I needed a way to hold my BBQ so it would not sit on my new deck. The problem was I wanted it to sit up against the wall but with the lid up it took up a lot of room.
I decided to put it on drawer runners so it would sit against the wall when not in use and pull out when needed.
What You Will Require.
I used 50x25x3mm Galvanised for all of the upper steel frame
I used 25x25x3mm Galvanised for the wall supports
I had some bamboo decking 87x19 left over so I used this to make the stand
Welder I prefer a MIG
Dyna bolts to hold it to the wall 4x6x50mm
I used teck screws to hold the decking onto the frame @20
Paint to protect the steel
Stain to protect the decking
I used a steel cut of saw to cut the steel
Steel drawer runners 350mm long fully extendable from local hardware store
First Step Making the Frames.

I worked out how far the drawer needed to slide to enable the lid to open
I used the 25x25x400mm for the uprights as I did not want them sticking out to far
I welded the 50x25x380mm onto the 25x25mm on it's end to get a big contact area and not need a brace
The inside frame was made from 25x50mm
Sides 25x50x400mm
End was 25x50x500mm it was fitted to the inside
Fitting the Slides

Once the frame was made I centered it on the wall allowed 15mm clearance each side for the runners, 350mm long fully extendable, and dyna bolted it on
I had pre drilled the holes for the 6mm dyna bolts making, sure they were drilled in the center of the bricks for strength
Fitting the Decking

Once the frame was sliding it was easy
Push the frame back into the stop
I fitted the sides first 87x410mm and then the front 87x680mm
When I fitted the top I sat 4x87x710mm boards on and spaced them evenly with an overhang on the front
Finishing

Once it was all working, sliding nicely, I took it apart
This was the stage where I thought I should make an Instructable. That is why all the pictures show holes pre drilled !!!
Painted the frame to match the down pipes and flashings, Woodland Grey
I used the same Intergrain stain on the slates as I had used on the decking
Fitting the BBQ

I folded some pieces of thin stainess to hold the BBQ in place.
Pre drilled the holes and screwed it down
I am really happy with the sliding unit. It looks tidy and gives me more deck space
