The best summer kitchens in the country with a barbecue: projects and layout and design

If it is not possible to purchase a gazebo, you can try to make it yourself. It will be much cheaper. At the same time, you get enormous scope for creativity and the implementation of your own thoughts and ideas that relate to the equipment of the space around you.

The most reliable and practical so far is a stationary barbecue made of stone. For simple reasons, it is a favorite among other models. The foundation for the barbecue is laid by building the foundation. Its thickness is at least thirty centimeters. Next are rows of brick or stone masonry, laid out as a “wall”.

But you can take on the frame of the gazebo yourself. In materials, prefer wood with small inserts of stone elements (for example, for a barbecue area).

The easiest way is to create an open-type gazebo, but if you have the opportunity to purchase separate sliding panels and metal doors, implementing a semi-closed building project will not be so difficult.

A purely summer kitchen is essentially a roof on wooden beams, and it is as light as the structure itself. You can cover it with light slate to protect it from external influences.

If you plan to use the gazebo during the cold season, then you should take care of thermal insulation, and the roof should be of a gable type. The open part should be covered by at least a wooden or metal canopy.

Closed gazebos must be equipped with window openings, and care must be taken to ensure the correct installation of glass.

It is better to entrust the installation of electricity, Internet cables, as well as water pipes or gas to specialists.

DIY food and seating area

Having decided on the location of the barbecue complex, the next step is to decide where the place for meals and relaxation will be located.

There are several design solutions for this:

• make a stationary recreation area with your own hands. This can be either an open or semi-closed/closed area from all types of precipitation, including from the scorching sun;
• build a mobile recreation area. You may not secure some of the structures in order to move them later.

Location

Pergola over the recreation area
When choosing a suitable place for a barbecue area in a country house, it is not enough to study projects and photo ideas, do not forget to take into account the following rules:

• the chosen location should be sufficiently protected from sun and rain. It is best to place it under the shade of trees, a canopy or under a vineyard;
• if you want to add a playground to this complex, it is best to choose a flat, wide place with a good view. This way you can have a pleasant time and not worry that the children are left unattended;
• choose a place with minimal ventilation so that smoke from the chimney of the barbecue or barbecue does not flow in your direction.

Tables and chairs

Having decided on the location, it’s time to take care of the furniture

Here it is important to first understand whether your furniture will come into contact with water. If the answer is yes, then you need to choose rattan or plastic furniture

These materials have a long service life and do not deteriorate for a long time.

Rocking chairs and hammocks

Rocking chairs will be an excellent addition to the relaxation area. You can purchase in the store (or make it yourself) completely diverse and interesting options, for example from:

• tree
• rattan
• profile pipe
• plywood
• willow twigs, etc.

If you want a rocking chair and a sofa at the same time, then choose a garden swing or a hammock - an excellent option for a family vacation. You can either buy it in stores or make it yourself.

Material

An enclosed summer kitchen can be built from materials used for the construction of residential buildings. It can be brick, cellular concrete, stone, frame structure, profiled timber, etc. Wide glazing is usually used. A foundation is installed for the construction that corresponds to the technology for using the selected material. In some cases, kitchens are simply built on a concrete screed. A building without a foundation will last less, but its construction will cost much less.

An open kitchen can be built using the same materials as a closed one. Wall materials are needed for arranging a support system, constructing partial walls and decorative design. There are many ways to arrange an outdoor area. The main load carried by such a structure is the weight of the roof. Therefore, there is no special need to build a foundation.

When using a wooden covering, the platform level is often raised above ground level. This is necessary to ensure that the floor covering always remains dry and lasts as long as possible. A summer kitchen project with a barbecue may involve a low podium or several steps.

Rules for choosing a place for a barbecue on the site

Before starting to equip the barbecue area, the owner of the site should familiarize himself with the following standards:

• Fire safety. The barbecue area at the dacha is a place where an open fire is lit. Accordingly, increased fire safety requirements are imposed on this zone. The fire source should be at a distance of 10 m from residential and outbuildings made of wood, or 5 m from brick buildings. It is not advisable to place a barbecue area in your dacha next to trees and bushes.
• Wind protection. The barbecue area should be planned in a place sheltered from the wind due to the natural topography or other buildings. You also need to remember about the convenience of your neighbors - smoke and odors should not bother them. The simplest solution for protection from wind would be to build a special windproof wall up to 2 m high.
• Ergonomics. The barbecue area in a private house is a recreation area, and therefore it is necessary to provide for ease of access to the gathering place for guests, especially in the evening. The paths should be wide and non-slip, the area and approaches to it should be illuminated, and it is advisable to install a water supply to the place where barbecue is prepared. The side walls should not obscure the view of the playground where children can play. Often a barbecue is installed not just in the yard, but next to the bathhouse in order to combine these types of recreation.
• Aesthetic perception. Relaxing in a beautiful place is doubly pleasant. Owners need to ensure that the view from the recreation area with barbecue does not overlook a neighbor’s toilet, a rickety fence or a barn. While enjoying rest and food, it is more pleasant to look at flower beds, a small pond or picturesque trees and shrubs.

Layout

The usual layout of a summer kitchen is no different from the kitchen-dining room designed in a cottage. Part of it is allocated for the work area and is equipped with a sink, stove, and fryer. Sometimes, instead of a regular kitchen, a barbecue area is planned and only equipment for cooking over an open fire is installed. The remaining space is occupied by a dining table, chairs, benches, armchairs and other furniture for relaxation.

Recently, more and more often, summer kitchens are built combined with other buildings. This is done to save space on the site. So, a bathhouse, storage for garden tools, a guest house, or anything else acts as an extension.

Build or buy?

For rare outings into nature, a portable grill or barbecue is quite suitable, and besides, it will not cost much. The choice in stores of such designs is huge: there are both the simplest in function and appearance, as well as designer designs with advanced functionality.

A stationary barbecue oven is an excellent option for those who spend a lot of time in their country house or countryside and cannot imagine a summer vacation without barbecue. You can build a stove either with the help of specialists or on your own - it all depends on the skills and complexity of the design. It is better to entrust a barbecue with a barbecue, a spit, a stove under a cauldron and other additional elements to professionals, and it is easy to lay out a U-shaped brick hearth with your own hands. This will require a minimum of effort, fireproof and fireclay bricks, and mortar. The height of this design is 1 m; two grates are attached between the walls, parallel to each other: one for coals, the second for food.

At the end of the picnic season, it is better to cover a stationary stove, if it is not under a canopy, with a protective cover, and first remove the grates so that they do not rust.

Temporary barbecue of their bricks

You can make a temporary barbecue oven out of brick - without using mortar. For these purposes, you can use ordinary brick - an open hearth (without a chimney) and small gaps in the masonry will ensure a thermal regime acceptable for ceramics.

A step-by-step algorithm for constructing a temporary barbecue looks like this:

1. Prepare a flat and firm area on the ground. You don’t even have to remove the humus layer - just cut off the vegetation, level and compact the surface.
2. Cover with a couple of layers of roofing material.
3. Lay out the first tier of bricks with small gaps between the prongs and tongues of adjacent elements.
4. The second tier is placed in a dressing with the first, maintaining approximately the same size gaps.
5. The next rows are laid out in the same way. The masonry is laid to a height convenient for using a barbecue. You need 10-11 such rows. At this height, a steel sheet is placed on the bricks, which will serve as a tray for coals.
6. Lay it dry on the sides and back of the wall, two bricks high. Lay and secure the grate.
7. The walls are increased in height by another two or three bricks.

Such a stove can be laid out in a couple of hours. And take it apart in the same amount of time. A good option for a summer house or a small local area.

Tips for building a stove with a chimney yourself

When planning a barbecue area yourself, you can take a finished project and make amendments to it. To avoid missing details, discuss the sketch with your household.

The skill of bricklaying needs to be learned, not to mention the construction of a stove. If you already have a similar skill, as well as time and desire, then you can try to make a barbecue area with your own hands.

They start from the base. For a stove with a chimney, only a foundation is suitable (on difficult soils, also reinforced with reinforcement), and for ready-made stove complexes the platform is laid out with paving slabs or stone. After completing the foundation, at least 3 weeks must pass before construction of the furnace begins.

The stove is lined with red refractory bricks. The firebox is made of fireclay bricks. For cladding, artificial or natural stone and facing bricks are used.

Organizing quality rest is important at any age. A self-sufficient person tends to strive for the best. If today you are satisfied with a simple barbecue near the garage, then tomorrow you will think about something more interesting.

Purpose of the stove and its features

If we talk about the functions of the stove, then, in fact, they are similar to the purpose of a cauldron or barbecue. It also allows you to use fire to cook various dishes. Most people use the grill exclusively for barbecues.

But not everyone knows how an outdoor fireplace differs from a barbecue, but, nevertheless, the difference is obvious. The fireplace does not have a grate used for cooking.

When looking at a photo of a barbecue with your own hands, you need to pay attention to the fact that the project must necessarily imply a rational distance to a safe distance from various buildings. Any stove can pose a fire hazard

In addition, very often there is a lot of smoke in the immediate vicinity of the stove, which is unlikely to please the guests of the house, even if they were invited to a picnic in the backyard. The design of a barbecue must be careful.

Particular attention is paid to the selection of material for manufacturing. It must be durable, prevent the slightest fire and at the same time be resistant to various weather conditions.

If we talk about what a barbecue with a cauldron is in general, then it’s worth turning to the dictionary. In English, the word barbecue is translated as “open fire.”

The boiler appeared back in the 20th century and resembled a hemisphere. Today, the stove complex can be presented in the store in one of five variations.

Disposable. Made from fairly thin sheet metal. There is coal directly in the pan, which is covered on top with a grate.

Mobile. In essence, it is something like a suitcase that can be very quickly moved to the right place. If you like to go out of town and have picnics with friends, then a barbecue with a smokehouse for a dacha of this type will be the ideal option for you.

Boiler. By its origin it belongs to the American species. It must have an additional cover that looks like a dome.

The trolley has a complex mechanism in which the working part can be either fixed in a separate variation or foldable.

The stationary complex is almost always made of brick and is only complemented by a table at which all guests can be seated if desired.

In order to build a brick barbecue, you will need to use at least two types of brick. You will need to purchase facing, refractory bricks from the store.

If we consider all types of refractory bricks that can be found today in construction supermarkets, then the construction of a barbecue involves the use of fireclay bricks, since it contains a lot of clay, which will allow it to withstand even the highest temperatures.

When choosing a brick for cladding, be sure to pay attention to how durable the material is

The design of the barbecue additionally provides for the use of a solution. To create it, you will need to buy cement with sand and special red clay.

It is with the help of it that fireclay bricks are laid. Sand and cement will be used for mortar for the cladding.

Arrangement of a canopy and supports for it

The supports can be made of wooden beams, metal rods, or made of brick or stone. The latter options are more suitable for monumental buildings that will last for more than one year. Canopies can be hard or soft. The first category includes slate, metal profiles, copper sheets, and tiles. These materials are laid on a pre-prepared roof truss. The roof structure has increased strength. Soft coatings include any materials that are flexible. They are applied to the frame using the fusing method.

There are three types of soft coverings:

• Bitumen based;
• On a bitumen-polymer basis;
• Polymers.

In budget projects they use a universal and inexpensive material - polycarbonate. Its main “competitor” is tarpaulin and other waterproof fabrics.

Basics of designing a barbecue area in the country

Before we move on to consider possible projects, we note a few rules that you should heed when implementing them yourself.

The first rule is the optimal distance to a residential building. In the event that a separate water and power supply is not provided at the planned facility, it makes no sense to set it at the maximum distance. Moreover, provided that the food is stored in the building, for example, in a small refrigerator, you will have to periodically return for it.

Rule two is a flat, elevated platform. Its use is clearly necessary, since unfavorable weather conditions will make it simply impossible to use the allocated area for its intended purpose.

The third rule is that the food preparation area should be separate from the area where people eat. This can be done physically or conditionally. In the first case, all kinds of walls are used for this, including those made of trellises or living plantings, but for the second, the active use of zoning techniques is implied with the separation of tables, roofs and simple organization of passages.

Sketch diagram of the construction project

When developing a kitchen project, make sure that while preparing dishes you do not have to often run for food located tens of meters away from the barbecue area. It is useful to include in the sketch such devices as drawers and shelves for storing necessary cooking items. You will definitely need a cauldron, skewers, dishes, etc. The cooking process will become even more convenient if you solve the issue of water supply in the gazebo, and also take care of a sink for washing dishes. Having solved these problems, it will be much easier for you to prepare various dishes later.

Most of the ready-made designs for a barbecue area at the dacha involve laying a stove. With regard to the construction of stationary tables, the owner is allowed to focus on his own preferences. However, such an approach is unacceptable for a stove: in order for the stove to function correctly, its masonry must be carried out in accordance with a special row scheme, which clearly defines the laying of each row. It should be borne in mind that the stove can perform additional functions in addition to its main one.

Once the sketch of the barbecue area is ready and it becomes clear to you what the stove in the gazebo will look like, you can begin building the foundation. Make sure this structure is protected from the wind, add a niche for a woodpile, and also find a place to install heat reflectors.

No. 1. Choosing a hearth, or how a barbecue differs from a barbecue

The heart of the relaxation area at the dacha becomes the hearth, on which delicacies will be prepared. Often the concepts of “barbecue”, “barbecue”, “grill”, “outdoor fireplace” and others are identified, although there is some difference between them . Let's figure out what is what:

• barbecue is the simplest design, most often made of steel, less often of cast iron. Usually these are mobile portable structures, but sometimes they are stationary. The grill is designed as simply as possible and consists of a rectangular bowl with several holes at the bottom, but there are also designer models. The meat is cooked by stringing it on skewers; the height of their placement cannot be adjusted; the heat comes from smoldering coals;
• The grill resembles a deep frying pan on legs; it is equipped with a lid and grate. Cooking takes place over a fire; meat and fish are often smoked on the grill;
• outdoor fireplace resembles an ordinary household one, used for purely decorative purposes, since its design does not imply the presence of a special grill for cooking;

• A garden oven has a firebox, just like a regular home oven, but you can only cook food in a container. Since the smoke is removed through the chimney, you can safely install such a stove on the terrace;
• fireplace, or an open stationary hearth , lined with stone or brick, can also be used for a picnic, and food can be cooked on it using a net, skewers or a spit;
• tandoor is an eastern version of the hearth, which is becoming increasingly popular. Laying it out with refractory or fireclay bricks is not difficult even on your own, and the possibilities open up wide: in addition to traditional dishes of meat, poultry and fish, you can bake bread, while the consumption of coal or firewood will be minimal;
• B-B-Q Today it is the most functional, convenient and popular way of cooking meat, fish and vegetables in nature. Cooking is carried out using a grate on which food is placed; its height can be adjusted. Compact portable barbecues rectangular or round shapes are useful in cases where picnics are organized occasionally: such models are light in weight, easy to use, easy to disassemble, but limited in functionality. Stationary barbecues They are reminiscent of garden ovens, but they are equipped with roasting racks and their position can be adjusted. Fire-resistant bricks are used for their construction. As a rule, the design of a stationary barbecue has dampers that can be used to regulate the flow of fresh air.

A stationary barbecue oven can be equipped with additional elements for maximum convenience in preparing your favorite dishes outdoors. These include, for example, shelves for storing dishes, a compartment for firewood, hooks for spatulas, tongs and other utensils, as well as compartments for smoking meat and even a sink, stove and fireplace. If you place the barbecue in a gazebo or under a canopy, you will get a comfortable seating area that can be used in any weather.

To build a stationary barbecue area, undoubtedly, you will need effort and some financial investments, but you will also receive considerable benefits

• the emergence of a full-fledged kitchen area in the fresh air;
• higher fire safety compared to open fire, in addition, the stationary barbecue oven provides for smoke removal;
• the ability to organize a picnic in any weather;
• The barbecue area will become a decoration of your summer cottage, if, of course, you approach its arrangement correctly.

Designer tips for organizing a summer kitchen

The organization of the summer kitchen and its design occupy the final aspect of the arrangement of the premises.

In a kitchen without walls, it is practical to use wicker furniture made of wood that is resistant to moisture.

The main principle of the aspect is harmony. Everything should visually complement each other and match colors. The general direction of the style should be thought through at the initial stage of construction - this will avoid many problems.

The appearance of the kitchen should match the design of the house. The path from it to the kitchen can be designed, for example, in the form of a winding path, on both sides of which there are low bushes, or a straight road of stones laid out in the shape of patterns.

A structure that has one or two solid walls, along which a stove or work area with household appliances will be located, will be convenient.

A separate mini-house for the work area will allow you to hide equipment from bad weather and serve as a storage place in the winter

Internal organization - water and electricity supply, connection of instruments and equipment must also comply with the principle of harmony. At the registration stage, you need to remember the main recommendations:

• The design of the dining area should be as comfortable as possible. The main thing is compliance with the principle of harmony and practical usefulness.
• For open kitchens, wicker or plastic can be used. For a closed type, upholstered furniture is suitable.
• An installed fireplace will add a feeling of comfort and warmth.

It is important to think about the lighting of the summer kitchen, and several options should be provided that provide both functional light and decorative lighting

Style

The style of the summer kitchen should be subordinated to the overall style of the house and site. This applies not only to the building itself, but also to its internal contents. Even in a closed building, the design of its interior is of great importance. And for an outdoor barbecue kitchen, in which all the details are visible, you need to select furniture and equipment with even greater care.

If the house is built in a restrained classic style, the kitchen can be more original in design, made of any material and in any style. But the contrasting appearance of the building must be supported by the landscape of the site.

A wooden gazebo or terrace would look ideal near a house made of logs or timber. Since wood is a very expressive material, it is better to build the kitchen in the same style as the house. Otherwise, the harmony of landscape design will be disrupted.

If the house is built in a modern minimalist style, a kitchen in the form of a log house will look out of place next to it. But a building of a regular rectangular shape with a flat roof with wooden flooring and pergolas as fencing will fit perfectly.

Cooking equipment

The barbecue area at the dacha is the place where many devices necessary for preparing a wide variety of dishes can be concentrated. In addition to the barbecue, this includes a smokehouse, grill, oven and stove.

Plate

With the arrival of summer, everyone thinks only about relaxation and not everyone wants to spend a lot of time on cooking, which takes place in the kitchen. Therefore, if you place the stove in the recreation area, you can partially solve this problem. And if it is included in the design of the barbecue area, then with its help you can prepare any daily dishes. A good solution would be to include a round hole in the hob, which will be used to install a cauldron. In this case, you can cook unusually tasty pilaf at any time you wish.

it is necessary to provide the possibility of installing a spit

Smokehouse

Along with the above elements, a smokehouse will not hurt you, because it would be wrong if the smoke goes through the pipe in vain. There are many smoked meat lovers among us, but today it is increasingly rare to find truly well-prepared products in stores or on the market. Modern manufacturers are increasingly violating smoking technology, moving away from the traditional method of preparing smoked meats, replacing it with an invention such as liquid smoke, which brings little benefit to our health. If you build a homemade smokehouse, you can be sure that the products cooked on it will be safe for you.

Oven

You can also think about setting up an oven. If you love to cook, then you probably won’t refuse the opportunity to pamper yourself and your family with baked goods or try stewed vegetables.

You can decide for yourself which devices will be present in your oven: it can be a complete set of the devices listed above or those that you will often need.

How to choose the right place for a barbecue area

In order to properly equip a barbecue area, you need to follow a number of mandatory rules. otherwise, the barbecue area will be equipped incorrectly, which will have a detrimental effect on further work in this area.

Reference! It is always worth remembering the basic safety rules and not forgetting that the barbecue area is a place where high temperatures often reign.

How to make a garden barbecue in the country

When choosing a technology, consider the perception factor. For example, a barbecue is associated with an outdoor picnic, and this must be taken into account when choosing a design.

We have enough indoor space all year round even in the city. So, greater priority should still be given to more open “models”. Plus, this way your fireplace can be seen, which is still a beautiful thing in garden design. Closed barbecue.

Like any garden pavilion, this barbecue is built on a foundation, and the walls are usually made of bricks or blocks. The pavilion itself, naturally, should be in harmony with the style of the garden, and certain details of its design should slightly “hint” at its contents. The pavilion can be used all year round, which means the type of fireplace that should be used is only a garden fireplace. The fireplace inside the pavilion must be folded in accordance with all safety regulations, and a pipe must be led to the roof. It is better to entrust the construction of such a barbecue to specialists. The fireplace itself, and the interior of the room can be decorated in any style that you like, but, of course, it makes sense to decorate the barbecue as a real residential house or as a dining room: with kitchen furniture, with a table and chairs, perhaps with a sofa, and, if there is a desire, even with a TV.

A garden fireplace is the most technologically complex type of garden hearth. Visually, it looks like a real fireplace with a chimney, usually used in the interior, and according to the principle of operation, it is similar to the interior one. It is better, of course, to install it in a pavilion, but it can also be installed outdoors, simplifying the design. If the fireplace will be located in a pavilion, it is better to entrust its manufacture to specialists. If you have some experience, you can try to assemble an open fireplace yourself.

The barbecue device is based on a regular rectangular frame into which fuel is placed and skewers are placed above it. However, a fireplace is not a barbecue; it “can” do a lot. Usually, in addition to the immediate compartment for preparing barbecue, it has a “compartment” for preparing other dishes, or for simmering. You can even make a multifunctional fireplace, it could have a firewood rack below, a shelf for dishes above it, a barbecue itself above it, then a grill, and above it a smokehouse. Accordingly, the structure that you are laying out of brick should be “multi-story”, and not a simple rectangle, like a barbecue. You don't have to do all these details; think about what features of your future fireplace are most important to you. Maybe there will be something else in your design? You can even include a built-in bar with a door.

When installing a barbecue oven, the frame is laid out of brick, and this is done on the foundation. Then the frame is lined with brick, stone or covered with fireclay plaster. The brick needs to be fireproof, and almost any stone will do; here, unlike indoor fireplaces, there are no restrictions. Limestone, sandstone (from which the paths are laid), granite, dolomite, and even small, not too heavy boulders are suitable. There is rubble stone - use that too. But it is quite fragile, so it is better to use it in the form of separate inclusions. The nature of the cladding depends on the shape of the fireplace you have in mind.

Selection by size

But you should choose a project taking into account the areas that can be used for the construction of a gazebo with barbecue. Therefore, the main design stage is choosing a location. When calculating we take into account:

• gazebo foundation area;
• area of ​​the grill or oven;
• the distance from the firebox to the seating areas is at least 3 meters;
• the presence of tables, counters, benches, etc.;
• decorative and design elements: figurines, stairs, steps, columns;
• if construction is carried out taking into account landscape design, then in accordance with the project we provide for its elements (swimming pool, stream, decorative bridge, fences, etc.).

Choosing a place for future outdoor activities:

• relatively flat place;
• better - on a hill so as not to flood;
• away from gas, electrical wiring, flammable materials;
• away from the fence and neighbors;
• not to the detriment of valuable plantings;
• It is better on the sunny side of the site.

Brick structures

This barbecue area is highly durable and also safer compared to a wooden gazebo. Brick is not flammable, although it should be taken into account that during the heat of the day, being in such a room can become torture: the stone heats up from the barbecue and from the heat of the sun, and if guests may not notice this, the cook, who is constantly at the stove, will definitely not be delighted.

Portable barbecue in the garden (with photo)

A portable barbecue is a well-known portable prefabricated grill, as well as modern braziers, usually imported. Accordingly, the appearance and style of such fireplaces are different.

There are high-tech style braziers, and there are quite large, skillfully made barbecues with elements of artistic forging; you can’t even call them barbecues, rather, they are mini-fireplaces. If you want to stylishly furnish your barbecue, and you only have a small portable grill at your disposal, focus not on the hearth itself, but on the design of the area and the accompanying “accessories” and structures: for example, an original firewood box, or storage for accessories. However, the barbecues themselves are now “designer”.

Pay attention to the photo of a barbecue on the site: in addition to all the well-known simple models that people traditionally go out into nature with, there are stylish models in the form of large funnels, there are those that resemble tables, and there are generally “art objects” that immediately attract attention, and such that Even very skillfully made classic fireplaces pale in comparison with them

Getting started: laying out the foundation

The weight of a stationary brick grill can reach several hundred kilograms. Such weight requires the construction of a reliable foundation. Step-by-step instructions will help you make a concrete base for the barbecue. It is also recommended to study photos of projects containing drawings and dimensions.

Foundation

What foundation should I choose for the barbecue area? It is recommended to use a combined option. A strip base is suitable for the walls of the brazier, but for the structure itself it is best to choose a monolithic slab made of concrete. This solution will not only save money, but also the time it will take to install the structure at the dacha.

Note! When pouring the foundation, it is worth remembering that its dimensions must be larger than the dimensions of the fryer. The monolithic slab must have boundaries protruding beyond the structure by approximately 5 cm.

Furniture

When thinking about how to create a cozy relaxation area in your country house, focus on finding suitable furniture. Consider its location, the functional load it should bear, and the theme of the equipped recreation area.

If you like a more original approach, pay attention to furniture made of stone. But this option requires careful consideration of the surroundings and combination with other decorative items.. Take into account the fact that sitting on a stone for a long time is harmful and quite cold

It is better to use stone in table decoration - such a product will serve you for decades.

Wicker furniture can be used anywhere; in a summer cottage it will be appropriate in any corner. Undoubted advantages - wicker furniture is very beautiful, you can buy it inexpensively without any problems, moreover, it is light and easy to move. It can only fall into disrepair in heavy rain, so you should not place such furniture in the open air.

Kitchen gazebo with barbecue:

Kitchen with sauna and terrace

In addition to the house and garage, it is possible to fit several additional buildings on a small plot if they are combined. This is exactly the option shown in the image below. Here the closed kitchen is combined with a bath complex and a terrace. Such projects of summer kitchens with barbecue and oven allow you to create very comfortable multifunctional recreation areas.

By combining a kitchen and a bathhouse, the work on connecting communications is made easier and cheaper. It is easier to connect one object on a site to the water supply and sewer system than 2 or 3. This layout option eliminates the need to provide the kitchen with a separate bathroom - you can use the one located in the bathhouse complex.

Multifunctional buildings are completely autonomous. They can be built quite far from the main residential building. And one more advantage - the bath complex can be designed without a rest room, since this role will be played by the kitchen and terrace.

Simple square kitchen

In summer cottages for seasonal recreation, summer kitchens are usually built with the simplest design and construction. So, in the following example, we can consider the option with elementary zoning. The layout provides for wide glazing on three sides.

Such a kitchen can be either free-standing or attached. In the second case, it will be adjacent to the house with a facade that has no windows. A bathhouse, garage, barn or any other building can be attached to the same facade.

Kitchen gazebo

The easiest option to set up a summer place for barbecuing is to build a wooden gazebo and equip it with a stove with a chimney. Gazebos with a summer kitchen and barbecue, the designs of which are quite diverse, look great in any landscape design. This example shows a hexagonal structure made of stone and wood.

A compact gazebo will take up minimal space on the site. However, it can easily accommodate a dining table and chairs or benches. A barbecue stove with a chimney will allow you to cook over a fire right in the gazebo. There is even provision for installing a compact sink next to the stove.
