What Size Outdoor Sink Works Best for an Alfresco Kitchen?

The right outdoor sink size depends on what you want it to do.

For a compact courtyard kitchen where the sink is mainly for handwashing or rinsing glasses, a smaller bowl can be enough. Buildmat's alfresco range includes compact 300mm and 380mm-wide sink options.

If you will be washing BBQ trays, large platters, or serving ware, we'd look at a wider bowl. Buildmat's outdoor range also includes 600mm, 700mm, 810mm, 900mm, and 950mm alfresco sinks.

Before choosing, measure the cabinet or bench width, the usable bench depth, and the space you need beside the sink for prep. A large sink is useful, but it shouldn't take up the bench space you actually need when cooking outside.

Browse alfresco sinks or bring your outdoor-kitchen plan to the Buildmat Selection Centre.
