Kiwis are embracing the outdoor kitchen, which elevates alfresco dining with integrated storage and amenities. When planning your outdoor setup, material choice is critical to ensure durability against the elements.

To prevent rust, prioritise corrosion resistance, especially for hardware like hinges. Products like Hettich's Veosys hinge, made from 304-grade stainless steel, are specifically designed for this purpose. Consulting a designer or builder is vital to select the right materials for a long-lasting and functional outdoor entertaining space.
