Hi @Revi,

A warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.

In outdoor areas, you will have to use H3 Treated Pine for your framing. The framing will have to follow conventional construction methods, using a top and bottom plate alongside vertical studs to ensure the benchtop is braced laterally and supported vertically. 

The frame will need to be clad with non-combustible material such as fibre cement sheeting and allow for ventilation in line with Australian Standard 5601.1.

Yes, you will need to have a sheet underneath the BBQ to support the weight and be compliant with the relevant standards around non-combustible construction.

Check out this example from the manual of the Jumbuck Astro 4 Burner Built In BBQ for some guidance based on the dimensions of their product.

You mentioned that the BBQ will be subject to rain? Can you show me the location where you are planning to put it? 
 

Let me know what you think and if you have further questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Hi @Revi,

Is the plan to use a built-in BBQ like your plans or a standalone BBQ with some benches built on either side, like in the image?

It is important that whatever design you use is in line with the recommendations for your specific BBQ.

In your example, they have used decking boards like these SpecRite 90 x 19mm Merbau Pre-Oiled Decking, which are suitable for use in wet areas and can be used to clad your whole frame besides the area where the BBQ sits if you are using a built-in BBQ.

If you are using a built-in BBQ like your original plans, then the BBQ will have to sit on and be surrounded by non-combustible fibre cement sheeting such as Villaboard.

Let me know what you think.

Hi @Revi,

The BBQ itself needs to sit on non-combustible material such as the Villaboard I mentioned above.

For your timber benchtops on the sides, this SpecRite 2200 x 600 x 26mm Multi-Use Merbau Panel would match the cladding nicely. Alternatively, this Practa 2200 x 600 x 26mm Acacia Timber Benchtop would look fairly similar at a lower price point.
