Why do you need a barbecue area

Since food cooked on an open fire has an amazing aroma and unique taste, such structures will always be the focus of attention of all family members.

This video presents many options for arranging a barbecue area in the country.
How to equip
The construction of a barbecue complex begins with the preparation of a construction project and drawing up a drawing diagram. Having a project will allow you to avoid many mistakes that negatively affect the functionality and usability of the facility.
Design options and styles
The barbecue complex can be completely open, semi-closed or closed. Depending on the type of building material used, there are wooden, metal, metal-plastic and other structures.
The color scheme and design are determined by the style of execution of architectural objects located on the territory of the dacha. The following types of buildings are at the peak of popularity:
- open-type veranda with barbecue in a classic style;
- country-style construction adjacent to the house;
- a small playground in the style of minimalism, modern or high-tech;
- barbecue complex in the garage, in the backyard or by the pool;
- an open pavilion with massive columns-arches in a modern design.
Objects in European, Eastern, Mediterranean and Arabic design styles look no less interesting.
Seat selection
At the design stage of the territory of the site, a place is selected for organizing a barbecue and recreation area. The optimal place is a garden area located close to the house and protected from the wind. If you plan to lay out a playground, it is desirable to have partial shade and sunlight.
The proximity of water supply and electrical networks will be a great advantage. But to install an outdoor stove or barbecue, you need to choose a section of the garden protected from the wind. At the same time, there should be no trees, shrubs and various wooden buildings nearby. To avoid fires, keep all flammable items away from fire.
Site design
The level of comfort depends on the correct division of the territory into sectors. So, a barbecue complex should have at least three functional sectors: a food preparation area, a dining area and a recreation area. Sectorization can be stationary or inferred. Separate one object from another, if there is such a need, can be done with the help of furniture, decorative elements and plants.
The floor can be concrete, stone, wood and natural.Natural turf is defined as grass or fine gravel. The cooking area should be as safe as possible, so the use of wood as a floor covering is unacceptable. The floor covering from multi-colored paving slabs looks practical and interesting.
For the manufacture of the canopy frame, a metal-plastic profile, metal slats and wooden beams are used. The structure cladding can be made with polycarbonate, wood mesh, metal elements and other building materials.
Furniture and accessories
Furniture for the barbecue area should be as comfortable and practical as possible, so that in case of worsening weather, it can be quickly moved to the house or gazebo. The easiest and least expensive way to equip the site is with plastic chairs and tables. But over time, cracks, scratches and chips appear on the surface of such furniture.
According to the designers' recommendations, furniture made of artificial rattan and natural wood can be used for the barbecue area. Wooden and rattan furniture is characterized by practicality, reliability and durability. The attention of summer residents is attracted by a stylish design and a variety of assortments.
For the manufacture of sofas, tables, chairs and other pieces of furniture for the barbecue area, you can use car tires, wooden barrels and euro pallets.
As for the decor of the barbecue complex, it is interesting to decorate the site with the help of lighting fixtures, fabric and plants. Flower pots and hanging pots placed around the perimeter of the site give a feeling of comfort and unity with nature. Built-in light bulbs, LED lights, wall sconces and floor lamps with dim lighting create a calm and comfortable environment.
A cozy and properly equipped barbecue area will become the main resting place on the territory of the personal plot. Since it is here that you can arrange family tea parties, romantic evenings and fun gatherings with family and friends.
