Our advice and tips for setting up a summer kitchen

Choose the right location

The ideal location for an outdoor kitchen is on a terrace.

As the household appliances you intend to install must be connected to your electrical network, it is more economical to install the summer kitchen near your house.

It is quite possible to install it at the bottom of the garden, but this generates additional costs.

In addition, unless you live in a place where it never rains, it is important to think about covering your outdoor kitchen, to shelter your appliances.

You can consider a dedicated roof, or take advantage of a pergola already installed in your garden.

Choose the right materials

If one may be tempted to think that an outdoor kitchen can be designed with the same materials as inside, this is not the case.

It is essential to choose materials that effectively resist bad weather: rain, but also wind, snow, frost, as well as UV rays are all weather attacks that can damage your installation.

This is why the ideal is to bet on non-porous materials such as stone, stainless steel, concrete, marble or more simply tiles.

If you want to put wood at all costs in your outdoor kitchen, it is recommended to choose solid wood, treated to resist water.

For household appliances, choose models suitable for outdoor installation.

Treat yourself

The goal is to make your outdoor kitchen an integral part of your home.

It is therefore essential to combine functionality with aesthetics: you have to like this place!

The choice of materials to be used must therefore be accompanied by a reflection on design and decoration.

In summary, we must not lose sight of the objective of having a summer kitchen that looks like you and meets your needs.

There is a real market for outdoor cooking today, do some research on the internet and seek advice from DIY stores to get an idea of ​​the result you want to achieve.

Do I need a permit to install a summer kitchen?

The answer to this question depends on the size of your summer kitchen.

If you are considering an installation of less than 5 m², you do not need any specific authorization.

On the other hand, if you exceed 5 m², it is necessary to make a prior declaration of work to the town hall of your city.

If your outdoor kitchen exceeds 20 m², you need a building permit.

This document must be obtained before starting work.

However, there is an exception: if you live in an area covered by a local urban plan, you may be exempt from building permits up to 40 m².

It is best to contact your town hall for more information.
