We built a new bbq patio (before and after). So excited!

[Baby Back Maniac]

I've never been so excited about a slab of concrete...which admittedly is low bar, but still!

When we moved into this house, we had absolutely no patio space so we built a little patio with a pergola. It was nice, but it was probably too small the day we finished building it. (I don't have to explain the "cooker addiction" problem to this crew, I hope.) I'm hoping with this I won't have to keep any of the grills in the garage anymore.

Nice add-on. Im itching to expand our patio and build a new outdoor living space. I need a permanent place to put this new 1700 pound beast I got that isn't out in my drive way.

Sir, you look like one happy camper!!! Congratulations.

 

[SmittyJonz]

:clap: are you gonna cover it or leave it open.?

 

[jsperk]

Nice cooking area.

That was a really cool vid! Where's the pool? Enjoy the extra space. Happy New Year! Edit: Rewatched and seen the pool left of the original patio

Congrats on the new patio

If you don't mind me asking, what's a project like this cost in the Dallas area?

 

[pjtexas1]

I like it!
Jack, my 12x31 slab was $1,500. Not sure if that helps. I'm interested in hearing what maniac''s cost in his area.

Very Nice you were going to have a lot of fun with that. Congrats and enjoy

Look's great! My wife and I are about to do the same thing soon

Very nice!! The pad looks like laid down and finished out nice. I like the vid you shot.
Your cookers and you will be happy.

 

[Smoking Piney]

Nice!

I did the same thing a few years ago. It's awesome to have a nice place for the cookers. Are you going to put a roof over the new pad?

 

[LMAJ]

Very nice - congrats!!

 

[pcshrews]

Nice job! The textured surface looks nice. Keep the videos coming!

 

[SmokerKing]

Might regret the textured surface should you have any grease spills, drops, etc.

 

[Hotch]

Nicely done! Looks good.

Sorry for the late reply. My notifications starting going in my SPAM folder for some reason.

I'm probably not going to cover it...at least not permanently because there is a road behind my fence and the city has restrictions that feel a little ridiculous, but they are what they are. I may do something of a temporary nature, but haven't really looked into it yet.

Yep, it's the opposite direction of where we built this. What's cool is the whole patio is the same pool decking so it looks like it was all done at the same time...or at least it will when the new stuff gets dirty. lol.
