Modern Outdoor Firetables
Fire creates warmth, comfort and ambiance, making the fire pit or fireplace a great addition to the landscape. Take the chill out of a cool evening, or enjoy the crackle of the fire while roasting s'mores. Fire is an important element to many homeowners, and we offer features that accommodate all sorts of outdoor living spaces - whether residential or commercial. We love modern firetables and concrete fire bowls, many options are available through MODE CONCRETE. For a more permanent solution, we can design and construct a fireplace or fire pit. We always ensure that features comply with local fire ordinances.

Everyday is a Staycation in Your Backyard Resort
Summer is just around the corner and it’s the perfect time to start planning your outdoor kitchen. Like clockwork, every May long weekend seems to be when all homeowners frantically push their contractors to get their outdoor kitchens done before all of our summer visitors start arriving (you get an abundance of summer time visitors when you live in the Okanagan).
Adding amenities to your outdoor space requires planning. It is ideal to lump together projects and complete several goals at once. Call us for information on creating an outdoor oasis, and we can discuss ways to maximize the value and comfort of your outdoor environment. Installation doesn't need to disrupt your life. We can work around your busy schedule.
From basic counters with cook tops to granite and upscale appliances, the outdoor kitchen has evolved into a luxury amenity that's just as equipped as the kitchen under your roof. Patios, retaining walls and plantings create a unique space for cooking, entertaining and dining.
It can take a few weeks to decide on a design that you like. Then once everything is decided and a 3D design is approved, getting the specific parts and accessories that you choose may take a few more weeks. And keep in mind that if you start planning your outdoor kitchen when everyone else does, your contractor may have to book you in after previous projects are completed.
In today's homes, the backyard has truly become an extension of your living space and MODE CONCRETE is at the forefront of helping clients create unique outdoor living spaces in the Okanagan. We are your complete source for custom designed outdoor kitchens, outdoor fireplaces, custom outdoor furniture, and pergola's.
The result: a customized setting that expands your living space and makes home feel like a vacation.

Picking the Best Grill for your Outdoor Kitchen
There are many great options available. Here are some things to consider when deciding.
You can trust MODE CONCRETE to walk you through the entire outdoor kitchen process and walk you through all the decisions. We have many different packages available, from design, to installation, to selling the outdoor grills - we help select between the many options available.
Please call today MODE CONCRETE for a consultation or more information.
- Performance - This is the most important thing. Do your research and make sure you are buying an outdoor grill that stands up to years of grilling.
- Appearance - The best built-in grill should enhance the look of your outdoor kitchen or BBQ Island. It should be the focal point of your outdoor kitchen and you should be proud to show it off.
- Durability - When making an investment in an outdoor kitchen you want the grill to be the centerpiece of your overall design. For the money spent, the best built-in grill should hold up well to the elements as well as to frequent use. A strong warranty says the manufacturer is confident that you won't have any problems and offers you peace of mind for years to come.
- Value - You should expect to pay more for quality, but that doesn't mean you should expect to throw money away. What is your budget?
- Price - You can spend a lot of money for a grill, but keep in mind you get what you pay for. Are you wanting a low end, a mid end, or high end grill? And how many years do you want to trust your grill will fire up summer after summer? This is the biggest investment of your outdoor kitchen, but it comes down to space, budget, and preference.
- Specifications - The grade and quality of the stainless steel, size of cooking surface, how many BTU's, brand preference? Are the burners and cooking grids made of stainless steel? Research the brands available and compare their features and benefits.
- Cool Extras - Does anything get your fancy? Check out the product lines you have available and see if anything stands out or appeals to you.
- The Warranty - You can tell a lot about the quality of a product by the warranty that the manufacturer puts behind it.
