Features and functionality of a kitchen gazebo

 

A kitchen gazebo differs from a veranda due to a separate foundation from the house. Special fences or even walls are created for it. Often, the structure is erected near the house. A separate path leads from the house to such a room. For construction, it is better to choose a place on a hill.

You need the kitchen in the gazebo for cooking. Its peculiarity is the obligatory presence of a stove or a range, due to which the main kitchen in the house is unloaded in the warm season. Often in such rooms a table for cutting food, benches, chairs, or sun loungers are installed. This is a highly functional building, which you use to the maximum in the summer. At the same time, different materials are used for construction. There is a large selection of projects and ideas for their implementation.

Advantages and disadvantages of the kitchen gazebo

Let’s consider the most significant advantages of such buildings:

Gazebos with barbecue or grill will allow you to cook delicious, aromatic dishes over an open fire.

Compared to closed kitchens, this type of space makes your cleaning easier.

Having breakfast, lunch or dinner outdoors allows you to enjoy nature, and it is also very romantic.

There are different materials that you can use to finish such a structure. This will allow you to create a structure in the desired style, with the landscape design.

One of the disadvantages is that construction will be expensive, especially if a closed kitchen with glazing and heating is being created.

Types of kitchen gazebos

kitchen gazebos have differences in shape, material, type (open and closed), style, and other parameters. Let’s consider them in more detail.

Depending on the shape

Gazebos with a kitchen under one roof are classified according to different features. And to the building materials used for production. They can have different shapes, sizes, and designs. In terms of dimensions, the structures can be small (without furniture and a large table), medium, and large (with a barbecue, fireplace, sofas, tables, chairs, and other furniture). But everything depends on your construction budget. The shape can also be any, everything depends on you, the design project, and the skills of the architect.

The shape will often depend on your house and landscape design so that the buildings fit harmoniously together and complement the architectural ensemble. Today, not only classic rectangular or square gazebos are built. But also round, oval, or polygonal buildings. The structure can look like an ordinary kitchen, or be created with a podium-veranda, a dining area, a recreation area, and other functional areas.

Depending on the building material

You can build an outdoor kitchen with a gazebo with your own hands from different building materials, which determines the functional characteristics and aesthetics of the structure:

Kitchen Gazebo Made of metal

They are the least common, as metal beams look unaesthetic. Kitchen gazebos made of forged metal are an expensive investment that will be unjustified, therefore, we advise you to use combined construction technologies.

Kitchen Gazebo Made of wood

The buildings are as close to nature as possible, they look cozy on any site. Due to the treatment of natural material with fire-retardant agents and compounds, you can use barbecues, stoves, and grills inside wooden structures. In 2024, gazebos with grills are gaining popularity in Kenya, where you can cook meals over an open fire with maximum comfort.

Made of brick

Brick gazebos are distinguished by a complex design; a stove is often used to arrange the interior space and the hearth. Due to the complexity of the process, we recommend entrusting it to professionals. Construction will require a large budget, but due to the operational advantages of the building, they quickly pay for themselves. The structure is fireproof and durable so no additional costs will be needed in the future.

Depending on the size

The dimensions of the structure depend on its purpose. A standard gazebo with a stove has an area of ​​9 to 12 square meters. The advantage is that the use of a closed room is possible all year round. And your furniture and household appliances will not suffer from humidity and temperature changes.

Closed or open kitchen gazebo?

The difference between open and enclosed gazebos is that the latter structures have completely closed walls. Gazebos with panoramic windows, which can have full doors, are in demand. Winter models are heated, so you can use them all year round. Open gazebos are devoid of walls and fences.

With or without a terrace

By combining a kitchen and a terrace, the problem of rooms with a lack of free space is solved. You can create the dining area outside the cooking area, and you can make it quite spacious. A terrace with a kitchen is a practical solution for people who love outdoor recreation.

Summerhouse styles used as kitchen gazebos

When developing the design of such buildings, the style of the house is taken into account. Choose the building materials the same as those from which you have erected the main structure. If you have built the house in a modern style, then use brick or stone to build the gazebo. Natural materials are suitable for eco-style. Wooden buildings complement landscape design well and are often decorated with carvings on the outside.

A traditional Kenyan-style gazebo with fencing and a roof will look good on any site. Timber and logs are used for construction, and metal tiles are used for roofing. Light shades are relevant for the Provence style. A lot of textiles are used inside the premises, from curtains to chair covers.

Barbecue in the summer outdoor gazebo

Cooking structures are not only a functional element. By placing a grill or barbecue in the center of the room, you create additional coziness in the design of the gazebo.

What to consider when building a kitchen gazebo

Let us briefly consider the main features of the construction of such structures.

Place of construction

Often, a place near the house is chosen for building a gazebo with a kitchen. However, it can also be connected to the house using a terrace or a canopy.

Kitchen gazebo drawing/project

The quality of future construction and functionality of the building depends on the project. Therefore, order design from professionals.

Foundation of the kitchen gazebo

When building a gazebo with glazing made of brick, you will need a solid strip foundation made of concrete. However, in the case of wooden buildings, you can limit yourself to a lightweight foundation based on screw piles. The type of foundation is determined depending on what kind of fireplace will be installed inside the room.

Construction material

An economical and affordable option would be a wooden gazebo. Brick buildings will require a larger budget. Also, in this case, construction can be very delayed.

Roof

Roofing materials for a kitchen gazebo:

• Thatched: Rustic, natural look, requires regular maintenance.
• Metal: Durable, low-maintenance, various styles and colors.
• Shingles: Traditional, various materials (asphalt, wood, fiberglass).
• Fabric: Lightweight, flexible, ideal for temporary or seasonal gazebos.
• Solar panels: Sustainable, energy-efficient, potential for off-grid power.

Finishing

The best way to cover a kitchen gazebo is with fiber cement panels based on cellulose with a high degree of moisture resistance. Polyurethane facade panels or metal siding are also used.

Depending on the complexity of the project, you can hire a team of builders to build a kitchen gazebo or try to do the work yourself. In both cases, you will need an accurate, verified project, drawing up an estimate and a work plan.
