Covered Summer Kitchen

Plancha, barbecue, sink, fridge, and storage. Water and electricity points are essential.

Depending on the surface area and location, a declaration or permit may be required. Inquire at your local town hall.

Pergola, awning or canopy. Plan for closed storage to protect equipment.

The best orientation is generally south or southwest, to make the most of sunlight and warmth. This also helps protect the covered outdoor kitchen from prevailing winds.

Opt for flooring that is resistant to moisture and bad weather, such as tiles, stone or concrete slabs, or treated wooden flooring. This will facilitate maintenance and ensure better durability for your covered outdoor kitchen.

Choose waterproof outdoor lighting that is resistant to weather conditions. LED spotlights or string lights can create a warm and friendly atmosphere in your covered outdoor kitchen, while being functional.

You can install protected outdoor electrical outlets, allowing you to plug in cooking appliances, a refrigerator, or even a sound system. Make sure all equipment is designed for outdoor use in your covered outdoor kitchen.

You can enhance your covered outdoor kitchen with climbing plants on the pergola or awning, as well as flower or herb pots. This will add a touch of greenery and freshness to your outdoor space.
