In brick for a rustic appearance, in stone for an assured cachet, in aerated concrete easier to handle, in kit or ready-to-install, many aesthetic and technical possibilities are available to realize a tailor-made barbecue.
However, if this outdoor fireplace is a dream for lovers of outdoor dining, its construction can pose several difficulties that should not be underestimated.
A delicate location
The scent of grilled meats, fish or vegetables may be appetizing, but they are accompanied by an unpleasant smoke. This is why it is not enough to find a place clear of his garden to erect there at high speed his new fixed barbecue. The choice of location must be carefully considered. Your barbecue should face the prevailing winds, which means watching them carefully. In addition, while being conveniently placed near your house for practical reasons of service, you must avoid directly attaching this installation to a wall of your home - to avoid it being blackened - or near trees . In general, it is advisable to delimit an available perimeter at least 1.5 m in height, knowing that a chimney flue projecting at least 40 cm from the support wall will have to evacuate the fumes.
You must also take into account the presence of a possible neighborhood. Your freedom of ownership ends where the peaceful enjoyment of your neighbors begins. However, odors from a barbecue can be a source of litigation. Hence the importance of optimal orientation.
Authorizations sometimes necessary
Despite these precautions, building your stationary barbecue may not be permitted. Without your knowledge, a municipal decree may indeed impose specific restrictions in your municipality of residence. It is therefore better to inform yourself before starting work.
In addition, if you live in a housing estate or in a building, you must first check that the co-ownership regulations do not prohibit this type of installation. In this case, tolerances can be granted for the sporadic use of a simple small mobile electric barbecue. Good to know: unless you exceed a floor area or a footprint of more than 5 m², you do not need to make a prior declaration of work.
