Alpes, Pyrenees, Elegant or Design: Which Barbecue Line to Choose

Once you've decided you want a built-in barbecue, the next question is style: which one matches your garden best? Here are the main lines in our catalogue, explained in plain terms.

Alpes: the stone classic with character

Stone with a dark grey finish and its own masonry-style chimney. It's the most versatile line: it fits Mediterranean gardens as well as mountain or rustic-style spaces. If you're not sure where to start, Alpes is usually the safe choice.

Pyrenees: same spirit, different texture

Shares its family and assembly with Alpes, but with a somewhat different stone texture that gives it a slightly different feel. Worth comparing both closely (in person or in detailed photos) before deciding, since the difference is subtle but real.

Elegant: straight lines and minimalism

Clean geometric shapes and a fine rough texture, designed for contemporary gardens where traditional stone would feel out of place. Along with the iron range, it's also one of the best options for smaller spaces.

Design: the middle ground between rustic and modern

Combines a 3mm iron chimney with an artificial stone body with a more elaborate finish. It's usually the pick when you're after something in between — not as rustic as Alpes, not as minimalist as Elegant.

Wood-effect: warmth without real wood maintenance

For anyone who wants the visual warmth of wood without having to weatherproof it, this line mimics the texture and tone of wood over a reinforced artificial-stone structure.

How to decide?

The most useful question isn't "which is best?" but "what style does my garden already have?". If natural stone and earthy tones dominate, Alpes or Pyrenees will fit best. If your terrace is modern, with clean lines and little clutter, Elegant or Design is the more coherent choice. See every line side by side in our full catalogue.
