A nice and flat barbecue area, this is what all summer residents need.
Therefore, you should take care of its proper design on your site.

  • Arrangement of a closed area
    • The nuances of fire safety
    • Conclusion
  • Options for barbecue sites

    The most popular is considered a universal solution for a stationary or portable design.

    Open

    This category of grilling area is built in an open area. The brazier is placed on a uniform, hard surface. A place to relax with a table and benches is equipped with a light canopy of an awning or a beach umbrella. This is one of the most budget options. However, the functionality of the barbecue area in the country is limited due to the weather. The main condition for arranging and using an open space for a barbecue is compliance with all official fire safety rules. nine0004

    Enclosed

    Enclosed type provides a solid base with a foundation, load-bearing beams and roof, one wall or partitions to protect from the weather. The brazier is supplied with a chimney, nearby surfaces are made using heat-resistant building materials. Here, under one roof, a working-type space with a barbecue and a place to relax is being arranged.

    Universal

    Universal type, it is a stationary or collapsible type of construction with a light canopy and a beautiful fence. A portable model can be placed in any suitable place in the garden, depending on the time of year, weather and the nature of the planned events. A universal and stationary solution for a barbecue is equipped with a lounge area under a canopy, plants, a simple fence, and wattle are used as wind protection. nine0004

    How to choose a place for a brazier in a garden plot

    A resting place on a summer cottage will be the most convenient and comfortable only if all the points related to placement, configuration and design are properly thought out. The selected area should be not only beautiful and comfortable, but also safe at the same time. Therefore, construction is advised to start with the choice of location.

    Before designing a place to relax in the country, you should think about the remoteness of the site from other buildings and households. buildings. It is necessary to be aware that the barbecue area is not only a fire hazard, but is also classified as an area that is characterized by increased smoke. If the dust-gas mixture penetrates the windows of residential premises, it will not only be unpleasant, but also dangerous to health. Therefore, the place must be chosen, as far as possible from the main buildings. You should also not forget about the neighboring cottages to avoid problems. nine0004

    The next moment is the search for a calm corner. To make it good for the guests, and there is no chance of hot coals blowing up, the barbecue area in the country house with your own hands should be completely closed from the wind. Otherwise, the air flow can not only provoke a fire hazard, but also slightly stretch the cooking time.

    To protect the barbecue corner from strong winds, it is recommended to equip it on the leeward side of the cottage. If this cannot be done, the installation is carried out behind any structures that reduce the effect of air flows - behind a fence, trees or a wall of another building. The optimal height of the protective wall in such a situation is 150 centimeters or more. nine0004

    If a place to relax in a summer cottage with a barbecue is located in a devastated area, then to organize the space it is necessary to find a hollow or other negative form of relief where gusty wind will not interfere with cooking.

    Which material to choose

    Incombustibility is considered the most important factor when choosing materials:

    The wooden parts of the brazier are subject to full treatment with fire-resistant impregnation. Moreover, flame retardants should be applied in several layers, followed by high-quality drying of the past coating. nine0004

    Arrangement of an open area

    The basis of an open area for a metal grill is usually made of paving slabs, brick materials, paving stones, clinker. The tile for the barbecue in the country should be of high quality. More about the nuances of arrangement:

    Attention! A level is used to check the evenness of the layers. The perimeter should be designed with a low side made of brick materials or stone to improve security.

    Arrangement of an enclosed area

    To build an enclosed area with a brick stove, you will need a concrete foundation:

    After everything dries, waterproofing is carried out using roofing material. Then you need to apply a liquid waterproofing type mastic before laying. nine0003 The nuances of arranging a simple brick grill:

    For the construction of the roof, columns are placed taking into account the severity of the structure. The roof is most often made of metal tiles or asbestos-cement sheets. In this case, columns made of metal tubes, supporting elements made of bricks or bars are relevant. The metal rack is mounted by means of wells that are filled with a concrete mixture. For the construction of a brick support, a point-type foundation is used, on the basis of which columns of the required height are made. Next, they put the rafters and sheathe the roofing part. nine0004

    If desired, the complex can be equipped with several brick walls. Models with panoramic glazing have long been popular. Also, quite often, lattice-type partitions are installed, small sides around the perimeter of the grill area, made of brick materials or stone.

    Fire safety nuances

    It is necessary to take into account the following recommendations when arranging and using a country barbecue area: nine0013

  • to avoid a fire hazard, it is important to remove easily flammable objects, they must be within a radius of 2 m from the grill;
  • the presence of dry grass will increase the risk of fire, it will be necessary to allocate the border of the area with a brazier, sides made of concrete or brick material;
  • according to the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the use of gasoline or kerosene for ignition is fraught with serious problems;
  • you can not put the barbecue near the plants because of the possible spread of fire, especially if the wind starts. nine0013

    Important! Before you start cooking meat, you need to think about the presence of a fire extinguisher or have a container with plenty of water on hand.

    conclusion

    It can be collapsible - usually these are metal modifications, or stationary, made of brick materials. When installing it, it is necessary to take into account the conditions of use. For a budget open area, any design is suitable, but if it is equipped under a roof, in a gazebo or on a terrace, a chimney and fire safety measures will be required. nine0004

    Barbecue in the country is the reason why many people, especially young people, generally leave the city. Barbecue, pleasant company, nature practically guarantee that the time will be spent pleasantly and with some benefit. A simple portable barbecue installed in a more or less free corner of the site is enough for many. Others approach the issue with great perfectionism and arrange a real barbecue area. Find out how best to do this in more detail later in the article. nine0004

    Arrangement

    There are different approaches to the site arrangement. First of all, it can be open. This method of arrangement implies that you are going to come to the dacha only in the summer, and your friends do not have the opportunity to get out to barbecue too often. nine0004

    Outdoor area

    Outdoor area is easy to set up and even easier to dismantle. Includes:

    • Canopy . Instead of walls with a roof, the open area has a simple awning stretched over the dining area. Often it resembles a tent - you dig in pegs and pull a tarp over them. It is easy to dismantle, the price is low.
    • Working area . It includes a portable brazier or grill - you can cook any not too complicated dishes on it, fry meat, heat up sausages bought in the store. It will not suffer from rain, for the winter it can be taken indoors. Plus, it has a low price and, if anything, it is easy to replace. nine0013
    • Dining area . A table and chairs around it - nothing else is needed. In winter, they, again, can be taken indoors, and cold and rain will not harm them if you choose the material well.

    Arrange according to taste and convenience

    If you choose the colors, even an open area will look good.

    Tip

    If you're on a tight budget - or if you don't see the need to spend - an open design is best for you. nine0003

    Closed

    In fact, this is the exact opposite of an open structure - it is expensive to build, relatively long, but the result will be reliable and beautiful, looking more like a separate building than a site.

    Closed barbecue to build more expensive

    Includes:

    • Arbor . She has walls with a roof, she looks like a small house and will perfectly protect not only from rain, but also from the cold. It can be expensive to build, but you can use it in winter if you want to relax in nature. nine0013
    • Work area. Barbecue or grill - too simple, it makes no sense to put up a gazebo for them. But a real hearth, oven or tandoor is already more serious. They can cook not only meat, but also more complex dishes. If you have a desire, you can even bake bread.
    • Dining area . It can be decorated beautifully, tastefully and without limitation on materials. After all, inside a closed gazebo, they do not need to withstand temperature changes, high humidity, harsh outdoor conditions. nine0013

    The arbor is small, but the essentials fit

    Tip

    A closed structure only makes sense if your dacha is suitable for wintering - and only if you are ready to drive it in winter. In other cases, spending is not too justified.

    Multi-Purpose

    You can gather on such a platform both in summer and in the off-season - and even in winter, if you are ready to put up more or less strong partitions.

    Easy to use all year round

    Includes:

    • Arbor . But if a closed structure has stationary walls in it, then in a universal structure it consists of pillars supporting the roof. On hot summer days, the space between the posts is left open so that a cool breeze flies inside. But in autumn or in rainy weather, it is closed either by wooden panels, or a metal grill, or fabric.
    • Working area . You can put a barbecue or grill in it, or you can use a real oven or an open hearth - depending on your tastes. The universal platform lives up to its name in this matter as well. nine0013
    • Dining area . It is advisable to choose materials that tolerate moisture and temperature changes, but you can buy something more expensive, just close the gazebo at night.

    Universal Recreation Area

    Tip

    The universal solution is good if you can’t predict how your schedule will be - until you are at the cottage, it will be waiting in a closed state, but as soon as you arrive - and it is easy to transform. nine0003

    Patio

    It is not very common, but it also has advantages. Includes:

    • Arbor . As a rule, she has a roof and pillars supporting her - and one of the walls is replaced by the walls of the house or some of the outbuildings. This ensures greater reliability, plus it is easier to protect yourself from the wind. In addition, the presence of a wall allows you to experiment with design.
    • Work and dining areas . Completely universal - but usually the worker is taken out of the patio. Not so much for practical reasons, but for aesthetic ones. nine0013

    Feel free to experiment with design

    Tip

    Opt for a patio if there is a suitable outdoor space near your home.

    for the site, you need to find a place that meets certain criteria:

    • Distance from home . If we are not talking about a patio, where everything is already clear, distance can be a problem. On the one hand, it should not be small - otherwise, as soon as you have guests, smoke may enter the house. On the other hand, it should not be large - otherwise you will be tormented by bringing food from the refrigerator and taking away dirty dishes. In general, it is better if it is more than less - you will not do anything with the smoke, but guests will help with carrying things. nine0013
    • Safety . Regardless of what you will have - whether it is a hearth, whether it is a barbecue, whether it is a real stove - there is a risk of fire. That is why the site is usually paved with tiles that do not burn, and located away from everything that can catch fire - from wooden fences, trees, bushes, playgrounds.

    Try not to place close to the house so that the smoke does not interfere

    • Water . Conducting separate water to the site is costly and time consuming. It is much easier to position it so that you do not have to go too far to the water source. nine0013
    • Wind . If you have a rough idea of ​​what kind of wind blows in your country house most often, you need to position the site so that the smoke from it does not carry towards the house, the place where children play, and generally towards people.
    • Relief . It is difficult to lay tiles on an uneven surface - most likely, you will have to level it additionally, and this is strength, time, and possibly the help of workers. Therefore, it is better to immediately choose a place that does not need it.

    Great patio spot

    It's good if you can locate the site somewhere away from the front entrance to the site - this will allow you to feel some privacy, which is always nice.

    Tip

    Be sure to imagine if you can lay a path to the barbecue. Otherwise, it may be inconvenient to get to it.

    Take care to arrange everything comfortably

    Work area - hearth

    The heart of any barbecue area is the actual place where the food will be prepared. You can limit yourself to a classic barbecue, or you can choose something more exotic - there are several solutions:

    • Brazier . A classic that will never get old. The price is low, reliability rolls over. It is a metal box with legs. On the sides there are holes that provide ventilation, on top along the edge of the recess for skewers. A tree is laid in the brazier, burns to coals, meat strung on skewers is fried on top. No culinary delights are expected, but it will not suffer from rain, survive the winter and will serve perfectly for several decades. nine0013
    • Grill . Somewhat more original - at first glance, it most of all resembles a frying pan, which was put on legs, equipped with a lid and put out on the street. At the bottom of the grill there is space for coals, a grate is attached above them. You can’t fry kebabs on it, but it’s very convenient to smoke fish, meat or fry sausages for hot dogs. There is also a combined design - a grill grid, which allows you to turn it into a kind of grill.

    Barbecue - an eternal and timeless classic for any dacha

    • Garden oven. A good idea for a patio, as it has a chimney, which means that smoke will not enter the house during cooking. It is not intended for barbecues, you can cook in it only in dishes - but you can try a variety of stews, cereals, pies and similar culinary wonders.
    • Open hearth . It is a fire pit lined with natural stone or brick around the perimeter. Allows you to fry sausages on twigs, bake potatoes - bring camping romance to an ordinary garden. nine0013
    • Tandoor . The same garden stove, but in an oriental style. It has the shape of a jug, allows you to bake a variety of cakes and pita bread on the walls. Well suited if you like baking, you like to work with dough and treat your friends.
    • Barbecue . In fact, something between a grill and a barbecue. Remove the grate - you can fry shish kebabs. You put a grate - you can heat up sausages, smoke fish, fry meat. Often equipped with a lid, portable. Can be easily moved from place to place. nine0013

    Barbecue - often used and loved during the holidays

    Tip

    If you want to get the maximum possible functionality from the site, it is recommended to combine a barbecue, barbecue or grill with an oven or tandoor. This combination allows you to cook a variety of dishes according to your mood.

    But at the same time, it is pointless to install the oven in an open area.

    Dining area - furniture

    The furniture that will be installed on the site should be not only (even not so much) beautiful, but functional. Still, she has to stand in the fresh air. And its functionality depends on the material.

    Most often it is plastic. It has advantages:

    • Low price . Plastic furniture costs the least and is therefore the easiest to replace. nine0013
    • Lightweight . It is much easier to carry a table made of plastic into the room than the same one made of wood. Even a not very physically strong person will cope.
    • Reliability . Of course, the reliability of wood cannot be compared, but plastic is absolutely not sensitive to temperature changes, is not afraid of humidity and garden pests.
    • Variety of colors. You can find solid-color furniture, it can be with a pattern, plus the color will be invariably bright, festive.

    Mostly choose plastic furniture

    Of course, there are also disadvantages:

    • Specific appearance. Plastic looks at its price, therefore it does not get along with expensive finishes, complex design.
    • Short life. He is not afraid of water with a temperature, this is true, but on the other hand, it fades rather quickly in the sun, wears out over time, and can crack from impact.

    Plastic furniture is a good solution for an outdoor area. It will be possible not to waste time bringing it into the house, plus, it fits well with the general tone of the tarpaulin and barbecue. nine0003

    Wrought iron furniture is another matter. She has other pluses:

    • Beauty . Metal furniture is usually made elegant, thin-legged, with curlicues. She looks original and interesting.
    • Durability . Metal is not plastic. It can last several decades, especially if you take it into the house and treat it for rust every year.
    • Reliability . It is not afraid of water, temperature changes, does not fade in the sun, does not suffer from mechanical damage, is indifferent to the effects of pests. nine0013

    Durable Wrought Iron Patio Furniture

    Cons Balance:

    • Heaviness . Carrying wrought iron furniture from place to place is difficult, especially if you are not used to lifting weights or if you have a bad back.
    • Price . Metal is more expensive than all other materials - unless, of course, we are talking about expensive types of wood that do not need to be processed.

    But metal looks good almost everywhere. With it, you can turn an ordinary site into an interesting design performance, especially if you wisely approach the search for all other elements. nine0003

    The next material is wood , either solid or vine that can be woven. Pluses match:

    • Beauty . Wood is a noble material, no matter what variety it is. It could be oak, it could be pine, or it could be rattan. Any design from it looks good, interesting.
    • Convenience . If you take not roughly knocked together chairs, but graceful wicker chairs, then it will be comfortable and cozy to sit in them, especially if you put something soft on the seat. nine0013
    • Reliability . If the tree is treated correctly - or if you take a resistant breed - it will not be afraid of humidity, temperature changes, even pests.
    • Durability . If you handle furniture carefully, it will last a couple of decades.

    Wooden furniture always looks beautiful

    Cons also exist:

    • Price . Properly processed wood is expensive, as are rare species. nine0013
    • Care problems . If you do not take care of the tree, it will dry out or begin to rot. It can be devoured by a bug, it can crack from mechanical impact. Therefore, it will have to be processed at least once a year.

    The main thing is to use moisture resistant wood

    Other materials - chipboard or MDF, for example - are practically not used, because they do not survive outside well.

    Finishing and decorating

    In order for the result not only to be comfortable and serve for a long time, but also to look good, you need to pay attention to the decoration and decoration.

    The following coatings are commonly used:

    • Concrete . You won’t have to spend much on this material - the cost is such that most can afford to fill the site again at least every year. It looks, however, not very beautiful, requires a perfectly even base and quickly falls into disrepair. nine0013
    • Rubber tiles . This is used in the decoration of playgrounds, and if you have children on the site, this material may be best suited. It is soft, slightly springy, you can not slip on it. But it can melt when colliding with hot sparks, fades over time and does not look very interesting.

    Paving slab - one of the flooring options

    • Paving slabs . Solid, reliable, she is not afraid of anything and looks very interesting, especially if you use not monophonic elements, but multi-colored ones, laying out a pattern or pattern from them. Can crack if something heavy is dropped, wears out over time, albeit slowly. When buying, you need to pay attention to the class - the higher it is, the longer the tile will last. nine0013
    • Natural stone . It does not look as interesting as tile, but it is very beautiful in its own way. If you are going to make an outdoor area surrounded by green spaces or with an awning of climbing plants, then natural stone will be best combined with them. It can last at least a hundred years, but it is heavy and expensive.
    • Grass . There are varieties of grass that are used to equip garden paths. It is difficult to trample it, and the site will look like a real green meadow. However, it will have to be watered and cut from time to time. nine0013
    • Wood . It looks like parquet - beautiful, chic. But it can be damaged by an accidental spark, requires the same treatment as wooden furniture, and is also expensive. In an open area, it is better not to use it at all.

    Wood on the floor - looks chic and beautiful

    The flooring can be great for zoning space - one material is placed near the hearth, another in the dining area, and as a result they look visually separate.

    If you want to enhance this effect, you can use:
    • Outward extension . If the dining area is on one surface, while under an awning, and the working area is in the open, on another surface, the contrast will be striking. Plus, this way the smoke will definitely come out, and the cook will be able to concentrate.
    • Partitions . Instead of a partition, you can use a screen made of wood or fabric, green spaces, weaving plants, a lattice. At the same time, the screens move easily if there is such a need, but everything else cannot be rearranged in any way. It is interesting that the partition may not be up to the very roof or canopy, but only up to half. nine0013
    • Presence of wall . In this case, one area on the patio is pushed close to the wall, while the other is set aside, apart.

    And, of course, you can not do without lighting in the selection of zones, which can be very different:
    • With one large source . In this case, one large chandelier is hung from the ceiling - a good solution would be to style it like a kerosene one. There are mysterious shadows in the corners, and there is no zoning at all. nine0013
    • With springs around the perimeter. In this case, small lanterns are placed along the edges of the site, which do not give bright light, but provide soft illumination. It will look elegant and interesting.
    • With separate sources in zones . So you can fix the lamp at the barbecue and put the lamp on the table - so the presence of zones will be obvious, and there will be enough light for everyone present.
    • With only one area illuminated. Quite an interesting solution that allows you to select only one zone - most often the dining area. nine0013

    Make good lighting

    As light sources, you can use electric lamps, LED strip (it can be fixed in the foliage of plants around), lanterns that work on solar batteries. If you do not want to buy lanterns, as well as conduct electricity, you can use live fire - candles and lamps.

    Help complete the picture:

    • Textile . The tablecloth, the carpet under the table, the chair covers - all of this should have one style and, preferably, a practical function. nine0013
    • Cooking accessories . They should also have the same style.

    More "home" accessories like vases, napkins, paintings, boxes on the site will be out of place.
