Toilet for giving do-it-yourself wooden drawings. Country toilet - the simplest version of the construction of the structure. There are two rational grains in this solution

The construction of any summer cottage cannot do without the construction of a sanitary unit in the first place. building this room needed to meet basic human needs. After the construction of the country toilet, the construction of other buildings, gazebo complexes, baths and others begins. It is possible to build a country toilet with your own hands without the involvement of specialists and their highly paid jobs. Before building a toilet, it is necessary to be familiar with the design, installation and certain hygiene requirements that must be observed. It is also important to have drawings of toilets for summer cottages before your eyes, so that the final do-it-yourself design is as correct as possible.

It must be remembered that there are a sufficient number of different norms and rules that must be followed to place a closet on the street. The main rule to be observed is the creation of conditions under which there will be minimal contact of waste with groundwater.

Rules for placing the toilet on suburban area

Before you make a toilet in the country yourself, it is important to study the main criteria that you should follow when choosing a place to build it:

• The required distance from the nearest water area should be at least 30 meters. If the geolocation of the reservoir is lower in level from the building, then the structure must be moved to another place or below the water source.
• The distance from adjacent pits, such as a basement, cellar, and so on, must be at least 15 meters.
• The distance from residential buildings or other structures must be at least 8 meters.
• Distance from places of settlement or habitat of animals - at least 5 meters;
• The distance from the plantations is not less than 1 meter.
• The distance from the fence of the nearby territory is at least 1 meter.
• When building a country toilet, you must also take into account the direction of the winds so as not to disturb your neighbors with an unpleasant smell.

Be carefull. Before the construction of the toilet, it is necessary to clarify the level ground water. Construction is possible only if their level is more than 2.5 m underground.

If it is impossible to build a cesspool, due to the flow of groundwater, you can use an alternative option and build a country toilet like backlash-closet or powder-closet with your own hands. Alternative option a dry closet can act. In such structures, human waste will not touch groundwater.

Requirements for the location of buildings on a summer cottage, including toilets

Attention should be given to the buildings of nearby wells or wells used by your neighbors.

Strict consideration of the rules in the ratio of buildings on your territory and the territory of your neighbors will allow you to properly build a toilet in the country in compliance with environmental standards.

Options for toilets in the country

You can build a country toilet yourself. There are several construction methods that directly depend on the type of structure. The most popular options for the execution of a country toilet:

1. Toilet with a cesspool;
2. backlash closet;
3. Powder closet;
4. Dry closets and chemical toilets.

These are the most common types of country toilets. More details about each version are given below.

Regarding the first type, a country toilet with a cesspool is the most common version of a closet for temporary residences and is an elementary building over a cesspool.

Construction and construction rules

Regarding the type of "Luft-closet", it has a sealed waste pit as part of its structure, which, in terms of its characteristics and dimensions, may differ and have different variations. For disposal in the toilet type "Luft-closet" is used special machine sewage, the hose of which is lowered into the cesspool through a special hatch, which is located at the back of the house.

The third type of “Powder closet” represents a certain container under the saddle itself, which must be cleaned at specified intervals. After each use of the toilet, it is necessary to use additional means of disposal, namely, powdering sewage with peat. This is the cheapest option for a country toilet, but the cleaning process can cause some trouble.

How to build a country toilet with your own hands - you need to perform several operations in the sequence below.

The most popular toilet is with a cesspool. This is due to its ease of use. The process of use is very simple and consists in the direct entry of waste into a deep pit. When the pit is more than 70% full, it requires proper cleaning.

Organizing a pit is not a very complicated process and, in principle, you can do it yourself. Having dug a hole of the required depth (its recommended parameters are 2 × 2 meters and a depth of 2 meters), you should proceed to strengthen the walls of the pit, which in the future will serve as the foundation for an above-ground building. You can strengthen the pit with the help of boards, which must first be treated with a special antiseptic. The pit can be reinforced with concrete rings or with brickwork.

Bottom cesspool it is advisable to do it at an angle down to the back of the toilet house, so that the sewage falls towards the hatch, with which the pit is cleaned.

When laying brickwork, you need to follow its checkerboard pattern in order to take care of the future cleaning of the cesspool. The last six rows of bricks are laid without any gaps solid. If you are building a backlash closet, then it requires some effort to organize the complete sealing of the pit. To achieve this goal, at the bottom of the resulting pit is poured concrete screed. If you decide to make a brick base, then in the end it is still poured with a concrete coating.

For pouring concrete, formwork is made, which can be done using ordinary boards or bars. After the concrete has completely hardened, the formwork frame is completely dismantled.

wooden formwork

It must be remembered that there is a need for a hole for the toilet itself and the implementation of holes for ventilation and pumping out waste.

An alternative option for cleaning the cesspool can be filling it with special chemicals or full backfilling and moving the toilet to another place. This option will be of interest to those who do not want to constantly clean the cesspool.

To date, there are many variations of building or acquiring a ready-made toilet cubicle.

Cabin types

When building a country toilet, there are several options for its execution, depending on the elevated building - the cabin. The main types are:

• Hut;
• birdhouse;
• small house;
• Hut.

Let's consider in more detail.

1. Features of the "Shalash" structures are determined by their structural strength. The disadvantages include the inconvenience of placement inside the building due to the lack of space of the chosen form.

2. Birdhouses in their own way mounting properties not heavier than the previous type of cabin and also have lower costs in terms of the amount of material. The only difference is that mechanically this design is less stable and has excessive heat dissipation. The pluses include unique design and the possibility of placing a water tank on top of the roof.

Do-it-yourself toilet house made of wood

Depending on the financial condition and the ability to work, you can build a booth yourself, which can be done in different ways, depending on the type of material used. Next, the process of building a house made of wood of the "Starling House" type with a cesspool reinforced with bricks is considered.

When laying a brick house, it is necessary to make a foundation, which usually extends beyond the cesspool. The walls of the brick structure themselves should be 10-15 centimeters above the ground in order to place the foundation around the walls in the next step.

The walls of a brick cesspool protrude 10-15 centimeters above the ground

Often, wooden toilet cubicles are used in summer cottages. The rectangular shape of the house and its construction is organized with wooden blocks measuring 100x100 mm. The tree must first be treated with an antiseptic for many years of its service. In the absence of an antiseptic at hand, you can use diluted bitumen in a 1: 1 ratio with water.

To comply with the correct technological process for the construction of the booth, it is necessary to make waterproofing between the foundation and the frame wooden structure house. This can be achieved by laying a strip of roofing material.

The figure below shows step by step process collection booth, described below under the image itself.

The process of assembling a wooden toilet cubicle

1. Placement of the foundation around brick walls. A layer of roofing material strip is laid on the foundation in order to isolate it from water (waterproofing).

   Foundation for a house with a superimposed layer of roofing material strip

2. On top of the foundation, a pre-assembled wooden frame, by screwing.
3. The next step is the floor of the booth, which must be strong enough to support the weight of a person. For this purpose, a board with a thickness of at least 30 mm is taken and screwed with self-tapping screws to a previously installed frame.
4. Frames are being constructed for the front and rear sides of the booth from wooden blocks. The slope of the roof of the country toilet is solved by installing frames of different lengths. The rear, as a rule, is made smaller in height than the front.
5. Further, installed frames the back and front sides are reinforced by connecting transverse bars to each other. In this case, the bars are attached in 2 places: between the frames approximately in the middle of the height and at the very top. The latter will be used to attach boards to them to get a roof. For structural reasons, the upper bars should protrude beyond the base: in front by 30, and in the back by 16 millimeters. Do not get hung up on such strict sizes, a small error is acceptable.
6. Inside the booth, a pre-prepared pedestal frame 450 mm high is installed. This is the most common height, but you can make it different to suit you.
7. Sheathing of the frame of the house. Perfectly suited for this role is a false beam, which performs the function of simulating a solid wall made of timber. It is such an imitation of the connection between the bars with the help of tenon grooves. False beam - imitation of a beam

   On one side of the beam there is a spike, which is inserted into the groove located on the opposite side of the second beam. It is very comfortable. To the frame itself, the imitation of the timber is attached with nails or by screwing in self-tapping screws. To avoid moisture getting into the groove, make sure that he looked down the entire structure, and the spike up. Clapboard or OSB are also good cladding options. At the same stage, the pedestal is sheathed. A hole of the required size is cut out on the top board to accommodate the container in it.

8. The beginning of the roof covering. At this stage, boards are attached to the upper transverse bars (perpendicular to them and parallel to the front side of the cabin). small size with some distance between them.

   The visor is also sewn up from the side of the doors and the boards are attached to each other along the perimeter. Ultimately, an upper roof structure with right angles should be formed.

9. The question of the final readiness of the roof is solved by imposing slate or tiles on it.

When building a country toilet with your own hands, do not forget about its insulation. Of course, you can do without insulation, but in winter time it will be very cold there, which will give you terrible discomfort when you are inside the closet. Styrofoam sheathing can be used to insulate the house of a country toilet. Inside the toilet itself, it is necessary to install transverse strips of wood to organize the toilet seat itself.

With the correct calculation of the project and compliance with standardization standards, the recommended cabin dimensions are as follows:

• Length - 1-1.5 meters;
• Width - meter;
• Height - 2.10 meters.

Cabin doors

Usually, the toilet is installed wooden doors bought in advance or made by yourself. Sheathing is possible with the same materials as the frame was sheathed. After, the doors are hung on 2 hinges in recesses, machined in advance.

A latch or a hook can be used to close the doors from the outside or from the inside. In order for the door not to open inward and in order to close the cracks, platbands are installed.

After receiving the finished toilet house, it is completely impregnated with special materials in order to protect the tree from moisture and pests. Then everything is covered with varnish or paint.

Quite naturally - ventilation is necessary for such a building in order to remove odors that arise during operation. That is why the country toilet, or rather its body, is initially equipped with a hole, into which a plastic pipe with a diameter of 100 mm or more is then inserted.

Ventilation scheme in the country closet

Having passed the pipe into the cesspool to a depth of more than 20 cm, its reverse end is led along the back wall to a height of more than 20 centimeters above the roof level. To improve the hood, a special device is used - a deflector.

Organization of lighting

To conduct lighting in the toilet or not to do this depends on the time of your stay in the country. To save light, a small window can be provided in the design of the toilet. Alternatively, LED flashlights or battery-powered lamps can be used.

Organization of the hozblok

For ease of use, sometimes in summer cottages a combination of a toilet, a shower and a barn is used at the same time. Receipt construction in one block takes less space and economically beneficial in terms of waste disposal. If living in a country house takes place in the summer, this is an ideal option.

Plan economic block Cheburashka

Layout of the utility block with amenity premises

Combining in the order of a warehouse-shower-cloaking room-toilet is called in the common people "Cheburashka". The implementation is similar to building a cabin with support pillars and wooden bars, but differ in size. At correct installation and location ensures compactness and expediency of construction in the future process of its operation.

The only building you can't do without garden plot, is a toilet. It is very convenient when it is located inside the house, although this imposes restrictions on the number and content of outdoor work.

In order not to bring dirt into the house, doing land or construction work, equip a separate toilet, used mainly in the warm season. However, year-round use is also possible, as is often the case, for example, in rural areas. In this case, additional insulation may be needed.

What should be the toilet?

The existing schemes of country closets are very diverse. During their construction, structures made of wood, metal, concrete, brick or plastic are used, which have different functionality and speed of construction. The most aesthetic are wooden toilets, the assembly of which is slower than metal-plastic, but faster than brick and concrete structures.

We can conditionally distinguish the following types of latrines:

• according to the type of sewage collector - with or without a hermetic cesspool. An alternative to the pit are "powder closets", in which feces are collected in a bucket or deeper container and crushed with sawdust or peat. In landscaped summer cottages, dry closets can be installed, although they are not yet widely distributed;
• by type of seat - the most comfortable toilets are equipped with a toilet, while in simpler designs a platform with a seat is built or a hole is simply made in the floor;

• according to the level of amenities - insulated or heated, with a dressing room, combined with a shower, etc. Warm toilets are very practical when visiting a summer house in the cold season. In the dressing room you can undress, which is important with a large amount of clothes during the autumn-winter work.

When arranging and planning a toilet, you should pay attention to the following factors:

• environmental safety - the building should not violate sanitary standards;
• structural strength - the toilet must be strong enough. In worn-out structures, it is not uncommon for people to fall into a cesspool;
• convenience - at the stage of building a summer cottage, you can be content with a toilet without a toilet, while at a capital cottage it is better to equip a more comfortable place.

A wooden toilet differs from its brick and concrete counterparts in its small mass and relative simplicity of design. There are capital and portable toilets made of wood. Portable structures are convenient for quickly changing the installation site, so as not to call for sewers to pump out the cesspool.

On capital summer cottages, this principle is not suitable - the toilet should be aesthetic, convenient and practical. Consider the main stages of the construction of a wooden toilet.

We choose a toilet drawing and determine the dimensions

Since the toilet will not be subjected to heavy loads, it should not be made too massive and durable. The building should only withstand gusts of strong winds, rain and winter precipitation. General drawings and diagrams of a wooden restroom are shown in the figures. You can find a significant number of sizes and shapes of wooden toilets on the net, but you should not follow them unconditionally. Most of the drawings are designed for the average person, therefore, during construction, it is necessary to take into account the dimensions of the people who will use the restroom.

The dimensions of the classic wooden toilet are small. The optimal dimensions are: 2.2 × 1 × 1.5 m (height × width × depth). Such a toilet is easily ventilated and gains heat when used in cold weather. Windows are left above the door or on the sides of the walls for lighting, and lamps are mounted for night visits from inside and outside.

If the dimensions of the owners of the cottage are large, then the width and depth of the toilet can be increased. The height of 2.2 m to the ceiling is most comfortable in natural and weak artificial lighting. The top of the roof is even higher, and the specified height only limits the interior space.

Location selection

The wind rose, the site plan and the location of other buildings will help determine the optimal location of the closet. For moral and ethical reasons, the toilet should not open in the direction of nearby neighbors (unless there is a solid fence or green hedge) and annoy smells when the wind direction changes.

Sanitary and hygienic standards allow you to put a toilet under the following conditions:

• the distance to capital buildings is at least 12 m, and to the shower (saunas, baths) - at least 8 m. The toilet can be combined in a shower cabin if wastewater is discharged into a separate pit;
• distance to pens with animals - 4 m or more, and to the fence - at least 1 m;
• the depth of groundwater must exceed 2.5 m (for a pit latrine). The location of the “powder-closet” and toilets with sealed barrels for sewage is not affected by the depth of groundwater.

The distance from water sources to the toilet should be at least 25 m. In most summer cottages, this requirement is practically impossible, so a well or well is located at the maximum distance up the slope. The toilet is equipped in a lowland so that it does not flood in a flood or during heavy rains.

When planning a toilet, it is imperative to provide for the possibility of periodically pumping out the cesspool. The length of a standard hose for pumping sewage is 7 m, of which 2-4 m falls on the pit. Therefore, the sewer truck must have access to the toilet at a distance of 3-5 m.

What will be required for construction?

For the construction of the toilet is suitable for any wood material. Since one of the reasons for the use of wood is the desire to save money, expensive species should be used only for artistic purposes. A lining or block house will help to increase the aesthetics of the restroom. The use of conventional grooved boards will simplify their joining together and increase the final strength of the structure.

Mineral wool is suitable as a heater for walls, which fills two-layer piers. This material does not absorb odors well, and is also not subject to rotting and burning. Foamed heat-insulating materials are used somewhat less frequently.

Particular attention should be paid to wood finishing. If the building will be long-term, its processing should include:

• antiseptic. Since sewage is an attractive breeding ground for microorganisms and a source of high air humidity, it is desirable to combine antiseptics with waterproofing. Optimal Materials to cover the lower part of the foundation wood - bituminous mastics, which give the tree stability and durability;
• treatment with varnish or paint to reduce exposure to moisture and slow down the aging process of wood under the action of atmospheric oxygen.

The size of the pit pit depends on the anticipated use of the toilet. For most families, a 1 m 3 pit will suffice, which needs to be cleaned every 3-4 years.

To make the use of the toilet more comfortable and increase the period of its effective operation, ventilation of the cesspool and the room itself should be provided. This is usually done with separate ventilation pipes, the upper cut of which should be 40-60 cm from the roof surface.

The optimal design of the toilet bowl installed in the country toilet should not have a bend (“knee”) for a water seal. Water is not supplied to country toilets, so the toilet will be more convenient if it is equipped with one straight guide for sewage. It is better to choose an inexpensive toilet seat so that it would not be a pity to throw it away at the end of the summer season. For winter visits to the country house, a removable insulated seat can be provided.

How not to miss the important - the main stages and materials for construction

The general stages of construction are cutting out the material and the phased assembly of the finished structure. Cutting can be carried out in advance and during the installation of wooden units. For the most convenient and fast work you will need:

• drill and drills;
• jigsaw or circular attachment for a grinder for cutting wood (can be replaced with a regular hacksaw);
• screws or nails;

• scrap (for breaking hard ground);
• shovel with a short handle (for digging a hole);
• drill for soil (for making vertical recesses for corner posts);
• sledgehammer and hammer;
• building bubble level.

Necessary materials:

• concrete posts(can be replaced with metal ones);
• wooden beam (at least 50 mm thick);
• sheathing material;
• roofing material for roofing;
• cement;
• sand;
• dye;

To greatly simplify the work, a cesspool can be dug with a small excavator. It will be much easier to manually align its edges than to throw out cubic meters of soil with a shovel.

The main toilet units are built in the following sequence:

• cesspool - can be of various sizes, be concreted, contain a plastic barrel or a concrete ring;

• foundation is the most solid foundation made from cement mortar, and the most simple designs made entirely of wood. As corner supports, you can use concrete pillars, the bottom of which is impregnated with bitumen. They are deepened into the ground by 0.8-1 m and concreted in order to achieve maximum stability of the structure;
• floor and crate under the seat or toilet. The usual crate is made of a beam of 50 mm, and for capital structures its thickness increases to 100 mm. To increase the strength of the floor, the base of the toilet should be made away from the pit, leaving only part of the toilet with a seat above it;
• building frame. For the frame, metal welded corners or a thick bar are used. Cross connections are made of short bars, and the frame itself is a face correct form. It is possible to connect bars and bars using metal corners or a groove-thorn fastening system;

• external cladding with wooden boards, block house or clapboard. Before finishing sheathing, the inter-wall gap can be filled with insulation;
• roof equipment that has a slope from the front of the toilet to the back (so that water does not flow under the door). The roof surface should protrude from the edges of the toilet by 15-25 cm, preventing moisture from entering under the base of the walls and into the cesspool. In the lower part of the toilet, it is recommended to fill in a concrete blind area up to 20 cm wide, covered with a layer of penetrating waterproofing;
• roof finish. To avoid leakage and decay, the roof should be covered with roofing felt or other sheet waterproofing material;
• internal and exterior finish walls (painting or varnishing). The floor in the toilet can be made of wood or tiled. Such a hard and well-washable base will be more hygienic and durable. Before decorative trim it is advisable to treat the wood of the walls, floor and ceiling with a wood preservative (you should choose a drug for residential buildings).

Equipping the closet with an additional hood located under the seat will reliably get rid of the smell in the room. The essence of the method is to install a high pipe that will draw air through the toilet (seat) and bring it out above the roof level. To implement this scheme, windows or slots should be provided for the inflow of fresh air.

You can decorate the toilet with an artistic drawing or simply with a high-quality applied layer of paint or varnish. climbing plants planted around the restroom will make the room less noticeable.

Mistakes a Newbie Can Make

1. The location of the cesspool close to the groundwater level - can lead to the final deterioration of water sources in wells and wells.
2. Complete tightness of the structure (lack of fresh air inflow) - leads not only to the accumulation of an unpleasant odor, but also to dampness of the wood due to the constant formation of condensate.
3. Laying the floor over the cesspool with thin boards (less than 30 mm) can cause a person to fall into sewage.
4. The use of a common pit for a toilet and a shower leads to contamination of a larger volume of soil space and interferes with the normal flow of fecal fermentation processes.
5. The location of the toilet in the middle of a plot planted with trees and shrubs prevents the passage of a sewage truck.

To eliminate miscalculations in the construction of a country toilet, you should initially carefully consider its planning and construction. Most dangerous consequence is the pollution of groundwater, which can leave an entire dacha association without drinking water. TO important aspects refers to the use quality materials when erecting supports, for which only strong bars, devoid of rot, should be selected.

Features of the construction and design of the ideal toilet for a summer residence, look at the video:

toilet care

1. Ventilation in dry weather - reduces and stabilizes the level of humidity.
2. Periodic painting or varnishing - is carried out as the previous layer of paintwork wears out.
3. Processing with an electric planer - is carried out when massive cracks appear, caused by drying out of the wood.
4. Periodic cleaning of the toilet - is carried out as the level of sewage rises to a level of about 2/3 of the volume of the cesspool. With very slow filling, it is recommended to call a vacuum cleaner at least once every 5 years, otherwise the feces form solid deposits that are difficult to pump out.

The appearance of a backlash of a structure is the first sign that the supports (beams) need to be replaced or repaired. The introduction of new corner and transverse racks into its composition helps to increase the strength of an already loosened structure.

You can get rid of the smell in the country toilet by adding peat or special biological preparations into the pit. IN summertime tomato tops will help to reduce the level of "flavors", further slowing down the development of fly larvae.

Rest and work in a summer cottage without a toilet will always be inferior and uncomfortable. Organizing a wooden outhouse is the easiest way to provide basic amenities. Building a toilet made of wood will help to do without a bathroom in country house small dimensions. The availability of materials and the ability to assemble with your own hands are another plus in favor of a stationary wooden structure.

What every self-respecting owner should have suburban area? Of course, first of all, the toilet. Without it, nowhere. A latrine is an important component of a comfortable stay in nature. And how to make it with your own hands and at the same time save money, this will be discussed.

Modern tendencies

It must be remembered that the latrines of the present time are significantly different from those that were several decades ago. What is it connected with? First of all with the change not in better side environmental conditions, because of which the requirements for sanitary standards have become tougher.

Helpful information:

Also, innovations in the field of recycling and waste disposal, which have become more accessible to the masses, have played an important role. Modernity dictates its own rules regarding the design and comfort of toilets, and this is reflected in preferences. The place where you relieve yourself should now be not only ergonomic, but also attractive.

Based on all of the above, you can slowly start building a toilet in your summer cottage. We will touch upon the topic of capital structures made of brick and concrete slightly, and pay more attention to the external design, which is also of great importance. Like, for example, in this photo:

As for the basis for the toilet, that is, the foundation, then, oddly enough, you can do without it. And that's why. The fact is that during seasonal shifts of the soil, the deeper layers undergo stronger changes, while the surface ones can move 5 centimeters on average. This will not affect the stability of the cabin in any way, except perhaps quite a bit, which will be completely unnoticeable. And piles, foundation tape and pillars, on the contrary, tend to be more skewed.

If, nevertheless, it is decided to install the foundation, then this should be done before the cold weather in order to avoid the above-mentioned problems. The exception is foundations that are well buried in the soil, such can easily endure winter and frost.

So how do you install a cabin without a base?

Everything is very simple. To do this, concrete posts for trellises are taken, and a booth is installed on top of them. You can also put a booth on ready-made reinforced concrete monoliths or bricks. But the first option (columns) will be better. In the southern regions, trellis posts are often used for vineyards, and where the climate is not so mild, they are used for climbing plants.

Tapestry poles are produced from 1.2 to 6 meters long, with dimensions from 10X12 to 20X30 centimeters. They have a trapezoid cross section. On the larger side there are rigging eyes made of wire rod ranging in size from 6 to 12 millimeters, on the smaller side there are rounded corners. To get the pins on which the booth will be attached to the base, you need to cut the eyes in the middle part with a grinder and unbend them.

If a cesspool is provided for the toilet in advance, then you don’t have to worry about the safety of the rear beam of the cabin, which serves as a support. In this case, the negative chemical environment for the tree is not terrible.

If your summer cottage is located in an area where there are frequent winds, then the booth still needs to be strengthened. For this, professional pipes (40x40x2) or support posts made of timber (80x80) are well suited. At the same time, the metal base must be concreted about half a meter below the humus layer, and the wooden base must first be treated with hot bitumen, then with rough roofing material with sprinkling, and then dug to a depth of 30 centimeters.

Structures, cladding and materials

For a booth, as a rule, 4 types of lumber are used. This:

• edged and unedged board (“twenty”) or roof slats measuring 50x20;
• for sheathing from the outside - edged or tongue-and-groove board with dimensions from 20 to 30 millimeters;
• For floor covering and a toilet seat - grooved boards (40X (120-150));
• frame timber (80x80 or 60x60).

The sheathing board can be replaced with OSB (8x20 thick) or waterproof plywood. By the way, from OSB you can cut laths for crates. A little more expensive, but on some sides it will even be better for a forty tongue-and-groove for sheathing.

The best option for lining the cabin with a grooved board is horizontal lining with belts. In this case, the combs of the tongues should be directed upwards, and the grooves downwards, which will protect the skin from the accumulation of unnecessary moisture in the tongue. The door is sheathed vertically.

If the design plan includes curvilinear sections, then it is best to make a marine-type boat sheathing, as shown in the figure. This will be especially good for places where it falls a large number of rainfall, but slightly worse for windy terrain, for which it is best to use tongue and groove. Using an electric jigsaw with a swivel shoe, you can make an edged board from a boat board. In this case, it is important to observe the angle of inclination of the visor of the board, which should be within 30 degrees. It should also be borne in mind that the peaks of the boards should be directed down the slope, as shown in the figure.

It is important to know that after trimming, solid lumber must be treated with special preparations that prevent putrefactive processes -. After that, it is necessary to impregnate twice with a water-polymer emulsion. This drug is affordable and can provide good protection from dampness for many years. Be sure to adhere to a strict sequence of impregnation. Otherwise, PVA glue simply will not allow the biocide to cover the tree. protective film. Materials for sheathing the toilet seat and flooring (from the inside), which are facing the cesspool or the ground, are best processed bituminous mastic or hot bitumen.

The appearance of the toilet for a summer residence

A toilet made of wood in a suburban area is traditionally performed in 4 architectural forms that have funny names. See images.

• birdhouse;
• hut;
• house;
• hut.

In the photo you can see the types of wooden toilet cubicles.

These models do not have significant differences, but there is a difference between them. Which? Let's consider this question in more detail.

11 drawings of a country toilet "Birdhouse"

Even simpler in design, and you need very little land under it. But the design is considered not very durable, and the “birdhouse” is also prone to blowing and does not hold heat well. By the way, these shortcomings apply to all buildings with a shed type of roof. The design of such a structure as a birdhouse toilet is minimized. But this model is perfect as a summer toilet, on the roof of which you can hoist a pressure water tank, where the water will warm up from the sun. In addition, such a "load" contributes to the greater stability of the booth. Also, a building of this type can be used as a room for household needs.

The advantages of this model are: resistance to precipitation and winds, strength, simplicity of design, low material consumption. Disadvantages: it requires a considerable amount of land for construction, as well as the inconvenience in terms of the fact that without calculating the capacity a little, you can hit your head, moreover, from both sides. Therefore, you need to take a height along the ridge of at least 3 meters, but then you won’t be able to save materials.

8 drawings of a country toilet "House"

The type of toilet called "house" is the most popular. Its design is considered better than the "birdhouse" in terms of strength, and the same amount of land and materials for construction will be needed. The “house” is also more suitable for the embodiment of design fantasies, although it will be more difficult to install a water tank.

6 drawings of a country toilet "Hut"

The "hut" is the most complex in design, however, it is very durable and can withstand any vagaries of the weather. An interesting cut gives a field for imagination, the “hut” can be decorated as you like. Well, the functionality and ergonomics are generally on top! Inside, you can equip a hanger, a washstand and a shelf, and it will not take up extra space.

Dimensions of a toilet for a summer residence

The allowable dimensions of the "house" and "birdhouse" on the floor (including the toilet seat) are from 1.5 meters deep and from 1.2 meters wide. The same 1.5 meters for depth are taken for the "hut" with a "hut", while the traditional width is from 0.9 meters. In a hut, this is considered by the level of the shoulders (within 1.6 meters from the floor for a person with average height in shoes), in a hut, measurements are taken along the floor. It is noteworthy that in the "Khrushchev", which are built using blocks, there are toilets with dimensions of 0.7X1.1, but they are not designed to go into them in outerwear and garden shoes.

However, to build a toilet in a summer cottage, it is still permissible to reduce the width to 1 meter.

According to the rules, there should be at least 40 cm from the head of a person in a standing position to the wall, this is especially important when calculating the angle of inclination of the walls of the hut. At the same time, it is optimal to make the height from floor to ceiling 2.1 meters, and above the toilet seat - 1.9 meters. The height of the side of the toilet seat from the floor should be within 50 cm, in contrast to the standard version adopted in apartments, which is 40 cm.

The “birdhouse”, “hut” and “house” models have one common, but in a certain sense, significant drawback: if the door is not locked, both the door and the booth will loosen within 10-20 minutes. If this happens repeatedly, then the toilet cubicle risks losing stability. To prevent this from happening, you just need to install the door on the barn hinges (as shown in the figure), and then there will certainly be no cause for alarm. Because of its strength, the "hut" is not threatened with loosening, so its door can be safely mounted on secret hinges.

Building a booth

The simplest is the installation of a "birdhouse", while the installation process is carried out using nails 100 mm for a beam of 60 mm or 150 mm for a beam of 80X80 mm. Sheathing is nailed with nails 60-70 mm.

The whole process of building a birdhouse is shown in the figures.

Algorithm for building a toilet of the "birdhouse" model:

1. Take the roofing material, then lay it on the corner plates (pillars) and the carrier belt. Roofing material should be simple, without sprinkling.
2. After that, immediately assemble the lower support frame from the timber. Processing is required. Why immediately? Because roofing material not adapted to ultraviolet rays can quickly deteriorate.
3. Then, flooring is carried out to the front edge of the toilet seat. Boards are stuffed into pieces of the remaining frame, the same thickness as for the floor. About processing (especially with inside) also don't forget.
4. We carry out the preparation of the rear and front frames, while the joints cut into half a tree.
5. The back and front frame are nailed to the bottom and reinforced with ties. The ties should be cut in 1/4.
6. The frame for the toilet seat is made in the same way.
7. The toilet seat needs to be sheathed, then cut out the seat window, and then proceed to the wall sheathing.
8. Roof cladding assembly.
9. Any rigid roofing material is used for roofing. A figured window (the so-called "ace") is cut out in the door leaf and above the door itself.
10. A door canopy is made and corners are sheathed.

Now the room is quite usable.

Of course, when building a waste site, other types of buildings are also used, which are shown in this video:

Do-it-yourself country toilet: video

"Hut" is also a fairly popular model, but it is more difficult to build it. Therefore, below are projects that indicate the exact calculations of the material and cutting boards. An illustration is also provided as an example. It should be noted that the door in the "hut" has a high degree of strength and is able to withstand any bad weather, even strong winds. Even if the owner, out of forgetfulness, leaves the door open for some time, the wind, of course, will loosen it, but it will not damage the canvases and repairs will be kept to a minimum.

The project of the cabin of the toilet model "hut": photo

Below are less detailed drawings of several more projects: "birdhouse" (second option), "house" and "hut". However, for those who have already understood how to build a "hut", it will be much easier to deal with the above models.

Toilet in the garden

There are certain factors (which will be discussed at the end of the article), due to which it is better to install the “house” and “hut” models in the depths of the garden, that is, among the trees. But the construction of a latrine in the garden has a number of features. We will not describe them in detail, it is better to watch the video and you will understand everything yourself:

Building a toilet in the garden: video

Outbuildings

In suburban areas, it is traditionally practiced to combine a toilet, shower and outbuildings. Also, rooms are sometimes attached to them. summer kitchens and a place where you can hide from rain or wind (in case there is no house on the site). This is all absolutely correct and justified. And that's why.

The fact is that in the summer cottage the amount of "gray" water that enters the drain after using water in the shower or in the kitchen is much less than fecal. And compared to, for example, residential building, the amount of flow is small. Therefore, it does not make sense to make this very drain separate. A cesspool is a valid and often used option for waste disposal in a utility block. Below are examples of how to make a hozblok along with a shower and toilet in a summer cottage.

Plan of the Cheburashka hozblok: photo

This model of a utility room with a funny name was invented back in the days of the “Khrushchev thaw”. Kits of parts for "cheburashka" can be purchased now, and, most interestingly, under the same names as before. Big plus this option is its reasonable price, functionality, simplicity and minimum occupied space. In this case, the pillars for the support are concreted or dug directly into the ground (profiled pipe 40x40x2, and timber 100x100). Sheathing is currently made using a profiled sheet, and earlier it was customary to sheathe with slate.

The presented figure shows several plans for household blocks, more complex in design:

Layout of utility blocks with a "change house": photo

They consist of large rooms, which include a barn or warehouse, a room where you can hide from the weather and a kitchen. Also, such a room involves the installation of a window in it. You can also equip a mini-room where a sofa, table and chair can fit. Entrance to the shower room and toilet from the street. So, a considerable area of ​​\u200b\u200bsuch a building is a pretty winning option.

The figure below shows a utility room, which is optimal for building it in the corner of the site. This option involves the installation of a washstand summer type, that is, on outdoors. The main difference of this type of structure is its maximum compactness and very small size. It is noteworthy that the building according to the plan is brick, but if it is made of wood, then the dimensions of the premises in the plan can be reduced to 2x2 meters.

cesspool

And this figure shows a diagram of the construction of an economic block and a toilet in the yard. special attention deserves reflector 1, which is
one of the main components of the toilet, because it is he who directs the bowel movements to the front drain pit. Then the whole mass gradually slides into the so-called pumping pocket. During this process, the discarded masses are mixed with bacteria. It is thanks to the reflector that the correct biocenosis occurs. If you do not use it, then the pit will need to be 2 times deeper and larger in volume. "Gray" drains can merge into a pit without a reflector and also fall into its front part. In order to avoid infiltration into the soil, it is imperative to use a blind concrete box 4 and a clay lock 3. An inspection and cleaning door 2 is also essential.

Country toilet in the house

It is quite possible to install a country toilet at home, however, you need to know important rules and decide whole line problems that you may encounter during the installation process. So:

cesspool

It must be remembered that the discharge of wastewater into a well with infiltration into the ground is almost impossible. Otherwise, you will have to adhere to certain distances that are prescribed in sanitary standards. This:

• from water sources, a distance of at least 30 meters is accepted, and with traditional geology (in the middle lane) - from 50 to 80 meters;
• the distance from plantings of food crops and stagnant water bodies should also be from 30 meters;
• the distance from flowing water bodies (rivers and streams) is taken from 15 meters;
• from roadbeds and buildings - 5 meters;
• from the border of the site, bushes and non-fruit trees - from 2 meters.

It should be borne in mind that these rules apply not only to objects on your own site, but also on neighbors' sites. And, as they say, you can’t joke with this, because in case of violations on your part, the law will be on the side of the neighbors.

Therefore, it is very important to understand that the toilet in the summer cottage must be built with a cesspool of a deaf type,. Modern and improved tools designed for cesspools can help a lot with this. Sanitary barrels usually leave the city once a season, and by agreeing with neighbors, you can share the cost of the call among those who use the services.

Summer residents, who are able to independently make something on their site, did not bypass the cesspool. The video below shows how to make a cesspool with your own hands.

Do-it-yourself cesspool: video

Smell

The installation of a toilet with a flush system and a siphon is not allowed even in those areas that have a permanent water supply. Why? The fact is that because of the water there will be an excessive accumulation of moisture, which can have a detrimental effect on the bacteria that live in the pit, which are very necessary for us. As a result, an almost emergency situation can occur and you will have to call a special service and carry out a serious cleaning.

However, the installation of a backlash closet does not exclude that unpleasant odors will not penetrate into the room. This can happen for rather banal reasons: due to the blowing out of the ventilation draft by the wind and its jumps. But there is a solution to this problem as well. In order to avoid the aforementioned misunderstandings, you need or breather. It is forced draft ventilation, due to which a pressure below atmospheric pressure is formed in the pit.

You should not install a fan on the breather broach - this will do absolutely nothing. After all, an ordinary household fan will not be able to function for a long time in an aggressive environment. There are special fans designed for this purpose. However, they are quite expensive. Such fans must be explosion-proof, and they will also need to be cleaned frequently.

In a house with heating, it will be quite easy to install a summer closet. Boiler and furnace options are shown in the pictures. How to do it? One of the most important links is the installation of a backlash channel with thermogradient thrust under the breather. You also need to pay attention to the fact that the breather pipe must protrude at least 70 cm above the roof ridge and the mouth of the chimney. And in order for the hood to function well in warm season(when there is no heating), you need to take a metal pipe and paint it black, which, as you know, attracts heat on sunny days.

There are also options for toilets for cottages without heating. Which? To begin with, let's give an example: in the first "Khrushchev" rather large toilets were installed, and the drain was of such strength that no brushes and other attributes were needed. Such a drain force was achieved due to the fact that the barrel was hung almost under the ceiling, the height of which was 2.8 meters. On the side of the barrel there was a chain with a pear, with the help of which the draining process was carried out. Thus, the height of the flow of water falling down was about 2 meters.

The noise that arose as a result of the descent of water was very strong. Subsequently, they came up with models of compact toilets, where the barrels were located on the back of the seat.

At first, the shape of the toilet bowls was in the form of sinks with a tub, but with a small pressure of water, the contents were almost impossible to flush. Then they came up with toilets with an oblique descent, which was much more convenient. This type of toilet is shown in the figure.

Not so long ago, your obedient servant also decided to improve the toilet in the suburban area. I wanted to buy something with a siphon so that there was no unpleasant smell. A sloping toilet can flush even without good water pressure. And what if you make pressure, as in the "Khrushchev"? So there will be water savings, and the quality of the drain will remain at its best.

At first I thought about buying an inexpensive compact toilet without a dispenser, in which water can be flushed as long as the button is pressed. Then it would be necessary to raise it higher. But then I thought that it would be inconvenient: to stretch high, they give water by the hour, so you have to buy an additional pressure storage tank.

As a result, I took the "shell" with a direct release down. For water, I took a 50-liter plastic barrel and hung it from the ceiling. I decided to supply water for flushing with the help of two pieces of plastic corrugation through a ball valve with a handle so that it could be opened more sharply.

I was pleasantly pleased with the result, because it took only up to 3 liters of water to flush. And if you calculate the number of flushes per day from a tank with a capacity of 50 liters, then it turned out from 15 to 25 flushes per day. On top of that, the bacteria in the pit feel great in this situation!

It is noteworthy that the booths described above can also withstand tanks with a volume of up to 200 liters. However, you should not install them, because frequent drains will oversaturate the pit with moisture, and its contents will begin to overflow and turn sour. I don't think anyone needs it.

Without cesspool

You can make a country closet without a cesspool in the form of a dry closet. But after all, natural or artificial bacteria are used for any sewage system, and it turns out that this “bio” is what it is. Also, when purchasing a dry closet, you can buy not “bio” at all. Therefore, it is necessary to better understand this topic and figure out how to receive and process wastewater bypassing the sewer. In other words, how to install an autonomous toilet on your site.

Toilets - "autonomous" common use can carry out the processing of waste products of two types, biological and chemical. It happens that all this is combined, depending on the connected cartridge. "Chemists" process wastewater in two ways:

• strong oxidizing agents of inorganic origin;
• organic abiogenic reagents (for example, formalin).

Also, "chemists" have a high absorption and throughput, expensive prices. The content of the cartridge is toxic, its disposal and refilling is carried out by specially trained people using special equipment and protective equipment. Therefore, in ordinary living conditions chemical toilets are practically not used.

In dry closets, biocenosis is carried out thanks to specially grown cultures. It turns out that a deaf cesspool, in which the latest antiseptics are used, is also a dry closet. Below are options that do not require pumping and without the accumulation of liquefied effluents.

It is interesting that a type of toilet was used earlier, which has survived to this day and is being successfully used now. This is the so-called. There is also a variety of it: powder closet. They are slightly different, but have a lot in common. Most importantly, they use natural bacteria from swamps saturated with peat. These microorganisms have important properties. What kind? They are inactive, they process little effluent (based on the net volume of the culture). However, their main advantage is their extraordinary vitality, it is also common for these bacteria to hibernate and wake up when favorable conditions occur.

It is accepted that in a composting or simple peat toilet there is a container with a stone drainage of 40-200 liters. It will ensure the absorption of an excess of moisture, and then it will gradually be able to give it away. You also need a breather that will absorb harmful gases. Both are very important for a peat toilet, since without these two components a stable culture cannot arise, it can dry out, fall asleep, turn sour, or die altogether.

plus peat dry closet and ease of use is considered. After visiting it, you just need to pour peat crumbs into the funnel. The contents of the collection should be periodically shaken out on compost heap. After 2-3 years, the aged, disinfected and fermented compost is suitable as a fertilizer. However, a composting dry closet does not tolerate overloads, like a powder closet, and does not eliminate unpleasant odors. If, for example, a walk is expected in the country for several days, then after it it will be guaranteed that the dry closet will need to be cleaned and refilled.

Autonomous toilets based on microflora use advanced high-efficiency bacteria, which are obtained by genetic engineering. The most important thing is that they are completely harmless to people, they have been successfully used since the 80s of the last century, and they have long passed the test of "strength". The process of changing a culture cartridge is as simple as changing a baby's diaper. But its contents must be handed over for processing, as it is not suitable for fertilizer. If you spend 1-2 days a week in the country, then one cartridge cassette is enough for the whole summer, and 2-3 replacements will be needed for the season. I must say that there are quite a lot of varieties of cassettes and it is very important to be able to understand them so as not to acquire a fake.

For example, you should not take an expensive cabin (as shown in Figure 1 below). Of course, it is comfortable, warm, has anti-vandal protection, and is able to take heavy loads. But after all, the shelf life of any bacteria-based cartridge is still limited, regardless of the nature of use. At the same time, the culture can lose its properties before its absorption capacity is depleted, and the price of the cassette is not small.

One should beware of purchasing cheap handicraft goods (as shown in Figure 2). In this case, an “alternative” low-quality and inexpensive bio-toilet is taken (as shown in the picture below) and a cubicle is built around it. As a result, rapid degradation occurs, an unpleasant odor appears, and the cartridge is changed for its own money. And if we take a full-fledged toilet for a summer residence, then better fit country house option (3). Its price is within reason, the resource for drains is less, and it is designed for a family.

The same applies to bionitases. Public high-capacity, which can work both on chemistry and on microflora (pos. 4), are quite costly in terms of money. Special bio-toilets for dachas (pos. 5) have been put on sale, they are cheaper and are based on a family. However, if only water is poured into their barrels, they quickly deteriorate. Water is replaced with a special liquid, which is supplied for flushing in very small doses, literally drops. Therefore, it is important to ask in advance what the toilet is flushed with and the cost of this very flush.

How suburban option bucket toilets (pos. 6) are also used, which are designed for 2-5 days of use with a number of 3 to 5 people. They are good for short term use. There are also chemical options that are conditionally disposable, they are more often used on trips and in the field. Such toilets are rented out, and after the expiration date of the absorber or upon return, they are given for refilling.

Another a good option for giving - a bio-toilet bowl with a separate cartridge (pos. 7). Its main advantage is that it is much cheaper than a whole toilet. The cabin can be made independently or bought. In general, you get a rather comfortable mini-room where you can relieve yourself (pos. 8). For a suburban area, this is perfect, because the cost of a toilet bowl and cartridges is much less than the price of a cesspool for a booth and a zero cycle.

The restroom at their summer cottage allows you to work without being distracted. And you don’t want to go home just to get into the toilet - you can put dirt on the floor. Therefore, one cannot do without a restroom located in the garden. But how and from what to make it? There are rules in building a wooden toilet.

Features of a wooden structure

Summer residents prefer to build a toilet from boards on their site. It is a latrine with a cesspool (backlash-closet) or a structure where a container for biological waste (powder-closet) is used instead of a pit. Both types of toilet are very convenient, but the powder closet needs to be cleaned much more frequently.

It is worth stopping at a backlash closet for a summer resident who has a large family who constantly works on the site. A powder closet is suitable for two or those who spend not so many days a year in the country. In this case, a special container for collecting biowaste will need to be emptied no more than once a month.

This restroom is made of planks

A wooden toilet is in greater demand than a plastic or metal one. A toilet made of wood has a lot of advantages, however, there are also disadvantages.

Advantages

• The wooden structure looks beautiful and, most importantly, is combined with nature. It becomes more original after painting;
• A minimum of finance is spent on the construction;
• It is operated for a long time if it is processed once a year and periodically cleaned;
• Wood masks unwanted odors and smells pleasantly like a forest at first;
• When the life of a wooden toilet is over, it can be taken apart and burned in an oven.

Flaws

• Wood is a material susceptible to fire. To avoid unexpected fire, you can cover the boards with a heat-resistant agent;
• The wood gradually becomes damp and rots, which can be prevented by treating it with a special preparation;
• Over time, the wooden structure deteriorates, because bugs start up in it. So that they do not eat wood, the toilet will have to be treated with a pesticide.

Preparation for construction

First of all, they make a drawing of the future structure, that is wooden cabin with a cesspool underneath. A toilet schematically depicted on paper will greatly simplify the assembly of the restroom frame.

Drawings and correct dimensions

A summer resident can use ready-made drawings of a wooden toilet. He will only need to thoroughly study them and strictly follow the recommendations. Otherwise, the design may turn out to be twisted and sloppy.

Among all kinds outdoor toilet the most common "birdhouse", the shape of which is a rectangle. Unlike the "hut", it requires less skill in construction.

View of the toilet from different sides

Toilet frame and interior decoration

A latrine in the form of a "birdhouse" is usually built 2.3 meters high. The standard width of this design is one meter. And the length of the wooden toilet is less stringent, it can vary from one to one and a half meters. But if you wish, you can slightly increase all other indicated sizes.

Required materials and tools

For the construction of the toilet, materials will be needed in a certain amount. According to calculations, only for the construction of a cesspool, the summer resident will have to prepare in advance:

• 4–6 reinforced concrete rings or a metal barrel;
• 0.25 m3 sand;
• bag of cement;
• 2 buckets of rubble.

When creating the base and booth, you will need the following:

• 4 concrete blocks;
• 2 m2 roofing material;
• 2 buckets of sand;
• 3 six-meter edged boards with a size of 100 mm / 50 mm;
• 3 six-meter floor boards 9 mm thick;
• Edged board 25 mm (6 meters long);
• Wooden six-meter beam 0.05 / 0.05 m;
• Reinforcement cuttings of 0.5 meters;
• Galvanized meter sheet.

The top of the booth will need to be covered with 8-wave asbestos-cement slate, of course, painted.

The building can be sheathed with clapboard made of needles (length - 3 meters, width - 87 mm). The lining will take 4 packs of material.

The assembly of the frame must be carried out using nails 1.2 cm long, 70 mm, 40 mm and 100 mm long (for slate) and self-tapping screws 70 mm long.

A summer resident who plans to independently build an outdoor toilet with a "podium" and a window needs to purchase Additional materials and items:

• Sedushku;
• Glass 0.5 / 0.1 m, galvanized hinges and bead (1.5 meters) for the window.

The door is constructed from a block with dimensions of 0.9 m / 2 m. To frame it, you need 5 running meters clypeus. You will also need to purchase hinges, door handles and a latch in advance.

To work with wood materials, you need to arm yourself with a hacksaw, planer, hammer and screwdriver. And when creating a cesspool, you will need a shovel.

Instructions for building a simple wooden toilet

1. looking for appropriate place for the location of the toilet. According to the rules, it should stand 25–30 meters from the groundwater flow. If it is impossible to maintain the sounded distance, then the summer resident needs to immerse a sealed container in the cesspool so that biowaste does not seep into the ground.
2. Take a shovel and make a hole in the ground. There are no special requirements for its size, but it should slightly go beyond the walls of the toilet or be strictly under it. It is advisable to put tires on the bottom and walls. However, instead, a metal barrel with a volume of 200 liters can be lowered into the pit. The container immersed in the ground must be filled up on the sides, and the soil around must be tamped. Not a bad replacement metal barrel- special containers made of plastic, reinforced with metal ribs.

   Installation of a container for collecting biowaste

3. Concrete blocks are placed at the corners of the runners of the future restroom. The foundation with "pillars" is covered with roofing material for waterproofing.

   Creating a foundation from blocks and boards

4. They begin to create a base: skids are made from the bars, and then they are connected and placed on a ready-made platform. The boards must be covered with an antiseptic.
5. Floor coverings are laid on the runners. So that during the operation of the toilet from below cold air, With reverse side floorboards are sheathed with OSB sheets. Between the boards put heat-retaining material, that is, foam. Attached to the floor again OSB sheets. At this stage, a round hole is created in the floorboards for the drainage of feces.

   Here they made a square hole in the floor

6. The walls of the restroom are assembled from boards 100x50 mm, using nails and self-tapping screws. The wall frames are fixed to the platform using the same self-tapping screws, as well as corners.

   Frame construction

7. Start building the carrier system pitched roof. Notches are sawn in the rafters, and then they are installed on the top board of the gable and side walls. Then they are nailed. OSB sheets are placed on top of the structure, that is, under the roof, laying insulation between them, and a material that protects against moisture penetration. Lastly, slate is attached to the top.
8. Make a door. To make it strong, it is pulled diagonally with two bars. The door is sheathed in the same way as the walls of the restroom. After that, hinges, handles and a latch are attached to it.

Completely finished restroom

Do I need to sheathe a country toilet inside and out?

Finishing the country restroom inside is not necessary. But if the summer resident is not too lazy and sheathes the walls, floor and ceiling of the toilet, then the structure will last much longer. As a material for interior decoration of the restroom, you can use:

• Styrofoam sheets that are attached to the walls tightly to each other, providing insulation from wind and moisture;
• A film stretched over supports slightly separated from external walls. It serves as a barrier to the penetration of cold air into the room;
• Ordinary or decorative edged boards that lay out all the walls inside the toilet;
• Lining, that is, the most aesthetic material for decoration.

If you took up the interior decoration of the restroom, then you should not forget about outer skin. Covering the outside of the toilet is a guarantee of its long service life, despite the effects of precipitation, low temperatures and winds. material for external protection the wooden structure of the restroom can be:

• Drywall;
• Siding;
• plastic panel;
• Metal profile.

Wooden toilet in the country correct solution, because it fits perfectly into the rural landscape and does not require large expenses. Usually summer residents build it in the form of a "birdhouse" with a height of more than two meters. If desired, you can extend the life of such a toilet by completing the internal and exterior finish clapboard and siding, respectively.

Thinking over the arrangement of a suburban area, many even try to make and arrange unsightly functional and outbuildings so that they harmoniously fit into the surrounding landscape.

A toilet for a summer residence may well become even a decoration of the site

There is nothing difficult in building a presentable and functional one with your own hands. You just need to have basic construction skills and have the necessary materials on hand.

When planning to build on the site, first of all, you need to decide on the type of future structure.

Conventionally, all street latrines can be divided into two types: with a cesspool and with a removable container. Constructions of the first type suggest the presence of a hole dug in the ground. The latrines of the second type are equipped with special containers for collecting waste, filled with peat with sawdust, or with a special aqueous solution.

Country toilet with a cesspool

Traditional pit latrine. It is the cheapest and affordable way for the implementation of an outdoor bathroom. The principle of its operation is quite simple: waste products fall into a cesspool, where the liquid part of which is partially absorbed into the soil and evaporates, and the dense component accumulates. To clean the cesspools, they resort to the services of sewage companies.

Scheme: backlash closet device

Backlash closet. It is also equipped with a cesspool, but the walls of which are completely sealed. Emptying the cesspool in such a system is carried out only by pumping, using the toilet itself as a receiving funnel.

Drawing: powder closet equipment

Powder closet. It is a construction of a pedestal with a toilet seat. The storage tank for collecting sewage, placed directly under the toilet seat, is sprinkled with a layer of peat, which has moisture-absorbing properties. A scoop with a bucket filled with a sawdust-peat mixture is installed next to the toilet seat. At each visit to the restroom, a portion of fresh peat is poured into the waste tank. After filling the container, it is taken out into the compost heap. Due to the mobility and compact design, it can be installed both inside a residential building and in a separate outdoor booth.

Liquid bio-toilet

Chemical toilet. By type, it resembles a powder-closet, unlike a bio-toilet, the processing and splitting of sewage in it occurs under the action of chemical reagents. Using liquids based on biobacteria, waste products can be turned into useful organic fertilizer, using as a root top dressing of plants.

Choosing a place to build

Of fundamental importance in the construction of a toilet for a dacha with their own hands is the choice of a place for its construction. It is strictly regulated by the provisions of the current regulatory documents, according to which:

• The distance of the toilet to the water well, well or reservoir should be at least 25-30 meters.
• The restroom must be at least 12 meters away from the residential building.
• Cesspools must be securely isolated.

Location of cesspools in neighboring areas (according to regulations)

• When choosing a place, take into account the features of the terrain and the direction of the wind.
• When occurring on a groundwater site at a depth of up to 2 meters, only a dry closet, chemical or powder closet can be installed.
• In the case of groundwater occurrence at a depth of 2.5 meters, a toilet with a cesspool or a play closet can be erected.

Following these precautions will help prevent Wastewater into drinking water.

Drawing up a diagram - drawing and sizing

Before starting the construction of a street restroom, it is necessary to determine the dimensions of the future structure. The first step is to draw up a diagram or drawing. The shape and design of the future house is limited only by the imagination and capabilities of the master. It can be an ordinary house, a cute little house or an original hut. If desired, options for drawings of country toilets can be taken on the Internet on thematic forums.

The most in demand is a classic house with a cesspool. The most optimal sizes can be considered:

• Height from 2 to 2.3 meters;
• Length 1.5 -1.7 meters;
• Width 1-1.2 meters.

Blueprint: Regular pit latrine

Tip: A detailed drawing with exact dimensions will allow you to correctly calculate the dimensions of the structure and the amount of materials needed, thereby preventing possible errors and unnecessary costs.

Construction of a cesspool

At the installation site of an outdoor toilet, a cesspool is dug, giving it a square or round shape. The depth of the septic tank should not exceed 1.5 meters, and its diameter - 2.5 meters. But as practice shows, cesspools that have a round shape are more functional. They are highly durable and able to withstand heavy loads and pressure.

Tip: For digging a hole, it is better to use a shovel with a short handle. With such a tool, it will be easier to turn around in a tight space. A crowbar or pick will come in handy when digging through harder ground such as gravel, heavy clay, or limestone.

digging a hole right size, compact its base. Instead of tamping, the bottom can be lined with a pillow of gravel. To ensure the necessary sealing of the device, the walls of the pit are laid out with brickwork, or concrete rings are installed.

Construction of a toilet house

The easiest way is to build a toilet house out of wood. As a support for the future structure, it is better to use three-meter wooden bars or metal or concrete poles.

Materials and tools for building a toilet:

• Wooden bars with a section of 100x100 mm and 50x50 mm;
• Edged boards or fiberboard for sheathing;
• Floor boards for arranging the floor area;
• A piece of roofing material of 1.5 meters;
• Hacksaw and planer;
• garden drill;
• Building level;
• Self-tapping screws, nails, hammer.

Construction of a frame for a toilet

Along the perimeter of the structure with garden drill make four holes with a depth of about one meter, the diameter of which is 2-3 cm over size support pillars.
One of the ends of each pipe is treated with bituminous mastic, which prevents rotting and corrosion. The columns are immersed in turn in the holes, deepening by 90-100 cm and fixing them with cement mortar. When the solution acquires sufficient strength, you can proceed to the construction of walls.

Tip: Racks for the back wall of the house are made a little lower to provide a slope for the roof. At all stages of installation, it is necessary to control the vertical installation of racks using the building level.

In parallel with the supporting posts, beams for the door are installed. To give strength to the structure around the perimeter of the vertical racks of bars of the same size, upper and lower trim is performed.

Building walls and installing doors

To ensure waterproofing, a roofing material is laid between the frame and the columnar foundation, on top of which edged boards knocking together a platform-floor.

Important: To prolong the service life wooden elements house, they should be treated with a moisture-repellent and antiseptic composition, which can be purchased at any hardware store.

At a height of about half a meter, perpendicular bars are installed, which will serve as the basis for attaching the toilet seat. Stepping back one meter from the back wall, at the same level, a second jumper is made to equip the seat. Seat base upholstered chipboard sheet or boards. A hole in the seat is cut out with a jigsaw, all corners are cleaned with a planer from burrs. To waterproof the front of the toilet seat along the inner wall, you can use a dense polyethylene film.

Construction of a toilet seat

The finished frame remains sheathed with fiberboard sheets or wooden edged boards 20 mm thick. You can place the boards both horizontally and vertically, fixing them on the frame with screws or nails. If desired, the walls of the house can be insulated mineral wool or sheet foam.

At this stage of work, it is worth taking care of arranging a ventilation window, which in parallel with this will play the role of natural lighting.
door block you can buy ready-made or build your own. It is installed so that it opens outwards, and is framed with a casing. Latches are installed both inside and outside the toilet.

Roof arrangement

The roof can be made from any one you like. roofing material: galvanized iron, tiles, slate, polycarbonate or simple edged boards. The boards are overlapped, fixing with roofing screws.

The roof for a country toilet can be of any shape and from any material

The light in the toilet can be led from the nearest building by throwing a two-core aluminum wire and installing a cartridge with a light bulb with a power of 40-60 watts. An excellent alternative to stationary lighting can be an LED, for the arrangement of which it is not necessary to lay a cable. An LED on a small battery, capable of illuminating a small room, is enough for the whole season.
