How to Plan Your Build
Measure first
Length, width, and accessible side margins of your patio. Photo the install area too.
Identify the focal point
Fireplace? BBQ island? Fire pit? Build everything else around that anchor.
Plan activity zones
Cooking, dining, lounging — keep them separated where space allows.
Account for utilities
Gas line distance, electrical access, water access. Don't skip this.
Budget for delivery
White-glove delivery, gas/electrical work, and any prep adds to the project total.
