If you are planning an outdoor kitchen and live near the water, consider the effects of galvanic corrosion. Galvanic corrosion is a process in which one metal corrodes when in contact with a different type of metal in the presence of an electrolyte such as salt water.
For example, if you have aluminum outdoor cabinets and install stainless steel Tidal Pulls, you could experience corrosion of the metal unless certain steps are taken to prevent it.
If the aluminum is anodized the galvanic reaction will be minimal. As an alternative, you could coat the aluminum or stainless with an epoxy paint in order to minimize the amount of moisture between the two metals and to keep the electrolysis at bay.
