polish an outdoor kitchen

[Lillen23]

Hello!

I am in the process of building an outdoor kitchen of about 25 square meters.
Everything is being built with leca and this weekend I will be casting the countertops in place.

I want to plaster the leca later and have googled and looked around quite a bit online about how to do it, with the idea that you should apply a base coat first, then a mesh, and finally the plaster itself.
At my local Bolist store, I asked about this, and he said
-No, no, it's enough to just apply plaster, the method you mentioned is more for house walls...

Is it enough to just plaster directly on the leca, or should I apply a base coat first?

It probably depends on how often you want to redo it. I wouldn't have skipped the priming. The net I might have (with emphasis on might) skipped, depending on how the construction looks. If the outdoor kitchen stands outside, i.e., not under a roof, I would definitely have done it "as one should." All to make it last as long as possible.

Thank you for the response,

Yes, it's outside with a roof over. Do you know which one to prime with?

They are usually called either rödgrund or grundningsbruk depending on the manufacturer used.

How did the kitchen turn out? Can I see a picture?

turned out okay, it was quite difficult to plaster again where I had my wooden boards to draw the plaster with. The corners were a bit tricky too but well now it's done and painted. The painting isn't visible here

Thank you for the update. I think it looks good. I'm also considering building an outdoor kitchen with leca and a roof supported by posts that stand on the wall. I would be very happy if you could post more pictures of the whole thing.

thank you very much, I can upload pictures tomorrow of how it looks now

this is how it looks now.
I haven't installed the electricity or built the doors yet.

Well, gosh, how fancy. That will be fantastic when it's finished.

I'm planning something similar with the difference that the kitchen will be partially dug into the ground (sloping lot), which means the wall will partially be a retaining wall.

Thank you so much!
You can show yours when you are done.

Bumping this thread starter.
Has anyone "cheated" with the polishing and evaluated it?

Hej,
Snyggt utekök, jag håller på med samma grej.
Hur har du fäst dina stolpar ? Står dom på plint eller är de skruvade i lecan ?
