How to embrace the humble barbeque as a built-in timber design feature.
The trusty BBQ has almost always been treated as an afterthought in our homes.
Traditionally in New Zealand a BBQ is stored down the side of the house, tucked away out of sight for winter, only to be dragged out and cleaned coming into spring.
Many forward thinking designers and home builders have started to rethink the status quo and there is a trend now to “design in” BBQ areas that embrace the humble BBQ, and leverage the outdoor room.
Abodo’s Vulcan Screening and Vulcan Cladding make a perfect natural feature to highlight your new integrated BBQ.
To pique your interest here are some feature BBQ ideas:
Responding to customer demand for greater fixing depth, builders will get an extra 10mm where they need it most. Replacing the 65mm, the new 75mm Cladding Screw is arriving in September 2026.
An enhanced Protector coating formulation, is being rolled out. Factory coating of the new Protector – Patina is now happening, with Straw and Teak changing over in August.
Abodo introduces a breakthrough that reshapes what’s possible in timber design: Vaaro Fire, an ultra-durable, fire compliant timber* - all from one trusted manufacturer.
Lead times for our main Vulcan® Cladding, Decking, Screening and Panelling lines, temporarily extended.
