After I created our garden patio a few weeks ago (see it here: [ Ссылка ]) and mentioned adding things to it throughout the year, I got several requests for a grill cart/BBQ station and prep table.

Now, we don’t do a whole lot of grilling so I really didn’t want anything where the grill was built into the project. So I kept this cart kind of basic so that it can stay versatile and be used for lots of things.

You can set a small grill on top and use it as a grill station, use it as a BBQ prep table next to your existing grill, use it as a bar cart, a serving table, or even just roll it around the yard to collect your vegetable harvest if you have a large garden.

I’ve got the building plans here if you'd like to build your own!

A Note About The Tools:
As part of this project, I got to use the new Ryobi 18V HP Cordless jig saw. I mentioned that technically, you could complete this project using just a drill and a jig saw and make this an easy 2-tool project.

Now, a driver and a miter saw make this build a little easier, BUT if you're limited on tools and budget, a jig saw makes a great beginner, budget power saw option. You can check out more about this Ryobi HP jig saw in the link below.

A few Notes About the Wood Type:

I kept this project SUPER SIMPLE. To keep costs low and assembly easy, I just used some basic untreated pine/whitewood construction lumber here—some 2x6s, 2x4s, 1x6s, and a couple furring strips.

Typically, you don't want to use untreated pine for an outdoor project as it's not resistant to moisture, so you could definitely use treated, red wood or cedar wood for this build if you prefer.

But I plan to keep this under cover and the untreated wood will still last several years especially if I apply an outdoor sealant.
