A beautiful, practical and cozy summer kitchen is needed in every dacha. We will show you step by step and in detail the construction of a summer kitchen with your own hands.
Modern summer kitchen in the country with your own hands.
If you want to place a summer kitchen on a veranda or on a terrace that has already been built, then preparatory work will be kept to a minimum.
But if you are going to place the kitchen separately, then you need to make a foundation for it.
A drain for waste water should also be provided. If you have sandy or sandy loam soil, then a simple filtration well will be enough to drain the sink. And since this will not be the main wash, and the volume Wastewater will be small, it will be quite suitable for constructing such a well old barrel or other container.
Holes are drilled in the bottom and walls of the barrel to form a sieve, and crushed stone is poured under and around it.
The formwork is being built again at the top. We will pour concrete into it, and thus get the basis for the future work surface.
But first you need to establish communications.
Pour the concrete and wait for it to harden.
You can begin installing equipment and finishing.
We chose tiles for surface finishing - they are practical and durable. And we plastered and painted the block walls.
In our project we decided to install over work area small canopy.
The canopy will protect us from the sun, in addition, lighting is mounted on it.
If you prefer to shelter from bad weather, then you can modify this version of the summer kitchen by installing a more permanent canopy.
A modern summer kitchen made by yourself will become a favorite place for the whole family at your dacha.
Simple DIY summer kitchen project
If the prospect of such capital construction scares you, then you can build a summer kitchen on a frame made of wood or metal profile, which is used for installing drywall.
This method is much faster and easier, but it is advisable to place such kitchens under a canopy and on a prepared surface (on a terrace, on a tiled yard, etc.)
A wide range of built-in appliances allows you to equip such a kitchen with any devices you need.
The profile can be covered with plasterboard for further tiling.

This is not the most The best decision, since you will lose protection from both the sun and rain.
- Closed kitchen. Often this is not only a place where food is prepared. A small light building can serve as a guest or hunting lodge, pantry or workshop for those who like to do things with their own hands.
For construction, you can use plywood, clapboard or other materials whose price is low. And summer kitchens for dachas, built from brick, foam or gas blocks, can be used for a long time and with success throughout the year.
By combining certain materials and designs for a summer kitchen at the dacha, you can create original and unique structures with your own hands that will become a highlight landscape design your suburban area.
In any case, do not forget to equip the summer kitchen with the following amenities:
- running water;
- sewerage;
- kitchen stove or grill;
- lighting and electrical outlets.
Advice!
If you do not have the opportunity to supply electricity to your summer kitchen, renting a diesel generator for your dacha will help out.
This device will provide power to all kitchen equipment.
Location
The construction of a summer kitchen in the country begins with finding a place where it will be installed.
This site must meet the following requirements:
- Convenient connection utility networks. There must be a possibility of supplying water supply, sewerage and electricity.
- Distance from utility and domestic buildings. Pets, publish bad smell, which is out of place in the kitchen. Therefore, it is advisable to make sure that it is removed from the economic zone of the dacha as far as possible.
- Availability of a cellar. It’s good when the plan for a summer kitchen at the dacha includes the presence of a cellar under it or nearby. This ensures access to products during cooking and the ability to quickly store homemade preparations.
Note!
If, before building a permanent house for housing, you use country houses from block containers, the place for building a kitchen must be chosen so that free and convenient access to it is subsequently provided.
Construction order
Step 1. Preparing the base
There are various designs for summer kitchens for cottages. Depending on the shape, materials and size of the building, the foundation is selected. The most common are strip and column bases.
The first type is used when it is planned to build an enclosed summer kitchen made of brick or other artificial stone. Open country summer kitchens or wooden houses can also be built on columnar supports. They can be made from cinder blocks or cast from cement mortar.
If you plan to install only a light canopy, then you can simply concrete the area the right size, reinforcing it with metal mesh or rods.
In any case, the sequence of actions for arranging the foundation is as follows:
- Excavation. According to pre-made markings, a continuous excavation of the soil is carried out or holes are dug with dimensions of 30x30 and a depth of 70-80 cm.
- Arrangement of the pillow. For this, a sand-crushed stone mixture is used, which is poured onto the bottom of the pit in a layer 20 cm thick and thoroughly compacted.
- Pouring the foundation, platform or pillars. Depending on the type of structure and its size, as well as the ambient temperature, it will take from a week to a month for the concrete to completely harden.
- Floor arrangement. In some cases, additional pouring of the subfloor may be required. To do this, a layer of soil is removed from the site, then a layer of sand 15 cm thick is poured. Crushed stone is laid on top of it, after which cement mortar is poured.
If the floor is subsequently tiled with ceramic tiles, take care smooth surface by executing cement screed and grinding.
Note!
The floor of the open summer kitchen should rise 5-7 cm above the ground level.
Otherwise, a heavy summer rain will flood the site.
Step 2. Construction of walls
The presence or absence of walls depends on what design of the summer kitchen in the country you have chosen. In any case, you will need to install and secure correctly support pillars that will support the roof or canopy.
Walls summer house for cooking can be made of various materials:
- Wood. All structural elements are fastened together with self-tapping screws or metal corners. Material for external cladding it can be a board or siding, the interior can be plasterboard, tongue-and-groove board or lining.
- Fake diamond. Considering the purpose of the building, it is enough to build walls one brick (cinder block) thick. If, despite the name, you intend to use the kitchen in winter, you should take additional care of insulation and heating.
Step 3. Arrangement of the roof
The simplest and most inexpensive option is flat pitched roof. It is easy to install and construction costs are minimal. However, most summer residents prefer the gable option, considering it more attractive.
If you plan to operate the summer kitchen around the clock, you need to lay thermal insulation made of basalt fiber, glass wool or polystyrene foam between the roof joists.
To prevent water from flooding the walls, it is necessary to provide a long canopy. This will extend the life of the structure.
Step 4. Interior decoration
The flooring in the summer kitchen can be made from ceramic tiles or decking ( terrace board). In the latter case, the surface is painted with one or another shade of paint or covered with varnish.
It is advisable to cover ceilings and walls with drying oil, which will protect the wood from the effects of negative environmental factors.
Original accessories made of ceramics, wood or other materials that organically fit into the dacha concept will help give your kitchen interior some personality.
Conclusion
When choosing a summer kitchen project, consider combining this room with a dining room or barbecue area. So, you can not only cook food, but also eat it in the fresh air, enjoying being in nature.
More details about the arrangement summer cottages You can learn from the video in this article.
Availability required summer kitchen in the country in most cases there is no doubt, except perhaps small size a plot on which to build a house, and simply nowhere. And in fact, such a building adds a fair amount of comfort to us in our summer cottage, especially if we give it the additional functions of a dining terrace, a gazebo for friendly and family gatherings and a convenient area for preparing food over an open fire on a grill or barbecue.
Summer kitchens in the country: photos
The main difference is that, despite the decoration, various materials in decoration, the formation of walls, roofs, flooring, the main function should be cooking and storing food supplies, therefore it is around this that the entire room should be built, and already additional options, such as a dining area with upholstered furniture and a big table decorative fireplace, near which you can sit, an area for children's games, and so on - all these are optional purchases.
So, if in the project you do not see a convenient food preparation area, conveniently and ergonomically placed devices and utensils, then such a building can hardly be classified as a kitchen building.
The reasons why suburban construction, we will need maybe a lot. One of them is the requirements fire safety, if you live in an area without centralized gas supply and use compressed gas cylinders for cooking.
In this case, it is imperative not only to move the kitchen outside the residential building, but also to make it as ventilated as possible in case of a sudden gas leak.
The second reason is that country houses are in many ways not designed to withstand significant above-zero temperatures, which are so common in the summer months; working indoors on such days becomes a real test of strength.
And in separate building you can come up with not only a ventilation system or a completely open walls, but also pick up Construction Materials so that the indoor air remains cool, even in the most intense heat. This, by the way, is also useful for high-quality storage of all food supplies that, according to regulations, cannot be stored in the refrigerator. You can and should pay attention to these qualities of materials when choosing one or another summer kitchen in the country, projects, photos which you liked.
Summer kitchen at the dacha projects
Easy-to-use types summer kitchen in the country, projects which we will look at in this section, each have their own advantages and their own functional purpose, which will suit one or another owner. Some of them are complex and will require you to involve professional builders, but for those for whom this is not a problem, it will be useful simple projects open spaces with one supporting wall.
First of all, you should decide whether your new kitchen will be adjacent to the house, like having a common foundation and roof with the building, or whether it will stand completely separately, maybe even at a sufficient distance from the residential building.
The second option is good for large areas, where such a building can become a real landscape center, next to it there will be a barbecue area and a gazebo. Swimming pool, children's playground, that is, places for the whole family to relax.
The second choice you have to make is whether to design it completely closed, completely open, or a combination of both approaches. Benefits closed type can be called better thermal insulation, as well as the ability to use the room not only in summer, but also before late autumn, and if there is heating, also in winter.
On the other hand, most dachas are not intended for year-round use and a capital, closed structure will cost much more to construct, and these functions will be absolutely useless.
Also, the cost of the project will largely be influenced by your desire to make an oven or hearth inside for cooking over an open fire. More often summer kitchen in the country with barbecue, photo which you may have seen includes a brick multifunctional oven, a design that is quite practical, convenient and gives you many new culinary possibilities.
But its weight is so great that you will have to think through a serious foundation, and both its construction and the strengthening of the existing one is a significant part of the construction budget.
Let's look at one of the interesting summer kitchen projects in the country with barbecue. In the photo you can see a building with a solid supporting main wall, along which there will be all communications needed for cooking, and on the rest, framed by short brick walls, there will be a dining area and a gazebo for receiving guests and country dinners.
The presented model is designed in three versions, depending on your preferences and choice, which we have already discussed above.
Walls can be completely open to allow maximum amount light and fresh air, can be supplemented with dense wooden or plastic blinds, which will provide the necessary shading. The third option is glazed walls, inside which you will get a closed room suitable for use in the cold season.
The beauty of such a layout is that in the same useful area that is occupied, say, you get a place for full cooking with excellent brick oven, in which you can prepare real culinary masterpieces. In addition, such a stove can also be used as a heating device if you use its compartments designed for this purpose.
DIY summer kitchen in the country
Don't think that DIY summer kitchen in the country– this is exclusively our invention and there is nothing like it in the whole world. In fact, in countries with any climate, it is very common to find just such models that allow you to cook in small enclosed patios and backyards of houses, regardless of whether the summer is hot or not. The point is the pleasant process of cooking food, especially dishes on a grill with coals - barbecue. Only for her alone can you install kitchen appliances under.
Purpose of the examples shown summer kitchen with barbecue in the country, projects which you see above, proves that it is possible to organize a mobile kitchen very compactly and for this, only the most necessary things are enough. The list of must-have items here includes a barbecue oven with a closing lid that you can use as needed, as well as a regular stove that turns on when wasting coals simply doesn't make sense. In addition, of course, you cannot do without a sink with water, cabinets for dishes and a work surface, comfortable and wide, on which you can prepare everything for cooking. Optionally we place our favorite electric kettle, multicooker and microwave oven; without them, there is nowhere in the modern food preparation area. How can you not do without a refrigerator, let it not be the big one that we are used to in city apartments, but compact, where you can safely hide all your food supplies (let’s not forget that storing food where mice and cats can get to it , it is necessary with special care and precaution).
Summer kitchen in the country with barbecue
Buying a barbecue oven is usually quite expensive, besides, we are more familiar with a barbecue grill, on which you can fry both meat and vegetables with the same success. That's just the difference between the previous options and summer kitchen in the country with barbecue The point is that this open fire requires the right approach. A special metal hood is placed above it, which, firstly, does not allow soot and odors to spread, and secondly, protects the interior from the dangers of open fire.
Among the examples summer kitchen in the country, projects with barbecue can be both the most common and quite original, with ideas that can significantly simplify and improve their use. So, for example, in one of the photos you can see a project in which the area of the building is divided into two parts unequal in size. On one there is a cooking area and a wood-burning grill, and in the second, separated by a solid wall, there is a relaxation and dining area, and these areas will not be visible from each other, which can create comfortable privacy. This one is definitely considered very convenient and practical, as it combines the advantages of both open and closed kitchen layouts.
Closed summer kitchen in the country
The last section will be devoted to examples of models closed summer kitchen in the country, which is the progenitor of all other projects. All the conditions and requirements that are put forward for the building are met here - it is compact, cool, and all the main kitchen devices fit perfectly under the roof. Yes, you can’t put a barbecue under the roof, but is that really important when you can comfortably cook in the rain, on cool summer evenings, and on equally chilly autumn mornings.
The interior of such a room should be made in a minimalist style so as not to emphasize once again its small size. Use light, clean colors in the decoration and materials that are easy to care for, as dust will accumulate here somewhat more than usual.
In addition, there are also combined options, when the enclosed space is located next to open veranda, on which chairs and a table are placed. Between them you can make not only a door, but also sliding window, rising upward or to the sides, and these two rooms, if desired, will merge visually into one.
