How to ensure your barbeque sheds remain safe to use

Having an outdoor BBQ hut can enhance your enjoyment of your garden, and offer you the chance to entertain your friends and family. 

It is important, however, to properly maintain these sorts of log cabins. Below are some simple steps to make this task easier.

Building these sorts of bespoke log cabins should start with the foundations, and preparing the construction by choosing a site that will allow the addition of a ventilation system is essential. Having a solid base will also help these outdoor huts and gazebos last longer, and helps avoid dampness or weather damage.

Having doors and windows that open easily and extend outwards to allow smoke and smells to escape are essential. It's also important to ensure there’s a quick exit in the event of a hazard. It’s a good idea to conduct regular inspections of these structures, to ensure their safely in the event of a fire or extreme smoke.

Creating plenty of room around the grill inside your BBQ hut shed will help prevent accidents. Building a barrier around it, or locating it in a place away from the main dining or entertainment areas, will also help. 

Paints and varnishes that are fireproof and have a minimal odour could increase the enjoyment of your Swedish BBQ hut. These come without strong smells to distract from the food, and the safety of the structure is increased.
