Whether you barbecue on a popularly priced grill or a top-of-the-line
stainless
multi-burner behemoth
there are some things that don't change. Sparks
spills
grease and flare-ups are inevitable when cooking and eating in your backyard
whether it involves feeding the family or entertaining a crowd. Outdoor living can cause serious damage to a patio
porch or deck in which you've made a substantial financial investment and perhaps devoted many hours of labor. As outdoor rooms become increasingly popular
many decks and patios are getting bigger and more deluxe
which translates to more costly.

You can
however
invest a few dollars in a grill pad now to avoid spending thousands of dollars later replacing or repairing the damaged outdoor living surface. U.S. homeowners currently spend over $230 billion annually on remodeling and renovation
and a full third of that staggering amount is for outdoor amenities
with decks and patios a priority. The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) reports that more than half the 1.8 million new homes built have decks
patios or porches.

The "Original" Grill Pad is a lightweight
flexible
fiber-cement deck protector that is so durable it will outlast most grills. It is easily cleaned with a garden hose and "breathes" to minimize water buildup that can cause stains and even mildew on the expensive surface beneath it. You'll want one under each of your outdoor heating appliances including grills
smokers
turkey fryers
chimeneas or firepits.

The pads are available in five designer colors to match any outdoor d้cor. Choose from a 30-inch round or a 30 x 42-inch oval or rectangle shape in Earthtone
Berry Black
Granite Grey
Big Green or Brick Red.
