Outdoor Kitchen and Appliance Testing: Performance Proven

At Range, performance is never assumed, it’s proven. Every outdoor kitchen and appliance is engineered and tested in real-world conditions to ensure it performs reliably over time. From early prototypes to final production, our products are exposed to heat, moisture, humidity, salt air, and repeated daily use to confirm long-term durability and consistent performance.

We test our kitchens as complete systems, making sure appliances, cabinetry, and surfaces work together seamlessly outdoors.

Testing

Thermal & Heat Performance Testing
Grills and ovens undergo thermal mapping to ensure even heat distribution, predictable temperatures, and reliable cooking performance.

Burner & Ignition Cycle Testing
Burners and ignition systems are repeatedly cycled to confirm dependable startup and long-term reliability.

Extreme Temperature Refrigeration Testing
Outdoor refrigerators are tested in high and low ambient temperatures to ensure stable cooling and consistent operation.

Cabinet & Hardware Cycle Testing
Doors, drawers, hinges, and shelving are opened and closed thousands of times to validate smooth operation and lasting durability.

MORE TESTING

Surface Durability Testing
Countertops and finishes are tested against heat, moisture, and UV exposure to confirm long-term appearance and performance.

Salt Spray Corrosion Testing
Metal components undergo salt spray exposure to verify corrosion resistance in coastal and high-humidity environments.

Packaging Protection Testing
Packaging materials are tested through drop and vibration simulations to ensure products arrive protected and installation-ready.

The Range Standard
Every test is designed with one goal: to deliver outdoor kitchens and appliances that perform consistently, withstand the elements, and provide lasting confidence season after season.

Outdoor Structures Testing: Proven in the Real World

At Range, we prove performance. Every pergola and gazebo we design is engineered, evaluated, and refined through real-world testing to ensure it performs reliably over time. From the earliest prototype to final production, our structures are tested in the conditions they are built to withstand.

We design for how people actually experience their outdoor spaces by exposing our structures to wind, snow, heat, humidity, salt air, and seasonal change. Every material, connection point, and load-bearing component is validated to confirm long-term durability, safety, and structural integrity season after season.

testing

Wind Load Testing
Pergolas and gazebos are tested to withstand gusts exceeding 100 mph when properly anchored, confirming stability and safety during severe weather conditions.

Snow Load Simulation
Roof systems are rated for up to 50 pounds per square foot (approximately 30 inches of snow) ensuring structural integrity through winter conditions.

Salt Spray & Corrosion Testing
Steel components and finishes undergo extended salt spray exposure to verify resistance to corrosion in coastal and high-humidity environments.

UV Exposure Testing
Materials and coatings are evaluated under prolonged UV conditions to ensure color retention and long-term finish durability.

more testing

Structural Stress Testing
Load-bearing components and connection points are subjected to repeated stress simulations to confirm long-term rigidity, alignment, and performance.

Humidity & Moisture Resistance Testing
Materials are exposed to high-humidity environments to validate durability and performance in challenging climates.

Transport Simulation Testing
Packaging and structural components are tested to ensure products arrive undamaged and ready for assembly.

The Range Standard
Every test we conduct serves one purpose: to ensure Range structures deliver lasting performance, structural confidence, and durability in the environments where they live.

Outdoor Kitchen and Appliance Quality: Verified at the Source

Quality is something we build into every step of the process. Our outdoor kitchens are crafted with the understanding that they must perform reliably in real outdoor environments, and that level of consistency comes from hands-on oversight where products are made.

We maintain dedicated Range quality specialists embedded within each manufacturing facility, providing in-person monitoring throughout production. Their role is to ensure that every cabinet, appliance, surface, and hardware component meets our standards for precision, durability, and finish before it ever leaves the factory.

On-Site Oversight at Every Stage
Range quality specialists work directly on the production floor, reviewing materials, finishes, and assembly in real time. This presence allows us to confirm tolerances, alignment, and functionality as products are being built.

Craftsmanship Verification
Welding, powder coating, surface finishes, and hardware installation are carefully inspected to ensure consistency and long-term durability. Each component is evaluated for precision fit and visual alignment.

Cabinet & Hardware Inspection
Doors, drawers, hinges, and shelving are checked for smooth operation, structural integrity, and proper alignment to ensure dependable performance over time.

Appliance Function Validation
Grills, ovens, and refrigeration components undergo functional checks to confirm reliable operation and performance consistency before shipment.

Finish & Material Review
Surfaces are inspected for uniformity, durability, and resistance to outdoor conditions, ensuring every kitchen maintains its appearance and performance over years of use.

The Range Standard
Quality at Range means knowing every detail has been reviewed, verified, and built to perform. It’s how we deliver outdoor kitchens that provide confidence not only on day one, but for years to come.

Outdoor Structures Quality: Verified at the Source

Quality is built into every stage of production. Our pergolas and gazebos are designed as permanent outdoor structures, and achieving consistent structural integrity requires hands-on oversight where they are made.

That’s why we maintain dedicated Range quality specialists embedded within our manufacturing facilities. These team members work directly on-site, monitoring materials, fabrication, and assembly in real time to ensure every structural component meets our standards for strength, precision, and finish before it leaves the facility.

On-Site Oversight at Every Stage
Range quality specialists are present throughout production, verifying component dimensions, finishes, and structural assembly as each structure is built. This direct involvement allows us to maintain consistent standards across every unit.

Structural Integrity Verification
Welds, connection points, and load-bearing elements are carefully reviewed to confirm strength, alignment, and long-term stability. Critical structural joints are inspected to ensure they perform as intended under real-world conditions.

Finish & Coating Inspection
Powder-coated and galvanized surfaces are evaluated for consistency, adhesion, and durability to ensure long-term resistance to weather and corrosion.

Mixed-Material Precision Review
For structures that incorporate both steel and timber elements, specialists verify the fit and interface between materials to maintain both structural performance and visual refinement.

Hardware & Assembly Checks
Fasteners, anchoring components, and structural hardware are reviewed for proper installation and alignment, ensuring a secure and stable final structure.

The Range Standard
Quality at Range means every pergola and gazebo is carefully reviewed, verified, and built to perform season after season. It’s how we ensure our structures deliver lasting strength, refined craftsmanship, and confidence in every environment.
