The summer in the UAE is taking a break from us. Finally, this sizzling heat is cooling down and that sweet and breezy winter is tiptoeing closer to us. Winter practically begs us to go out, fire up the grill, you know the one gathering dust in the corner of your yard? Yeah, that one.
Before you get too distracted thinking about the juicy burger or kebab, the first thing you really need to consider is whether your outdoor space is actually ready for BBQ season, or if you are one little gust of wind away from being exposed as the backyard amateur.
Why Winter BBQs are the Best Thing You Haven’t Thought About Yet
Winter in the UAE means more than just a cooler temperature, it is the best time to enjoy the outdoors. You can actually breathe outside without your skin melting off your body. It is that one season for backyard BBQs with friends and family without the concern of passing out from heat exhaustion.
But there is a catch: your outdoor needs to be as ready as your appetite. Because nothing beats the feeling of inviting everyone over, only to realize your setup looks like something a caveman would laugh at.
The First Rule of BBQ Gathering is to create a space you actually want to be in. If your idea of an outdoor kitchen is one rusty grill and a wobbly chair, then it’s time for an upgrade my friend. Winter is literally your biggest excuse to go all out and make that backyard an outdoor cooking space.
Pro Tip: Not all BBQ spaces are created equal, Choose one that suits your outdoor space and meets your requirements. Make sure it’s functional enough and stylish enough to make your friends question their taste in outdoor space.
What You Really Need to Make Your Outdoor Space Winter-Ready
The weather is your buddy during winter, but sometimes it can be quite unpredictable. Add a pergola or some sort of shade system. It adds a bit of class to your space and covers you in case of that random sandstorm. You can attach some hanging lights, too, just to give you that “totally pro-BBQ” vibe.
The grill is the star. If your existing grill is not in the best shape, an upgrade is most definitely in order. Think of several burners and maybe even a built-in fridge so you can flex on your guests with perfectly chilled drinks.
Did you really think that your wooden chair would survive the summer heat?. Invest in sturdy and durable concrete outdoor seating. Add cushions to create a comfortable area. Additionally, add a fire pit for when the evening gets just a bit cooler late at night
