Construction of the foundation of a summer kitchen
The design proposed for repetition has an impressive weight, so arranging a serious foundation for it is necessary. To build a slab foundation, you will need concrete reinforced with metal mesh.
Materials and tools
Our building is not so responsible as to use high-quality and expensive building mixtures, so concrete grade M200 will be sufficient. To prepare it, you can use the following ratio of building materials:
- 1 hour - cement grade 400;
- 4 hours - crushed stone or coarse gravel (fraction 30 mm);
- 2 hours - coarse river sand.
Make sure that the content of impurities in the sand does not exceed 10 parts of its volume, and in crushed stone - a value of 2%.
Using the proposed proportion will require the following consumption of building materials per 1 cubic meter. m. concrete:
- Cement M400 - 325 kg;
- Sand - 1.3 t
- Crushed stone - 1.3 t
- Water - 205 l.
To strengthen the foundation, you will need a mesh frame made of A3 class reinforcement. When starting to mark the base, add 20 cm on each side to the dimensions of the future oven. For a structure with dimensions of 1.4×1 m, a foundation measuring 1.6×1.2 m is laid out.

When starting to pour the base, prepare:
- narrow, round and square tampers;
- scraper, smoother, grater;
- probe for removing air bubbles from the mixture;
- shovels for soil and mortar;
- trowel;
- board for finishing the surface.
How to lay concrete correctly
In order to build a solid foundation, it is imperative to take into account soil features on the site. Water-saturated, swelling, peaty and other specific soils will require additional strengthening before arranging the base for the furnace.
To mark out foundation, just drive pegs into the ground, check the diagonals and pull the cord. In this case, the dimensions of the pit for the slab foundation must correspond to its size (in our case, 1.6 × 1.2 m). Since the building is intended to be used outdoors, the soil under its foundation will freeze and thaw in winter. Therefore, in some cases a sand cushion up to 1 m thick may be required.
It will be correct when arranging sand cushion Protect the bottom and walls of the pit geotextiles, which will prevent erosion of the foundation by groundwater. Tamping is performed in several stages. To do this, add sand every 10-15 cm, which, after compaction, is additionally shed with water.
For waterproofing purposes and to avoid concrete leakage into the sand, two layers are laid on the prepared area roofing felt. Further along the contour of the pit, every 0.5 m, racks for the formwork boards are driven in and secured with slopes. The formwork is secured and moistened.
Before pouring concrete, installation is carried out fittings, for which a mesh is installed at a height of 20-30 mm from the bottom over the entire surface of the foundation. Then, using vertical jumpers, a second reinforcing belt is installed at a distance of at least 20 mm from the upper plane of the foundation slab.
They try to pour and compact concrete at one time. In this case, the solidity of the structure and a certain period of concrete hardening will be ensured.
A prerequisite for high-quality concreting is maintaining optimal humidity, so the foundation is covered tarpaulin. After 3 - 4 hours after pouring, the surface of the furnace base is covered with sawdust or sand. The concrete is moistened with water for 1 - 2 weeks until the foundation sets completely.
The formwork is removed only when the corners of the structure acquire sufficient strength. Construction of the furnace can begin no earlier than two weeks after concrete work.
Construction of Gudkov's barbecue oven
To build the furnace body you will need fireclay fireproof or red clay brick in the amount of 465 pcs. Fireproof material is preferred because it can easily withstand elevated temperatures. If you decide to use ordinary ceramic bricks, then make sure that the material is well-fired. Cracks, voids, and insufficient firing are unacceptable. Sand-lime brick is also not suitable for barbecue ovens.
In addition, you need to prepare the following oven parts:
- hob with one burner measuring 500×420 mm;
- grill 500×420 mm for barbecue;
- sheet metal 600×500 mm;
- soot removal door 140×140 mm;
- ash door 140×270 mm;
- loading door 270×250 mm;
- grate bars 300×200 mm;
- metal corner with shelf length 32 mm, thickness 4 mm - 4 pcs. 500 mm each and 6 pcs. 600 mm each;
- steel wire OE2mm - 10 m;
- asbestos cord OE5 mm - 10 m.
Masonry mortar
When building a furnace, bricks are laid on a clay-sand mortar, using plastic varieties of red clay and coarse sand sifted on a sieve. The ratio of materials is chosen depending on the fat content of the clay:
- add 1 teaspoon of fatty clay - 2.5 teaspoons of sand;
- for 1 part of medium clay - 1.5 parts of sand;
- for lean clay - ratio 1:1.
The degree of fat content of clay can be determined by the sand content in it:
- from 2 to 4% - oily;
- up to 15% - average;
- from 30% - skinny.
To prepare the working mixture, the clay is soaked for 1 day, and then, gradually stirring, sand is added to it. To prepare the solution, you can also use special high-temperature factory-made mixtures, which can be found in the retail chain.
Furnace body
It is best to start work on the furnace by constructing a temporary canopy, under which you can work in any weather. To avoid mistakes during the installation process, the body of the building can be laid out dry.
Construction begins by moistening the brick. Red ceramic bricks are immersed in water for one or two minutes, and fireclay bricks are rinsed to remove dust.
Brick laying is carried out with ligation of seams in half a brick, observing the thickness of the seams from 3 to 5 mm (smaller value for fire-resistant material). It is important that chips and cracks on the surface do not face the inside of the working chamber or chimney.
As installation progresses, you will need to install stove appliances. To ensure the reliability of the structure, wire is attached to the metal parts of the furnace and embedded in the masonry. Since metal and ceramics expand differently when heated, be sure to create a thermal gap of 3 - 5 mm, which is subsequently eliminated using an asbestos cord.
Orders
After the level of the combustion chamber is completely raised, a grill or metal grill is installed on the corners burner stove.
Metal corners are also used as support when arranging the vault. The smoke channel can have dimensions of 270×140 mm, 270×270 mm and 400×140 mm. To reduce the formation of soot on the internal walls of the chimney, they are plastered.
To finish a barbecue oven, plastering, tile or tile gluing, as well as simple jointing are used.
After the summer kitchen with barbecue is built, do not rush to test the stove at full capacity. To avoid cracks, the stove should be heated with small portions of firewood for a week.
DIY summer kitchen in the country. Step by step instructions
The proposed design of a summer kitchen combines a hob, a small Russian oven, as well as work surfaces that provide additional convenience during the cooking process. Installed under a canopy made of boards or polycarbonate, the open kitchen will take on all the responsibilities for preparing all kinds of dishes and snacks in the summer.

Basic materials needed for construction:
- cinder blocks;
- red or fireclay brick;
- finishing materials;
- formwork
Having chosen a place for future construction, they begin to draw up drawings and calculate the amount of materials. The step-by-step instructions presented below will help systematize all stages of constructing a summer kitchen.

Foundation construction
Having marked the hole for the foundation using pegs and a cord, they begin excavation work. Having reached a pit depth of 35 cm, its walls are strengthened with formwork boards, and the bottom is covered with a 5-centimeter layer of gravel and compacted.
Equipping double-layer armored belt made of metal mesh and vertical steel rods. Make sure that the reinforcement does not touch the boards, and after pouring it is protected by a layer of concrete at least 20 mm thick.
After pouring, the concrete is compactedvibrating screed, cover with film and leave for 2 weeks until completely set.

Hull masonry
Laying begins from the corner, constantly monitoring the geometry of the rows and corners using a level and plumb line.
To shift the rows by half a brick, the laying of the second row begins in a bandage.
After going through two rows, they set up a ash pit by mounting its door into the front wall. A grate is installed in the ceiling of the working space above the ash pit, and the combustion chamber door is installed one row higher. The combustion zone itself is made low, one or two rows of bricks above the loading hole, otherwise the flame will not reach the stove with the burners.
The furnace body is built to a height convenient for further operation.

After masonry is completed, the seams are filled with mortar and smoothed with a trowel.
Tabletop installation
The arrangement of the working surface begins with laying supporting rods from steel reinforcement. Formwork is installed on them and filled with concrete.
After the concrete has set, the tabletop is finished with flagstone, carefully leveling the individual fragments and the cracks between them. On final stage The walls of the summer kitchen are plastered or lined with heat-resistant finishing materials.
Choosing a stove for a summer kitchen
Of course, in the summer kitchen you can install an electric stove or a gas stove powered by a liquefied gas cylinder, however, truly delicious dishes made in a real wood-burning oven. In the thoroughly heated space of a miniature Russian stove, you can cook hot dishes in cauldrons or bake amazingly aromatic pies and pizza.
Many articles have been written about how to install a stove in a summer kitchen. Our design uses the simplest design of a Russian stove. For its construction, a semicircular vault is made with a side channel, which leads into a common chimney.

The external lining of the wood-burning hearth can be made of sandstone, carefully adjusting the finishing fragments to each other. After this, the seams are filled with mortar and smoothed using a spatula and grater.
Summer kitchen roof
After the stove and work area are equipped, they begin to arrange the roof of the summer kitchen. To maintain the style in which the proposed structure with a wood-burning stove is built, it is best to make a gable roof.

To do this, a frame made of wooden beams measuring at least 100x100 mm is installed around the workspace, after which a floor is made of wooden boards, metal tiles or other materials.
Design and finishing options for a summer kitchen
When arranging a summer kitchen, you want to get not only the functionality and convenience of an open work area, but also a beautiful structure, designed in the style of other buildings and structures of the summer cottage. The kitchen, located near the house, can be placed on a large veranda adjacent to one of the entrances. A well-equipped barbecue area will eliminate the need to install a portable grill. Planted around the summer kitchen ornamental plants and shrubs. If there is a need to shade structures, then use all kinds of arches and supports. A pergola installed near the summer kitchen will provide the necessary shade on hot days and create a secluded corner for leisurely conversations and gatherings with friends.

In the process of creating an optimal work area, the main thing is not to overdo it with decorative elements. It is important to understand that the main purpose of a summer kitchen is cooking, so if you want to cook on it every day, then you won’t be able to get by with just a barbecue. You will also have to install an electric, gas or wood stove. It will be difficult without other benefits of civilization, therefore work area complemented by a sink, all kinds of cabinets and shelves.
Summer kitchen, be it simple gazebo with a barbecue or a solid structure with a stove and communications - this is an essential building on any site. After all, country life is unimaginable without barbecues, outdoor gatherings, and seasonal food preservation. In this material, we presented 11 tips, 70 photo ideas and several videos that will help you create your ideal summer kitchen.
What types of summer kitchens are there?
They can be divided into three types:
- Outdoor (for example, barbecue gazebo, terrace or patio)– simple frame building without insulation, often without walls (fully/partially) or even a roof. Essentially, an open summer kitchen is a canopy or gazebo with a barbecue/stove and a dining area that can only be used in summer. It is good because it is comfortable to cook, eat, and communicate with guests on fine summer days. An open kitchen is easier, faster and more economical to build than a closed one. In winter, a summer building with a canopy can be used as a warehouse for storing household goods. The disadvantages of an open kitchen include the limited period of use of the structure, as well as the lack of protection of furniture, appliances and kitchen inhabitants from insects, rain, wind and sun. For the winter, all furniture and equipment will have to be stored in a dry room.

- Closed (for example, grill house or veranda)– a permanent covered building/outbuilding with insulation and glazing, sometimes even heated all year round. In fact, this is a real house, consisting of a kitchen and a dining room. A closed summer kitchen is good because you can cook and eat in it even in bad weather with rain and winds. Thanks to the walls and roof, such a house can be equipped with a full-fledged kitchen with a refrigerator, microwave, gas /electric stove , dishwasher, TV and other equipment. True, on warm days, cooking in a closed kitchen will be just as hot as in the main house. Also keep in mind that its construction will cost you more than an open-air structure.
- Combined– this type of building combines open and indoor space under one roof. Also included in this category is a summer kitchen combined with a bathhouse. This kitchen is good for everyone and has only a couple of disadvantages - doubly complex design and an increased budget.
Now let's look at the characteristics of free-standing and attached kitchens:
- Freestanding- are good because they allow you to place the fireplace away from the house so that odors, smoke and noise do not penetrate the house. Building a separate summer kitchen makes sense if you have enough space on your site, if it has, say, beautiful garden or a pond if you want to spruce up the area with a nice new structure.
- Adjacent to the house– a terrace or veranda can become an excellent summer kitchen, because it is much easier and cheaper to build (one wall has already been erected) or refurbish, and it is very convenient to move between the house and the outbuilding. True, the disadvantage of a summer kitchen on the veranda/terrace is that smoke, heat, smell and fumes from the stove will enter the living spaces, and part of the kitchen will remain a walk-through area.
11 tips for building, arranging and designing a summer kitchen
No matter how thoughtful and beautiful your summer kitchen is, its unfortunate location on the site can complicate both construction and further exploitation. Therefore, the location is the first thing you should think carefully about.
- From a practical point of view, it is more convenient when the summer kitchen is located close to the house. This makes it easier for the inhabitants of the dacha to move between objects, and engineering communications cheaper, faster and easier. However, from an aesthetic point of view, a place near the “attractions” of the site that you can admire (for example, near a pond or garden) is better suited. The following factors are also bonuses: protection from the wind, privacy from the eyes of neighbors and proximity to trees that can shade the building and keep it cool on hot days.
Summer kitchen at the dacha by the pond
- Inappropriate places for a summer kitchen: near the road, garage, toilet, cesspools/compost pits, chicken coop and other places where your rest may be interfered with unpleasant odors, noise, exhaust gases, etc.
Tip 2. Grill, barbecue, oven or oven complex? Solve this issue before developing/selecting a summer kitchen project
- If the stove is the heart of the city kitchen, then the grill, barbecue or oven can be called the heart of the country kitchen. Before you start designing, think about what type of fireplace you need: a grill, barbecue, oven or even a stove complex? Should the grill be stationary or portable? Coal or gas? With or without chimney? What size and location will the fire source be located? A lot depends on your choice - from the type of foundation to the shape of the roof. So, for example, to build a stove, you will have to take care not only of the foundation, chimney and cladding, but also provide a place in the project for storing firewood.
Understand the features different types the street hearth will help you.

Tip 3. Do you want to build a summer kitchen with your own hands quickly and on a budget? Build an open gazebo made of wood, with a light roof, without main walls and a stove
In this case, instead of monolithic or pile- strip foundation you can get by with a columnar foundation. The building itself will consist of 4 (or more) supports and a single-/double-slope roof with a light roof, for example, polycarbonate. This is very simple design, which you can actually build with your own hands in just a couple of days and with a minimal budget.
The following selection of photos shows design options for simple summer kitchens.
A simple summer kitchen at a dacha in the Moscow region
The easiest way to build a summer kitchen with your own hands is to use wood. True, larch or teak should be preferred over pine, as they are stronger and, moreover, age beautifully
Simple summer kitchen made of timber with a pitched roof
However, there is a way to make a summer kitchen with your own hands even faster and cheaper. Build a paver area, install one or two large garden umbrellas, arrange furniture, set up a sink and portable grill and start cooking!
On the one hand, a cellar in a summer kitchen is very useful, because it is as convenient to store food supplies in it as in a refrigerator. On the other hand, its creation significantly increases the cost and complexity of construction. Especially when it comes to open building, because then the cellar will have to be insulated and protected from leaks. Even in the main house you can do without a cellar and basement, let alone a summer kitchen.
Tip 5. The summer kitchen, the facade of the house and the landscape should be designed in a single manner
When choosing or developing a summer kitchen project, thinking through options for its finishing, keep in mind that it should be combined with the facade of the house and other buildings on the site. This way you will create a real dacha complex and achieve a feeling of orderliness. It doesn't have to be a 100% match color scheme, decoration, architecture and style, but objects must have something in common. The photo below shows an example of a modern summer kitchen on the terrace wooden house from timber.
- The closer the summer kitchen is to the house, the more similar both buildings should be.
- If there is an object on the site that stands out from the “overall picture,” say, a hastily built bathhouse, then the design of the summer kitchen can be planned in such a way that it combines the features of both the bathhouse and the house. This way, some of the chaotic nature of the development will be corrected.
In an open kitchen, the floor can be covered with:
- A wooden board coated with oil or wax for exterior use (varnish is worse, as over time it will begin to crack and require re-coating).
Outdoor kitchen in the country with a floor made of larch deck boards coated with matte azure based on alkyd resins
- Terrace board (made of wood-polymer composite).
- Stone or special street tiles. True, such a floor requires a strong foundation and a large budget.
- By the way, we recommend avoiding too dark a floor, as crumbs, dirt and puddles of water will be especially noticeable on it.
- If the floor of the open kitchen has a slight slope (1-2 cm), rainwater will drain on its own.
Tip 7. Follow the “working triangle” rule when planning your kitchen
In arranging kitchens, there is a so-called rule. “work triangle”, which means that three work areas (sink, stove and refrigerator) should be in reasonable proximity to each other, forming a triangle. Ideally it should be equilateral. Thanks to this layout of zones, the kitchen is as convenient as possible.
- In a summer kitchen, this rule is not always applicable in its pure form, because it can be too small , narrow, elongated, irregular in shape, instead of a stove, it most often uses a stove, grill or barbecue, and there may not be a refrigerator at all. However, try to get as close to the ideal as possible and do not line up your work areas in one line.
So, for example, if in your summer kitchen the source of fire is a barbecue and it is moved outside, then the sink and food preparation area should be installed as close to the exit as possible.
- If the kitchen is small, then you can build the kitchen in an L-shape. For a narrow kitchen (for example, on a veranda), a two-row layout may be suitable. IN square shaped kitchen The U-shaped layout will fit most well.
If only a single-row layout is possible in your summer kitchen, then a compact mobile island/peninsula will help make it more convenient.
Tip 8. The dining area should be at least 2 m from the grill/stove
Ideally the distance between dining table and the barbecue/stove/grill should be approximately 3 m. In this case, smoke, heat and odors will not disturb vacationers, and wood chips, ashes and sparks will not spoil the appearance of the dining area.
Tip 9: Use furniture that can withstand outdoor conditions
The kitchen set and dining furniture in the summer kitchen must withstand high humidity and temperature changes, so luxurious wooden furniture, furniture made of laminated chipboard/MDF, as well as furniture upholstered in fabric or leather should be abandoned.
But the following options are suitable for a summer kitchen:
- Veneered MDF furniture;
- Wooden garden furniture(folding structures are especially well suited, which can be easily moved to the pantry at the end of the summer season);
- Wrought iron outdoor furniture;
- Furniture from stainless steel(if you don't want to clean it up) kitchen set on winter period, choose stainless steel furniture);
- Wicker furniture made of natural wicker, rattan or plastic;
- Plastic furniture (eg, polycarbonate).
The photo below shows an example of the design of a summer kitchen-terrace with an all-season stainless steel set.
In this selection of photos you can see ideas for furnishing a summer dining room.
Summer residents often forget to pay enough attention to the lighting of the summer kitchen. But it is with its help that you can create real coziness and comfort.
- Ideally, artificial light in the evening should be soft, uniform and at different levels. To do this, the room should be illuminated not with one chandelier, but with several lamps: floor/pendant lamps, wall sconces, point spots, suspensions, table lamps, floor lamps and/or garlands of light bulbs.
- With the help of light, you can divide the space into zones, such as the kitchen and dining room. This way, during evening meals, you will have the opportunity to hide the work area in the dark and illuminate only a beautiful table.
- To make it comfortable for you to cook in the evenings, install the lighting directly above the work area. If you limit yourself to a lamp installed behind it, your back will block the light while cooking.
- Metal, plastic, wooden and wicker lamps with additional protection from water. Ideally, these should be garden lamps.
- Around the summer kitchen and along the path you can install lanterns that run on solar batteries. They accumulate energy during the day and turn on automatically in the evening. True, they provide little light, and on cloudy days they don’t charge at all.
- With the help of hedges, pergolas or screens with climbing plants, you can make the summer kitchen more secluded and block the view of unsightly areas of the site.
- Decorative plantings, flower beds and bushes can mark the boundaries of zones, hide the foundation and simply decorate the summer kitchen and the general appearance of the area.
A comfortable holiday at the dacha cannot be complete without a summer kitchen. A building is ideal only after its main functions have been determined. This is a vacation with friends or family, or maybe canning food for the winter. How many people is the recreation area designed for? The projects are as follows: a separate building or an extension to the dacha. The financial side plays an important role in construction, as does individual imagination with golden hands. Summer kitchens in the photo:
It will be important to determine the type and type of heating: gas, stove, fireplace or electric; with water supply and sewerage.
Types of country summer kitchen in the fresh air
A variety of options for designing summer country kitchens can be divided into two main groups: closed and open. The choice of one group or another depends on the individual approach to recreation, climatic conditions. These will be short trips to the country or for a longer time.
Open kitchen
The feeling of space, freedom and unity with Mother Nature is achieved by the complete absence of any walls or partial. The location of the dacha in the southern zone with the appropriate climate allows the construction of an open-type kitchen overlooking the garden plot.
Kitchen - extension to the main house
A simple and reliable option is to attach an unheated summer kitchen to the main building. IN in this case the roof can be a simple canopy or other structure suitable for the time of year. Economical option for building a kitchen
In the spring and summer, an open kitchen in the fresh air is relevant. What could be better than breakfast or dinner outdoors? Relevance decreases in winter. Cooking is not very comfortable in cold weather.
Kitchen - veranda
A harmonious combination of a summer kitchen on the veranda of the house will add sophistication to the overall design of the cottage. Special attention for this type of structure is paid to the foundation. It must correspond to the depth of the foundation for the house. Otherwise in winter time the veranda will be separated from the main wall of the house. Next, install the wall frame, decor, cladding and covering the roof, preferably a pitched one.
Kitchen - gazebo
The foundation for the kitchen - gazebo - is suitable for a strip or columnar type. Installation of corner frame posts can be brick, wood or stone. An excellent option is to sew up one of the openings between the racks to accommodate kitchen utensils.
The decor of gazebos can be not only aesthetic, but also multifunctional. The design looks great textile curtains, wooden panels or climbing plants. Removable and sliding panels are great for outdoor recreation.
In the kitchen-gazebo it is possible to install a stove, fireplace, barbecue or barbecue, there will be no smoke.
Closed summer kitchens with walls and roof
Weather conditions with frequent rains, winds, low air temperatures, early frosts provide for the construction of indoor summer kitchens. This look is great for winter lovers country holiday. The kitchen can stand alone or be attached to the main wall of the house. This is a full-fledged small house with autonomous heating and everyone comfortable conditions carrying out everyday life. Often, utility rooms are attached to such kitchens, for example, for storing workpieces.
Block or brick buildings are used at any time of the year. Construction is also possible from plywood or lining. By combining building materials to simple project summer kitchen, it is possible to create some of the most interesting and original ideas.
Summer kitchen with built-in fireplace
A multifunctional element of a summer kitchen is a fireplace installation, which can be used as an oven or barbecue. Various options installations of kitchen fireplaces are shown in the photo below:
Summer kitchens with barbecue function
Open type summer kitchen with ample barbecue area. This great option for noisy and large companies.
Summer kitchens with barbecue grills
To prepare a classic barbecue, you need a special grill. To protect from any weather conditions, it is advisable to place the grill under the roof.
Choosing a convenient location for building a country summer kitchen
The comfort and process of building a country summer kitchen depends on the location. Some features need to be taken into account:
Availability of communications. Accessible location of water, gas, electricity, sewerage.
Distance from main roads. To exclude exhaust gases, machine noise and dust.
Fire safety. Sufficient distance from flammable buildings.
Availability of landscaping. Creating shade and coolness indoors with the help of trees.
Distance from the main building - the house.
Construction sequence
1. Preparation
First, you should decide on a project for building a country summer kitchen. Based on the type of materials chosen, the size and shape of the building, the type of main base - the foundation - is selected. The most suitable are columnar and strip.
Building with brick, block or other stone closed kitchen implies the choice of a strip foundation. Open kitchens or closed ones made of beams can be built on the basis of a columnar foundation. Cast from cement mortar or made from cinder blocks. Under a light canopy the best option The site will be concreted of the required size, reinforced with metal rods or mesh.
Earthworks; it is necessary to dig a foundation, the depth of which is calculated depending on the materials used. The rest of the construction site needs to be leveled.
Arrangement of the pillow. Before pouring concrete, the surface must be sprinkled with sand and spilled, but not washed away, with water.
Pouring the foundation, pillars or platform; When pouring concrete, it is necessary to make a frame of reinforcement, placing it evenly over the pouring area.
Floor arrangement; The floors can be left as earthen ones, but dampness, insects, and dirt are possible. It is better to lay wooden floors or fill the floors with concrete.
2. Construction of walls
The construction of walls depends on the chosen kitchen design. One way or another, it is necessary to install and secure the support pillars holding the canopy or roof. The food preparation wall can be made of any materials.
Working with artificial stone. Based on the purpose of the building, a single brick wall is erected. When used in winter, the walls need to be insulated.
Working with wood. Fastening between structural elements with metal corners or self-tapping screws. External cladding performed with siding or boards. Internal cladding - clapboard, tongue-and-groove board or plasterboard.
A flat pitched roof will be the most inexpensive and simple option. The gable roof option is more attractive. For year-round use, a thermal insulation pad made of basalt fiber foam or glass wool is required. To extend the life of the building, it is necessary to have a long canopy so that the walls do not absorb moisture from rain or snow.
Terrace board or ceramic tiles Perfect for flooring. The decking can be painted with any shade of paint or varnished. To protect from surrounding natural conditions, ceilings and walls can be coated with drying oil.
The interior decoration of a summer country kitchen comes from the general style of the entire country house design.
MDF panel finishing is economical and popular today. Affordable, durable and environmentally friendly pure material. Great for unheated summer kitchens. When heated, the material undergoes deformation. From budget materials– plasterboard, used for wallpaper, painting walls. It absorbs all excess moisture, which is its main disadvantage.
Inexpensive materials make for thin plastic boards or lining. Moisture resistant and high quality. Also used natural stone or a combination of several types of finishes.
Furniture in a country summer kitchen
There is no place without furniture in the kitchen. At a minimum must be present kitchen table, chairs, the number of which depends on the number of family members, a bedside table for cooking, racks for dishes.
1. Separation of the dining and cooking areas indoors. The relevance of the bar counter is not lost. You can delimit space using the correct supply of light, variations in the composition and color of the materials used.
2. The choice of furniture should be attributed to one design solution or lead to a competent combination. Preference should be given to non-stainable materials, warm and harmonious colors.
3. Regular use of an oven, grill or barbecue, electronic or gas burners for cooking. For safety reasons, a separate niche is made in the load-bearing wall.
5. Using decorative items to create cozy atmosphere premises. Various souvenir plates, fresh and artificial flowers, paintings, blankets for chairs.
A variety of ideas in the construction of a summer country kitchen, design, and design - a huge space for imagination and creativity.
In the warm season, especially during the conservation period, the presence of a summer kitchen greatly simplifies the cooking process and makes it more enjoyable. It is not necessary to hire specialists for construction - all stages can be completed independently. If you choose the right materials, a summer kitchen will not cost too much, which is of great importance for a budget-conscious owner.
Types of summer kitchens
Summer kitchens can have a closed or open design. Both types are widely used in country houses and suburban areas. To decide which type to choose, you should study all the advantages and disadvantages of such buildings.
Closed kitchen
This kitchen has windows, doors and a roof, just like a full-fledged house. There are options combined with a bathhouse or summer shower, cellar, workshop, with an attached veranda for eating and relaxing. Usually, lightweight materials are chosen for construction and the building is not insulated, so the room is not used in winter. At the same time, there are kitchens made of brick and foam blocks, which are more durable and can be insulated if necessary.
Advantages of closed structures:
- a closed kitchen requires more materials and therefore costs more;
- the project will require additional calculations;
- the construction process is more labor-intensive and time-consuming.
This option is more suitable for country houses where the owners live permanently. But in a dacha that is empty in winter, building a closed kitchen is not always justified.
Open kitchens are built according to the principle: a concrete or tiled base, support pillars around the perimeter, and a canopy roof. A stove, a kitchen table, and benches are installed under the canopy. Sometimes the kitchen is made without a canopy if it is used exclusively for cooking on vacation on clear days. Construction material For an open kitchen, wood, brick, and natural stone are most often used.
Summer kitchen - project with barbecue Advantages:
- the room cannot be used during the cold period;
- no protection from wind and insects;
- poor protection from rain and dampness;
- You cannot leave food.
- all furniture that will be there must be hidden for the winter in closed, dry rooms, otherwise it will quickly rot.
Where to build
The location of the kitchen is of great importance. The utility yard and cesspools should be located as far away as possible, but communications, on the contrary, should be closer. You will have to supply water to the kitchen and connect electricity, so it is best if the site for construction is near the house. You cannot choose a place in a low place, otherwise the floor will become damp. A closed kitchen can be attached to the house, but an open kitchen is better placed in the garden or near a pond, away from the road.
Construction of an open kitchen
There are many options for building an open kitchen, but the main stages are always the same: marking and preparing the site, laying out the foundation, installing load-bearing supports, installing the roof and interior design of the room.
To work you will need:
- level;
- shovel;
- pegs and twine;
- tape measure; sand and crushed stone;
- cement mortar;
- pieces of reinforcement;
- timber 150x150 mm;
- circular saw;
- drill;
- screwdriver;
- hammer and nails;
- metal squares;
- self-tapping screws;
- boards 25 mm thick;
- primer.
Step 1. Marking
The selected area is cleared of all excess and the turf is removed. They determine one of the corners of the building and drive a peg into the ground, and then measure the width and length of the area for the kitchen from it. Beacon pegs are placed in each corner and string is pulled between them. Check the correctness of the markings along the diagonals - they must be the same length. After this, soil is selected inside the marking to a depth of 15-20 cm, leveled and compacted.
Step 2. Pouring the foundation
The bottom of the pit is covered with an even layer of sand, leveled, and compacted well. If necessary, communication pipes are laid along the bottom and crushed stone is poured on top. A reinforcing mesh is laid, metal rods 20 cm high are inserted into the corners of the site, and formwork made of boards is installed around the perimeter. The height of the formwork above the ground surface should be about 10 cm; using the level inside the formwork marks the line for pouring the mortar so that the site is level. Knead and pour it into the formwork, following the markings. Communication pipes are closed with plugs, otherwise the solution may get inside. The surface is leveled according to the rule, after which the foundation is left until completely dry.
Also, the foundation for the kitchen can be made of a columnar type using bricks. The marking is done in the same way monolithic foundation, after which they dig up square shape pits up to 50 cm deep. The bottom of the pits is filled with sand and compacted, then a metal rod is inserted around which brickwork. The height of the foundation columns is checked by level. If necessary, the columns are leveled with an additional layer of cement.
A lower frame made of timber will be attached to the reinforcement bars, which is joined using the “claw” method. The timber is laid on roofing felt, pre-glued with bitumen to each post. On bottom trim subfloor logs are installed from edged boards.
Step 3. Installation of load-bearing supports
At the lower ends of the beam, holes are drilled for reinforcing bars protruding from the foundation. The front posts are made 20 cm higher than the rear ones to make it easier to mount the canopy. The beams are installed at the corners of the site, leveled, and then fixed to the base with metal plates on anchor bolts. Along the upper edge, the pillars are connected with timber strapping, and horizontal jumpers are mounted at a height of 70-80 cm from the floor.
Table. Roof slope depending on covering
| Roof material | Weight sq. m (without base), kg | Approximate durability, years | Roof slope, degrees |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sheet black steel | 3-5 | 20-25 | 16-30 |
| Galvanized steel | 3,5-6 | 30-40 | 16-30 |
| Ruberoid | 4-13 | 13-15 | 4-27 |
| Roof tiles | 40-50 | 60 or more | 30-45 |
| Asbestos cement | 14-20 | 40-45 | 27-50 |
Step 4. Installation of the canopy
Primed boards are nailed to the top frame along the width of the structure every 50 cm. The internal joints must be reinforced with metal squares so that the canopy does not come apart when strong wind. Waterproofing material is laid on top of the boards, thin slats are stuffed and sheets of slate or
Step 5. Floor installation
The most optimal solution would be tiling. It is not afraid of moisture, is easily cleaned of dirt, and easily tolerates temperature changes. Wooden flooring in an open kitchen quickly becomes unusable when exposed to atmospheric moisture, dries out from the sun, is damaged by insects, and therefore requires regular care. So, take the tiles, tile adhesive, notched trowel and begin tiling the floor. Lay the tiles from the corner: apply a little mortar to the back surface, apply it to the floor and level it.
In the photo - porcelain tiles for the street To make the seams as even as possible, special plastic crosses are used, which are inserted at the joints. Laying is constantly monitored by level, otherwise the coating will be uneven. If you plan to install a barbecue in the kitchen, the floor underneath does not need to be tiled. After completing the work, the seams are cleaned of dust and mortar residues, and then rubbed with a special mixture.
Step 6. Arranging the kitchen
For greater comfort, the space between the floor and horizontal lintels can be lined with boards or covered with wooden figured bars, leaving the door passage free. A stove, benches and a table are installed, electricity and water are supplied. Finally, wooden surfaces are covered with stain and varnish or painted, protecting the wood from environmental influences.

Construction of a closed kitchen
Closed kitchens are also very diverse, but the most convenient and easiest to implement is a frame structure made of timber on columnar foundation. For cladding, it is recommended to use lining or OSB boards.
During the work you will need:
- circular saw;
- jigsaw;
- drill and screwdriver;
- building level;
- shovel;
- hammer;
- roulette;
- dry planed timber 100x100 mm;
- boards 25 mm thick;
- long cord and pegs for beacons;
- roofing felt;
- cement mortar;
- construction studs;
- working off;
- nails and screws;
- sand.
Step 1. Marking the area
The selected area must be prepared: level the hills, remove tall grass, stones, and debris. Now you need to determine where the facade line will be located and place 2 beacons on it. The distance between the pegs is equal to the length of the facade. Perpendicular to this line, measure the length of the side walls from each beacon and also place marks. A cord is pulled between the beacons, and the diagonals are measured in the resulting rectangle. If they are equal, the marking is done correctly. In the center of each side of the future kitchen and at the intersection of the diagonals, you also need to drive in pegs - these are marks for intermediate posts.
Step 2. Preparing the foundation
Using a shovel, dig holes in places marked with pegs to a depth of 40 cm; The dimensions of the pit should correspond to two cinder blocks laid flat. The walls and bottom of the pits are leveled, a 10 cm layer of sand is filled in and compacted. 2 lower cinder blocks are laid on the sand, covered with mortar, a construction pin is inserted in the center so that it rises above the ground surface by about 25-30 cm. Then the second row of cinder blocks is placed on top across the first, mortar again and the third row. Finished pillars must have same height and be located on the same level.
Step 3. Installation of the bottom trim
The lower trim consists of two rows of timber, knocked together. All beams are generously coated with waste oil, paying special attention to the cuts, and then dried. In the beams of the bottom row you need to make holes for the studs, and in the top row you need to cut grooves for the floor crossbars. The depth of the grooves corresponds to half the thickness of the beam, and the width is equal to the thickness of the crossbar.
Pieces of roofing felt are placed on top of the pillars, sliding them directly onto the studs. The lower beams are applied to the pillars, the location of the studs is marked, and holes of the appropriate diameter are drilled. Next, lay them on the foundation, thread the studs into the holes and tighten the nuts. The ends of the studs should not protrude above the surface of the timber; on the contrary, it is better when they are slightly recessed into the wood. Check the piping with a level along the entire perimeter to avoid distortions. Now you need to lay the top row of beams, nail them, and insert the floor beams into the grooves. For greater reliability, it is better to reinforce internal joints with metal plates and screws.
Step 4. Summer kitchen - log house
This summer kitchen has a beautiful appearance, is environmentally friendly and retains heat well inside the room. However, it is extremely important to treat the material with a fire-retardant impregnation to prevent the wood from being damaged by insects.
It is worth remembering that the log house will shrink over several years, so it is not recommended to additionally sheath the walls of the summer kitchen.
To ensure that the walls inside the room are even, each log along its entire length is hewn with a plane or grinder. At the ends of the logs, grooves are cut for joining (the “paw” method). This method was not chosen by chance. Firstly, the logs will be used without residue, and secondly, even if the corner connection has a small gap, this will not affect the functionality and convenience of the summer kitchen.
To build a mortgage crown, we lay two logs opposite each other. We place two more perpendicularly on them. We adjust this square to a single plane so that it lies clearly horizontally on the lower frame of the future summer kitchen. Next, we mark, cut and lay the following logs, between which we lay insulation, for example, moss or felt.
Openings for the doors and windows of the summer kitchen will be cut down in the future. The double-glazed windows themselves and the entrance door along with the components will be installed after the roof installation process is completed. We present to your attention a photo report of the construction of a 7x3 m summer kitchen.

Step 5. Roof installation
Roof trusses are made from boards with a cross-section of 150x50 mm, reinforced inside with spacers and mounted to the top frame. The ends should protrude 10-15 cm beyond the perimeter of the walls. The distance between the trusses is approximately 1.5 m. The roof elements are fastened to the frame using metal plates and bolts. After installing the rafters, a ridge is installed along the trusses, and then the roof frame is sheathed with boards. Corrugated board, slate or other roofing material is laid on the sheathing.
The roof is covered with ondulin

Step 6. Arranging the kitchen
When the basic processes are completed, you should get serious about interior arrangement kitchens. The walls can be covered with plastic or, since a frame covered with plywood does not look very aesthetically pleasing. Then they install the stove, sink, connect electricity and water, arrange kitchen furniture. At this point, the construction of the closed kitchen can be considered complete.

Video - DIY summer kitchen
Steaming indoors in the summer when you can spend time outdoors? Not a good idea. And cooking or making twists is even worse. It is much more pleasant and useful to spend time under a canopy or in a light, ventilated building, which many call a “summer kitchen.” It’s easy to build a summer kitchen with your own hands, especially open options.
Open summer kitchen: views and photos
Open is more likely open gazebo or veranda. A very good option for the warm season. Not in all regions, even in summer, you can stay outside for a long time. Then they make closed summer kitchens - this is already a small house that can be built using any technology that seems most attractive to you.
Summer kitchen - extension
Let's start with open areas. If you plan to move the main activity to fresh air for the summer, it will be more convenient to attach a summer kitchen to existing house. In this case they do. Most often, they first make it open. The easiest way is to make a wooden extension. In a very open version, these could simply be pillars supporting the roof.
The simplest option is a few pillars supporting a light roof - the summer kitchen is ready with your own hands
This option is very good for the southern regions, where for most of the year you can stay outside for as long as you like. For more northern regions or if this is a home permanent residence, usually they decide to make the extension more closed. First they make the railings, and then they often think about covering the spans with something else: they want to extend the “period of use.” As a result, the open summer kitchen becomes closed.
The most common material for this type of extension is wood. It is flexible, forgives many mistakes, which can be corrected later without disassembling the structure, so it is easy to work even without skills. It is also lightweight, so the foundation for a summer kitchen made of wood can be made lightweight - columnar or
The second most popular material is brick or decorative stone. If you have direct hands and follow the technology, amateur developers can work with this material. You shouldn’t take on building a house without experience, but you can try putting together pillars and partitions for a summer kitchen.
But since even a pillar made of brick or stone no longer weighs a hundred kilograms or more, a more solid foundation is required for it. If we take into account that it will also take the load from the roof, then we will have to make pillars or piles with good load-bearing capacity.
Removal from the side of the house - open terrace with stove and barbecue
If you are thinking about putting brick walls, it’s better to fill it right away pile-strip foundation, and bury the tape below the freezing depth. If this option is not suitable - the freezing depth is large or the soil does not allow it, you will have to either make a monolithic slab, or abandon the brick partitions, making them using a different technology, even from the same wood or from the same wood. The good thing about a self-built summer kitchen is that you know all the design features down to the smallest detail, you can subsequently modernize the building.
Detached building
Some people don’t really like kitchen odors that can enter the house from the extension. Then a small building is erected at some distance from the house. The presence of summer kitchens is almost a mandatory attribute of private houses in the southern regions. Before the era of air conditioning, cooking indoors in the heat was real torture: high temperature“overboard”, heated walls, and even the heat from the stove - the conditions are hellish, while the rest of the rooms are also heated. That’s why they made at least small free-standing gazebo houses, in which in cities they installed a gas stove and a cylinder with liquefied gas, in villages they put small stove. Some even cooked on a “kirogaz” or primus stove.
Modern climate control technology can eliminate all these inconveniences, but free-standing summer kitchens are still being built. They are often also used as a guest house - having made them.
Most cheap option- pillars supporting the roof. They can be wooden, brick or combined - consisting of a stone base and a timber top. This best option from the point of view of operation: the wood is protected from the effects of most precipitation, and at the same time the weight is not very large.
One of the easy options
What to make the floor from
The floor in such a kitchen can be made of planks. It’s easier to do, but many are confused by the fact that the wood will be left with virtually no protection. There are two ways to solve the problem. The first is to use effective protective impregnations - such as wood oils or waxes intended for outdoor use. They do not create a shiny surface, but protect well from moisture and dirt. Using varnishes for summer kitchens is not the best idea. They begin to burst and crack; to renew the coating, the old one must be completely removed, while oils and wax require only thorough preliminary cleaning; after drying, a fresh layer can be applied.
This terrace has been treated with Pinotex Terrace Oil
The second way is to use not wood, but a wood-polymer composite (WPC). These are boards that consist of a mixture of wood fibers and polymers. They look and feel very much like wood. The only difference is that they almost do not change size depending on humidity, although thermal expansion is present. Such boards are called “decking” or “planken” depending on the profile of the board. There is also “garden parquet”. This is a covering made from the same material, only assembled into panels, like parquet. They can simply be laid on the ground, without any preparation.
The terrace and floor in the summer kitchen are made of WPC - wood-polymer composite
The advantages of WPC include a long period of operation without changing the original properties. It dates back decades, but varies greatly depending on the manufacturer. The downside is that the price is not the most affordable. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the technology is relatively new, not yet particularly mastered, although there are Russian manufacturers similar products.
Stone or specialized tiles withstand weather conditions better, but installing such a floor is not an easy task. If you simply lay it on a gravel-sand backfill and let it soak in the fall, in frosty weather the tiles may crack or bounce off. We have to make an insulated one monolithic slab, following all the technology: with a sand and gravel layer, insulation, reinforcement, pouring concrete. The dimensions of this slab are 50-60 cm larger around the perimeter than the planned building. In general, the costs and work are serious, although it is convenient to use.
One of the floor options is large concrete slabs made of high-grade concrete
After a time when the concrete gains strength (at least 2 weeks should pass, and this is at an average temperature of +20°C), the coating can be laid. You can use flagstone - stone sawn into layers, you can use porcelain stoneware, or frost-resistant tiles.
A simpler option is to lay out a site paving slabs. But this is an exclusively summer option. But - without fussing with the foundation.
If you build a summer kitchen with your own hands at the dacha, this is perhaps the best option. It turns out inexpensive and practical.
Closed summer kitchen
Those who want to have an all-season summer area for gatherings or cooking, install more permanent buildings. Most often, these are buildings using frame technology - quickly and relatively inexpensively, more expensive, but more capital - from logs or timber.
“Framework” option - racks made of timber covered with clapboard
In the case of a frame building, everything is very simple: racks made of timber are placed in small increments (you can even join boards together), then they are sheathed on both sides with some kind of finishing material. What kind is your choice, be it clapboard - wooden or plastic, blockhouse, or any other material. To save money, the inside is often sheathed with plywood, fiberboard, gypsum fiber board, OSB or something similar. If desired, it can be insulated. The frame is sheathed on one side, insulation is laid (usually mineral wool), and sheathing is installed on the other side. You can insulate not only immediately, but after some time, you just have to remove the sheathing on one side.
What does the “skeleton” of a summer kitchen look like using frame technology?
Another advantage of frame construction is that it can be given any shape, and the foundation can be relatively light - depending on the soil - pile or strip. Such foundations are also needed for wooden buildings- from logs or timber. All the rules are the same here. It is important to find or order a project, but assembly is a matter of technique.
Naturally, you can build from any other materials - from foam blocks to brick or even rubble. It's all about the amount you plan or can spend on this building. It will also be inexpensive to build from foam concrete, aerated concrete, some building blocks, and adobe. Cinder block, like adobe, can be made independently, so the choice of material is up to you, and then everything is built according to all the rules. There is only one deviation: insulation for the summer kitchen is either not done at all, or it is done minimally. Another point - heating, as a rule, is absent, and this also must be taken into account when choosing materials for construction and finishing.
Photo report of the construction of a summer kitchen with an open veranda
A summer kitchen with the opportunity to “sit outside” was being built. Therefore, the option with an open veranda was chosen. The base of the house is assembled from 200*200 mm timber, the internal walls are made from 150*100 mm. I like the look of the carriage, but it is ungodly expensive, so the timber was trimmed to create a similar relief.
The foundation is made of columnar. Since the construction is light, the soil is normal, the posts were buried only 60 cm.
The harness was assembled from 200*200 mm timber. It was pre-impregnated with an antiseptic. The corners were connected as usual - cuts were made. The cross members were mounted on metal U-shaped plates. The beam was not firmly secured, since heaving would still occur, so that the building could “walk.”
The racks were made of 200*200 mm timber, the internal filling was made of 150*100 mm.
The walls were assembled quite quickly and without problems: there were no cuts, just pieces of timber of the required length were nailed to the posts. The roof is gabled, with a slight slope angle. On one side there is a take-out rafter legs more - to make a canopy on the side of the veranda, which will also cover from slanting rain.
The ceiling lining is made from unedged boards, which were then finished off on our own machine.

Summer kitchen design: photo
After building a summer kitchen, another problem arises: it is necessary to decorate it. The arrangement includes not only the choice of a table and chairs, it is also necessary to somehow organize the work area, somewhere to store food for the stove, which is often placed here.
