In the warm season, especially during the conservation period, the presence of a summer kitchen greatly facilitates the cooking process and makes it more enjoyable. For construction, it is not necessary to hire specialists - all stages can be completed independently. If you choose the right materials, a summer kitchen will not cost too much, which for thrifty owner is of great importance.
Summer kitchens can be closed and open structure... Both types are widely used in suburban and suburban areas. To decide which of the types to choose from, you should study all the advantages and disadvantages of such buildings.
Closed kitchen
This kitchen has windows, doors and a roof like a complete home. There are options combined with a bath or summer shower, cellar, workshop, with attached veranda for eating and resting. Usually, light materials are chosen for construction and do not insulate the building, therefore, the premises are not used in winter. At the same time, there are kitchens made of bricks and foam blocks, which are more durable and can be insulated if necessary.
The advantages of closed structures:
- a closed kitchen requires more materials, therefore it is more expensive;
- additional calculations will be needed for the project;
- the construction process is more laborious and time-consuming.
This option is more suitable for country houses where the owners live permanently. But at the dacha, which is empty in winter, construction closed kitchen not always justified.
Open kitchens are built according to the principle: a concrete or tiled base, support pillars around the perimeter, a canopy roof. An oven is installed under a canopy, kitchen table, shops. Sometimes the kitchen is made without a canopy, if it is used exclusively for cooking on vacation on clear days. Building material for open kitchen most often it is wood, brick, natural stone.

Advantages:
- you cannot use the room during a cold period;
- no protection from wind and insects;
- weak protection from rain and dampness;
- products must not be left.
- all the furniture that will be there must be hidden for the winter in closed dry rooms, otherwise it will quickly rot.
Where to build
The location of the kitchen is of great importance. Household, and cesspools should be as far away as possible, but communications, on the contrary, are closer. You will have to supply water to the kitchen, connect electricity, so it is best if the building site is near the house. You cannot choose a place in the lowlands, otherwise the floor will damp. A closed kitchen can be attached to the house, and an open kitchen is better placed in a garden or by a pond, away from the road.
Open kitchen construction
There are many options for building an open kitchen, but the main stages are always the same: marking and preparing the site, arranging the foundation, installing load-bearing supports, installing the roof and interior arrangement of the room.
For work you will need:
- level;
- shovel;
- pegs and twine;
- tape measure; sand and crushed stone;
- cement mortar;
- pieces of reinforcement;
- timber 150x150 mm;
- Circular Saw;
- drill;
- screwdriver;
- hammer and nails;
- metal squares;
- self-tapping screws;
- boards 25 mm thick;
- primer.
Step 1. Markup
The selected area is cleaned of all excess and sod is removed. One of the corners of the building is determined and a peg is driven into the ground, and then the width and length of the area under the kitchen are measured from it. Beacons-pegs are placed in each of the corners and a string is pulled between them. They check the correctness of the markings along the diagonals - they must be of the same length. After that, inside the marking, the soil is selected to a depth of 15-20 cm, leveled and tamped.
Step 2. Pouring the foundation
The bottom of the pit is covered with an even layer of sand, leveled, well compacted. If necessary, communication pipes are laid along the bottom, rubble is poured on top. A reinforcing mesh is laid, metal rods 20 cm high are inserted in the corners of the site, and formwork from boards is installed around the perimeter. The height of the formwork above the ground surface should be about 10 cm; using a level on the inside of the formwork, mark the line for pouring the mortar so that the site is flat. Knead and pour it into the formwork, guided by the markings. The communication pipes are closed with plugs, otherwise the solution may get inside. The surface is leveled with a rule, after which the foundation is left to dry completely.
Also, the foundation for the kitchen can be made of a columnar type using bricks. The marking is carried out similarly to a monolithic foundation, after which square-shaped pits are dug up to a depth of 50 cm.The bottom of the pits is covered with sand and compacted, then a metal bar is inserted around which brickwork... The height of the foundation posts is checked by the level. If necessary, the posts are leveled with an additional layer of cement.
On the reinforcement rods, the lower strapping of a bar will be attached, which is joined by the "in the paw" method. The timber is laid on roofing material, previously glued with bitumen to each column. The subfloor joists are mounted on the lower strapping. edged boards.
Step 3. Installation of bearing supports
In the lower ends of the beam, holes are drilled for reinforcing bars protruding from the foundation. The front pillars are made 20 cm higher than the rear ones, so that it is more convenient to mount the canopy. Bars are installed at the corners of the platform, set in level, and then fixed to the base with metal plates on anchor bolts. Along the upper edge, the pillars are connected with a strapping made of timber, and horizontal jumpers are mounted at a height of 70-80 cm from the floor.

| Roof material | Weight sq. m (without base), kg | Approximate durability, years | Roof slope, deg. |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sheet black steel | 3-5 | 20-25 | 16-30 |
| Cink Steel | 3,5-6 | 30-40 | 16-30 |
| Roofing material | 4-13 | 13-15 | 4-27 |
| Shingles | 40-50 | 60 and more | 30-45 |
| Asbestos cement | 14-20 | 40-45 | 27-50 |
Step 4. Installation of the canopy
Boards treated with a primer are nailed to the upper harness along the width of the structure every 50 cm. The internal joints must be reinforced with metal squares so that the canopy does not disperse in strong winds. A waterproofing material is laid on top of the boards, thin slats are stuffed and sheets of slate are laid or
Step 5. Floor device
The most optimal solution would be tiling. It is not afraid of moisture, is easily cleaned of dirt, easily tolerates temperature extremes. Wooden flooring in an open kitchen quickly deteriorates under the influence of atmospheric moisture, dries up from the sun, is damaged by insects, and therefore requires regular maintenance. So, take the tile, tile adhesive, notched trowel and start the flooring. Lay out the tiles from the corner: apply a little solution to the back surface, apply it to the floor and level it.

To make the seams as even as possible, use special plastic crosses that are inserted at the joints. Laying is constantly controlled by the level, otherwise the coating will be uneven. If you plan to install a barbecue in the kitchen, you do not need to cover the floor under them. After completion of the work, the seams are cleaned of dust and mortar residues, and then rubbed with a special mixture.
Step 6. Kitchen arrangement
For greater comfort, the space between the floor and the horizontal lintels can be sheathed with boards or closed with wooden figured gratings, leaving the doorway free. They install a stove, benches and a table, supply electricity and water. In conclusion wooden surfaces covered with wood stain and varnish or painted, protecting the wood from environmental influences.

Construction of a closed kitchen
Closed kitchens are also very diverse, but the most convenient and easiest to implement is frame structure from a bar on columnar foundation... For cladding, it is recommended to use lining or OSB boards.
In the process of work you will need:
- Circular Saw;
- jigsaw;
- drill and screwdriver;
- building level;
- shovel;
- hammer;
- roulette;
- dry planed timber 100x100 mm;
- boards 25 mm thick;
- long cord and pegs for beacons;
- roofing material;
- cement mortar;
- construction studs;
- working off;
- nails and screws;
- sand.
Step 1. Marking the site
The selected area must be prepared: level the hills, remove tall grass, stones, debris. Now you need to determine where the facade line will be located, and put 2 beacons on it. The distance between the pegs is equal to the length of the facade. Perpendicular to this line, measure the length of the side walls from each beacon and also put marks. A cord is pulled between the beacons, and the diagonals are measured in the resulting rectangle. If they are equal, the markup is correct. In the center of each side of the future kitchen and at the intersection of the diagonals, pegs must also be driven in - these are marks for intermediate pillars.
Step 2. Preparing the foundation
Dig holes with a shovel in the places marked with pegs to a depth of 40 cm; the size of the pit should correspond to two laid flat cinder blocks. The walls and bottom of the pits are leveled, a 10 cm layer of sand is covered and tamped. 2 lower cinder blocks are laid on the sand, covered with a solution, a construction pin is inserted in the center so that it rises above the soil surface by about 25-30 cm.Then a second row of cinder blocks is placed on top across the first, again a solution and a third row. The finished posts must be of the same height and level.
Step 3. Installation of the bottom trim
The lower harness consists of two rows of timber knocked together. All the beams are abundantly coated with used oil, paying special attention to the cuts, and then dried. In the beams of the lower row, you need to make holes for the studs, and in the upper row, cut grooves for the floor crossbars. The depth of the grooves corresponds to half the thickness of the timber, and the width is equal to the thickness of the crossbeam.
Pieces of roofing material are laid on top of the pillars, putting them directly on the pins. Lower bars applied to the posts, note the location of the stud, drill holes of the appropriate diameter. Then they are laid on the foundation, pins are threaded into the holes and the nuts are tightened. The ends of the studs should not protrude above the surface of the timber; on the contrary, it is better when they are slightly recessed into the wood. Check the piping with a level around the perimeter to avoid distortions. Now you need to lay the top row of beams, nail them down, insert the floor beams into the grooves. For greater reliability, it is better to strengthen the internal joints with metal plates with screws.
Step 4. Summer kitchen - log house
Such a summer kitchen is distinguished by its excellent appearance, is environmentally friendly and retains heat well inside the room. However, it is extremely important to treat the material with fire-retardant impregnation in order to exclude the possibility of damage to the wood by insects.
It is worth remembering that the log house will shrink for several years, therefore it is not recommended to additionally sheathe the walls of the summer kitchen.
To make the walls even inside the room, each log is cut along its entire length with a plane or grinder. At the ends of the logs, grooves are cut out for joining ("in the paw" method). This method was not chosen by chance. Firstly, the logs will be used without residue, and secondly, even if the corner joint has a small gap, this will not affect the functionality and convenience of the summer kitchen in any way.
To build a crown, we lay two logs opposite each other. We put two more on them perpendicularly. We adjust this square to a single plane so that it lies clearly horizontally on the lower trim of the future summer kitchen. Next, the marking, cutting and laying of the following logs is carried out, between which we lay insulation, for example, moss or felt.
The openings under the doors and windows of the summer kitchen will be cut down in the future. Themselves double-glazed windows and Entrance door together with the accessories will be installed after the completion of the roof installation process. We bring to your attention a photo report of the construction of a 7x3 m summer kitchen.

Step 5. Roof installation
From boards with a section of 150x50 mm, trusses for the roof are knocked down, reinforced with spacers inside and mounted to the upper strapping. The ends should protrude 10-15 cm beyond the perimeter of the walls. The distance between the trusses is approximately 1.5 m. The fastening of the roof elements to the trim is carried out using metal plates and bolts. After installing the rafters, a ridge is stuffed along the farms, and then the roof frame is sheathed with boards. Profiled sheeting, slate or other is laid on the crate roofing material.

Step 6. Kitchen arrangement
When the main processes are completed, you should come to grips with internal arrangement kitchens. The walls can be sheathed with plastic or, since the frame sheathed with plywood does not look very aesthetically pleasing. Then they install a stove, a sink, connect electricity and water, arrange kitchen furniture. On this, the construction of a closed kitchen can be considered complete.

Cooking in the summer in a hot and cramped kitchen is a very dubious pleasure. And if the residents of high-rise buildings are deprived of a choice, then the owners of private houses or summer cottages can take the cooking process outside the house in the summer - into the summer kitchen. And the house will get rid of excess vapors during the season of active conservation. Well, and the food cooked on fresh air- always tastier than in the house. In addition, summer kitchen, without special costs, can be made roomy enough to turn it into a place for evening gatherings and meetings with friends.
There are many options for a summer kitchen for a summer residence:
- with veranda adjacent to the house
- with barbecue area
- with pergola
- with a separate gazebo (pavilion)
In general, summer kitchens are usually divided into two types:
- open - canopy open on one or more sides, can be used as wind protection sliding structures, tarpaulin (fabric), roller blinds or removable partitions. Comfortable in such a kitchen will be all summer season- from late spring to early autumn
- a closed kitchen is actually a "kitchen-house", reliably sheltering from all the vagaries of nature, but at the same time a significant part of the unique charm of the summer kitchen is lost.
Since this is a rather simple structure structurally, it will not be too much effort to build a summer kitchen with your own hands.
We select a place
An important stage in creating a summer kitchen project is the choice of a place, the correct choice of which determines both the simplicity and speed of construction, and the convenience of further operation.
There are several factors to consider here:
- the presence of communications - the proximity and ease of supplying water, electricity, gas, the organization of drainage
- getting away from roads - exhaust fumes, dust and noise are not the best background for relaxing rest and cooking
- distance from toilets, cesspools and compost pits, barnyards and other places with a characteristic pungent odor
- fire safety - if it is supposed to use open fire in the kitchen ( brazier, barbecue), at least within a radius of 10 m there must be no flammable structures
- the presence of trees - the crowns will give shade and keep cool, limiting the hit of the scorching rays of the sun. Cooking food near a hot stove and even under the hot sun is a dubious pleasure.
- remoteness from home - construction of a summer kitchen with common wall with a house (in the form of a veranda or an extension) will significantly reduce the cost of the project. But on the other hand, smoke and fumes from the stove will enter the house, and the main idea of a summer kitchen is to rid the house of side effects cooking. At the same time, if you move the kitchen away from home, in bad weather there will be problems with the delivery of food to the house.
Laying the foundation
Quite often on thematic sites, an option is considered when the interior of the kitchen has its own cellar... The option is quite controversial, because in this case, the cost of construction rises sharply. In addition, if the kitchen is open, then in winter such a cellar will require additional insulation. And to get to it, you will have to additionally rake the snowdrifts. So we will still consider the cellar as an attribute of the house, and you can safely proceed to marking and laying the foundation.
If the construction of capital (brick, stone, foam concrete) walls is not expected, then there is no need to lay a full foundation. To do this, a pit (depression) of 10-15 cm is torn off in the ground over the total area, which is covered with screenings or sand and tamped. From above, you can lay tiles or boards for the future floor of the summer kitchen. In this case, the floor should be raised 15-20 cm above the ground level in order to avoid the ingress of rainwater streams.
In the presence of a foundation, the basis is laid wooden frame from a bar, fixed at the points of attachment to the foundation metal corners... In the future, the construction of the frame repeats the process described above.
When building a closed kitchen, brick, foam blocks or stone are used for the construction of walls. In this case, a wall thickness of half a brick will be quite enough. Inside, the walls can be sheathed with plasterboard, plastic, clapboard or plastered - only the frost resistance of the selected material can act as a limitation, because the room will not be regularly heated in winter.
For a summer kitchen, the arrangement of a lean-to roofs, for which it will be enough to erect one wall of the beam structure slightly higher than the opposite one. When choosing a roofing material, it is important to consider the strength of the frame. If there are practically no restrictions for a closed kitchen (slate, metal tiles, composite tiles, bituminous tiles, corrugated board, seam roofing, polycarbonate), then for an open kitchen you need to choose a lighter material, for example, polycarbonate or shingles.
Summer kitchen in the country: design and decoration
The main thing is that fate follows when choosing a summer kitchen project for a summer residence - its compliance with the overall design and style of the entire site. To create a unique bright kitchen, especially if the kitchen will be visually close to the house - the decision on its design and interior should be made in the same key so that general stylistic touches can be traced.
A few tips for finishing:
- bake- the main element in the interior, but at the same time, do not forget about the main purpose of the kitchen - cooking. A brazier or barbecue, of course, is good, bright and aesthetically pleasing, but for daily needs you cannot do without a gas, electric or wood-burning stove. And also without a sink, countertop, all kinds of drawers and other kitchen utensils not enough
Cooking in the kitchen small size- not a pleasant occupation. Hot air, cramped conditions, constant lack of free space make the cooking process difficult, and sometimes unbearable. There is only one way out - to build a separate spacious summer kitchen in the country house, where there is enough space not only to accommodate a working, but also a dining area, with a large and comfortable dining table. About which summer kitchen is most in demand today, and is it possible to build it yourself using standard projects and regular photo, later in our article.
What is a summer kitchen
A summer kitchen in the country is an attached to the house or a detached structure designed for cooking and relaxation. Depending on the choice of materials and the method of insulation, it can be used both during the warm season and constantly.
The type of construction of a summer kitchen can be open and closed. In the first case, the walls of the building are completely or partially absent. They can be replaced by light curtains or. Have closed type there are main walls and windows that reliably shelter the kitchen from rain and wind.
For an experienced carpenter, it will not be difficult to build a canopy over the summer kitchen on his own.
A summer kitchen with a simple project can be safely built in just one summer. This will require basic skills. construction works, the necessary material and tool. Well, for safety reasons, it is advisable to have one or two assistants, since some types of work will be carried out at a height.
Important! Before starting the construction of an object, you should choose a suitable place for it. Not only the aesthetic, but also the practical side of the issue will depend on how correctly this will be done.
We select a place for construction
When choosing a suitable place, first of all, you need to take into account that the kitchen should not be too remote at home. And the point is not even that it will be easier and cheaper to bring communications, but that it should be within walking distance from the main building. After all, you must admit that it is not very convenient to go to cook breakfast, lunch and dinner on the opposite side of the site every day.
In addition, near the summer kitchen, there should be no sources that have bad smell... These include sheds and animal cages, fertilizer pits, compost heaps, sewer wells, septic tanks, etc.
Having your own kitchen in the fresh air is the dream of any housewife.
If there is a tree on the site, it is advisable to plan a summer kitchen in the immediate vicinity. On hot days, a table and chairs can be placed under its dense crown. It's no secret that having breakfast outdoors is twice as pleasant.
However, carried away by planning the future structure, do not forget about the fire safety rules, neglect of which can lead to not the best consequences.
The presence of an open flame in a summer kitchen is allowed if it is at least 8-10 meters away from flammable buildings.
Deciding on a kitchen project (photo)
So that the cooking extension is practical, functional and comfortable, and also has an attractive appearance- it is important to choose for her correct project, in which all the nuances and design features will be painted to the smallest detail.
In addition, it is important that the kitchen fits organically into the overall building and does not disturb the surrounding landscape, therefore, it is advisable to choose the same materials for its construction as for the house itself. This will help you achieve perfect harmony between the two buildings.
As you may have noticed, many projects of summer kitchens whose photos are posted in the article have an original and custom design... This suggests that today the aesthetic component is no less important than the functional one.
Erecting a building on your own
When the place and project for the summer kitchen have been chosen, you can safely proceed to its construction. Like any building, the construction of a summer kitchen is carried out in four stages:
- Site marking and foundation pouring.
- Erection of walls (if they are provided for by the project) or support pillars.
- Roof construction.
- Internal and external decoration.
Foundation
Since this structure is comparatively not heavy, the need for pouring capital foundation- No. It is quite possible to do without, or, most importantly, to be carried out in compliance with the technology.
Important! For those who subsequently do not want to mess with the floor device, it is perfect, the upper base of which will be the floor.
For the construction of a summer kitchen made of glass, a foundation may not be required at all
- Strip foundation. First, markings are made on the site, which are marked on a plane with fixed pegs with a rope stretched between them. Next, a pit is dug (depth 40-60 cm), along the perimeter of which a formwork made of boards or moisture-resistant plywood is installed on both sides. Then, in order to avoid heaving of the soil, a bedding is made of compacted seeded sand and crushed stone. Before pouring concrete, reinforcement is lowered into the trench and tied with wire using a special hook. The foundation must last at least 30 days. If you are lucky with the weather, you can start construction in 2 weeks.
- Monolithic foundation. Having previously made a marking of the site, a foundation pit is dug to a depth of 15-20 cm. To strengthen the soil and protect the slab from groundwater, at the bottom of the pit, geotextiles are settled, on top of which a sand cushion is made. Further, the sand is well leveled and compacted tightly with a tamping machine. It remains to put the formwork, tie the reinforcing cage, pour the concrete solution. After complete drying, reliable and quality foundation for the summer kitchen - ready.
Important! If you plan to use an open type of summer kitchen, a stove from monolithic foundation it is recommended to do it with a slight slope of 1.5º-2º, so that rainwater can flow down on its own.
Walls and roof
If the walls of the summer kitchen are wooden, their construction begins with the construction of a frame, which is made of metal or wooden bars.
- In the corners, large (support) posts are installed - 200 × 200 mm in size, and between them additional ones - 150 × 150 mm in size.
- The upper strapping beams are placed on the support bars, which will also serve as the basis for the installation of the rafters.
- After the builders are installed, they are made of 50 × 50 mm bars. lathing and counter-lathing are made.
- Further, the entire structure is treated with a special composition against fungus and mold, after which the installation is carried out.
Often, a rounded log, brick or stone is used as a material for the walls, which is ideal for this type of building. With such walls, the building can be used all year round, the main thing is to produce them of high quality.
An indisputable advantage is the fact that summer kitchen facade from a log, facing brick or decorative stone does not require additional finishing. Extra costs are reduced only to the fact that wood is needed and, and stone and brick.
Deciding on the design of the facade
When choosing a summer kitchen project from the photos that you like, you need to pay attention not only to its shape, size, and functional component, but also to the design of the building. For a summer residence, it is very important that the style of the outbuildings corresponds to the general layout of the entire site as a whole.
This does not mean at all that the building should be a kind of clone of the main structure. Rather, on the contrary, they should not replace, but complement each other, creating common stylistic touches.
In the summer kitchen, special attention should also be paid to the working and dining area, where everything should be as rational and convenient as possible. The space below will help you to organize the space competently. photos of summer kitchens, where it is clearly demonstrated how to beautifully and correctly design various zones.
Work zone - important element in the interior. Try to keep it comfortable and practical.
- Furniture... Use upholstered furniture in the summer kitchen open type not best idea... In most cases, it is made of foam rubber, which absorbs moisture well. Therefore, it is better to use wooden or plastic benches and chairs with removable cushions. Also fits well into the interior different kinds wicker furniture that goes well with any finishing materials. For example, a rattan chair or a vine chair will look very nice. If a closed type of kitchen is used, then the flight of imagination should not be limited by anything. In this case, you can use any furniture, including upholstered furniture.
- Lighting. Correct lighting summer kitchen in the country, regardless of its size - an important stage renovation works... A chandelier suspended in the center or a single lamp cannot always cope with the task assigned to it. To illuminate all areas, it is advisable to use more than one type of lighting. Above the working area, it is appropriate to place spotlights in tandem with, and hang a large chandelier above the table.
We hope that this article will help you to competently approach the issue of choosing the right project for your summer kitchen. As you can see sources for inspiration and fresh ideas there is plenty of room for the realization of the plan. Good luck with your construction.

Most often, the design of a summer kitchen in a private house is designed in strict aesthetic and style accordance with the main residential building.
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 suitable option 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 executed interior decoration floors, walls and ceilings, then 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 selection 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. More colorful materials can be used, such as decorative rock 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 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 linseed 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. Beams 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, finishing a summer kitchen inside can be simple, it is not at all necessary to resort to such delights, but even simple wooden beams and beams, varnished or dark brown paint, will give the room a solid look.
Installation of beams and crossbars is not so difficult, especially if you have at least a little bit of 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 in combination 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 a 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 stick on the finished beams natural veneer made of spruce, beech or oak, and this finish can be used in other furnishings 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 attach the beams, you will need nails, reliable wood glue, a saw, an accurate ruler, a square and, of course, the material itself, such as 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. V large room larger beams can be made.
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 plates, and at the end - the last bar from the bottom, covering the box-shaped 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 varnished, painted, special film or paste over with veneer.
