A beautiful, practical and cozy summer kitchen is needed in every country house. We will show step by step and in detail the construction of a summer kitchen with our own hands.
Do-it-yourself modern summer kitchen in the country house.
If you want to place a summer kitchen on a veranda or 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 soil, then a simple filtration well is enough to drain from the sink. And since this will not be the main wash, and the volume Wastewater will be small, for the device of such a well it will fit old barrel or other container.
Holes are drilled in the bottom and walls of the barrel to make a sieve, and crushed stone is poured under and around it.
At the top, the formwork is being built again. We will pour concrete into it, and thus we will get the basis for the future working surface.
But first you need to separate communications.
We pour concrete and wait until it hardens.
You can proceed to the installation of equipment and decoration.
For surface finishing, we chose tiles - they are practical and durable. And we plastered and painted the walls of the blocks.
In our project, we decided to install over working area small canopy.
The canopy will protect us from the sun, in addition, lighting is mounted on it.
If you prefer to shelter from the weather, then you can modify this version of the summer kitchen by installing a more substantial canopy.
A modern summer kitchen made by yourself will become a favorite place for the whole family in your country house.
A simple DIY summer kitchen project
If the prospect of such capital construction scares you, then you can build a summer kitchen on a wooden frame or metal profile, which is used for the installation of drywall.
This method is much faster and easier, but it is desirable to place such kitchens under a canopy and on a prepared surface (on a terrace, on a tiled courtyard, etc.)
A wide range of built-in appliances allows you to equip such a kitchen with any fixtures you need.
The profile can be sheathed with drywall for further tiling.

- sewerage;
- stove or grill;
- lighting and electrical outlets.
Advice!
If you do not have the opportunity to bring electricity to the summer kitchen, renting a diesel generator to give will help out.
This device will provide power to all kitchen equipment.
Location
The construction of a summer kitchen in the country begins with the search for a place where it will be installed.
This site must meet the following requirements:
- Convenient connection engineering networks. It must be possible to supply water, sewerage and electricity.
- Remoteness from economic and household buildings. Pets, publish bad smell which is out of place in the kitchen. Therefore, it is desirable to make sure that it is removed from the economic zone of the cottage as far as possible.
- The presence of a cellar. It’s good when the summer kitchen plan in the country includes a cellar under it or nearby. This provides access to products during cooking and the possibility of quick storage of homemade preparations.
Note!
If, before building a capital house for housing, you use country houses from block containers, a place for building a kitchen must be chosen so that free and convenient access is subsequently provided to it.
Construction order
Step 1. Preparing the base
There are various projects of summer kitchens for summer 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 a closed summer kitchen from 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 intend to install only a light canopy, then you can simply concrete the site right size, reinforcing it with a metal mesh or rods.
In any case, the sequence of actions for arranging the foundation is as follows:
- Excavation. According to a pre-made marking, a continuous excavation of the soil is carried out or holes are dug with dimensions of 30x30 and a depth of 70-80 cm.
- Pillow arrangement. For this, a sand-gravel mixture is used, which is poured onto the bottom of the pit with a layer 20 cm thick and carefully compacted.
- Pouring the foundation, platform or pillars. Depending on the type of structure and its dimensions, as well as the ambient temperature, it will take from a week to a month for the concrete to fully harden.
- Floor arrangement. In some cases, additional filling 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 the cement mortar is poured.
If subsequently the floor will be tiled with ceramic tiles, take care of smooth surface by doing cement screed and grinding.
Note!
The floor of the open summer kitchen should rise 5-7 cm above the ground.
Otherwise, a heavy summer downpour will flood the site.
Step 2. Building walls
The presence or absence of walls depends on which design of the summer kitchen in the country you have chosen. In any case, you will need to install and properly secure supporting 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 outer skin it can be a board or siding, internal - drywall, grooved board or lining.
- Fake diamond. Given the purpose of the building, it is enough to build walls one brick thick (cinder block). If you intend, despite the name, to operate the kitchen in winter, you should take extra care of insulation and heating.
Step 3. Arrangement of the roof
The easiest and cheapest option is flat shed roof. It is easy to install, and the cost of construction is minimal. However, most summer residents prefer the gable version, considering it more attractive.
If you expect round-the-clock operation of the summer kitchen, you need to lay thermal insulation from basalt fiber, glass wool or polystyrene between the roof joists.
To prevent water from flooding the walls, it is necessary to provide for a long visor. 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 varnished.
It is advisable to cover the 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 to give the kitchen interior an individuality.
Conclusion
When choosing a summer kitchen project, consider combining this space 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.

Need for availability summer kitchen in the country In most cases, there is no doubt, with the exception of perhaps small size a plot on which to build a house, and simply nowhere. Indeed, such a building adds a fair amount of comfort to us at our summer cottage, especially if you give it the additional function of a dining terrace, gazebos for friendly and family gatherings and a convenient area for cooking on an open fire with a barbecue or barbecue.
Summer kitchens in the country: photo
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 whole 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, a zone for children's games and so on - all these are optional acquisitions.
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 one.
The reasons why in suburban construction, we will need , maybe a lot. One of them is the requirement fire safety if you live in an area without centralized gasification and use compressed gas cylinders for cooking.
In this case, it is imperative not only to remove 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 largely not designed to withstand significant positive temperatures, which are so frequent 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 complete open walls, but also pick Construction Materials so that the air inside the room remains cool, even in the most intense heat. This, by the way, is also useful for high-quality storage of all food supplies, which, according to the norms, cannot be stored in the refrigerator. These qualities of materials can and should be paid attention to when choosing one or another summer kitchen in the country, projects, photos which you liked.
Summer kitchen at the cottage projects
User-friendly views summer kitchen in the country, projects which we will look at in this section, each has its own advantage and its own functional purpose, which will suit one or another owner. Some of them are complex and will require you to involve professional builders, and for those for whom it is not a problem, it will come in handy simple projects open spaces with one supporting wall.
First of all, you should decide whether your brand new kitchen will adjoin the house, like, that is, have a common foundation and roof with the building, or whether it will stand absolutely apart, maybe even at a sufficient distance from the residential building.
The second option is good for large plots, where such a building can become a real landscape center, next to it there will be a barbecue area, a gazebo. Swimming pool, playground, that is, places for the whole family to relax.
The second choice you have to make is to design it fully enclosed, fully open, or a combination of both. Benefits closed type can be called the best thermal insulation, as well as the ability to use the premises not only in summer, but also until late autumn, and in the presence of heating, even in winter.
On the other hand, most summer cottages are not intended for year-round use and a capital, closed building will cost much more to build, and these functions will be absolutely useless.
Also, the cost of the project will be largely influenced by your desire to make an oven or hearth inside for cooking on an open fire. More often summer kitchen in the country with barbecue, photo which you may have seen, includes a brick multifunctional oven, the design is quite practical, convenient and gives you many new culinary possibilities.
But its weight is so great that it will be necessary to think over a serious foundation, and both building it and strengthening the existing one is a significant part of the construction budget.
Let's take a look at one of the interesting summer kitchen projects in the country with a barbecue. In the photo you can see a building with a solid supporting main wall, along which there will be all the communications needed for cooking, and on the rest, framed by short brick walls, there will be a dining area and gazebos for receiving guests and country dinners.
The presented model is developed in three versions at once, depending on your preferences and the choice that we have already mentioned above.
Walls can be completely open to let in maximum amount light and fresh air, can be supplemented with dense wooden or plastic blinds, which will give the necessary shading. The third option is glazed walls, inside which you will get a closed room, suitable for use even in the cold season.
The beauty of this layout is that in the same usable area that is occupied, say, you get a place for full-fledged cooking with excellent brick oven where you can cook real culinary masterpieces. In addition, such a stove can also be used as a heating device, if you use its compartments designed for this.
Do-it-yourself summer kitchen in the country
You shouldn't think that summer kitchen in the country with their own hands- this is exclusively our invention and there is no such thing 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 closed patios, backyards of houses, and, regardless of whether the summer is hot or not. The point is in the pleasant process of cooking, especially dishes on a grill with coals - barbecue. Only for her alone it is already possible to install kitchen appliances under.
Purpose of the examples shown summer kitchen with barbecue in the country, projects which you see above, to prove that it is possible to organize an exit kitchen in a very compact way and for this only the most necessary is enough. The list of must-haves here includes a BBQ oven with a closing lid that you can use as needed, as well as a regular stove that turns on when it just doesn't make sense to waste coals. In addition, of course, you cannot do without a sink with water, cupboards for dishes and a work surface that is 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, even if it is not large, which we are used to in city apartments, but compact, where you can safely hide all food supplies (let's not forget that store food where mice and cats can get to it) must be done with extreme care and caution).
Summer kitchen in the country with barbecue
Buying a barbecue oven is usually quite expensive, besides, we are more familiar with a brazier, on which you can fry meat and vegetables with the same success. That's just the difference between the previous options and summer kitchen in the country with barbecue in the fact that this open fire needs 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.
Examples summer kitchen in the country, projects with barbecue can be both the most common and quite original, with ideas that can greatly simplify and improve their use. So, for example, in one of the photos you can see a project in which the building area is divided into two parts of unequal size. On one, there is a cooking zone and a wood-burning barbecue, and in the second, separated by a main wall, there is a recreation area and a dining room, moreover, these zones will not be visible from each other, which can create comfortable privacy. This one is clearly recognized as very convenient and practical, as it combines the advantages of both an open and a closed kitchen layout.
Closed summer kitchen in the country
The last section will be devoted to sample models closed summer kitchen in the country, which is the progenitor of all other projects. Here all the conditions and requirements that are put forward for the building are met - it is compact, cool, it perfectly fits under the roof all the main kitchen devices. Yes, you can’t put a brazier under the roof, but is it so important when you can comfortably cook in the rain, and on cool summer evenings, and no less dank 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 finishes and materials that will be easy to care for, as dust will accumulate here a little more than in the usual case.
In addition, there are also combined options when a closed room 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 up or to the sides, and these two rooms, if desired, will visually merge into one.
