  • Build your own garden kitchen – plan and install the electrics

    Partially built outdoor wall of white concrete blocks with exposed electrics, a level tool, and a hammer on top—ideal for a future garden kitchen. A canopy and stacked firewood appear in the background. www.commaik.de

    When building my garden kitchen, the electrics were one of the biggest challenges. In addition to the right cables for the power supply and the perfect positioning of the sockets, proper fuse protection was of course also necessary. It should also be possible to use a TV and a sound system in the garden kitchen at a later date. So I also had to plan for network and audio cables and install them in the garden kitchen.

  • Build your own garden kitchen – brick and glue walls with aerated concrete

    Partially built garden kitchen with light-colored gas concrete blocks, open walls and unfinished columns on a concrete foundation. Trees and a wire fence can be seen in the background. www.commaik.de

    After the base of the new garden kitchen was set and aligned with the gas concrete blocks, I could now start building the walls with the Ytong blocks. A special feature here should become the bar counter of the pool bar, in addition to the window on the south side.

    The foundation of the garden kitchen was ready and now the masonry with the gas concrete blocks could start. Overall, my project for the new outdoor kitchen right by the pool had already been delayed by 6 months. Cov19, shortage of materials and craftsmen sent their regards. The weather also very often put a spoke in my wheel. But now the time had come and it could start.
