Upgrade your outdoor cooking space with a smart and affordable DIY solution! In this video, I show you how to finally solve the waste management problem in your outdoor kitchen by repurposing a high quality Vevor drawer unit.
It has been two years since the initial build of this outdoor kitchen, and while the various Vevor cabinets and the grill zone have held up beautifully, one essential piece was still missing: a dedicated trash can. Because specific outdoor trash units can be difficult to source in certain regions, I decided to think outside the box by using a stainless steel gas cylinder drawer to house a standard hardware store wastebasket.
✅ Using a gas cylinder drawer as a custom trash solution. ✅ Step-by-step guide to measuring and cutting the installation opening. ✅ How to protect your wood structure from moisture using boat varnish. ✅ Using Ytong stones and bitumen barriers for long-term structural support. ✅ A real-world look at the quality of budget-friendly stainless steel units.
This tutorial takes you through the entire professional installation process. You will see how I measure and cut the OSB board, apply boat varnish to protect against moisture, and create a rock solid foundation using Ytong stones and a bitumen barrier. This setup is designed to last for years, providing a sleek and hidden waste solution that matches the rest of the stainless steel units. Whether you are just starting your garden kitchen or looking to refine an existing setup, this project is a great way to add functionality without spending a fortune on premium soft close models.
