How to build bambo house kitchen | 10 Days start to finish
Day 1: Planning and Design
- Site Selection and Preparation: - Choose a flat, well-drained site for your kitchen. Consider proximity to your main house and accessibility for utilities like water and electricity.
- Clear the area of any debris, roots, and vegetation.
 
- Design and Layout: - Sketch a simple blueprint of your kitchen, including dimensions, doorways, windows, and placement of kitchen appliances.
- Decide on the type of bamboo structure you want: open-air, semi-enclosed, or fully enclosed.
 
- Gathering Materials: - Source quality bamboo poles (around 2-3 inches in diameter) that are treated for durability.
- Other materials needed: nails, rope, thatch or bamboo matting for the roof, gravel or stones for the foundation, clay or cement for the floor, and basic carpentry tools.
 
Day 2-3: Laying the Foundation
- Mark the Layout: - Use stakes and string to mark the perimeter of your kitchen according to your design.
 
- Digging and Leveling: - Dig trenches around the perimeter for the foundation (around 1 foot deep).
- Fill the trenches with gravel or stones to create a stable base.
 
- Setting the Foundation: - Place large bamboo poles vertically at the corners and along the perimeter to serve as the main structural support.
- Ensure these poles are securely embedded into the ground and perfectly vertical.
 
Day 4-5: Building the Frame
- Vertical Supports: - Install additional vertical bamboo poles where needed for walls and roof support.
- Space the poles evenly (about 3-4 feet apart).
 
- Horizontal Beams: - Attach horizontal bamboo beams across the top of the vertical supports to form the frame for the walls and roof.
- Lash the beams securely with natural rope or bamboo strips.
 
- Roof Framing: - Construct the roof frame by adding diagonal bamboo beams to create a pitched roof.
- Ensure the frame is sturdy and can support the weight of the roofing material.
 
Day 6-7: Roofing and Wall Construction
- Roof Installation: - Cover the roof frame with bamboo matting, thatch, or palm leaves.
- Start from the bottom edge and work your way up, overlapping layers to ensure waterproofing.
 
- Wall Construction: - Attach horizontal bamboo slats or panels to the vertical supports for walls.
- If you prefer an open-air kitchen, consider partial walls or leave sections open for ventilation.
 
- Window and Door Frames: - Install bamboo frames for windows and doors according to your design.
- Make sure they are level and securely attached to the structure.
 
Day 8: Flooring and Utilities
- Flooring: - If using natural materials like clay or dirt, level the ground inside the kitchen and compact it.
- Alternatively, pour a thin layer of cement for a more durable floor.
 
- Utilities: - Plan and install basic utilities like water supply and drainage.
- Consider adding a simple bamboo or wood countertop for food preparation.
 
Day 9: Finishing Touches
- Polishing and Sealing: - Sand down rough edges on the bamboo and apply a natural sealant to protect against moisture and pests.
- Add decorative touches like bamboo trim or carvings.
 
- Furnishing: - Install shelves, hooks, or other storage solutions using bamboo.
- Consider adding bamboo furniture like a table and chairs for a dining area.
 
Day 10: Final Inspection and Adjustments
- Structural Check: - Inspect the entire kitchen for stability and make any necessary adjustments.
- Ensure all joints are tight and the roof is securely fastened.
 
- Functional Testing: - Test utilities like water flow and drainage to ensure everything is working correctly.
- Make final adjustments to doors, windows, and any movable parts.
 
- Clean-Up: - Remove any construction debris and clean the area around your new bamboo kitchen.
- Celebrate your achievement with a small gathering or meal in your new space!
