Pouring Concrete Outdoor Counters - EPIC Backyard Transformation Pt. 5

Pouring Concrete Outdoor Counters - EPIC Backyard Transformation Pt. 5

We built these incredible counters in our last episode of the outdoor kitchen renovation, but we didn’t show you how to make the countertops — we saved that for this video. You might have seen the result in the last episode, but you’re going to want to check out how we put together these bad boys. Pit Boss is also giving away ANOTHER grill in this episode, so you don’t want to miss out. Be sure to watch the full video to find out how to enter the Pit Boss giveaway and take notes on building some epic outdoor countertops yourself.

Sam Needs a Place to Set Down His Meats While He’s Cooking

John Malecki takes you step-by-step through the countertop-making process.

We already had the base of the counters put together — if you want to see how we did that, check out the previous episode. Our counters will have uneven stones to hide any imperfections, but we want to make sure the countertops are as smooth as we can get them. We don’t want Sam’s new Pit Boss grill sitting on some janky cement countertops. Pit Boss does not deserve that. 

First, we put cement boards over the base of the countertops to have a layer underneath the cement. Then, we had to build a little moat for laying down the cement — we used Z Counter Forms, which we love so much. Finally, a monumental moment has come on this channel. We’ve given Jordan the reigns to do a part of the build on his own. We are so proud of him, but does he mess this one up? You’re going to have to watch the full video to find out. Hint: things don’t go as planned.
