Do-it-yourself brick brazier drawing
As it is not obvious, but if you do not have a barbecue yet, do it. For a brick barbecue, you do not need special materials and super skills - a simple drawing of the barbecue, a dozen bricks, an iron bar and an iron sheet - and you will have an excellent result.
We raise the brickwork to a height of 70-75 cm and put pieces of an iron rod on the mortar, on which we then put an iron sheet. Lifting the masonry higher, we lay in the side walls at 2 different heights for the barbecue grill.
Your gazebo with barbecue: important details
Today a gazebo with barbecue is more than just a place for barbecue. Many of us want to have almost the same conveniences in it that we are used to in the house. In addition to the barbecue, gazebos can include smokehouses, skewers, braziers, ovens. From all the variety of existing options, we will choose our own - practical, thinking what we will most often use and how much it is adapted to our needs. Often a small gazebo, which has only the most necessary things, is much more comfortable and functional than a pretentious one, stuffed with a variety of devices.
Add a cooking area next to the barbecue
If you have a small gazebo with barbecue, add a table and a sink to it - this will turn your gazebo into a real summer kitchen. For your table, be sure to include a well-cleaned worktop and a small shelf for frequently used kitchen utensils. If possible, put a refrigerator in the gazebo - it will be convenient to store meat and drinks in it.
Make practical use of the gazebo space
The dining table with benches is a traditional solution for the dining area of the gazebo with barbecue. But if you need to save space, make these benches slide under the table so you have more cooking space.
Purity
In terms of material use, the entire gazebo should be durable, serve well outdoors, and be easy to clean. This means wood, stone and metal processed from decay.
Don't forget about the cook
There is nothing worse than cooking for the whole company and hearing only bursts of laughter behind your back. Cooking and seating should flow into one another, isolating guests from the hot zone on the one hand, and allowing the chef to be the center of the party on the other. This is best done by a high bar counter raised from the other end of the cooking zone. After all, watching the chef cook grilled meat for you is a great start to any feast.
Keep warm in the gazebo
In cool weather, to keep warm and protect from the wind, special pvc curtains can be used in the gazebo. If the purchase of such curtains seems like an unnecessary luxury to you, you can make them yourself. You will need to buy PVC film, cut it to the size of the gazebo openings, edge it with a strong fabric and put eyelets around the edges. With the help of a cord threaded through the eyelets, you can attach the curtain to the gazebo.
It is always a good idea to use additional heat sources in the gazebo - for example, infrared lamps. They can be placed near areas of maximum functionality - dining or cooking areas.
If your barbecue is next to the gazebo, make a canopy over it
If your grill does not have a hood, it should not be placed in a gazebo, but it can be placed next to it. Provide a shelter for the cook over the grill so that a sudden downpour does not interfere with his work.
Add an open hearth
By equipping an open hearth near or on the edge of the gazebo, you can cook kulesh in it and get an additional surface for cooking. So, on the main grill, you cook meat, and on the hearth, put a grate and cook vegetables. And everything is being prepared at you at the same time.
Add a seating area next to the gazebo
This can be either just a paved area next to the gazebo, or an additional shed that is part of the gazebo structure, or just an umbrella above the table on the street.
In cool climates, a seating area can even be a separate gazebo.
Convenient firebox
Make sure there is a convenient place to store firewood next to the gazebo. This saves you the trouble of going to the other end of the garden for a couple of logs in the dark.
Make the entrance to the cellar from the gazebo
Convenient entrance to the campground from the gazebo on one side will save you the trouble of installing a refrigerator in the gazebo; on the other hand, it will make the entrance to the cellar more harmonious than a lonely mound in the corner of the garden.
Create a special mood with lighting
The combination of the general lighting of the site with the bright illumination of the arbor will create the right balance between functionality and a harmonious atmosphere. Moreover, the cooking area in the gazebo should be brightly lit, and for the dining area and recreation area it is better to make adjustable lighting - you must somehow create a special mood!
Gazebo with barbecue. Fire-fighting measures
All electrical appliances in the gazebo must be grounded. Electrical wiring must be carried out with outdoor cable. Wooden structures must be treated with fireproofing impregnation.
Place the gazebo in a cozy corner of the garden
While placing a summer kitchen next to the house has a number of advantages, there are advantages to placing a gazebo with barbecue in the far corner of the summer cottage. Here, along with food cooked on an open fire, you will give yourself a feeling of escape from the everyday hustle and bustle: enjoy the magnificent view and the silence of the garden.
Decorate a gazebo with barbecue
A barbecue gazebo in your garden is the perfect place to use your taste in furnishings and decor. And the decor here, not only the decorations on the wall, but also curtains and kitchen utensils and flowers on the table. Let the gazebo become your cozy refuge in the midst of everyday worries.
Use landscaping elements to highlight the gazebo area in the garden. The very architecture of the gazebo is an important element of the entire landscape design of the site.
Make interesting additions next to the gazebo to highlight the special meaning of this area in the garden. For example, set up a herb garden or a large flower garden next to the gazebo.
