What should you consider when installing a summer kitchen?
based on natural wood
The gazebo and room can be assembled from a frame made of wood, and then covered with a pitched roof. The type of roof can be any, and the frame can be sheathed with wooden beams.
In dachas or country gardens, many people call a summer kitchen with a stove a barbecue area. Such a structure must be constructed taking into account all safety rules, since all dishes will be cooked on wood and coals. The barbecue is one of the key attributes of a summer country kitchen. It is advisable to equip it with an exhaust pipe or ventilation system.
If we are talking about a closed room, then the hood must be a source of forced air circulation. The construction of a barbecue area must begin with the construction of a foundation. Next he builds a wall and the required number of columns, which will be the basis for the future roof.
The floor is most often made on the basis of a concrete screed, then it is laid out with tiles. Lighting fixtures for the kitchen should be placed under the roof, having previously covered it with clapboard on the inside. You can also use plastic-based building materials during construction. But in such cases, the surfaces must be treated with fire-resistant material to protect the structure from fires.
A canopy placed over the room can be made of wood or other, more durable materials. The terrace can be equipped with shutters; you can also make a removable partition from materials such as:
- tree;
- glass;
- plastic.
If you are planning to install a wood-burning stove for cooking, be sure to consider a place to store firewood. You will also need to equip a special area for hot pans and pots; do not forget to treat all work surfaces in the kitchen with special fire-resistant agents.
A summer kitchen with a barbecue for preparing kebabs, homemade pilaf or other dishes is the dream of almost every summer resident. Naturally, not everyone can afford to build it using the latest technology and design. Therefore, try to do at least something similar with your own hands, especially since it is not as difficult and expensive as it might seem at first.
Sometimes we are not talking about building a full-fledged open or closed summer kitchen, but only about a place for cooking over an open fire. In this case, it would be logical to use a portable grill or build a stationary fireplace, which will always be at hand, but will not spoil the appearance of a beautiful lawn. Such a fire pit can be made with your own hands, using improvised means, for example, a tractor wheel.
Sequencing:
- Weld a pipe to the metal part of the old wheel rim. It is needed to hold a bar with a crossbar on which you can hang a cauldron, or attach a barbecue to it.
- Bury the disk into the ground at the same level with the ground. The rim from the tractor disk will serve as a fence for the fire pit and a support for the wooden lid that will cover the fireplace when not in use.
- Make a wooden cover from boards and slats in such a way that the boards in the finished product rest on the upper edge of the rim, and the slats are recessed to the size of the inner diameter of the disk.
The advantages of such a hearth are that it is used when there is a need for cooking or a desire to admire an open fire, while it is practically invisible during normal times and does not interfere with lawn care.
How to build a place to relax?
There can be a lot of options for building the gazebo itself. The most budget-friendly and simplest option would be to make a regular canopy or install a fabric gazebo. This is not the most sophisticated option, but such a structure is very cheap and performs its function perfectly. For a dacha this is the best solution.
If the master has the opportunity and desire to make something more durable and beautiful, then he will have to work hard. The gazebo can be built from wood and then decorated with carved elements. It will look very nice, but there are a couple of significant disadvantages. First of all, it is very difficult and time consuming. But you will also have to use expensive and very durable wood that can withstand difficult weather conditions, since a wooden gazebo is considered a permanent structure and cannot be hidden in a utility room for the winter. The wood must be durable, but additionally it must be treated with special materials, which will preserve the structure for many years.
The most durable option for building a gazebo would be to build a lightweight structure made of stone. This will require special skills in working with capital construction projects and investing money. But such a gazebo will last a long time. Moreover, if you complement the stone frame with elegant metal inserts, the gazebo will become a real decoration of the local area and a wonderful place to gather guests in the warm season.
The big advantage of a stone gazebo is that here you can not just put a small barbecue, but build a large oven. This could be a traditional stove, in which you can bake chicken and cook soup, or an exotic tandoor with the ability to prepare more interesting dishes. The latter option is very popular among summer residents these days.
Those who have ever tried food cooked in a tandoor know how delicious it is. Anyone can cook meat products or baked goods in such an oven if they try and build such a cooking device with their own hands.
How to arrange it?
After choosing a project and building a gazebo, the most interesting part begins: its arrangement. First, you should think about the style of the interior. Since the gazebo is a place of relaxation, there is no need to load it with strict details and things reminiscent of work. A computer would be completely out of place in this place. If there is a need for media to create comfort, which is quite natural for a modern person, then preference should be given to a compact stereo system or home theater that will not take up much space.
The choice of finish is important. The best option is to decorate the space in eco style. It involves unity with nature and the absence of artificial materials. Ecostyle is fully capable of complementing this feeling; decorating it with your own hands from scrap materials will not be difficult.
It is necessary to pay attention to lighting. It should not be too bright so as not to strain your eyesight, but it should also allow you to see all the objects in the room
The main light source is a large chandelier. It should be placed above the table, and additional lighting elements in the form of an LED strip or spotlights should be placed around the perimeter.
Each group of lighting fixtures must be turned on separately so that, if necessary, the lighting intensity can be adjusted without problems. A large chandelier can be replaced with several small lamps made in the same style. They will look organic if hung in a row above a rectangular or oval elongated table.
Textiles are another important component of arranging a gazebo with a barbecue. Since freshly prepared food is supposed to be consumed in this room, a tablecloth is indispensable. Make sure it matches the style of the interior. White is a universal color, but in this case it is better to replace white tablecloths with beige or greenish ones, since the presence of a nearby source of flame and, accordingly, smoke can irrevocably deprive table textiles of their whiteness in one go. Darker and brighter options in this case are the best choice.
Towels are also required in a gazebo with a barbecue. It’s good if they completely match the color of the tablecloth. But, of course, the texture of the material used to make them should be different. The tablecloth can be made of smooth cotton or viscose, the towel in this case can be terry or waffle
Be sure to pay attention to the availability of napkins. In a gazebo it would be quite appropriate if they were made of paper
Another important aspect is decor. Flowers in clay vases, paintings on a food theme, light curtains on the windows or doorway will stylishly complement the atmosphere, add comfort and special charm to this room, setting you up for a comfortable stay and uplifting your mood. However, do not overdo it with the number of accessories: if there are a lot of them, it can overload the interior composition. It is also necessary to take care of safety.

What furniture to choose for a gazebo/terrace
For open and semi-open gazebos, they buy furniture from the most moisture-resistant species: aspen, cedar, spruce, pine. When making furniture yourself, you will need boards, beams, suvels and burls. Natural wood is carefully processed and shaped to suit the interior. It is better to assemble tables and sofas from solid wood. A large shelving unit and folding/assembled furniture will not be superfluous on the veranda. The key difference between furniture for closed terraces is expressed in a greater number of decorative details. Furniture elements are made more massive: tables, sofas, etc. Closed gazebos are equipped with wall cabinets, a dining table, and side tables. The setting should be implemented in some style. Minimalism is more suitable for other materials except wood. Together with a wooden bathhouse, it is better to use furniture in a classic or hunting style.
Review of heroes
Our whole big family
really likes to watch your programs “Housing Question” and “Dacha Answer”. After each viewing and release, we discuss, share impressions... dream. We must have been cultivating the idea of writing an application for several years! And when they decided to do this, the initiator, of course, was Ira’s mother. She is our biggest “fan” of “Dachny Otvet”.
Having such a beautiful corner available
on the shore of the lake, we could not come to a common opinion about what, how and where it should be here. A lot of friends come to us, there is a lot of land, and how to arrange all our meetings and our vacation sometimes became a difficult task for us, since in the end everyone flocked to the house and the territory itself remained little used.
Tired of arguing, we decided to try fate and luck
– we have sent an application to participate in the program. We didn't wait long. And lo and behold, we were invited to the casting!!! And again the wait... a little over a year.
And when they told us
It was hard to believe that we were chosen. And only the meeting with the designers gave us faith. Although this meeting took place at the end of the season, and we had another six months to reflect on what our dream site should be like.
Meet the Dacha Otvet team
happened with special warmth and friendliness. It’s not always possible to immediately meet a group of good people in one place with whom it would be pleasant to communicate. And this is said absolutely honestly. And besides, we fell in love with our designers even when viewing their first project. And when they confirmed to us that Katya and Denis (the Klyukva art project) would implement their ideas on our site, we were very happy. And what’s most interesting is that we completely trusted them. Yes, we were ready for absolutely anything and nothing scared us!
It was easy to part with the dacha for the duration of the project
, since the professionalism of the designers was not questioned.
And then it came
still an agonizing wait. We tried to think less about what awaits us. And I would say that to some extent this is a test of patience, strength, and faith. I even had to resort to drastic measures, namely: to go to the sea in Sochi! And when we were informed about the final date of the project, the days began to count! By the way, the design project was completed in almost a month and a half.
And then it came
– day “X”.
We are very pleased
. Now there is a place where we can gather all our friends under one so-called “green roof” and hold all our meetings, get-togethers and games. After all, here we can cook, and communicate, and watch the sunset, and watch the sunrise on the pier, and relax! Everything is convenient, new and unusual!
There is such a concept
– sometimes it’s very useful to take and change your life dramatically in some direction! I think this project also made changes in our lives and in our daily routine.
We would like to add that "Dacha Answer"
Always welcome guests at our dacha!!! Denis and Katya, we are always glad to see you here! “Cranberry” – you are the best!!!!!

First impressions? Monumentality! Another world! Almost complete transformation! Ease! Airiness! Relax! The impression is that when you take a step, you find yourself in another dimension.
Summer kitchens: photos and projects
A properly thought out and reproduced summer kitchen project, including a gazebo, grill or barbecue, as well as a connected water supply, will allow you to easily prepare your favorite dishes and not have to run back and forth while cooking. So, some kitchen facilities on the street can be equipped:
- niches for dishes;
- tool boxes;
- countertops and other parts of the kitchen.
On the Internet you can easily find photos of projects and ready-made summer kitchens for cottages and country houses. Many of them are equipped with everything you need. The installation and finishing of such a structure can be ordered from a construction company or done independently. In this case, you need to ensure compliance with all the rules for the construction of such an object as a summer kitchen.
Elements of a summer kitchen
gas or electric stove
If you are building a room for preparing dishes exclusively in warm weather, then most likely one wall will either be missing or be glazed. There are projects of summer transformable kitchens, when they can be rebuilt for the winter; there are also options with the construction of an additional room for a barbecue or barbecue, which is usually done using a brick tub. Sometimes barbecues are made of metal.
The kitchen also includes the second part of the room - the dining room. Here you can also place a closed fire pit, which can also be used to heat the room in winter. It is worth noting that if you install a high-quality kitchen, you can cook in it all year round, and not just in the summer.
Wooden structures
Wood is the material that carries the positive energy of warmth and comfort, so it is ideal for creating a gazebo.
Such structures have many advantages, thanks to which wood is used in most construction-related work:
- Availability of material and ease of assembly. Anyone can build their own gazebo without the help of professionals.
- The ability to fit such a building into any landscape. It doesn’t even depend on what material the house itself is made of. Of course, a wooden gazebo will be ideally combined with a wooden house, but it is possible to emphasize the unity of style not with complete finishing, but only with some of its individual elements.
- Environmentally friendly material. Wood does not emit substances hazardous to humans and the environment, but, on the contrary, has a beneficial effect on health and its emotional component.
But, as in any case, it is never without its drawbacks:
- Before installation, the wood must be treated with antiseptics so that in the future it is not subject to rotting and attack by insect pests.
- The material is not resistant to fire, so it must be treated with a fire retardant before construction. And when placing a barbecue inside, fire safety regulations must be observed.
Wood also has varieties, so there are quite a lot of projects for reproducing closed gazebos with barbecues or barbecues:
- A gazebo made of timber with a barbecue. This design resembles a fairy-tale tower, and with successful finishing it can become the main accent of a country landscape. The timber does not need additional processing before and after installation if it is glued, so the installation of this building will not cause any particular difficulties. In addition, the construction is carried out according to the type of construction kit, so even a novice master can handle it.
- Gazebo with barbecue in the middle. Since the barbecue is located far from the walls, this ensures that sparks and coals do not get on them, as a result of which the safety of the structure increases. In addition, thanks to the arrangement of benches around the fireplace, a feeling of being out in nature is created. Such a relaxation area with a barbecue is more than comfortable for a pleasant stay; you can have casual conversations and relax in it for long hours.
- Solid insulated gazebo. A project like the one in the photo resembles a real house, only small in size. Sometimes they make a gazebo with several rooms inside, which smoothly merge into each other. If the gazebo is equipped with large windows, then nothing will interfere with the process of unity with nature. Thanks to the insulation, such a structure can also be used in the winter months.
Material
The choice of building materials for an enclosed summer kitchen is identical to the choice for the construction of residential buildings. We will use brick, foam blocks, stone, frames, timber, logs, glass. For durability, a foundation is poured under the building. To be economical, kitchens are also built on a regular concrete screed.
An open kitchen can be built without a foundation at all. The main thing in it is the supporting beam base. The weight retention of the roof depends on its strength. It is easier and faster to arrange an open area using the same materials that are used for a closed one. The appearance and decor depend only on the desires and imagination of the summer resident.
Lighting and decorative lighting for baths and gazebos
There should be no open shades inside the washing room or steam room. There are no special restrictions regarding the size and shape of lighting fixtures, but you should refrain from placing chandeliers. Small built-in spotlights received favorable characteristics. They are mounted in the wall, on the ceiling, between panels, straight or at an angle. True, this is only decorative lighting. Sometimes this is enough, but if rich lighting is needed, then it is better to add several linear lamps on the wall and ceiling. LED strips and fiber optic threads, in turn, will provide high-quality lighting to the gazebo. They are also used inside: in the living room and sink. On holidays, the terrace of the bathhouse building is decorated with illumination. You should avoid using energy-saving light bulbs that emit mercury vapor. The gazebo and interior of the bathhouse are sometimes decorated with varieties of RGB.
BBQ oven design
It is very important to competently develop a furnace design taking into account all individual requirements. At this stage, it is necessary to take into account all the little things to make using the stove as convenient as possible.
You can draw a brick barbecue project yourself, using samples from thematic sites on the Internet as a basis.
In addition, it is possible to download various drawings of a brick barbecue from the network.
Large barbecue complexes have good functionality. They allow you to cook a large number of different dishes at the same time. There are corner and front placement options.

The barbecue area can be supplemented with a countertop, smokehouse, sink, cabinets and even a fireplace.
Equipment for very complex barbecue projects requires the involvement of specialists. It is not difficult to build a simple brick barbecue oven with your own hands without any work experience.
Options for summer kitchen projects with barbecue
The layout and design of summer kitchens have various options. Some owners like comfortable terraces, while others like to huddle in small gazebos. There are cases when large structures with several functional extensions are built.
Kitchen with terrace and sauna
Small plots of land together with a house and a garage may additionally include a couple of combined buildings - a kitchen with a closed option and a bathhouse with a terrace. A layout such as a summer kitchen with an oven and barbecue makes it possible to create a comfortable and multifunctional place for leisure.
Square kitchen option
For summer cottages, summer kitchens with a simple design and construction plan are usually chosen. For example, it is worth focusing on the option with the simplest distribution of space. When planning, it is better to use three-sided glazing.
Kitchen gazebo
The simplest model for arranging a summer space with a barbecue is the construction of a wooden gazebo, which should be equipped with a stove and chimney. A variety of gazebo options, equipped with a barbecue and a summer kitchen, will ideally fit into the overall design of any landscape. This example represents a hexagon-shaped structure constructed from wood and stone materials.
If you add a summer kitchen with a barbecue oven to the exterior of a country house or cottage, you can easily turn an ordinary area into a zone of comfort and coziness, where you can spend family leisure time or receive guests. Such equipment not only visually increases the space of the household, but also facilitates the very procedure of preparing food. In addition to convenience, a properly designed building will be a wonderful decoration for any site, giving it an attractive and pleasant look.
Gazebos with a radius (arched) polycarbonate roof
Arched structures are made on a frame made of profiles or pipes. For arches with a large radius, reinforcing struts, supports, and transverse stiffeners are used. One option is to weld profile pipes bent with a pipe bender to the frame. When bending a profile, the maximum radius of cellular polycarbonate of a certain thickness is taken into account; for example, for 10 mm it is 1.75 m.
Another option is a gazebo with a polycarbonate roof, which does not require a foundation, the basis of which is the frame itself.
- It is convenient to order a metal frame of this design at a metal warehouse, but you can assemble it yourself according to the drawing.
- For the roof of such a gazebo, one sheet of structured polycarbonate, 8-10 mm thick, is enough.
- Assembly begins from the bottom up: first the base is assembled, then the remaining elements are bolted to it. For strength, it is advisable to use welding or a combination of methods. If the polycarbonate sheets are larger, we cut them according to the dimensions of the drawing. Self-tapping screws with thermal washers are used for fixation.
What are summer kitchens?
The completed summer kitchen can be a minimalist structure in shape, size, and materials used. But it can also be a work of design art in combination with the style of a residential building on a summer cottage. Let's talk about the two main types of summer kitchens.
Closed kitchen
The floor, walls, windows, roof are the components of a closed structure. Materials for building a summer kitchen in a country house can be brick, timber, logs - everything that is applicable to ordinary houses.
Indoor buildings with a barbecue or barbecue can be used in all weather conditions, and for the winter period they can be equipped with a heating system.
In this case, the interior decoration and technical solution are chosen without restrictions. The closedness of the premises will ensure their safety from temperature changes and precipitation. Photos and projects of similar buildings are offered below.
The choice is yours
For those who do not plan to make special efforts when arranging a barbecue area, the best option would be to buy a ready-made barbecue. Many barbecue models are presented in stores. Buying them won't be difficult.
Those who have decided to approach the development of this zone thoroughly should turn their attention to specialized construction sites.
A variety of master classes will show a large number of photographs of barbecues with your own hands, and will also provide detailed videos with the step-by-step manufacturing process.
All that remains is to choose the appropriate option and acquire the necessary material.
Preparation for construction
Before you move on to building a gazebo with a grill, stove or barbecue, you need to devote a lot of time to preparatory work, which includes:
1. Selection of a place for construction. Try to make a choice so that your gazebo is not too far from the house, but so that the cooking smoke does not enter the home.
2. Design of a place to relax. Take into account the landscape features of your site, wind directions, the approximate number of people at events, which stove option you have chosen, as well as other additional details that will interest you during the planning process.
3. When the project is ready, based on it, you can calculate the required amount of materials for construction and determine which tool will be used. This will allow you not to be distracted during the construction process.
Do-it-yourself closed gazebo with barbecue, barbecue, oven: material calculation, photo, video
On the Internet, I came across Nikolai Tarasov’s “Gazebo with a stove complex” from the ForumHouse . Nikolay shares his experience of building a gazebo with a barbecue, barbecue and stove, talks about the problems he encountered and gives clear figures.
In my opinion, the review is very revealing and useful for those people who are interested in building such a structure.
At the end of the article there will be a video from which all the photos and comments for this review are taken.
Gazebo project
The initial idea was to build an open gazebo from rounded logs with a stove complex and a dining area on a summer cottage.
Subsequently, it was glazed, since the wind was constantly blowing in the open area, and the owners felt discomfort inside. Then electricity was installed: lighting and several sockets were installed.
The result was a rather impressive, but very beautiful building.
Technical characteristics of the gazebo and stove complex
To understand how to properly build such a gazebo, I suggest familiarizing yourself with the technical characteristics of the resulting building. Comments on construction will be provided along the way.
