Concrete Blocks

Wood-fired pizza anyone? This built-in grill and pizza oven by @gilfordlandscape was made with a material called Techno Bloc Borealis. These concrete blocks resemble wood railroad ties we see on retaining walls. In this application, they achieve a rustic wood look while making the grill structure super strong and maintenance-free.

Brick Veneer

Thin brick veneer covers this beautiful area from @honeybuilthome. Desiring an upgraded space to fit her Traeger smoker, she built a wood frame, attached cement board, then applied the veneer. The thin brick comes on fiberglass sheets, like mosaic tile, making it much easier to install than real brick. Check out her full tutorial for details.
