Outdoor Refrigerators | Best of Backyard

An outdoor refrigerator keeps food and drinks cold right where you need them—outside. Built specifically for outdoor environments, these refrigerators are designed to handle heat, moisture, and frequent use without skipping a beat. At Best of Backyard, we offer outdoor-rated refrigerators made for patios, outdoor kitchens, and entertainment areas.

How Outdoor Refrigerators Are Commonly Used

Outdoor refrigerators quickly become one of the most-used appliances outside. Homeowners rely on them for:

• Drinks during gatherings

• Ingredients while grilling

• Extra cold storage for parties

• Keeping items close to seating and prep areas

Once installed, there’s no running back inside.

What Makes an Outdoor Refrigerator Different

Outdoor refrigerators are not the same as indoor units. Models designed for outdoor use feature:

• Components built to handle temperature swings

• Materials that resist corrosion and moisture

• Ventilation designed for outdoor installations

Using an indoor fridge outdoors often leads to early failure—outdoor-rated units are built to avoid that.

Sizes & Styles to Consider

Outdoor refrigerators come in different formats depending on how your space is used:

• Compact units for drinks only

• Larger refrigerators for food and beverages

• Glass-door or solid-door options

Choosing the right size matters more than people expect, especially when entertaining.

Placement Matters

Where the refrigerator is installed affects how often it’s used. Many homeowners place them:

• Near grills and prep areas

• Close to bar seating

• In entertainment zones away from heat

We help customers think through placement so it’s convenient, not just “where it fits.”

What to Look For When Shopping

When choosing an outdoor refrigerator, pay attention to:

• Outdoor rating (not indoor)

• Door style and swing direction

• Capacity based on how you entertain

• Venting requirements

These details make a big difference long-term.
