Upgrade Your Outdoor Entertaining Area with a Portable Sink
Backyard entertaining is all about good food, good company, and easy flow. A portable sink gives your outdoor kitchen or BBQ zone a whole new level of practicality, without the need for plumbing.
Hosting a BBQ or dinner outdoors is one of life’s simple pleasures, but let’s be honest, the trek back and forth to your kitchen can be a hassle. That’s where a portable sink comes in handy. Designed to be compact, self-contained, and easy to set up, it’s the unsung hero of outdoor entertaining.
Why Add a Portable Sink to Your Outdoor Setup?
Whether it’s rinsing fresh produce from the garden or washing your hands after handling raw meat, a dedicated hand washing station outdoors is a practical luxury. Buildmat’s portable sinks feature a self-contained basin with a drain plug, which means no plumbing is needed. Just set it up, fill the tub, and you’re good to go.
Unlike traditional outdoor sinks that may require fixed plumbing, these are ideal for renters, campers, or anyone after a quick DIY upgrade. It’s a solution that brings convenience without the cost of a full renovation.

What Makes Our Portable Sinks Different?
First up, style. These aren't clunky, industrial units – they’re sleek and modern, designed to blend into contemporary outdoor kitchen spaces. Made from durable stainless steel, they’re corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, and built for Australian conditions.
Need more versatility? Pair them with kitchen accessories like sink protector grids or basket wastes and strainers to maximise usability. Whether you're prepping salad greens or keeping things tidy mid-party, these little additions make a big difference.
How to Use It: Backyard BBQs, Garden Stations & Airbnb Patios
One of the best things about a portable sink is how many ways you can use it. Hosting a party? Pop it next to the drinks station so guests can rinse glasses or wash hands before dinner. Running an Airbnb or tiny house rental? Add one to your patio or balcony for a low-maintenance, high-impact feature.
It’s also great for gardening setups. You can use the tub to rinse off freshly picked herbs, tools, or even muddy hands. With the footprint of a hand basin, but enough depth to soak items or store water, it bridges the gap between utility and style.

What to Know Before You Buy a Portable Sink
Our portable sinks are best used as insertable or standalone units. That means they’ll sit inside a larger benchtop cutout or on top of a surface. No plumbing? No problem, just fill them manually and empty the tub as needed. If you’re after something plumbed, you may want to look into our full range of kitchen sinks.
