Garden kitchens made to measure in Campos
Houses around Campos usually have space, and that allows something the coast rarely fits: a proper garden kitchen with running water, not just a unit beside the barbecue. The photograph shows that fuller arrangement — a sink with a tap, a cooking area, storage below the worktop and a continuous pale surface tying it together, set under a pergola with the outdoor dining table alongside. Once plumbing is involved the demands rise, because the point where the sink meets the worktop is exactly the one exposed to rain, irrigation and overnight damp all year. Forming bowl and surface as one piece removes that weak point.
A complete outdoor kitchen
- An outdoor sink formed into the worktop itself, with no sealant around it.
- A continuous surface linking the water area, the cooking area and the workspace.
- Closed fronts to protect the storage from dust and rain.
- A slight fall built into the surface so water does not pool.
- Rounded edges, considered for an area walked on barefoot.
A country outdoor kitchen works in conditions an indoor one never meets: sharp day-to-night temperature swings, dust, pollen and sometimes automatic irrigation spraying across it. What fails first is never the surface itself but the joints and the fittings, so the fewer separate elements there are, the longer the whole thing lasts.
It is worth thinking about winter from the start. Many of these kitchens are used for five months and then stand outdoors unused for another seven. Closed fronts and a surface you can simply hose down mean putting it back into service in May takes minutes rather than a full overhaul.
Campos, Sa Ràpita and Ses Salines
We work in Campos, Sa Ràpita, Ses Covetes and around Ses Salines. On rural properties it helps if we see where the water and power actually reach before defining the unit, since that governs the sink position far more than aesthetics do.
Frequently asked questions
- Can it be left outdoors all year?
- Yes, with an exterior-grade reference. What we recommend protecting is the inside of the modules rather than the surface itself.
- Does it withstand frost?
- Frosts in Mallorca are rare and pose no problem for the material. The real winter risk is to the plumbing, which should be drainable.
- Can I have a sink if the drain is far away?
- It can be solved, but it shapes the design. We look at it first during the survey, because running a long drain often costs more than moving the kitchen.
- How is it cleaned after the winter?
- Water and neutral soap; it can be hosed down freely. Limescale marks from irrigation come off with diluted vinegar.
