Plans for enclosed table?

I have looked around, and can't find any plans for a table that is enclosed (like with doors, drawers, etc.)

I would like to have a place to store all of the accessories out of sight, and protected from the elements. (Have a large XL, but plans could be for a large - I can scale up.)

Thanks,
Richard

    yes, i have been looking to do the same for a while.

    here is my project. I could not get over the cost of doors you see on outdoor bbq sites. so i did somthing different i bought some kitchen cabnet doors that are alum and glass from IKEA. i expect the hinges might be a long term issue. i will spray with wd40 ongoing. But,the doors were only 40bucks each. that was a big win. I hope to keep my lump and on the left cabnet. the middle section will have various cooking stuff. the shelf below the egg section on the rigt will have the plate setter and pizza stone.

    Yep - sure did.

    I found great plans for the standard two shelf open table, plus tons of pics of really cool tables (open and enclosed, some very creative), but no plans of any enclosed tables.

    Surely someone has some plans somewhere! :huh:

    That looks great.

    What are the two by four blocks for at the top of the center section?

    That answered the question in my other post.

    I like the look of yours, but I can't do mine attached to my house (windows and fireplace jut out), so I have to put against the rails of the deck.

    I wonder if painted plywood would weather well?

    SteveinTN - great minds think alike. I have been designing an outdoor kitchen, and my "brilliant" idea was to buy the Ikea drawers and do my own fronts out of clear redwood. I did Ikea kitchen cabinets for my garage pantry and cabinets, and was very impressed with the drawers, especially how you can do the high "pull out" style cabinets...

    By summer, I should have mine completed and will post pics...good luck with yours

    I would use hardiboard instead of plywood. It's a cement based product that will last forever in the elements and will have the same look. You can build the frame out of wood, enclose with hardiboard and wood for doors and drawer fronts.

    So true!
    All of the exterior is hardiplank stained to look like house. The top shelf (now u see 2x4s) will be 1/2 in hardiboard and tile. I can not wait to get the egg in the hole.

    I did make some rough plans for my enclosed table but I altered them so much along the way they are pretty much worthless. Here are a few thoughts and pictures that might help.

    I wanted some place to store a little lump, tools and grills.

    I had a whole mess of tongue & groove Cedar left over from a previous project. I made a heat barrier to go around the back of the the egg hoping that it would throw a little heat out for more comfy winter cooks, didn't do much on to help but I am glad I did it anyway, it keeps the side and back from heating up and drying out. I also put some galvanized on the floor where the dirty grids were stored. Top is just 5/8 inch Birch plywood with a piece of flagstone that I had laying around.

    Hope these pics help a little and don't forget the Beer opener.
    If I were to do it again I would have made it so you could just slide the egg in and out the front.

    Good luck with your table.

    That looks great. I love the flagstone.

    I'll keep that handy when I start designing mine.

    If you are going to put wheels on it I would suggest heavy duty wheels. The Naked Whiz Has a section on his site showing how his 7" lawn mower type wheels gave out after 5 or 6 years. (Forgive me Whiz if I don't have that exactly right).
