| How we build better,stronger islands than the other guys. |
| CROMAGNA MAN ISLANDS- Building a bbq island out of block has its advantages and disadvantages. Advantages- if you ever need a bomb shelter you now have one. Disadvantages- It is a permanent fixture requiring permits, has to be built on location and take at least 7 days for the structure with a crew of workers and all the mess that comes along with that process. Lastly, if any stainless ever needs to be replaced at a later date it is a major project to re-size the openings. |

| MODULAR ISLANDS- Building a bbq island out of Modular pieces also has its advantages and disadvantages. Advantages- It isn’t a block built island Disadvantages- It is it is made of many smaller pieces which weekends the structure, making it less reliable to move after it is completed. All the finish work still has to be done on location. Lastly, you are limited on the design of the structure. |

| WELDED FRAME ISLANDS- Building a bbq island out of Welded frame also has its advantages and disadvantages. Advantages- It’s a solid one piece structure Disadvantages- The biggest disadvantage is the structure rusting. Yes the powder coat helps to prevent this but what they don’t tell you is when the hardy backer is installed the screws break through the powder coating making every screw an opportunity for rust to grow. Also, similar to block built, if any stainless ever needs to be replaced it is a major project to resize openings. |
