With its competent creation, spending time behind a stove in the summer will turn into a real pleasure. After all, all the rooms in the house will remain cool and fresh, and in rainy weather there will be no dirt from their shoes.

Types of summer kitchens

Summer kitchen in a private or country house is, first of all, a multifunctional and ergonomic room, which must be present:

• Working oven;
• Sink for washing dishes;
• Work surface for cooking;
• Cupboards for dishes;
• Shelves and hinged furniture;
• Chairs and table;
• Barbecue or fireplace as desired.

Such premises are divided into:

• Open type structures, which are an open area without a roof or with a canopy;
• Closed buildings, with the erection of walls and the creation of a quality roof.

Gated kitchen

Such premises resemble a miniature structure similar to a private house. May or may not have adequate heating. Such a summer kitchen has several advantages in the form of:

• Comfortable conditions for cooking on hot days;
• Great family gatherings in the fresh air both on warm days and in the rain;
• Reception even in bad weather;
• Storage of various garden tools and household kitchen items.

If you wish, you can conduct electricity and water in the kitchen miniature house, as well as attach to the main room. Create it with a beautiful terrace and equip a fireplace. The closed kitchen is equipped with household appliances and appropriate furniture. If this type of room is glazed with high-quality window packages, the building can be operated year-round.

Open kitchen

This design of a summer kitchen building usually has from one to three walls, and an awning or marquise as a roofing material. It resembles a standard gazebo. This kitchen has its advantages in the form of:

• Very quick and easy construction;
• Minimum financial costs for materials;
• Lack of vapor and cooking

However, the open structure has several disadvantages:

• Being in the building only during warm and not rainy weather;
• Transportation of furniture to another place in the cold season;
• Lack of protection against through gusts of wind, rain and harmful insects.

The design of the disclosed type can also be organized:

1. On the veranda.
2. As an extension to the room.
3. Pergola arbor.

How to build a summer kitchen with your own hands

The summer kitchen project consists of several stages:

1. Selection of the necessary location of the structure.
2. Foundation preparation.
3. The construction of partitions.
4. The arrangement of the roof.
5. Finishing the interior.

Choose a location

Of course, the garden with all kinds of flowering ornamental plants will be the most ideal place to build a summer kitchen. Such summer kitchens in the country with a closed and open photo can be viewed on the Internet. There are many options for the location of kitchens, however, a successfully and advantageously located building should:

1. Ergonomically located relative to the entrance to the main room.
2. Located remotely from the toilet, drain pit and sheds with pets.
3. Located as far as possible from the elements of the road structure.
4. Be within reach of the power grid and aqueduct.
5. Located far from close groundwater.

Preparing the foundation

Each summer kitchen with their own hands in no case can do without laying the foundation. Indeed, in its absence, any structure for the season will simply go downhill. In the construction of such structures, three types of base are used:

1. Columnar base. Such a foundation has several pillars of supports that, through themselves, transmit the entire load to the surface of the earth. Ideal for uneven terrain. Columns of brick or concrete are placed at the corners at the corners of the future room at the joints of the walls.
2. Tape base. It is customary to lay such a foundation in closed-type kitchen buildings made of brick or other rather heavy building material. Summer kitchen in the country and projects with the layout of garages, basements and attics are also being built on such a foundation.
3. Base plate. A shallow or floating base, after filling which a plate is formed under the entire structure. The foundation is ideal for freezing and unstable soil. A wonderful option for a summer kitchen built from aerated concrete.

The type of foundation required will depend on the layout of the summer kitchen. When you bookmark it, the following actions are performed:

• A ditch 40-55 cm deep is dug around the periphery of the kitchen;
• The edges of the ditch are fixed with an auxiliary wooden or metal structure;
• At the bottom of the auxiliary structure, a loose psephitic sedimentary rock 6-10 cm thick is poured and compacted;
• After that, all the elements are poured with concrete;
• For the strength of the substrate, special rods are inserted into it before pouring concrete;
• It takes 12-25 days to dry the flooded base.

We build walls

When drawing up the plan and plan of the summer kitchen, it is determined whether the main partitions are required. In the absence of walls according to the plan, in any case, support-columnar bases are mounted that will support the canopy or the roof. The compound for the construction of piers or bases can serve:

1. Elements of wood. Buildings from this compound look cute, stylish and are quite popular. However, structures made of this material must be systematically treated to prevent damage. And in this case, vinyl siding or a board with a “tongue” can serve as the external finish.
2. Stone materials. Long-lasting and reliable elements: brick, cinder block, aerated concrete and more. For the construction of a suburban summer kitchen, a thickness of one unit of compound is quite enough.

Building a roof

In cases where a summer kitchen with a veranda is being built, it is necessary to take into account its design of the roofing finishing element. After all, its future configuration will depend on the slope of the roof and the presence of a canopy. To successfully protect the kitchen building from the weather, the roof must have an optimal shape, ensuring a minimum of joints.

The most suitable for buildings of this type will be these types of roofs:

• Single-handed. This configuration would be a great option for a kitchen with a veranda or terrace;
• Flat. A wonderful option for a closed room, under the roof of which according to plan there will be an attic;
• Gable. The most economical configuration for all types of kitchen buildings.

The best compound for roofing is:

1. Roof tile;
2. Bitumen;
3. Decorative slate.

Interior decoration and interior design

The interior decoration of summer kitchen apartments is most often designed in accordance with the main dwelling. However, if desired, the interior will depend only on the fantasies and capabilities of the owners.

1. Stoves. This element can be performed: standard gas with a cylinder, wood, barbecue or barbecue, fireplace, potbelly stove or "buleryanom".
2. Sinks. An ideal option would be to install a double sink with a heater and a secondary water tank.
3. Dining area. In the center of the room is set furniture, for which the owners and their guests will gather.

• Pictures.

The interior of the kitchen apartments should create comfort and good mood. Therefore, its design is a very important process.

Additional outdoor decor is also needed:

1. Around the erected building, you can install street decorative flashlights that run on solar panels. Such elements will accumulate energy during the day, and gently illuminate the entrance to the building at night.
