Summer kitchen in the country

By building your own home, everyone wants to make it as comfortable and comfortable as possible. It doesn't matter if the interior is decorated in the same style or not. The main thing is for the family to feel comfortable. Any room in the house has its own special purpose, however, the kitchen was and remains the storage place of the hearth.

In a private house, country, cottage provide a place where they store food, kitchen utensils, wash dishes, prepare food. Without the kitchen can not do. But in the summer, when the heat comes, it is time to twist, is unbearably in the house. It is much more pleasant to spend time in the fresh air, to carry out your activities under a canopy in a vented building. Understanding this situation, weighing all the pros and cons, many owners construct summer kitchens on their site.

Summer kitchen - variations and benefits

Having made a decision to erect a structure, it is necessary to determine its type, choose a location, think over a temporary period of operation, cooking will take place in the warm season or continuously, regardless of seasonality. Consider the possible types of street structure:

  1. Open. It is a construction in the form similar to a gazebo, a shed, under the roof of which all necessary attributes are located (table, chairs, gas stove, sink, refrigerator). Differs complete or partial lack of walls. Such a structure has a simple structure, it can be quickly built with minimal cost, due to the natural circulation of air there will be no extraneous smells. The room has drawbacks: it can only be used in the spring and summer, when the air is warm and warm enough around; with the onset of cold weather, most items will have to be removed from the street.
  2. Closed. Capital construction. It has walls and windows. During its construction, the engineering infrastructure is provided: lighting, water supply, electricity, sewage, heating. Such measures allow the use of the building all year round. In addition, the pavilion can have not only a standard gas stove, many install fireplaces, stoves. Such a structure will cost significantly more expensive than open.
  3. Combined. The building combines open and closed space under the common roof. Food is prepared in a protected room, and the platform for meals is located in the open air. It is comfortable to rest here. There are drawbacks - this is the most costly, constructively complex project.

According to the method of location on the kitchen area are divided into two types:

  • Freestanding. Removed from home. Built in the presence of a large area of ​​the house adjoining. This location does not allow smoke and odors to penetrate into the home.
  • Adjoining the house. They have a common wall with the main structure. A good option is the location of the extension on the terrace, porch, communication with the house is very convenient. There are drawbacks to this neighborhood: the aroma of cooking food, the heat enters the main building; part of the summer kitchen serves as a passage to the house. To avoid this, the kitchen must be attached on the front side.

    

Choosing a location

Having decided on the appearance, having made a firm decision to build a summer kitchen on their own plot, they proceed to search for the optimal place that it will occupy. Unsuccessful placement will complicate construction, will lead to inconvenience in the operation of the object. To make the right choice, you should consider the following nuances:

  • Remoteness from home. The closer the object, the easier and cheaper to carry out all the necessary communications. It is easier for inhabitants to move between buildings located nearby. Of course, from an aesthetic point of view, built in the garden, near the fountain, an artificial reservoir, the structure looks spectacular, but walking three times a day for eating at the other end of the site is not very comfortable.
  • Lack of extraneous odors. In each private courtyard there are additional buildings, without which it can not do, but they do not always emanate pleasant aromas. When choosing a place, it is necessary to remove as much as possible from the open-air cage with animals, the shed, the street needles, the sewer well, and other sources with an unpleasant smell.
  • When planning an open, half-open kitchen, consideration should be given to protection from wind and sunlight. Dense crown of trees will protect against natural factors. You can also plant climbing ampelous plants.
  • Fire safety. Flammable items and buildings should not be around. If open fire is used, the distance to such objects should be from 8 meters.

When placed on the kitchen stove with a barbecue grill, it should be removed from the adjacent area so that the smoke does not cause a conflict.

    

Deciding on a kitchen project

Convenience, practicality, functionality, aesthetics - the qualities that this extension should have, which the owner expects from it. The project of the summer kitchen is of great importance. Everything in it is painted to the smallest detail, from a single part to the final structure as a whole. You can take a ready-made plan, turning to professionals, to try yourself in the role of a designer.

Work begins with a drawing, creating a layout. Everything is taken into account: the foundation, flooring, facade, roof, the presence of windows, doors. Provides lighting, sewer communications, gas inlet. After the project is made planning the internal situation. We consider the design of the building, which should be combined with the general buildings, not to disturb the surrounding landscape. Building materials are selected the same as for a residential house.

The design phase includes the location of the object on a common site, the calculation of the size of the structure, the number of materials for construction, the possibility of using the building year-round or seasonally. An important role is played by the budget allocated to this venture, which can make its own adjustments.

    

Design and design of summer kitchen

The aesthetic side is as important as the functionality of the building. Of course, it should not contradict the design of the house, but it all comes down to the preferences of the owner. If desired, it can be made an accent of the entire area.

Arrangement of construction begins with a carefully thought-out design. The original structure will delight guests, delight households, especially women, who spend a lot of time here. Elegant rooms are made in the following styles:

  • Russian. Outside, the building resembles a solid log hut. The main attraction is the stove. Inside they have massive, roughly treated wood furniture, which, as a rule, has no upholstery.
  • Provence. The decoration is made of wood, which is intentionally given an aged look. Internal colors - beige, white. Used forged items. On the walls are characteristic paintings. They are chosen by people who are tired of ostentatious luxury, who want to recreate a romantic rural life in the interior.
  • Country Most often used for combined structures, designed in the style of the house of the North American farmer. Differs modest finish, natural color palette. Use only furniture, decoration, dishes from natural materials - wood, stone, glass, aluminum, copper. Differs in the abundance of textiles, handmade items.

There are many styles of design, often found: Mediterranean, Scandinavian, Oriental, minimalism, ecostyle, and others.

    

Building an open summer kitchen in the home

The construction is built on the principle of a canopy, gazebos. It is a support beams installed on the base, covered with roofing material from above. You can build an open object yourself. There are lots of ways to build, however, everything is as follows in stages:

  • The choice of location, drafting, preparation of tools, building materials;
  • The layout of the selected site, its preparation;
  • Foundation casting;
  • Installation of bearing beams, supports;
  • Installation of the roof;
  • Interior decoration, communications engineering;
  • Installing appropriate furniture;
  • The construction of approaches in the form of paths, trails, at a distance from the house.

     

Foundation and its types

Before starting to fill the foundation, the site selected for construction is leveled and all extraneous is removed. Next, make the markup, which begins with a peg hammered into the ground, symbolizing the angle of the future building. It serves as a reference point from which lines are laid perpendicularly to each other, to the next corners. Next, stretch the string between them, measure the length of the diagonals. Designating the area of ​​construction, proceed to the base.

    

The summer kitchen is built on a strip, columnar, monolithic foundation. For example, a column base is enough for wooden walls, and a brick base for a tape base. If you plan to place: a Russian stove, barbecue grill, barbecue - pour a monolithic foundation, which some owners use as floor. Let us consider in detail each type and method of filling it:

  • Columnar. For small buildings the size of 2x3 meters, it is enough to dig at the corners of the marking pit up to one meter deep. Their diameter will depend on the materials used for the foundation. Sand and crushed stone are poured down to the bottom and compacted. You can put a sewer plastic pipe, pour concrete, inside or on top of the post will be placed bearing beam; or lay a square out of a brick, with a metal profile, a rod, a pile installed inside the masonry. The height of the foundation is determined by the level, usually it is a stretched twine.
  • Ribbon. By marking, a trench is dug up to a depth of 60 cm and a width of 40 cm. Formwork is installed on each side, a reinforcing layer is laid. Top poured concrete solution.
  • Monolithic. The top layer of soil is removed to a depth of 30 cm. Geotextiles are laid over the entire area, sand is poured, over the rubble. Further, the sequence of pouring occurs according to the analogue with a strip foundation.

    

Let down communications

Without engineering communications, the summer kitchen will be a defective structure. After all, when cooking, you will need a gas stove, a wood-burning stove, in the dark you cannot do without electricity, and after each meal there are mountains of dishes that need to be cleaned. Let us consider in detail how to make a functional room.

Plumbing and drainage system

Wiring for water can be done independently. The source is a centralized and decentralized water supply system. Depending on the distance of the object from the house, the pipes can be pulled directly from it, connected to the common system, or a well can be drilled and a pump can be installed.

For the open kitchen is quite suitable summer water supply, which is used only in warm weather. It can be collapsible and stationary. The first is characterized by quick assembly and disassembly, located on the surface. The second is laid underground at a shallow depth. Consists of a thick-walled rubber hose, plastic pipes. In the winter the water is drained.

In addition to the examples described, as a source of water use: wells; natural, artificial reservoirs; collected in the tank rainwater. However, the fluid in them is dirty, has a lot of impurities, and therefore requires special cleaning, filtering.

Another thing is with sewage. Connect to the house will be more difficult. For water flow requires a certain slope. Therefore, they dig a drain pit next to it, install a septic tank, and concrete rings. The pipes are placed underground, therefore, for a kitchen with a monolithic concrete base, they are placed during the construction of the foundation. The release of sewage from the kitchen is done at a depth of at least thirty centimeters.

Electricity

Work begins with the preparation of a general scheme of power supply facility. The layout of the wires and wiring devices should be marked on the drawing. For a summer kitchen attached to the house, it is much easier to conduct electricity, it is enough to connect an electrical point in the house with a cable in the extension.

A stand-alone facility requires a power cord in accordance with safety standards. For example, if grounding is provided at the outlet, then a three-core cable must be laid to it, one wire of which will be grounding.

Cable wiring can be done in two ways: by air; underground. The second option is the most reliable. It protects the wire from precipitation, mechanical damage. The depth of the line should be more than seventy cm. Near the building, the cable goes outside and winds up into a shield. The final stage will be wiring to the electrical points.

Natural gas

If the plumbing and electricity can still be spent independently, then with natural gas the situation is much more complicated. To gasify the summer kitchen, you should contact the gas supply service. They must issue a new gasification project for the site. In this case, only capital structures are considered. You can connect informally, but if you find a violation of responsibility does not leave.

Having collected the required documents, to carry out natural gas is not difficult. Experienced technicians who usually connect the kitchen to the centralized gas supply system are usually invited for the installation work.

An alternative to natural gas can be a gas cylinder. Its installation and replacement must also be carried out by qualified craftsmen, observing all the requirements of fire safety regulations.

Erection of support and installation of a canopy

Bearing supports can be made of brick, stone, wood, metal pipes, profiles, concrete columns. There are combined designs. Installed on the foundation at the intended angles of the erected structure. Wooden and metal supports can be filled with concrete, i.e. partly located in the foundation, with a necessary right angle. When constructing a shed roof height of the beams do different, depending on the angle of the roof. Gables, chetyrehskatnye - based on a proportionately high support. The upper edges of the pillars are tied with strapping, over which set the truss legs.

The next step will be the installation of the roof. In an outdoor structure does not require roof insulation. But you can install a waterproofing layer, which is placed on the rafters. Then they mount the crate, proceed to the fastening of the roofing material, which is represented by a metal tile, metal profile, slate, polycarbonate, and other materials.

    
    

Floor device

There are many options for arranging the floor. As a flooring, you can use a concrete slab, floor, decking, clapboard, clinker bricks, paving, ceramic tiles. For each type of building material has its own design.

If the monolithic foundation is poured, you can use it as a floor covering. The best option is ceramic tile. It is most suitable for the kitchen. Easy to clean, neutral to temperature changes. Before laying it prepare the base, it should be smooth. The best base is a concrete screed, but you can use wood, chipboard. Further the marking is put, glue is mixed, laying is made. To align the seams, cross the corners of the tiles.

Clinker bricks, paving slabs are laid on a prepared foundation consisting of compacted rubble and sand. Flooring, decking is attached to the wooden floor logs, crate.

Arrangement of stationary brazier or stove

To install the stove requires a capital base. In the summer kitchen it is rational to build a multifunctional, complex construction, which includes a brazier, a brazier, a tandoor, a cauldron, a fireplace, a smokehouse, a woodsheds. Furnace arrangement should be provided for in the project of the erected structure.

You can build a roaster with your own hands. To do this, you need to prepare a tool to buy building materials. Wait until the foundation has stood, completely hardened. Next to him fit waterproofing (roofing material, covered with plastic wrap). Then you can build brick walls. Step by step procedure is as follows:

  • Plastic film lightly sprinkled with sand. On top of the entire plane is laid dry brick. Only the joints between the rows are lubricated with a solution;
  • Lay out the base;
  • Further the partition for drovnitsa becomes, construction of walls proceeds;
  • A barbecue is installed over the partition; a barbecue net;
  • The final stage is the installation of the hood.

    
    
    
  

Chimney construction

The stove and chimney is built only of refractory bricks. This design quickly removes smoke, is easy to maintain, heats less metal, has an excellent design. The hood can be lined only with bricks, contain a metal dome inside, surrounded by a cygel. A damper is installed in the lower part and a protective umbrella protecting it from atmospheric precipitation from above.

In order for the chimney to perform all its functions, take into account its features. The upper point should be at a height of more than three meters from ground level. Go beyond the roof. From the height of the pipe directly depends on thrust. The shape of the hood affects the optimal internal size. Для круглой трубы диаметр должен составлять более 15 см, для квадратного дымопровода подойдет диагональ, превышающая 35 см.

Особенности постройки закрытой кухни

The variety of enclosed buildings is large. Site preparation, foundation casting, frame installation, roofing are identical to open objects. The main difference is the presence of full walls. For their construction suitable brick, foam block, laminated veneer lumber, other materials. Consider the option of building a closed-type kitchen on the example of the construction of the log house.

The most convenient design of the frame bottom trim consists of two rows of bars, shot down with each other, mounted on a columnar foundation. For the beginning, the beams are processed by machine oil, then dried. When laying using the method of cutting into a corner, when the contact edges of the bars come into each other. In the beams of the top row cut out the grooves lag overlap.

Next, proceed to the arrangement of the mortgage crown (bottom row). The thickest logs are selected. Bottom, in the place of adhesion to the strapping, wooden decks are scaled to the maximum contact. After stack the remaining rows of logs. Between them provides insulation (moss, felt). A lock connection can be: "in the bowl", "in the paw", chopping, Finnish log house, Swedish castle and others. Mauerlat - the upper crown, is a support for the roof.

    

Planning and arrangement

In the private courtyard is designed a summer kitchen design, which aesthetically corresponds to the main residential building. At the same time in the country do not use the strict style binding of one building to another.

Having built a summer kitchen, proceed to the arrangement of the room. To do this, perform interior trim. For example, you can sheathe walls with plastic, plasterboard, clapboard. Next, install the furniture, connect electricity, i.e. make the building functional. So, to make the kitchen space suitable for life, you need:

Equipment

In order for the building to become a kitchen, it must be equipped with the appropriate equipment. The main kitchen equipment is:

  • Cooking surface, oven, stove;
  • Sink for dishes;
  • Refrigerator for food storage;
  • Exhaust hood;
  • Auxiliary devices: meat grinder, microwave, mixer, steamer, other items.

Furniture selection and zoning

The type of furniture will depend on the type of the structure under consideration. For open structures suitable items without a soft finish that absorbs moisture. Use chairs, benches, table, made of wood or plastic. There are no restrictions for closed rooms. Here it will look great soft dining set, sofa for rest.

If the kitchen and dining room are not separated by a partition, often zoning the room. To do this, you can make the floor of different building materials, paint the walls in two colors, to equip the podium. You can also use a screen, furniture. Often use the bar, like those that are installed in the cafe. She perfectly divides the room into workspace and recreation area.

    

Lighting

Light the space correctly is very important. If the room is small, attached to the house or cottage, then quite a few lamps and street lighting of the residential building will be enough. For large buildings, whether frame kitchens or buildings of a closed type, one lamp or a central chandelier is indispensable. Provision should be made for:

  • General lighting. Located in the center of the room or above the table for eating. Standard, flat chandeliers are used;
  • Highlighting the work area. The place where the dough is kneaded, the meat products are cut, and the potatoes are peeled, you must additionally be equipped with fairly bright lamps. They are placed on the bottom of wall cabinets, in the form of LED strips, or installed floor lamps;
  • Highlighting the dining area. First of all, the position of the table relative to the window is taken into account. It does not require too bright light. Enough wall sconces, lamps with adjustable suspension.

In addition to these types, you can install decorative lighting, it is intended solely for interior decoration.

    

Gardening - the selection and planting of plants

The object will look more impressive if you plant it. For this purpose it is best to use climbing plants. It is necessary that they have an attractive appearance, exude a good aroma, trudging along the walls, creating additional comfort, protection from the sun's rays. Consider the options for the most suitable plants for the summer kitchen:

  • Wild grapes;
  • Wisteria (Wisteria);
  • Ampelnye varieties of strawberries;
  • Lomonos (Clematis);
  • Hop;
  • Shizandra.

Perennial flowers, bushes, dwarf trees can be planted around. For each style a characteristic set of vegetation is selected.

    

Conclusion

Build a summer kitchen with their own hands on their own plot, giving everyone the power. The difficulty may arise when conducting natural gas, but everything is solved. Depending on the desire, disposable funds can be built both open and closed structure. To give the food a natural, natural flavor, install a stove, tandoor, grill, observing all safety regulations. Being in such a room is comfortable, pleasant.
