An outdoor toilet is a necessity that can be made part of the surrounding landscape. It is built with your own hands, so you won’t have to waste time and money on hiring a team of workers. There are no special requirements for it, so any modern project can be easily implemented in practice. It is not always possible to create everything in a private house necessary conditions life, so you often have to resort to certain actions.

Options for a private home

For a long time, people only had to use traditional “tiny houses” with a hole in the floor. It’s time to leave such options in the past, seriously thinking about modern projects. Gradually they turn into interesting option, capable of attracting interest with its simplicity and reliability:

• WITH cesspool;
• With peat;
• Dry toilet.

When choosing the appropriate type, a person has to rely on various nuances. If this is not done, the result will not be what was expected. Surely it will be required detailed information, allowing you to freely compare views and then make accurate entries.

With cesspool

Traditional outdoor toilets are still built on sites. Their main feature is a cesspool where sewage is collected. The worst thing is that people do not know how to properly arrange such a structure and make various mistakes.

Building a pit toilet presents various challenges. Most often, you have to spend a lot of time to carry out various actions step by step. Each of them remains mandatory, so no omissions should be made. Otherwise, it will constantly accumulate bad smell or nearby sources will be damaged drinking water.

With peat

The use of peat chips allows you to get rid of the cesspool. In this case, a special tank is used as a storage tank, where the substance is placed in an even layer on the bottom. It accelerates decay as much as possible, so in a short time, sewage turns into an ideal fertilizer for a summer cottage.

The construction of such a toilet involves complex drainage and ventilation system. Otherwise, you won't be able to avoid the smell. It will spread throughout the area, irritating people. So it’s worth thinking in advance about a complex device that guarantees comfortable use of the toilet.

Important! When using peat, the size of the container should be small, but the amount of liquid in it should be minimal.

Dry toilet

Dry toilet – modern solution, which does not require the construction of a separate house. Although it can be installed there to ensure comfortable conditions. The only problem remains high cost acquisition and operation. Because of which few people choose it.

A separate building turns out to be much cheaper than regularly purchasing expensive cleaning products. When choosing, such proposals usually go unnoticed, turning out to be stupid. Moreover, it is difficult to consider them a full-fledged street toilet.

How to build with your own hands?

How to build a toilet? First you have to study step by step guide with some tips. They will help simplify the task so that construction takes less time and also gives a reliable result. Yes, the sizes can be changed according to your own wishes, but the main nuances remain constant:

• First you need to prepare the foundation. The lightness of the design allows you to get rid of the monolith and even strip pouring of concrete. Usually it is enough to install columns on which the frame will later rest or immediately install load-bearing pillars, although this is impractical.
• Next, the main frame is assembled. For it, you should choose a beam on which the main panel material will subsequently be attached. The cross-section is selected in accordance with the size and load, so it is impossible to predict it in advance. A beam of 40x40 mm is considered the minimum, but the figures may vary.
• After this, the floors are laid. For them, a traditional board of 36-42 mm is selected, ensuring the durability of the structure. Often designers offer alternative options, but they complicate construction.
• After this you should put rafter system, chosen in accordance with your own wishes. The simplest is a pitched roof, which does not require professional skills to install.
• The last step is covering the walls and installing the door. For this purpose we select various materials, although wood with a thickness of 20 mm remains traditional.

Constructing your own building in the yard will not take much time if you prepare a cesspool in advance. She should be given special attention, which should be discussed in detail. You will also have to prepare in advance necessary materials so as not to be interrupted from the work at hand.

Construction of a cesspool

Installing a cesspool is a difficult task. If a person believes that simply digging it out is enough, he is very mistaken. It is necessary to use one of the projects that guarantees the proper exploitation of land resources. Which simplest option should I use? Here they are:

• The bottom is filled with sand and then filled with concrete;
• The walls are lined with bricks or concrete rings are placed;
• A cover with a hatch is added on top.

This work is required for proper protection against the spread of sewage to summer cottage. Even with correct location toilets have to face the potential danger of spreading harmful substances through the ground. Accordingly, all rules must be followed.

Important! If groundwater is at a depth of less than 2.5 m, it is prohibited to equip a cesspool.

Which material to choose?

When choosing materials for cladding, some owners of country houses try to save money. They evaluate plastic or wood panels, But ideal option All that remains is the frame or the board. In this case, a person not only gets an aesthetically beautiful structure in the middle of the yard, but also enjoys the irreplaceable benefits of wood:

• Good thermal insulation;
• Durability when cared for;
• Simplicity of plating;
• Easy to fit.

There are a variety of materials on the market today, but wood remains popular. The demand for it continues to grow, since it is impossible to imagine the natural landscape without such buildings. Every detail in it must be perfect, so you should not give up great opportunities to save a small amount.

Where is the best place to build the building?

When wondering how to make a toilet on the street, you first need to figure out where to install it. This is a real problem for inexperienced people who are not familiar with the basic rules. They believe that hiding the building from prying eyes is enough to ensure convenience, but this is not the case.

• The minimum distance to the water source is 30-35 m;
• The minimum distance to the neighboring area is 2 m;
• The minimum distance to the house is 15-20 m.

The combination of all these parameters allows you to make necessary calculations. Ventilation must still be installed in accordance with all rules, but finding space in the yard remains the most important task. If this is not done, you will not be able to escape from unpleasant odors. Yes, you always want it to be as close to home as possible, but you can’t make such a mistake.

How to remove the smell?

The nasty stench from an outdoor toilet scares owners the most summer cottages. They understand very well that it is difficult to cope with it. To do this, you should take into account several available opportunities that have long turned into interesting ways. What are we talking about?

• Proper ventilation;
• Peat;
• Chemicals.

Creation of a ventilation system – prerequisite, but in some cases even it cannot cope with the spread of odors. If it is not possible to urgently order the services of vacuum cleaners, you can use peat. Its addition will allow you to process sewage into fertilizer, which will be absorbed into the soil.

If we talk about daily care, we need to note the available chemicals. They help break down waste into its constituent components, processing them in a unique way. This approach guarantees simplicity, but such expenses rarely suit people. The cost of the compositions is significant, so it is often more profitable to do without them.

Convenient and beautiful toilet at the dacha is not luxury. You can do it yourself, using proven rules and applying a little imagination. After which the surrounding landscape is complemented by an elegant house, surprising in its simplicity and brightness.

Having become accustomed to the comfort of the city, we try to country life make it convenient. Do you agree, what kind of convenience can we talk about if there is no restroom on site? It is necessary to take care of organizing a latrine at the initial stage of arranging your land plot.

Having step-by-step construction instructions, building a toilet in the country with your own hands is not so difficult; it is more difficult to choose a place for it and the model that suits you best. But we will help you do it.

We will introduce you to the rules of arrangement and typical types of country toilets. In the article you will find step by step instructions with drawings that will help you build a full-fledged bathroom on the site. And to help the novice master, a video is attached to the article, clearly demonstrating the process of building a closet on the site.

A toilet is not a simple utility building. When constructing it, you need to remember some rules, the observance of which will help you not to spoil relations with your neighbors in the country and will eliminate possible problems during the subsequent use of the latrine.

Guided by the rules listed below, we will choose suitable place for the future building.

It is important that the country toilet is located as far as possible from the water intake point, and if groundwater comes closer to the surface of the earth than 2.5 meters, a latrine with a cesspool cannot be installed at all

List of requirements for the distance of the toilet from other objects located on the site:

• 12 meters- to the house, as well as to the barn or garage, in which there are underground structures type of basement or cellar;
• 25-30 meters– to the source of water intake for drinking;
• 8 meters– to a bathhouse and shed or garage without basement structures;
• 1 meter- to the fence.

Of course, all areas have individual characteristics, which also need to be taken into account. If the area has complex terrain, then for the restroom you need to choose a flat area located below the source of drinking water. It is important that feces do not come into contact with groundwater.

If sewage will need to be pumped out periodically, it is necessary to provide for the possibility of access of a sewage truck to the work site. Of course, you should take into account the wind rose of your area so that piquant smells do not bother you or those around you.

All these rules are easy to remember, because they are dictated common sense. This is exactly the approach that should be followed when choosing a structure that you will build on your own site.

Types of country toilets

The main feature used to classify outdoor toilets is the method of disposal of accumulated waste. All the rest, including the material used to make the structure, are secondary.

Do-it-yourself country toilets are divided into two large categories: those that have a design and those that do not.

Of course, the types of cabins mentioned below are not a complete list, because there is also a fantasy, the flight of which cannot be limited. For example, here is a carriage cabin in which a dry toilet and washbasin are installed

Cabins for latrines can be purchased at finished form or do it yourself.

They are divided into several types:

• house;
• hut;
• hut;
• birdhouse.

They differ from each other in appearance, size, etc. Typically, summer residents choose a booth that best suits their aesthetic perception.

Image gallery

The construction of such a toilet, as a rule, does not cause any difficulties. In fact, the sewer complex in this case is represented by a cabin and a deep hole. It is into this that waste from the inhabitants of the dacha comes. There they accumulate, evaporating or being partially absorbed into the ground.

When it comes to a toilet with a cesspool, the imagination immediately pictures a building with a hole that you have to aim at, but everything can be conceived and made much more modern and neat

Of course, to service a cesspool, it is still better to use a sewer truck, which is used to remove waste and dispose of it. The size of the pit, the number of users and the intensity of use of the latrine are factors that influence the frequency of calls for vacuum cleaners.

Sometimes the problem is not solved the best way: they simply fill up the cesspool, digging a new one nearby. This can only be done if the pit was shallow and the groundwater is located no closer than 2.5 meters from the surface. As a rule, a fast-growing tree is planted over a filled container.

As for the part of the restroom that is located above the ground, a variety of materials can be used for its construction:

• traditional wood;
• metal profile;
• slate;
• bricks, etc.

The durability of any of these structures depends on the strength of the frame, and ease of use depends on thermal insulation and quality of ventilation.

Option #1. Budget building made of wood

The obvious advantages of using wood to build a latrine are the relative cheapness of this material and the simplicity of the work performed. The plank frame is quite simple to build. You don't need any special skills to do this job.

A brand new wooden restroom looks very elegant, especially if it is impregnated with a special protective composition for wood and varnished

In addition, a structure made of wood is lightweight and therefore mobile. If the need for a new cesspool arises, the above-ground structure does not have to be disassembled and reassembled in a new location. You can simply move it carefully.

There is another obvious advantage of a wooden toilet. If you use your imagination, this structure can become a real decoration of your summer cottage. It can be styled as fairy house or teremok.

However, along with the advantages, wood has a whole list of disadvantages:

• drying out, cracking and deformation when exposed to direct sunlight;
• fading from ultraviolet radiation;
• Frame deformation, mold and fungi are the result of the influence of high humidity.

We should not forget about wear and tear - the influence of time.

If you don’t take care of this building, then in just a few years it can turn into a wretched wreck straight out of a horror movie.

Yes, the building located on outdoors, needs protection. For this purpose, the boards are treated with a primer, after which a special paint for exterior use or varnish is applied to their surface, which beautifully reveals the specifics of the wood.

Option #2. Metal profile construction

There are several options for creating a simple and functional structure from a metal profile, which differ in the material used to make the structure’s frame. In the first case, the frame will be wooden, and in the second, metal.

Metal frame You can cook, for example, from a corner. But, of course, to solve this problem you will need welding machine and the skills to use it.

At the next stage of work, the base is sheathed with a metal profile using self-tapping screws or rivets. When using self-tapping screws, protective washers should be used to prevent moisture from entering the fastening area.

The washers will protect the structure from corrosion and it will last longer. A special coating applied to metal profile sheets during its production also has protective properties.

It is better to place a metal profile structure in a shaded place, because in hot weather the metal gets very hot. Reduce negative consequences Foam sheets, which are used for the interior lining of the restroom, will help to overheat the internal space.

Option #3.Major bathroom made of brick

A brick building is truly a permanent structure. On the one hand, this is good: she is less exposed to negative external factors and will last a long time. But a permanent structure, especially if it is one, cannot be moved from place to place.

Therefore, you should think in advance and carefully not only about the location of the toilet itself, but also about the method of cleaning the pit under it.

The brick toilet looks monumental: pay attention to it concrete base. It can’t be moved, but that doesn’t matter, because they probably thought carefully about choosing a place for it.

It is advantageous to build such a structure when the brick remains after the construction of the main cottage or garage. This, by the way, will give unity to the entire complex of buildings.

Please note that between the above-ground structure and the underground parts of the structure there should be concrete floor. Total cost such a toilet will turn out to be decent.

Toilets without pit cesspool

If your site has rocky soils close to the surface or there is high level groundwater, then you can’t dig a hole. How to make a toilet in such a country house? The way out of this situation is to erect a structure that functions in accordance with other principles.

These restrooms include:

• bio- or chemical toilet;
• powder-closet;
• backlash-closet.

Each of these restrooms has its own design features that are worth talking about.

No. 1. Hygienic backlash closet

The German word "luft" means air. Backlash closets got their name because they have separate ventilation for the bathroom and cesspool. In this design, a pit dug in the ground is replaced by a sealed container.

Moreover, this waste storage device may be located outside the bathroom itself. As a rule, it is placed at back wall main heated structure with a toilet.

In this particular case connecting pipe between the toilet seat and the tank it is installed vertically so that waste can fall into the sealed storage tank by gravity

The storage tank and the toilet are connected to each other by a pipe. If the toilet is located above the room with the tank, then the pipe is installed vertically.

An inclined pipe is intended for the tank located behind the wall. Sewage must enter the storage tank under the influence of gravity - by gravity.

To service the backlash closet, you need to contact the vacuum cleaners, who will periodically empty the storage tank. To make their work easier, the sewage tank is given an elongated shape. Of course, this toilet option is more hygienic than those discussed earlier.

Difficulties in operating the backlash closet arise in the cold season, when the storage tank has to be heated to clean it.

No. 2. Waste-free powder closet (peat toilet)

A distinctive feature of the powder closet is its small capacity, only 20 liters, which fits directly under the toilet seat.

This type of latrine is considered most effective in cases where the groundwater level at the location of the dacha is close to the surface and because of this earthworks limited.

A toilet is a building that is simply mandatory in a country house. Often, it is from this building that the arrangement of the purchased plot begins. At first, you can do without a bathhouse, and without a gazebo, and even without a house or at least a shed for storing equipment, but you can’t do without a toilet.

In order to spend time comfortably in the countryside, you definitely need to take up the construction of a toilet, and you can do all the work yourself. The instructions for creating such a strategically important facility for a given site provide, first of all, for choosing a location.

Choosing an area for construction

Of course, everyone has the right to decide for themselves where to start construction of such a specific facility, but there are a number of sanitary and hygienic standards and restrictions that must be taken into account when choosing the location of the toilet:

• Strict rules regulate the minimum permissible distance between water from which is used for household needs . The construction site must be at least 25 m away from water intake sources;

Pay attention!
When choosing a site, you should take into account not only your own interests and the location of your well, but also take into account the interests of your neighbors and take into account the location of wells on their sites.

• Naturally, the arrangement of such a room is not carried out in the center of the site. Try to choose a more modest, remote location for such construction. It is also prohibited to place a toilet on the very border of the site; you must step back at least 1 meter from it;
• If the area is uneven and there is some height difference, then the toilet should be located in a low area;
• Also take into account the wind rose in order to prevent the spread of unpleasant odors throughout the area;
• For ease of use, consider in advance the convenience of driving the sewer truck directly to the cesspool in order to clean it, because you still have to do this periodically.

Main types of toilets for summer cottages

Differences in the design of such buildings lead to the existence of a certain classification of toilets, which do not provide for the possibility of connecting to a central sewerage system. At the same time, the technology for constructing any of them is not particularly difficult and will not take much time.

You can handle the following types of construction yourself:

1. Pit toilet;

Based on these types of structures, many modifications were invented and built, differing in appearance, design used building materials, which can seriously affect such a parameter as price.

The choice of one type of structure or another depends primarily on the level of groundwater in the area.

Advice. If this level is only 3.5 m or higher, then only a powder closet can be installed on the site.
If the water level is much lower, then your choice is not limited.

Construction with cesspool

Among our compatriots, this type of design has become most widespread. The operation of such a toilet is as simple as possible and consists of accumulating waste in a cesspool dug specifically for this purpose.

If the pit is filled to 2/3 of its height, cleaning is carried out manually or by machine, or the structure is preserved and the toilet itself is moved to a new location, and the filled pit is country toilet covered with earth.

Arrangement of the pit

The construction of a country toilet begins with:

• A hole is dug for a country toilet in the shape of a square with a side of one meter and a depth of two;
• The bottom and walls of the dug hole must be strengthened. Concrete rings for a toilet in a country house can serve as such a reinforcement, brickwork or stone masonry, it is also possible to use wooden logs or boards. The bottom is covered with a layer of crushed stone, which is compacted thoroughly;

Advice. If you are concerned about the tightness of the bottom of the pit, you can concrete it or line it with bricks.

• Next, the pit is sealed by caulking and plastering; this is necessary to ensure that waste does not penetrate into groundwater.

Building a wooden toilet

In fact, the answer to the question of how much a toilet costs for a summer house directly depends only on the materials chosen for construction. In order to save money, most summer residents choose wood for this. The construction process itself is based on the following questions:

Advice. For more accurate and high-quality fastening of vertical beams to the base, metal plates and bolts are used.

To make it easier to use the toilet at night, lighting should be provided, for which electricity is supplied to the building. If there is no electricity, you can be helped out by a service such as renting a diesel generator for your dacha. For lighting in daytime day, you should cut a window in the trim above the door itself.

Pay attention!
The shape of this window can be any, but often holes are cut out in strict geometry or in the shape of a heart.

Hood

A toilet is a structure that is certainly associated with the occurrence of unpleasant odors. In order to minimize this side effect For this type of structure, professionals recommend equipping the seat with a tight-fitting lid; in addition, a hood in the country toilet would also be useful.

To arrange ventilation, the following actions must be performed:

1. The sewer plastic pipe is attached to the rear wall of the building using clamps so that one end is buried 1 dm into the cesspool;
2. The other end of the pipe is led out through a hole made in the roof;

Advice. Ventilation pipe should rise above the roof by approximately 0.2 m.

1. The entry and exit points of the pipe must be carefully sealed, and in order to increase traction, a deflector attachment should be installed on the head of the pipe.

Country backlash closet

This type of design is the optimal answer to the question of how to install a toilet in a country house if there is no sewage system. Backlash closet is a structure that is an intermediate option between a cesspool and a septic tank industrial production and are perfectly used in such structures as country houses from block containers, wood or stone. This type of toilet requires the presence of a sealed container.

Pay attention!
Cleaning a cesspool of this design is carried out only with specialized equipment, so you should not choose a backlash closet if there is no company providing such services near your site.

Powder closet outside the city

This type of construction is as simple as possible because it does not require digging a cesspool. The functions of such a pit are performed by a specialized container or barrel for a toilet in a country house, which is placed directly under the toilet seat, and when filled, is simply taken out.

To ensure partial removal of the unpleasant aroma in such a structure, a box with sawdust, soil, peat or dry straw is placed next to the toilet seat. These materials can be used to powder waste after each visit to this facility.

In conclusion

As you already understood, building a toilet on own dacha Anyone who is at least a little familiar with construction is capable. And if you are not a builder, then if you wish, you can learn everything on your own if you devote enough time and attention to it, and do the work carefully. And the video in this article will tell you even more about construction technology.

Sometimes additional small structures on a summer cottage are as important as the house itself. First of all, because they are designed to provide owners with comfortable living conditions. The first place among such extensions is the toilet. Its installation is carried out first, sometimes even during the main construction period.

You can purchase such a structure ready-made at construction market. However, given the low labor intensity, such an extension is often installed on its own.

Where do you start the workflow?

Any construction object cannot be identified without using certain clues. In construction, design drawings play this role. Likewise The process of installing a country toilet is also taking place. In fact, the drawing is the most accurate instructions on how to make a country toilet.

Unlike a larger structure such as a house, small structures less stringent requirements are imposed. But the rules that must be observed are also contained when installing small buildings.

The significant difference between receiving a drawing of an extension and developing a house construction project is that in the first case it is quite enough to use standard samples found on the Internet. For greater convenience for users, in addition to drawings, numerous photographs of outdoor outdoor bathrooms are also posted on the Internet.

Despite their small size, country toilets are made in the most various types. Most often, the search for a drawing begins by first selecting a photo of a country toilet that someone else built with their own hands earlier.

Determining the location of the country toilet

The toilet on the site is installed away from the house. Thus, unpleasant odors do not reach the main boundaries of human habitation. The exception is when such a structure is installed directly adjacent to the house. In this case, they must install a sewer network with outlet to a pit. It is used when water is supplied to the house.

In other cases, the distance from certain important points is:

• at least 30 meters from a body of water (river, lake);
• at least 15 meters from the location of the house.

The above calculation data corresponds to accepted sanitary and epidemiological standards. It is customary to strictly observe them in order to protect both yourself and your neighbors and, most importantly, environment from negative aspects. These include types of infectious diseases or soil contamination.

Construction of a cesspool

Having decided on the point where the toilet will be installed, a cesspool is dug at this location. Usually its area is within square meter. The cross-section of the pit can be made square or round. If the pit in a country toilet is round, then its diameter is also one meter. The depth is chosen in the range from 1.5 to 2 meters, according to the depth of the groundwater.

Remembering to follow certain rules, in the process of constructing a round or square pit, the following work is performed:

• vertical walls are lined with bricks or concreted;
• drainage is arranged along the bottom. The material used is large crushed stone, stones, broken bricks;
• To strengthen the wall, it is reinforced. For this, a metal mesh is used. For greater strengthening, use a lattice with cells of 100x100 millimeters;
• The last stage of internal processing of the pit walls is alignment with the grid concrete mixture layer thickness from 50 to 80 millimeters.

After the concrete has hardened, the pit is covered reinforced concrete slab with a hole for a toilet seat. It is either made on site, or, more simply, delivered ready-made. The slab acts as a foundation for the toilet.

Before installing it, the pit is covered with boards that extend beyond its boundaries by about 0.8 meters. They must be covered with an antiseptic and buried in the ground at the same level as the ground.

Installation of the main structure

After the site for installing the country toilet has been prepared, the structure itself is installed on it. Here, the first thing that is taken into account when deciding how to make a country toilet with your own hands is the weight of the structure.

The summer option involves a wooden structure. The materials are boards and bars. Outside and inside, if desired, cladding is carried out. You can use lining or, for example, siding. Will fit inside plastic panels. The roof is covered with corrugated sheets.

The main thing that should not be forgotten is the insulation and waterproofing of the structure. During the period of autumn rains, structures unprotected from water can become deformed and damp. The same danger exists in winter.

Studying the drawings and dimensions of country toilets, many take note that standard size country toilet ─ it is 1 meter wide and 2.3 meters high. The length ranges from 1.3 to 1.5 m.

However, it is not necessary to strictly follow such parameters. The design may have other dimensions. The main thing that was stated at the very beginning is the creation of comfortable conditions for a person’s location.

Photo of a country toilet with your own hands

It's a city dweller's dream to buy country house, where you can relax from the hustle and bustle. Well, now you are the owner of the site and the most in demand part is the toilet. What if it’s not there?

But there is a way out - to build a toilet with your own hands, using improvised means, creating your own drawing. Provide comfortable living conditions with your own hands.

How to make a toilet in the country?

A string of questions immediately arises in my head: what drawing to choose, what design to give, what materials will be used. In this article we will reveal the basis and rules for developing your project.

Main types of booths

First, let's figure out what types of structures exist. The simplest type, a building with a cesspool.

But before we start, let's take into account sanitary standards, which operate in Russia: consider the cleaning method and proper waterproofing. Check your neighbors' requirements to avoid conflict situations.

You can make a toilet in your country house using several options.

We list the types of buildings:

• Birdhouse - economical version with pitched roof located on the box. Summer option;
• Hut - complex design With large selection design, keeps you warm in cold weather. Requires more material costs;
• Hut - simple form With gable roof, wind-resistant model;
• The house is a structure with increased strength, a warm option;
• Double rooms - complex construction with a second section;
• Toilet with shower - an additional extension for washing is attached to the main booth;
• A dry toilet can be installed even inside the house. Biotoilets are gaining popularity, since there is no special fuss with them.

There are three types of dry toilets: peat, chemical and electric models. This is the first aid option when construction is underway.

Then you can proceed to a major toilet with a reliable septic tank that will serve for years.

Where to start construction?

A summer resident needs a toilet that is hygienic, clean and pleasing to the eye, while respecting the environmental situation, neutralizing waste, and meeting the requirements for external design.

Capital septic tank with a complex of tanks in the ground

To do this, they most often do three concrete rings, which are immersed in the ground one by one. The upper ones become settling tanks, the third filters sewage that goes into the ground without causing harm to groundwater.

Maintain such septic tanks anaerobic bacteria, which process waste and neutralize harmful bacteria.

You are faced with the following tasks:

• choose a system for draining, draining and disposing of sewage;
• determine the location for the toilet and it is better to choose one remote from the house;
• decide which type of structure is suitable, discussed above;
• choose a design that you can make with your own hands;
• select suitable materials;
• determine the size of the toilet in the country;
• calculate construction cost estimates.

Decide for yourself how you will clean the waste pit if you do not install a septic tank. How can a sewage disposal truck arrive, pumping out sewage?

Have you decided and answered the questions? Now we can start construction, let's take it step by step.

Practice: start of construction

We have decided on the location and will select the desired design. Builders have already developed a certain gold standard of size, the ratio: 2.2x1x1.4 m.

Look at the photo of the country toilet. Having decided on the form, let’s prepare the necessary tools:

Pay attention!

• hammer drill, which can be replaced with a crowbar, for breaking hard ground;
• a shovel, preferably with a short handle, so it’s easier to dig;
• container for waste pit, optimal capacity 200 l;

If you use electrical appliances, take care of the power source.

Make drawings of a country toilet or use the data in the drawing. Consider installing ventilation and insulation. Let's start construction with a waste pit.

First stage - pit

We will dig a deep waste pit for sewage. The standard shape is square, the depth is not less than 2 m. Be sure to strengthen the walls after digging, you can reinforced concrete material, boards or make masonry from stone, brick.

We ensure the bottom of the pit is airtight, fill it with crushed stone or make a concrete screed.

If there is a risk of contaminating groundwater, we will make the walls and bottom waterproof and seal it with special material.

Pay attention!

Second stage - frame

The pit has been prepared, we will begin to build a protective external structure. The prepared frame must be secured; it is better to make it wooden. Let's make markings and drill holes into which we install support pillars. They will provide durability for future construction.

The foundation itself is necessary if you visit the country house all year round, to serve for a long time. First, it needs to be deepened, then bricks or blocks should be placed in the corners; waterproofing will be provided by a roofing material overlay.

Place the material between the prepared frame and the foundation. Immediately begin installing the bottom frame to prevent the roofing felt from drying out from the sun's rays.

Lay the floor, prepare the seat skeleton in place and attach it. Nail the façade frame to the posts. After covering the toilet seat, make a hole.

Now sheathe the facade of the toilet directly; you can choose lining, corrugated sheets, siding and other materials for this. Install the roof sheathing and place any slate or metal roofing on it.

Pay attention!

Finish by hanging the door on hinges and wooden outdoor toilet almost ready.

The third stage - ventilation

To prevent unpleasant odors from bothering you, we will develop a ventilation system in the toilet structure. We use for this plastic pipe with a diameter of 100 mm.

Let's take tin clamps and pull it to the hole made in the roof of the building. The lower end of the pipe must be carried 15 cm into the waste pit, cutting a hole of the required diameter into the seat.

The deflector attachment will additionally help increase traction. There is nothing complicated in construction; anyone can build a simple toilet.
