Barbecue shelter
A barbecue shelter is much more than just a garden accessory. It is a real outdoor living space that allows you to enjoy your barbecues to the full, whatever the weather. Whether you are passionate about outdoor cooking or simply enjoy spending time with your family and friends, a barbecue shelter is a wise investment that will improve your comfort and enhance your outdoor space.
Why install a barbecue shelter?
A barbecue shelter: a simple gadget or a smart investment? The answer is clear: it's a major asset for your garden. Here's why:
- Weather protection: A barbecue shelter protects you from the sun, rain and wind, allowing you to cook and enjoy your outdoor space in all seasons.
- Comfort: By creating a shaded and sheltered space, you improve the comfort of your barbecue area for you and your guests.
- Aesthetics: A well-designed barbecue shelter can add a touch of elegance and style to your garden, blending harmoniously with the surroundings. It's a ‘small’ detail that makes all the difference!
- Functionality: One of the advantages of a barbecue shelter is that it can be equipped with storage space, a worktop and lighting, providing you with a practical and well-organised outdoor kitchen area. All you have to do is think about your ideal shelter... and we'll bring it to life!
- Durable materials: The shelter protects your barbecue from the elements, extending its life.

How much should you budget for an aluminium barbecue shelter?
Investing in a barbecue shelter is an investment in your quality of life. But how much should you budget for this project? Several factors come into play.
- The type of structure: A bioclimatic pergola will generally be more expensive than a pergola with a fixed roof.
- The dimensions: The larger the shelter, the more expensive it will be, but the price per square metre is likely to decrease.
- The materials: The choice of materials (aluminium, glass, etc.) also influences the price.
- The options: Adding options such as lighting, side blinds or heating will obviously increase the total cost.
- The complexity of the project: A customised project will generally be more expensive than a standard model.

Barbecue shelters and safety: what precautions should be taken?
The fun of barbecuing should never come at the expense of safety! Before you can enjoy your new space to the full, there are a few precautions you need to take.
- Choose a clear location, away from any vegetation or flammable materials. Good ventilation is essential to prevent smoke and carbon monoxide from building up, so make sure the air can circulate freely.
- Choose fire-resistant materials for the construction of your shelter. Of course, your barbecue must be in perfect working order, and you must strictly follow the manufacturer's safety instructions.
- Always keep an eye on the embers and never leave a barbecue unattended.
- Finally, a fire extinguisher within reach is an essential precaution.
By following these few simple tips, you can create a safe and enjoyable barbecue area where you can share unforgettable moments in complete peace of mind. Interested? Contact us today to discuss your project and get a free quotation.
