Your barbecue island needs a solid and level
foundation. Damage caused by inadequate or
improper foundation support is not covered by the
warranty. It is the responsibility of the owner to provide
a proper foundation for the barbecue island.
If you do not already have a location for your barbecue
island, we recommend you have a concrete slab
prepared to accommodate it. There are several
advantages of having a permanent slab, including
stability, levelness, and it eliminates sagging.
As you prepare your slab, this is the best time to run
gas, electrical, and water lines and locate stub-ups
for your barbecue island to connect to. The size and
shape of the base of the barbecue island is called a
footprint.
Footprint drawings show the actual dimensions of
the base and suggested locations for your stub-ups.
Footprint drawings for each model can be found in this
guide starting on page 9.
Although a permanent slab is recommended, you can
place your barbecue island on a prepared surface with
bricks or pavers. We do not recommend you place
your barbecue island on gravel, sand, timbers, dirt
or grass because these surfaces have the potential
to become unstable or uneven. Your barbecue island
should always be on a stable, at, level surface.
You can put your barbecue island on a deck provided
it is rated to support the full weight of your barbecue
island, grill, and all accessories. We recommend you
have a contractor or structural engineer examine your
deck to determine whether it can bear the load of your
barbecue island.

foundation and more. Your retailer has a wealth of
information and experience about how to get the
