Stable, non-combustible pads for grills, smokers and outdoor cooking equipment, with clearances, drainage and room to work.
A grill sitting on grass or an old deck is a hazard waiting to happen. A grill pad gives the cooker a flat, non-combustible home with space around it, protects the lawn from grease and heat and makes cooking easier. Nashville owners add pads beside patios, near the back door and at the edge of outdoor kitchens.
Your designer picks a location with clearance from the house, overhangs, fences and trees and with room for a prep table. The crew prepares a compacted base and builds a pad of pavers, stone or concrete with a slight slope for drainage. Edging and a connecting path are added, and gas or power lines can be run to the spot. The scope lists the size, materials and clearances.
A grill needs distance from siding, eaves and plants, and a spot where smoke does not blow toward windows or seating.
Pavers, stone and concrete handle heat and grease, and wood and mulch do not.
A pad bigger than the grill gives space for a table, tools and a path, which makes cooking safer and easier.
A slight slope and a sealed surface make grease easy to clean and keep water from pooling.
