Custom Outdoor Kitchens · Houston, TX
Your Backyard.
Your Kitchen.
We build custom outdoor kitchens that complement your pool and transform your backyard into a complete living space. Built-in grills, countertops, refrigeration, pergolas — all designed for Houston's climate and built to last.
WHY BUILD WITH RHINO
One Team. One Project. Zero Coordination Headaches.
Most Houston homeowners hire a pool company and a separate outdoor kitchen contractor — then spend months coordinating between two crews who don't talk to each other. Rhino Pool Pros builds both, so everything is designed together and built on one timeline.
01
One Contractor, One Project
When your outdoor kitchen is built by the same team as your pool, everything is coordinated — gas lines, electrical, decking, drainage. No finger-pointing between contractors.
02
Built for Houston's Climate
We specify materials that survive Houston's heat, humidity, and UV. No wood that rots, no frames that rust, no countertops that crack in the freeze-thaw cycle.
03
Permits Handled In-House
Gas lines, electrical, and structural permits are pulled and managed by Rhino Pool Pros. You don't deal with the city — we do.
04
Designed Around How You Entertain
We ask how you use your backyard before we design anything. The result is a kitchen that fits your lifestyle, not a catalog layout dropped into your yard.
WHAT WE BUILD
Outdoor Kitchen Features
Built-In Grills & Smokers
Commercial-grade built-in grills, smokers, and griddles from brands like Blaze, Lynx, and Weber. Sized and configured for your cooking style — from weekend family grilling to large-scale entertaining.
Countertops & Cabinetry
Concrete, porcelain, or granite countertops with weather-resistant cabinetry in stainless steel or powder-coated aluminum. Designed to handle Houston's heat, humidity, and UV exposure without warping or rusting.
Refrigeration & Ice
Outdoor-rated undercounter refrigerators, beverage centers, and ice makers keep drinks cold and entertaining effortless. All units are rated for outdoor use and wired to dedicated circuits.
Pergolas & Shade Structures
Aluminum or wood pergolas, shade sails, and covered pavilions that make your outdoor kitchen usable year-round in Houston's climate. Integrated lighting and ceiling fans complete the space.
Outdoor Bars & Sinks
Built-in bar areas with undermount sinks, hot and cold water, and bar-height seating. Designed for entertaining — your guests stay outside, and the host never has to run back inside.
Pizza Ovens & Side Burners
Wood-fired or gas pizza ovens, side burners, and wok burners for the serious outdoor cook. Integrated into the kitchen design so every appliance has a purpose and a place.
COMPLETE BACKYARD PACKAGES
Pool + Outdoor Kitchen = Complete Backyard
The most cost-effective time to add an outdoor kitchen is during your pool build. The gas lines, electrical, and decking are already being installed — adding a kitchen at the same time eliminates redundant labor and reduces total project cost by 15–25% compared to adding it later.
Rhino Pool Pros designs the pool and outdoor kitchen as a single cohesive space — not two separate projects bolted together. The result is a backyard that looks intentional, functions seamlessly, and adds maximum value to your home.

Outdoor Kitchen FAQs
How much does an outdoor kitchen cost in Houston?
Outdoor kitchen costs in Houston typically range from $15,000 for a basic built-in grill with countertop to $80,000+ for a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with built-in grill, refrigerator, sink, ice maker, pizza oven, pergola, and outdoor TV. The final cost depends on the size, appliances, countertop materials, and structural elements like pergolas or shade structures.
What materials are best for outdoor kitchens in Houston's climate?
Houston's heat and humidity require materials that resist moisture, UV, and temperature swings. Rhino Pool Pros uses stainless steel appliances rated for outdoor use, concrete or porcelain countertops, and powder-coated aluminum or masonry frames. We avoid materials that warp, rust, or degrade in Houston's subtropical climate.
Can an outdoor kitchen be added to an existing pool area?
Yes. Outdoor kitchens are frequently added to existing pool areas as a separate project. We assess the available space, existing decking, gas and electrical connections, and drainage to design a kitchen that integrates seamlessly with your pool. Combining an outdoor kitchen with a pool remodel or new pool build is the most cost-effective approach.
Do outdoor kitchens require permits in Houston?
Yes. Outdoor kitchens with gas lines, electrical connections, or structural elements (pergolas, shade structures) typically require permits in Houston and surrounding municipalities. Rhino Pool Pros handles all permitting in-house, including gas line inspections and electrical sign-offs.
How long does it take to build an outdoor kitchen?
A standard outdoor kitchen build takes 3–6 weeks from permit approval to completion. More complex projects with pergolas, shade structures, and multiple appliance runs can take 6–10 weeks. When combined with a new pool build, the outdoor kitchen is typically completed during the decking phase to minimize disruption.
