See how an example of a solution to the design of a summer kitchen in a private house in the photo, which shows the aesthetic subtleties and options for various solutions.
Finishing option inside the kitchen (photo)
Meanwhile, the design of a summer kitchen in the country can be radically different from a house and represent a completely different style in which the landscape design is sustained.
This page provides advice and presents the design of a summer kitchen in the country in the photo in a wide variety, which will allow you to choose a suitable option for finishing inside and outside the structure.
The interior decoration of the kitchen depends solely on the imagination and financial capabilities of the owners. It should be remembered that the design of the summer kitchen should be combined with other buildings on the site. It is best if they are all finished with the same materials and in the same color scheme.
First, the interior decoration of the floor, walls and ceiling is carried out, then the kitchen equipment and furniture are arranged, and, finally, the interior decoration is completed with the help of various decorative elements - curtains, vases, figurines, homemade figurines, masks, panels, lighting fixtures, etc.
Finishing a summer kitchen begins with the preparation of project documentation and the selection of suitable materials. The walls of a closed-type summer kitchen from the inside can be sheathed with boards, slats, wood sheets (fiberboard, chipboard, etc.), clapboard made of wood or drywall, which can later be painted in any color. You can use more colorful materials, such as decorative stone or brick, or combine different materials - for example, sheathe most of the walls with plasterboard, and lay out the place designated for installing a stove or barbecue with artificial stone, etc.
Look at the finish of the summer kitchen in the photo: a variety of works can be carried out inside and outside.
The interior decoration of the summer kitchen also affects the ceiling, which can also be sheathed with boards and covered with a layer of drying oil or use drywall, painting it to match the walls or simply whitening.
Beams and crossbars look good as a design for ceilings. They simultaneously serve as a decorative function and serve to strengthen the structure and support the roof. In addition, beams can also serve as a place for laying various communications on the ceiling, for example, wiring. Crossbars and beams are made in both indoor and outdoor summer kitchens.
Ceiling beams used to be a common feature in village houses, and were also used in the decoration of state rooms in palaces, theaters and museums. In the latter case, these were decorations in the form of a convex geometric ornament made of stucco or using precious woods.
Of course, the interior decoration of a summer kitchen can be simple, it is not at all necessary to resort to such delights, but even simple wooden beams and beams covered with varnish or dark brown paint will give the room a solid look.
The installation of beams and crossbars is not so difficult, especially if you have at least a little experience with wood. Using this technique in the design of the kitchen, you should take into account the general style of the room. Such semi-antique details will look ridiculous when combined with ultra-modern kitchen furniture and equipment. Although even in this case, you can come up with a special design for the beams, corresponding to the general situation, thanks to the interesting color and shape.
For finishing the ceiling in the summer kitchen, you can use chipboard instead of solid wood, which will simplify and reduce the cost of work. Then it will be possible to glue natural veneer made of spruce, beech or oak onto the finished beams, and this finish can be used in other interior items to maintain the unity of style.
On a note!
Before installing the beams, the ceiling must be prepared by sheathing it with plasterboard and covering it with light paint. To fasten the beams, you will need nails, reliable wood glue, a saw, an accurate ruler, a square and, of course, the material itself, such as a wood board.
Since the beams have a complex box-like structure and must be nailed to the ceiling in a certain order, you must first think over their location, calculate and mark their position and draw a sketch indicating the dimensions of the parts. With a low ceiling in the room, beams can only be placed in the openings of windows and doors, which will create a contrast with the recesses, visually expanding the space. In a room with a high ceiling, beams can be installed on the ceiling or slightly below, fixing them to the walls and ceiling.
For the construction of beams, you will need a beam with a section of 12 X 15 cm, the length of which depends on the length of the room. In a large room, you can make larger beams.
In the middle of the ceiling or slightly to the side of it on the ceiling, it is required to mark the location of the central beam, and then the position of the parallel and cross beams. In the same order, the beams will be mounted to the ceiling - first the central one, then the rest.
Small planks should be nailed to the central beam on the sides at an equal distance from one another and the assembled frame should be nailed to the ceiling with nails. Then you need to attach the side panels to the small side planks, and at the end - the last bar from the bottom, covering the box beam. For fixing parts other than nails, you can use wood glue.
After that, you need to assemble and nail the parallel beams to the ceiling, and when they are ready, cut and assemble the crossbeams between the long beams (if any will be present in the project at all). All parts must be carefully fitted, securely fastened together and attached to the ceiling. The slots must be sealed with either putty or thin profile strips, which will allow masking the slots and giving the structure a special expressiveness.
The finished structure can be coated with varnish, paint, special foil or veneer.
Interior design of a summer kitchen inside (with photo)
Having completed the interior design of the summer kitchen, you can proceed to the installation of equipment - first of all, a gas or electric stove (if a grill or, then the foundation for them must be prepared even at the stage of building the foundation, and the outlet pipe is mounted at the same time as the roof). Then a sink is installed, to which the water supply and drain systems must be connected in advance. Thinking over the interior of the summer kitchen, it is worth considering that there must be a desktop. If a barbecue oven is being built, the work surface is provided for by its design. Also, the kitchen must have a dining table and chairs, armchairs or benches - if desired.
All furnishings must match the overall style of the kitchen. If the main decoration of the summer kitchen and interior design is the stove, the decoration can be done in the ethno style. In this case, various forged items, wood carvings, pottery, wooden table, chairs and other items to complement the overall composition will be appropriate.
Accessories are selected depending on the style of the kitchen. You can decorate the interior with various original textile items, pillows, carved decor, flowerpots with flowers, forged items, decorative ceramics, etc. The main thing is that all this is combined with the general style. There are several main directions in the design of the kitchen interior, corresponding to a certain style.
The styles used in the interior design of the outdoor kitchen are numerous and include some of the following.
Look at the interior of the summer kitchen in the photo, which presents options in a wide variety of styles.

High tech - this is a modern, far from nature style, a little coldish, but distinguished by a certain grace. It is characterized by cold colors and shades, stainless steel or polymer coated furniture. Such kitchen furniture is functional, waterproof, resistant to mechanical damage and UV rays. In such a kitchen, an appropriate interior decoration is also required using modern materials and unusual, trendy designs and combinations.

The interior must have wooden furniture, wood elements (photo)
The Provence style is as close as possible to the natural natural style. The interior should have wooden furniture, wood elements in the wall and ceiling cladding. Bright kitchen towels, house dolls, photographs with rustic motifs, ceramic pots, antique tablecloths, carved figures of wood or dough, draped furniture covers are appropriate, as well as many plants - in pots, tubs, flowerpots, etc. Kitchen cabinets, table and chairs are better to choose from classic teak wood, treated with a special protective water-repellent impregnation. You can also use wicker furniture.
African style in the summer kitchen (photo)

African style - these are various exotic amulets, curtains made of beads, ethnic masks, rock paintings, animal skins, etc. Furniture should also fit such an interior - these can be low trestle beds, armchairs and even sofas, but with ornamental upholstery in African style.
The summer kitchen provides plenty of room for experimentation.

So that the food is tasty, and the process of its preparation itself is not tedious, it is necessary. If there is a specially designed room for cooking in an apartment or a private house, then in the country, which is usually a small building, you have to go to various tricks. You can set aside a small area in the house for the kitchen, but in the heat it is rather uncomfortable to cook something in a cramped room. That is why many people prefer to arrange summer kitchens in the country, the projects and photos of which we will consider in this review. We will also talk about some of the nuances of self-construction, design and materials used.

What is a summer kitchen and its types
The summer kitchen at the summer cottage is a freestanding or designed for cooking and relaxation. Depending on the type of building, it can be used only in a warm season or all year round. An outdoor kitchen can be open or closed.
Open summer kitchens
Open-type country kitchens, or, as they are simply called, summer ones, are a structure of 1-3 walls with a canopy and outwardly very similar. This type of kitchen has its advantages:
- simplicity of design, which allows you to build it within 1-2 days;
- low cost;
- lack of stuffiness, odors and burning typical for kitchens in the house.
The disadvantages include:
- use only in the warm season;
- equipment and furnishings have to be cleaned for the cold season;
- you can not leave food for a long time.
Combining a summer kitchen with a veranda or terrace at home
The easiest option in the country is to equip it on. Ideally, if the extension already exists, otherwise you will have to first build it and only then equip the place for cooking, eating and resting. Ideally, the veranda and the main building will have a single and glazed walls.
Open structure attached to the building
You can equip the kitchen on the site adjacent to the "blank" wall of the building. To do this, you must first level the ground, lay and install or an awning. Having prepared the place, you can place it on the site with or, barbecue or barbecue.
You can protect yourself from drafts by installing removable or sliding ones, as well as using roller blinds or tarpaulins. Also, large decorative pots are often installed in the openings, which provide additional coolness on a hot day. This kitchen option is much simpler and cheaper than the others, but if the soil subsides, the kitchen can tilt.
Open kitchen-gazebo for a summer residence
A good option for an open kitchen, especially if installation is planned, or for a pleasant pastime with family and friends. This design is also convenient for handling the harvested crop.
Since this is a stationary structure, then you will need an arrangement - columnar or tape. The type of base depends on the material from which the gazebo will be built. The supporting structure can be made of metal profile, stone or brick, and the roof can be made of or ondulin. One wall must be closed, preferably from the side of the prevailing winds. Openings can be closed with roller blinds, curtains or lattice panels.
Closed summer kitchen in the country: projects and photos
A closed kitchen is a capital structure, erected separately, attached to a house or any structure located on. In such a building, you can cook, eat or relax with friends at any time of the year, regardless of the weather outside. Indoor summer kitchens have, and. They can be installed ordinary, fireplaces, barbecues or barbecue. Also, pavilions with a kitchen are equipped with utility rooms. In principle, this is a full-fledged house in which guests can even stay overnight.
Where to start building a kitchen in the country
Before building a summer kitchen on your site, you need to decide on a number of questions. In particular, you need to decide for yourself:
- How often the building will be used: only in summer or all year round (the type of construction depends on this).
- Dimensions. From this parameter it is envy whether the room will be used only for cooking, family dinners, harvest processing or for evening gatherings by a large company.
- Will be installed grill or barbecue.
- What is the expected design of the exterior and interior.
- The location of the kitchen. Will it be a free-standing structure or will it be attached to the main building? How far it will be from communications and the roadway.
- Budget.
Choosing a kitchen design in the country: photo projects
Basically, the design of a country kitchen is not determined by any norms, but by a personal idea of \u200b\u200bits appearance and functionality. However, few people can clearly imagine whether the chosen project will be comfortable and successful. Therefore, we have compiled a collection of the most successful summer kitchen options, photos of which are presented at the very end of our review. Like any room in the house, the summer kitchen has its own functional areas: a work and a dining room. In accordance with this, the design development is carried out.
Summer kitchen design: dining area
When arranging the dining area in the summer kitchen, you must first take into account the maximum number of people that can be accommodated for, and not on weekdays, but on holidays. The minimum size of the dining area should be 3 × 3 m 2. A standard set of furniture includes benches or. For an open kitchen in the dining area, it is better not to use it, since dampness will quickly ruin the upholstery. Sofas would also be ideal.
Summer kitchen with barbecue: working area
Since the working area is designed for comfortable cooking, it should include the mandatory elements:
- or a gas stove;
- cabinet with for cutting food and cooking;
- cabinets for kitchen utensils.
You can supplement this set either with a barbecue, or with a fireplace in the dining area.
Do-it-yourself summer kitchen in the country: we decide on the material
Depending on the design and type of summer kitchen, the material is also selected. If this is the simplest open building, then you can make a frame from a metal profile and an awning. In the event that the kitchen is set up in a pavilion, then you will need brick, stone or wood. For capital structures, you will need to arrange the foundation, which means that you will have to fork out for for pouring. Consider several options for summer kitchens from different materials.
Brick summer kitchen
When building a summer kitchen, it can be used for the construction of support pillars, a protective partition (open type), walls, stove, fireplace, barbecue, fences, etc. (semi-closed and closed type). For the main structure, ordinary or is used, and for hearths - refractory. In some cases, the material is specially coated with a transparent protective layer.
Wooden summer kitchen from a bar
Just like brick, it is used for the construction of open, semi-closed or closed summer kitchens. This material is mainly used to make support posts and strapping. Sometimes summer kitchens are made entirely of timber, but this option is good if other buildings in the country are made of the same material. Such designs look massive and are not cheap.
Kitchen attached to the bath The nuances of using other materials for construction
For walls, in addition to brick and timber, natural stone, polycarbonate, glass, corrugated board, metal-plastic panels, etc. can be used. Clapboard is used as a finishing material. When arranging the floor, paving slabs, wood or stone are used. It all depends on the interior design and budget.
A combination of glass, metal, polycarbonate, wood and plywood How to build a closed summer kitchen with your own hands: the main stages
To build a kitchen without any problems, you need to split the work into several stages and follow the recommendations given. First of all, a location is selected and clearing is performed. Next, you need to create. After the base is ready, you can proceed with the construction of walls and the device. The last stage is the implementation of interior decoration.
Summer kitchen plan Choosing a place for construction
In order for the kitchen to look harmonious on the territory of the dacha, it is necessary to choose the place correctly. The building must meet the following requirements:
- optimal distance from the main entrance to the house;
- maximum distance from street, cesspools, places of detention, etc.;
- the distance from the kitchen to the roadway must be such that noise and exhaust gases can reach it;
- availability for water supply, and.
Comment
The head of the team of the repair and construction company "Dom Premium"
Ask a Question« When building a country kitchen, you need to take into account the proximity of groundwater to the surface of the earth, the relief, the presence of trees nearby and the wind prevailing in the area. "
Site clearance and foundation arrangement
After the place of construction and the project of the summer house have been chosen, you can proceed to clearing the place and the device. It depends on the design what kind of foundation you have to do. It is possible to build a country kitchen without a foundation, for example, if it consists of four supports with an awning installed on a concrete site. For kitchens of a closed type, made of stone or, as a rule, they arrange a strip foundation, and light or wooden structures are erected on a columnar base. We will consider for a closed kitchen:
- To begin with, we clear the selected place from grass and shrubs, carefully removing all the roots.
- We make markings according to the size of the future kitchen (drive in the pegs in the corners and pull the twine between them).
- Dig holes along the perimeter with dimensions of 300 × 300 × 700 mm or a trench 300 mm wide and 700 mm deep.
- Creation of sand and crushed stone with a thickness of 200 mm.
- Preparation of concrete mortar and pouring of pillars and platforms (concrete hardening can last from a week to one month). If it is decided to arrange a strip foundation, then you need to make OBS from boards, or slabs, put it on both sides of the trench, and pour concrete.
Note! When erecting a light open kitchen, it is recommended to raise the floor level above the ground to a height of at least 70 mm so that the room will not be flooded during rain.
Walling
Regardless of whether there are walls or not, the support pillars will still have to be erected, since the roof of the summer kitchen will be installed on them. For supports, a metal profile, brick, stone, or rounded logs are used. You can erect main walls with doorways and doorways, and this will be a full-fledged house in which you can spend time even in winter, especially if done. The summer kitchen also looks beautiful, in which metal-plastic frames with double-glazed windows are placed between the supports. You can make frame and cladding from lining (wooden or plastic), corrugated board or siding.
Summer kitchen roof device
The cover is a very important element of any structure, as it protects from wind and various precipitation. For a summer cottage kitchen, you can choose a flat or lean-to, which is an inexpensive and easy-to-install option. The gable roof is more durable and reliable. There is another option - a hipped roof.
Note! The long overhang of the roof will well protect the walls and basement of the building from the destructive effects of precipitation.
Interior decoration and decor
After the box or frame is made and the roof is mounted, you can proceed to the interior decoration of the room. Wooden walls and ceiling must be impregnated with a special antiseptic and moisture-repellent composition, after which it can be varnished.
Do not forget about the surrounding area. Along the perimeter of the kitchen, you can arrange tall or climbing plants, arrange paths of sand or stone, and install garden lamps (a good idea is solar-powered lighting).
Do-it-yourself construction of a very simple summer kitchen
Consider how to independently build a simple but functional closed-type summer kitchen in your country house. First, you need to draw up a drawing indicating all dimensions, prepare the material and the appropriate tools.
| Illustration | Action Description | |
  | First of all, we clear the place for the building, make markings with pegs and twine, and determine where the foundation piles will be located. In our case, we get 12 of them. With the help of a garden or home-made drill, we make holes for piles. | |
 | Next, we make "glasses" (galvanized waste, old plastic buckets, etc. are suitable) and a reinforcing grid or mesh. We insert them into the drilled hole and fill them with concrete. The depth of the pile pit is made in the range of 700-800 mm, and the diameter is 300 mm. In order for the base to serve for a long time, it must freeze from a week to a month. | |
  | Lay a layer of roofing material waterproofing on the finished posts. Next, on the piles, we carry out the lower strapping from a bar. | |
  | We install vertical supports, fasten them together with transverse beams and make the upper strapping of the posts. Next, we mount a gable roof on the finished frame. | We install door and window frames. We make the windows semi-folding. |
  | In order for the building to serve for a long time, it is imperative to treat it with antiseptic and water-repellent compounds. You can give a beautiful external and internal look to the structure by covering it with wood stain and varnish for outdoor use. | So, our summer kitchen is ready. We set a bench nearby, lay paths and you can decorate it with plants. |
As you can see, it is quite possible to build a kitchen in your country house. If you have little experience in construction, then it is better to choose a shed roof option.
The cost of a summer kitchen for a turnkey dacha
After reading this article, many will have a question: a summer kitchen in the country is good, but what is the price of the issue? The cost of construction depends on which option you prefer - do everything yourself with your own hands or order a ready-made collapsible structure from a construction company. If the choice is made in favor of the latter option, then the simplest summer kitchen made of timber and measuring 3 × 3 m costs at least 45,000 rubles. To determine the cost of a self-built structure, you just need to calculate the cost of the necessary materials, delivery and time costs.
A few words in conclusion
A summer kitchen should be in every summer cottage, since it is possible not only to comfortably prepare food on a hot day and to dine with the whole family, but also to gather in the evenings in a close company of friends. We told you what types of summer kitchens are, what can be used for construction and how you can build them yourself. We hope our article will help you when you decide to start building a kitchen in your country house. If you still have any questions, then ask our experts, and they will be happy to answer them. We offer you to see photos of kitchens in the country, made by yourself, perhaps you will find something interesting for yourself and want to implement it on your site.
Today, a summer kitchen has become a welcome building in a private house or in the country. Let's discuss the topic of how to decorate a summer kitchen. It all depends on the location of the building, the functions that you want to give it, except for cooking.
Summer kitchens by type of location are:
- Detached building;
- Attached to the house Are usually awnings connected to the building.
By the way of construction:
- Closed type - a small kitchen building made of stone, wood and other materials.
- Open type - a platform under a lean-to canopy or made in the form of a gazebo. You can leave one wall open, and lay the rest, for example, with bricks and finish. To improve the interior, one of the walls can be made of glass blocks - an additional source of daylight.
In addition, it should be noted that if the kitchen is intended only for cooking, then it should not be located far from home. Otherwise, you will only "wind" kilometers, carrying groceries and ready-made food into the house.
In case you provide a dining area in the summer kitchen, then your family will gather here for meals. In the summer, you want to be more outdoors, so it would be nice to attach a terrace or a shed to the kitchen to dine outdoors.
In addition to these considerations, there is also the issue of providing the kitchen with energy resources - electricity, gas, water, sewerage. Therefore, the distance from the house should be small.
If this is a summer residence, then the gas may not be supplied, then they use cylinders if you have a gas stove. The cylinder should be taken out of the kitchen area to the street, a special metal box should be provided - a cabinet with holes for ventilation and it should be locked.
If you have electricity, you don't have to deal with gas, but an electrician must connect the electric stove, since there are tolerances, calculation of the cable cross-section and other points.
Considering all of the above, the question arises - how to decorate the summer kitchen, so that in the end it turns out to be not very expensive, and at the same time, the building is in harmony with the general ensemble of the house, summer residence.
Consider an indoor outdoor kitchen as an example. It is more practical, since all furniture and kitchen utensils have permanent places. But an open summer kitchen is a travel option, since you will have to take kitchen utensils into the house every time. In winter, it is easy to "mothball" the object until next summer.
Summer kitchen finishing options
Let's start with the exterior
The interior of the main building - a private house, summer cottages should be in tune with the decoration of the kitchen. Starting from the blind area of \u200b\u200bbuildings and ending with the roofing. If you want to have a perfect interior, then we take into account the design of the fence, landscaping of the site and other outbuildings.
The most common materials for facade decoration:
- Brickwork for joining, brick facing;
- All kinds of decorative plasters - bark beetle, fur coat and others;
- Just plastering followed by painting the surface with facade paints;
- Wooden wall cladding;
- Cladding with tiles (ceramic, porcelain stoneware, etc.);
- Facing with artificial stone.
This is an incomplete list of how to decorate a summer kitchen, I will not continue it, since you yourself will decide on the finishing materials according to your taste preferences and the size of your wallet.
The summer kitchen is identical in functionality to any kitchen in a house or apartment. Therefore, when choosing materials for its design, one should proceed from this. In addition to delicious food being cooked on the stove, there is still the same fatty coating, smells eat into the surface of the walls and ceiling.
Probably the biggest plus is that the summer kitchen relieves the main kitchen from these problems for a warm period of time. And you can drink morning coffee in a country house and not breathe in the fumes of roasted products.
Interior materials:
Ceiling any will do - painted, covered with wallpaper, lined with plastic panels, decorated with expanded polystyrene tiles, sheathed with plasterboard and other materials. 
Floors preferably made of tiles. Lay out a pattern, use tiles of different colors, just colored tiles with a pattern, and your summer kitchen is in no way inferior to the kitchen in the apartment. Porcelain stoneware is also good - in terms of its characteristics, it even surpasses ceramic tiles in some parameters. Let's not discount linoleum - a flooring proven over the years.
The main options for finishing a closed-type summer kitchen are considered. Depending on the location, size, design and functionality of the kitchen, you will decide on the most acceptable type of finish.
I propose to watch a very beautiful video with examples of interestingly designed open summer kitchens, their interior and arrangement.

AT It is inconvenient to cook in the house on a hot day: it is hot and stuffy. But it is at this time that the hostess spends more time at the stove, because in addition to the usual cooking, she will also roll home canned food. An easy construction, a summer kitchen in the country will help to facilitate the task and turn duty into pleasure. Projects, photos and various design ideas for this cozy corner will help the home craftsman to make his dream come true on his own.
For seasonal construction, a canopy and a concrete area are enough
It is not difficult to build a temporary dining room on your own, the main thing is to reasonably approach its location on the site and the choice of building materials.
Preparing a project
The first step is to study the site plan and determine the location for the optimal location of the building. This site must meet the following requirements:
- be close to the main house so that you can bring dishes and food;
- have convenient access routes so that there are no obstacles to moving from house to building;
- it is desirable to provide for the proximity of the site to the main communications: water, sewerage and electricity.
Useful information!The ideal option would be the presence of a natural or artificial reservoir near the building.
Having decided on the construction site, you need to measure its area. The size of the temporary structure is a separate issue. If it will additionally carry the function of a dining room, you will have to provide additional space for installing a table and placing chairs or benches. The presence of a stove or barbecue in the dining room also dictates the need to add square meters to separate the hot workshop from the dining group.
Even with a complete lack of artistic skills, it is easy to draw a plan for a future kitchen using a ruler and checkered paper. To scale, you need to depict all the main objects that will be located in the building: a sink, work surfaces, a stove or oven, a table. If the hostess has assistants, it is better to make the room elongated so that it is convenient for several chefs to work at once.
Seating at the dining table should be comfortable, chairs need enough room to move back.
Helpful advice!If the area of \u200b\u200bthe site does not allow placing a temporary kitchen with a dining room, you can abandon this idea and move the dining group to or into the gazebo.
Open or closed summer kitchen in the country? Projects, photos, advantages and disadvantages
A light building can be with or without walls, have a roof or be located in the open air - it all depends on the wishes and imagination of the owner.
Important!It is better to refuse the option of an open-air kitchen in the conditions of Russian latitudes. The hot sun, rain and hail can bring unpleasant surprises.
The walls of the country dining room, in principle, are not needed. Its main task is to enable outdoor cooking, so a canopy and supports are sufficient. It is another matter if the building will be used in the autumn-winter period. In this case, walls and glazing will have to be provided for protection from bad weather and cold. Advantages open building:
- fresh air access;
- ease of movement;
- the ability to cook food not only on a stationary, but also on a portable grill;
- low construction costs.
There are also disadvantages:
- inconvenience of cooking and eating in windy weather and cool times of the day;
- availability of storage space for dishes and products for domestic and wild animals.
Closed building
Pros:
- the ability to use the kitchen in any weather;
- in a closed area, equipment that is sensitive to atmospheric moisture can be placed.

Step-by-step construction of a summer kitchen in the country with your own hands
- Drawing preparation. You can do it yourself or take a ready-made one.
- Site preparation. The site is cleared of debris and vegetation, markings are made.
- Arrangement of the foundation. The base for the summer building must correspond to the project. For an open structure, it is enough to cover it with sand, reinforce it with a metal mesh and fill the site with concrete with a layer of 10 centimeters. Before pouring the base, the canopy posts are installed. An enclosed dining room made of brick or stone requires a bookmark. They are installed under a construction from a bar or log.
- Installation of the frame. For an open dining room or vertical supports will be required. Their location depends on the project. The main thing is that the pillars are reliable enough and can withstand the weight of the roof and the wind load.
- Construction of walls. In variants of closed dining rooms, the walls are laid out from different materials. Without experience, it is better not to take on yourself. Laying timber and logs requires less construction skills, but also has its own characteristics. If the seasonal building was bought as a finished product from the manufacturer, you can try to assemble it yourself. Even a novice master will master the frame walls.
- A stationary stove will require a solid foundation. The masonry is made of refractory bricks. To avoid accidental fire, the space around the barbecue is laid out with ceramic tiles. for the oven, it is better to order from the master.
