Outdoor cabinet apparatus and method

An outdoor cabinet kit, comprising:

• One or more first planar front and rear base cabinet panels made of lightweight reinforced thin cement based composite material having interlocking tabs on a first vertical side edge and mating interlocking tabs on an opposed second vertical side edge such that a base cabinet can be formed with multiple front and rear panels connected and adhered together at the installation location of the kitchen base cabinet with the interlocking tabs on the first vertical side edge meshing capable of meshing with the interlocking tabs on the opposed second vertical side edge of another base cabinet panel;
• Said first planar side base cabinet panel have a lower edge and an upper edge and notches in the sides at the lower edges;
• Two second planar side end base cabinet panels made of lightweight reinforced thin cement based composite material having interlocking tabs on a third vertical side edge and on a fourth vertical side edge with the interlocking tabs on the third vertical front side meshing with the interlocking tabs on the second vertical side of the first planar front or rear base cabinet panel and with the interlocking tabs on the fourth vertical rear side of the side panel meshing with the interlocking tabs on the first vertical side of the first planar front or rear base cabinet panel;
• One or more cross beams made of lightweight reinforced cement based composite material that inserts in notches in the first planar front and rear base cabinet panels;
• A backsplash panel member made of lightweight reinforced cement based composite material for fitting on rear base cabinet panels and having a vertical backsplash section and a horizontal backsplash supporting section for securing to the upper edge of a rear base cabinet panel.

A method of constructing an outdoor cabinet, comprising the steps of:

• Connecting and adhering one or more first planar front and rear base cabinet panels made of lightweight reinforced thin cement based composite material having interlocking tabs on a first vertical side edge and mating interlocking tabs on an opposed second vertical side edge with another first planar front or rear base cabinet panel made of lightweight reinforced thin cement based composite material such that a base cabinet front or rear is formed with multiple front and rear panels connected together with the interlocking tabs and notches on the first vertical side edge meshing with the interlocking tabs and notches on the opposed second vertical side edge of another base cabinet panel;
• Connecting and adhering two second planar side end base cabinet panels made of lightweight reinforced thin cement based composite material having interlocking tabs on a third vertical side edge and on a fourth vertical side edge with the interlocking tabs and notches on the third vertical front side meshing with the interlocking tabs on the first vertical side of the first planar front or rear base cabinet panel and with the interlocking tabs on the fourth vertical rear side of the side panel meshing with the interlocking tabs on the second vertical side of the first planar front or rear base cabinet panel;
• Connecting and adhering one or more cross beams to notches in the front and rear base cabinet panels and notches in the sides at the lower edges.
