Chris McRee transformed his backyard into an inviting oasis with a stunning northern slate outdoor kitchen. By framing the kitchen island and finishing it with GenStone’s Northern Slate panels, Chris achieved the look of authentic stacked stone—perfect for entertaining guests or enjoying family meals outdoors. The natural slate tones complement both rustic and modern patio designs, making this outdoor kitchen a standout feature in any northern climate backyard.
The Northern Slate Outdoor Kitchen product was chosen for its realistic stone appearance and durability. Its multi-toned gray hues capture the essence of natural slate, providing timeless curb appeal and seamlessly blending with outdoor elements like wood, stainless steel, and landscaping. With GenStone’s weather-resistant panels, Chris’s outdoor kitchen will maintain its beauty through every season, offering both style and long-lasting performance.
One of the biggest advantages of GenStone is its ease of installation—each lightweight panel is designed for DIYers, requiring no mortar or specialized tools. Chris was able to complete the project quickly with minimal mess, saving on labor costs and time.
