About
Designed like an interior. Built for outside.
Forge Outdoor makes outdoor kitchens with the discipline of an interior. Clean lines, our signature Ridge pull handle, considered proportions and a Forge Black powder-coated finish, so the kitchen belongs to the home rather than looking like equipment parked in the garden.
The benchtops are sintered stone, chosen because it takes sun, heat and salt air without fading, yellowing or needing to be sealed. The cabinetry is marine-grade aluminium that won't rust by the coast. Together they hold their look through real New Zealand weather.
You shape your kitchen in our 3D builder and see it, with exact dimensions, before anything is made. Every kitchen is then made to order and measured to your space. We design, supply and install across Auckland, Waikato and the Bay of Plenty, so it arrives built and fitted, ready for your appliances.
We keep the range tight and the quality high. We would rather build a smaller number of kitchens properly than sell a product we would not put in our own backyard.
Good to know
The practical questions, answered.
Where do you install?
Across Auckland, Waikato and the Bay of Plenty at launch. We supply and install, so your kitchen arrives built and fitted, not flat-packed for you to assemble.
What is in the price?
The price you see is the cabinetry, ex GST. Benchtop, sink and appliances are specified and quoted with you, so you only pay for what your layout needs.
Do you supply the BBQ and fridge?
No. The cabinetry is built to take your chosen appliances, with trim kits that suit the common grill brands. You buy the appliances you want, and we build the kitchen around them.
Will it handle the weather?
Yes. Marine-grade aluminium, sintered stone and stainless hardware are all chosen for UV, rain and coastal salt air. It is made to stay outside year-round.
Can I start small and add to it later?
Yes. Start with a compact run and add to it as your space and budget grow. Every cabinet is built to the same dimensions and finish, so extending the kitchen later is straightforward.
Can I change the design after I start?
Up until your configuration goes into production, yes. We confirm the final layout with you before anything is made.
How long does it take?
The cabinetry is made to order, so we confirm a realistic timeline with you at quote rather than promise a date we cannot hold.
I am an architect or landscape designer. Can you work to my plans?
Yes. We work to your drawings and provide module dimensions and finish specs for your documentation. See the trade page.
