How do I measure for a Custom Outdoor Kitchen Cover (Counter + Plinth)?
This guide explains how to measure your outdoor kitchen with a counter and plinth for a custom-fitted Kuvr® Outdoor Kitchen Cover, including each required measurement, where to take it, and how to record it accurately. There are 6 measurements to take, labelled A to F.
Important
Provide exact measurements with no extra allowance added. Kuvr® adds a standard tolerance of +25 mm (1 in) to the width and depth for a comfortable fit; no allowance is added to the height. You can measure in centimetres, inches, or metres — you choose your preferred unit when you configure the cover.
Please include photos
Photos of your outdoor kitchen with a counter and plinth, taken from a few angles alongside your measurements, help us understand the exact shape and get your cover right from the outset. Including a tape measure in shot for scale is ideal.
The measurements

This is the total width of the kitchen. Measure straight across from side to side, at the widest part.
B — Total depth
This is the total depth of the kitchen. Measure from front to back.
C — Total height
This is the vertical height from the floor to the highest point. Measure vertically from the floor, keeping the tape straight and plumb.
D — Depth to upper step lip
This is the depth from the front to the upper step lip. Measure from front to back.
E — Depth of upper step
This is the depth of the upper step. Measure from front to back.
F — Height to counter top

Frequently asked questions
How do I handle taps, grills or parts that stick out?
Measure to the outermost point of any fixed feature, such as a tap spout, grill lid or handle, so the finished cover clears it. Note anything removable in your order.
Should I measure with the grill lid open or closed?
Measure with the lid closed, to the highest fixed point, unless you specifically want the cover to fit over the lid raised.
Do you cover both built-in and freestanding outdoor kitchens?
Yes. The cover is cut to the dimensions you supply, so it fits built-in islands and freestanding units alike.
