Description
Transform your patio into a dedicated culinary zone with the 10 x 8 Rowlinson Sojag Messina BBQ Shelter. Designed for both visual appeal and superb functionality, this impressive structure provides a permanent home for your grill. The wide diameter structure offers excellent coverage, allowing you to host garden parties and family meals without worrying about sudden changes in the weather dampening your plans.
At the core of this shelter is a highly durable, extruded aluminium design. Because the aluminium frame is rustproof, it remains virtually maintenance-free, offering peace of mind throughout the seasons. This sturdy base is finished with a premium powder coating, meticulously applied to provide maximum scratch and corrosion resistance, helping the shelter retain its pristine appearance year after year.
The roof is crafted using heavy-duty galvanised steel roof panels, engineered to withstand the elements and keep your cooking station completely dry. A standout feature is the clever double roof design, which not only adds a sophisticated architectural touch but also significantly increases airflow, allowing cooking smoke to escape easily rather than gathering around the chef. To complete the setup, two useful shelves flank the cooking area, offering indispensable counter space for preparing marinades, resting tongs, or storing your favourite condiments.
Features:
Roof - Double, galvanised steel roof design that improves air flow
Frame - Extruded aluminium powder-coated finish
Shelving - Positioned on two sides
Maintenance - Easy clean, low maintenance
Make the Most of Your Rowlinson BBQ Shelter
To get the absolute best from the Messina BBQ Shelter, position it thoughtfully on a level patio or robust timber deck, keeping it conveniently close to your home's kitchen for easy access to ingredients. By treating this floor area of 5.4 m2 as an extension of your indoor living space, you can create a seamless flow for entertaining. Adding some ambient outdoor string lights around the sturdy frame ensures the cooking doesn't have to stop when the sun sets, turning evening barbecues into a truly atmospheric experience.
The integrated side shelves offer a fantastic opportunity to personalise your culinary station. You might display potted herbs like rosemary and thyme, ensuring fresh flavours are always within arm's reach when grilling meats or vegetables. Furthermore, there is ample room to slide a slimline outdoor drinks cooler beneath one of the counters. With these simple additions, this shelter transforms a standard barbecue into a fully functioning, professional-style outdoor kitchen that is ready for any social gathering.

BBQ Shelter Maintenance
Your new Rowlinson aluminium BBQ shelter requires minimal upkeep, though we suggest giving it a gentle, clean after each use. Regular maintenance not only ensures your garden feature looks its absolute best throughout the seasons, but it also helps to protect the surface finish and extend its overall lifespan. Simply use a soft sponge or cloth combined with warm water and a neutral, non-abrasive soap to carefully wipe down the metal frame, removing any accumulated dirt or debris.
