Outdoor bar fridges and drinks fridges, delivered Australia-wide.
An outdoor fridge has to work where a normal one gives up: a hot alfresco, a wet deck, salt air by the coast. Every one of these outdoor bar fridges carries its maker's outdoor rating, so pick the place first and the fridge follows.

Six fridges from this range that answer the most common briefs, chosen on outdoor rating, build and value. Prices and specs update with the range.

$994.00View fridge
Covered alfresco, all-rounder
132 litres in the same 495mm width, heated glass, 43 dB. The one to start with for a pergola or outdoor kitchen.

The most space in a two-door under-bench run: 274 litres across 870mm, in black stainless.
$1,726.00View fridge

316 marine-grade stainless, the highest grade available for rust prevention in coastal areas.
$2,609.00View fridge

$2,562.00View fridge
Width and height decide whether it fits. Check the listing for depth and the ventilation clearance before you build it in.

316 marine-grade stainless is the highest grade available for rust prevention and longevity in coastal areas. Eight fridges in this range are built from it, in two families.
Rhino Envy · 1, 2 and 3 doors
Blastcool iXP1 · built in
Inland and under a roof, the 304 stainless range suits and costs less. Within reach of salt air, choose 316.
Read this if the filters did not answer it. Every figure comes from the fridges on this page.
The rating tells you where a fridge can live, and it matters more than any other spec on the listing. There are two ratings in this range. Under cover models are rated indoor or outdoor enclosed under cover: patios, pergolas and outdoor kitchens with a roof. Outdoor rated models are IP24 rated for outdoor use, so they can handle rain, but not direct sun. 316 marine-grade stainless is a build rather than a rating, and it matters by the coast.
An indoor-only fridge does not belong outside at any price, so there are none on this page.
Getting drinks cold is easy. Keeping a compressor working in a hot, unairconditioned space through an Australian summer is not. The Rhino and Blastcool models here are specified to cool easily to zero in high ambient temperatures of 43°C and above. Makers rate each fridge to an ambient temperature, usually 38°C or 43°C, so check the rating on the listing against your summers. Whatever you choose, keep it out of direct sun.
Most of the range is 304 stainless, in steel or black, and that suits an alfresco area inland. Within reach of salt air, choose 316 marine-grade: it is the highest grade available for rust prevention and longevity in coastal areas.
An under-bench fridge vents through the front, so it can sit inside a run of cabinetry in an outdoor kitchen. An upright or freestanding fridge vents at the back and needs clear air behind and beside it. Put a rear-venting fridge in a closed cavity and it will run hot and fail early.
Single-door models here hold 89 to 219 litres, two-door 190 to 274 and three-door 330 to 399. A single-door under-bench fridge is 470 to 600mm wide; two doors take 870 to 1200mm and three doors about 1350mm. Measure the cavity, not the room, and work from the ventilation clearance on the listing.
Heated glass keeps the door clear on humid nights so you can see what is inside. Every Schmick and Rhino fridge on this page locks. Most run at 43 dB, quiet enough for a deck beside the living room.
Excellent - fast delivery, runs quietly and performs better than expected
Yes. An indoor bar fridge is built for room temperature, and in a hot alfresco area it runs constantly and fails early. Every fridge on this page carries an outdoor rating from its maker.
No. Choose a model rated Indoor or Outdoor Enclosed Under Cover at minimum. Those are the under-cover models on this page.
No. Even the outdoor-rated Rhino GSP models are IP24 rated to handle rain, but not direct sun. Put any outdoor fridge in shade.
Only to their rating. Outdoor-rated models are IP24 rated to handle rain, but not direct sun. Under-cover models are rated for outdoor areas enclosed under cover, so they need a roof over them.
A single-door under-bench model here is 470 to 600mm wide and about 840 to 875mm high. Two-door models run 870 to 1200mm wide, three-door about 1350mm. Every listing gives the exact size and the ventilation clearance.
Only one rated for it. The smallest outdoor fridges here are the 89L Schmick SK86 and the 98L Schmick SC88, both rated for covered alfresco areas.
The one rated for where it will live. Our picks on this page cover under $1,000, covered alfresco, outdoor-rated, coastal and three-door.
