DIY Canopy Kitchenette

[WayneSchalk]

I wan to build a Kitchenette for my alu canopy, BUT, I want to make it removable so that I can take it out when I'm not camping.

Could you upload some of your kitchen pics and ideas? I I have an Idea how I am going to make it but would like to see the Ideas going around

[Wegbreek]

Now someone is thinking just like me. Was also wondering how to do this, so I'll be watching this post with interest.

[WayneSchalk]

Ek het my idea wat om te doen, maar ek wil graag so min as moontelik aan die canopy sit sodat as jy die kombuis uit haal is daar nie 'n klomp skroewe en so aan wat agter bly nie

[4x4Maniac]

Ek wil ook mos al een bou, maar nog nie daarby uit gekom nie... Myne moet fixed regs agter wees in daai hoekie. So dit moet net uit sheet alu wees met plywood aan die binnekant en n mat Bo-oor. Dan kom die kitchen utensils daaraan vas met brackets.

I am also very interested in this one, will be watching this one closely...

I have thought hard about this, as well as a pub/ bar.

I had two spare wheels on the Hilux's rear bumper. The weight from those spare absolutely trashed my front suspension and so the wheels were taken off. This left me with two spare wheel bracket/ arms on the rear bumper with nothing to put on there. A while later I was in Agri farm and saw a "Patio Bar" that was a stainless steel box with a shelf that opened downwards to create a serving area on the inside of the steel box. I bought it and started modifying...
1. Carpeted the entire inside. This made it less resilient to breaking bottles that came loose. Also stopped dust ingestion as it created a barrier where the door closed.
2. Added bungy cord so that I could secure the bits and bottles.
3. Mounted it to one of the spare wheel brackets.

Now I can use it up against the rear bumper or swing it open and out of the way of the tail gate, still useable.

When I get a chance I will take pics.

Advantages:
I no longer have to go digging in the canopy for glasses/ bottles/ bottle openers etc.
Ease of access.
Ease of use.
Lockable.
Has it's own table top for place to pour/ ice bucket etc.
Storage place for 4 bottles, cocktail shaker with swizzle sticks and small umbrellas, wine bottle opener, optics, 6 steel mugs, small ice bucket.

Disadvantages:
None so far.

Bearing all of this in mind ... I might just use the other spare wheel bracket to put on another "patio braai" and modify that to become a kitchen. Size wise it will ba a bit small for pots and pans but if I could get a larger one that was deep enough to take a set of pots and pans then I am sure that it would work and work well.

Bou dit soos enige ander kombuis eenheid, maar waar dit vas kom aan dit canopy gebruik jy rivnuts. Dan kan jy dit uithaal as jy by die huis kom en eenvoudig net vasbout as jy dir nodig het.

[WayneSchalk]

Ek het begin met die raam die naweek, maar was meestal besig met werk by die huis, hul het ons hout vloere kom skuur en wees seel, ek sal vanaand pics vat van die raam, maar toe ek nou die raam in mekaar het het ek nog beter idea gery so gaan die raam oor doen

[WayneSchalk]

Ok

Ek is nou terug op die een. was sommer leker om als reg the he vir die Roofrack en dinge het leker geloop. So back to the drawing board.

Ek het reeds die raam gebou maar het besluit om dit te scrap en oor tebegin.

Ek het so paar nuwe ideas gesien wat leker kan werk

[wim]

Moet ook begin met die een. Het klaar alu cannopy op van Gerber4x4 en laai sisteem. Het die cannopy so bestel dat die linker deur ondertoe oopmaak sodat hy kan dien as tafel. Gaan nou begin met verwyderbare kombuis en om hom so stofdig as moontlik te maak.

Mine sits below the RTT and above the bin, but is permanently mounted. The door opens upwards and below is a light for cooking at night. The kitchen slides out and has a two plate gas stove, space for pots, plates, spices, wash basin, cups and cutlery, will post pics of it open when I get a chance. Gas bottle sits in the bin for now but in future will be mounted on the roof to make a bit of space.

Please do!

Wim, sit die deur dan nie te hoog om gemaklik as tafel te dien nie?

Ek het dit op my KZ gedoen, dit was reg vir my maar vir my vrou was die deur te hoog

Dis die enigste ding wat my ook bietjie bother - ek is vertically challenged en as it is, staan die bokant van die bak amper by my ken

Sal maar sien hoe dit gaan werk sodra ek by daai punt kom en wat ek dan gaan maak - gelukkig is daar altyd iets soos 'n ou stoeltjie of klip wat mens op kan staan

Donkey's system works well

[subok]

Cleaner, I see they fit a table on the inside of the fold-down door, which is on a lower level. I think Alu-cab does it.

Ja Kobus jy is reg hy sit bietjie hoog maar daar sal nog n opslaan tafel ook wees. Die een op die Hilux gaan meer wees om te help met in en uitpak van die kombuisgoed.

[subok]

Ja, mens het nooit genoeg plat oppervlaktes as jy kamp nie! Goeie plan.

Baie mooi en netjies gedoen Wim

[WayneSchalk]

Dit lyk baie nice

[Gideonvanzyl]

Netjies man

[Chris16v]

Baie netjies , as ek mag vra wat het jy gebruik om die borde en so so netjies vat te maak

[Senyetse]

Dis ook iets wat ek nog wil doen. Hoe is die hele ding aan die canopy vasgemaak?

[Haboob]

I don't know how Wim dit it, but I used rivets on mine

[wim]

Net soos Edge gese het het ek ook rivnuts gebruik om die kombuis vas te sit , ek het n paar boutjies om los te maak dan kom die hele kombuis uit. Met die borde en ander goed het ek plywood gebruik , eers op karton geoefen tot ek die vorms reggekry het dan op die plywood afgetrek aan die buitekant van die lyn uitgesny sodat die goed los sit en dan gerubberise wat die goed weer laat styf sit het. Met die goed teen die bord het ek rekkies oor die gaping gesit op agterkand van bord met n ringetjie in die gaaping. Nou kan mens nadat die bord in is die ringetjie vat , rek trek die sker insit en ringetjie los dan val die sker nie weer uit nie.
