How to make a toilet on the street with your own hands. Toilet in the country: all ways to solve the problem

You cannot do without such a structure as a toilet in a suburban area. It is not difficult to make a country toilet with your own hands if you make some effort and effort. The most time consuming stage in the construction process latrine digging a pit, but this work can be done. The aesthetic side of the building is a secondary issue, the most important thing is to properly arrange a cesspool and create a reliable foundation for the aboveground structure.

It should be noted that some owners of suburban areas do not build a toilet according to the rules and get by with an ordinary bucket placed under the toilet seat. But, one way or another, the waste needs to be disposed of somewhere, so you still can't do without a capital pit. Therefore, it is better to do all the work correctly once and not return to this issue for many years. It is especially important to make a capital structure in the event that residents spend a significant part of the year at the dacha.

When if I do not want to spoil the design of the site by installing it, then it can be hidden in the far corner behind the house, or you can come up with a design for it that will help to organically fit the structure into the landscape.

Choosing the location of the flap and its design

Usually, the toilet is installed closer to the far border of the site, and this is understandable, since at least a slight odor will be present in or near this room. But sometimes they use another option, arranging a cesspool next to the house, and a free corner of the house is set aside for placing a toilet, leading a wide sewer pipe into the pit. This design is mainly used in cases where water is supplied to the house, and the plans include the installation of an insulated container for collecting waste.

In any case, the standards established by the sanitary-epidemiological services should be adhered to. They must be observed in order to protect yourself, neighbors and environment from undesirable consequences such as infectious diseases or soil contamination.

If a cesspool is arranged, it must be located at a distance of at least 30 m from water sources, and its depth should not reach groundwater.
If a septic tank is installed, then it is located no closer than 15 m from the house.
If you plan to use an insulated container that will be emptied as it fills cesspool machine, then it can be installed anywhere, since the waste will not enter the ground.

An insulated tank is also a way out in cases where the groundwater does not pass too deeply and the construction of a cesspool dug in the ground is impossible.

Usually the pits of the simplest country toilet have an area of the order of one square meter... If the pit comes off round, then its diameter should be equal to about 1 m. Its depth is 1.5-2 m, depending on the depth of the groundwater.

After the place for the pit has been determined, you can proceed to the choice of the design of the toilet.

The first thing to consider is the weight of the structure - it will largely be predetermined by the material that is planned to be used for construction. The house itself should not be too heavy, since over time, the soil under its weight may begin to sag and, in the end, the building will be deformed and damaged.

For construction, wooden blocks and boards are well suited, or thin metal - galvanized profiles and corrugated board.

If the decision is made to build a toilet booth from logs or bricks, then you will have to think about a well-fortified foundation. But to build such heavy structures is completely useless, since they still will not become warmer than light buildings. It is better if there is a need for it, insulate the room with insulation materials that are lightweight, for example, foam. Such a building will be both light and warm, not blown out during the cold season, and it will not be excessively hot in summer.

Having decided on the material, you can proceed to the size of the booth.

Typically, a standard toilet is 1 m wide, 2.3 m high, and the length of the room is 1.3 ÷ 1.5 m. However, these dimensions are by no means a dogma and may well vary. In any case, the room should be comfortable for any family member to be in a standing or sitting position.

What is required to build a toilet

Having decided on the design and placement of the toilet, they acquire necessary materials to build it. Wooden or metal "house" can be bought already in finished form... If you decide to build it yourself, then you will need the following materials:

Planks and wooden blocks.
Fasteners - nails and screws.
Metal corners to strengthen the structure timber frame.
Door handle, hook or latch to close the door.
Roof covering material - slate or corrugated board.
Plastic or wooden toilet seat with lid.
At necessary - foamst for insulating the booth, and material for the inner cladding of insulated walls, chipboard, thin board or plywood.

For the device of a cesspool you need:

Cement, crushed stone, sand.
Reinforcement for strengthening the basement of the house.
A metal mesh-netting for covering the pit and metal brackets or pins for attaching this mesh to the ground.

Another option, instead of a mesh and plastering it with concrete, can be a brick, which is used to line the walls of the pit.

In addition, pits are often used for the device, which have holes in the walls. Many summer residents prefer old rubber tires of large sizes.

Another, most environmentally friendly clean version, can become ready capacity- septic tank. They are produced in different sizes, so you can choose the one you want, depending on the number of family members and the length of the period of stay in the country.

Naturally, when building a country toilet, you cannot do without tools, so you need to have:

A hand drill that can help when digging a pit.
Sovkov and bayonet shovel, with a long and short handle.
If the soil is rocky, you may need a hammer drill.
Hammer and screwdriver.
Grinder - "grinder" with discs for stone and metal.
Jigsaw.
A marking tool - a ruler, tape measure, square, building level, pencil or marker.

Cesspool device

Of course, they always start with marking and digging a hole. It will have a square or round shape, depending on the chosen design.

1. If a two-chamber plastic septic tank is installed, then the pit is dug in such a way that the inlet pipe is directly in the toilet cubicle, since a toilet seat will be mounted on it. The neck of the second chamber should remain outside the room - it is needed for regular pumping of the accumulated fecal masses.

Bucks are different shapes, and the size and shape of the pit will depend on this. The size of the pit should be made 20-30 cm larger than the existing capacity, since it is necessary to compact the soil well around it.

2. If the walls of the pit will be finished with concrete or brick, it can be made round or square.

After digging a hole of the required depth, at its bottom you need to arrange drainage from large rubble, stones, brick fragments
Then, its walls are covered with a metal mesh-chain-link with cells measuring 50 × 50 mm. The mesh is fixed by driving scoops from steel wire or pins.
To make the walls stronger, you can additionally reinforce the walls with a metal lattice with large cells of 100 × 100 mm.
Further, by the method of throwing, a concrete solution is applied to the walls, which is left to dry completely. The total thickness of the concrete layer should be about 50 ÷ 80 mm.
After setting the first sketched layer, the walls are plastered to an even state with the same concrete mortar... The plaster hole is left to dry.
The pit is covered either with a finished reinforced concrete slab, or made locally. It will serve as a foundation for the toilet and a platform around it.
Boards are laid on the pit, which should go beyond its limits by 700 ÷ 800 mm and be sunk into the ground to the same level with the ground. Boards should be treated with antiseptic agents. It is quite possible to replace this wooden underfloor with concrete posts.

Two holes are left on the surface for installing the toilet seat and for a cesspool, which should later be covered with a lid. Formwork is installed around the future holes.
A dense polyethylene film is spread over the entire area of the future foundation.
On top of it, a reinforcing lattice is laid, which is enclosed in formwork along the entire perimeter of the future foundation.

The height of the formwork of the holes must be the same as that of the formwork of the entire foundation. The formwork boards will serve as beacons when leveling the surface.
The concrete solution is mixed, poured onto the site, leveled and left to dry. For durability and strength of the outer concrete layer, it is possible, after initial setting, to "iron" the wet surface with dry cement.

After its full maturation, it will be possible to install a toilet booth on the finished site. A hatch must be installed on the hole intended for pumping out the accumulated waste. You can buy it in the store or make it yourself. The hatch cover should be easy to open and close.

3. Another option could be a round pit with car tires... But it should be noted that this type of cesspools is not suitable for permanent use. Such a toilet can only be used in suburban conditions, when residents come only occasionally, for example, on weekends, otherwise very often it will be necessary to pump out the collected waste.

For a cesspool of this type, a round pit is dug by 150 ÷ 200 mm larger than the diameter of the existing tires.
A drainage drainage layer 15–20 cm thick is laid at the bottom of the pit.
Then, exactly in the middle of the pit, tires of one on on the other to the ground surface.
Around the tires, as they are laid, drainage from gravel and sand is poured and compacted. This process continues all the way to the top.
When the tires are fully stowed, a shallow strip foundation... To do this, a trench about 500 mm deep is being dug around the perimeter of the future toilet, into which concrete will be poured.
Trench bottom rammed and covered with a layer of sand 50 ÷ 70 mm, which is also rammed and closed with a layer of rubble of the same thickness.
Dense polyethylene waterproofing is laid.
Then you can proceed in two ways:

- weld and install the reinforcement grid, mount the formwork with a height of 100 ÷ 150 mm above the ground level and then fill it with concrete;

- lay out the brick foundation, and then plaster it with cement.

After the mortar has solidified, the formwork is removed from the cement foundation, and the brick is leveled from above.
Roofing material is laid on its surface, which will separate the concrete surface from the wooden one.
On the foundation or installed finished structure toilet, or it is built independently.

For the convenience of the construction process, a wooden base-frame made of powerful bars is fixed to the foundation from the beginning, and other structural elements will be mounted on it, depending on the chosen construction model.

4. It is impossible not to mention one more way of arranging a cesspool - with the help of metal barrels with a cut bottom. They are installed one on top of the other and in the same way as in the previous case. Around the resulting pipe, a gravel mixture or a mixture of sand with crushed stone is tamped.

A cesspool made of metal barrels - obviously won't last long

It would seem that the method is simple to execute, but it has much more disadvantages than advantages. Metal barrels under aggressive influence both from the inside and from the outside, from the side of the ground, it will corrode very quickly, and such a toilet will not last long.

Construction of a country toilet house

When both the pit and the site for installing the toilet room are ready, you can proceed to the installation of the house according to the previously drawn up scheme.

Toilet houses can have a wide variety of shapes, for example, even in the form of a fabulous hut. An uninitiated person will not immediately determine what kind of room fits so perfectly into landscape design plot. Such a structure can be done with your own hands, knowing the scheme of its assembly.

The photo shows an option, partially made of logs, which give this structure a decorative effect and mask the purpose of the building itself.

The original teremok - you will not immediately understand that this is a toilet

The diagram shows the basis for the construction of a log cabin, only boards are used instead of logs. You can clearly see how the walls gather and the roof slopes rise. Interior space allocated and selected location toilet seat.

Approximate scheme "teremka"

The next step will be the lathing of the roof, roofing and wall cladding with the material chosen for this - it can be either wood or metal.

Such a house can be either installed on a cesspool, or used as a room for a dry closet.

Video: making a house - "teremka" for a country toilet

Another variant of the structure of the toilet, which is called a "hut". In this case, the house is built in the form of a triangle, and its side walls are at the same time a roof. The form is quite simple, so it will not be difficult to build a building.

Toilet - "hut"

This design is not only easy to build, but also easy to use - it is stable at the base and spacious enough inside.

Installation of a toilet - "hut"

The picture shows the entire internal structure of the house, the place of installation of the toilet seat and the method of lathing the walls-roof. Sheathing of the front of the building and the rear wall has begun. The "hut" house can be placed on an equipped cesspool, as in this case, or it can also be used as a room for a dry closet.

This shape of the house can be called traditional, since most often it can be found on plots. But even such a simple design can be decorated according to your preference.

For example, it was decided to make a toilet in this backyard area as a Japanese house. This is evidenced by the hieroglyphs written on a plate suspended on chains, a Japanese lantern at the entrance and even additionally arranged roof... Besides, interior design the premises are also designed in a general style.

Such an attitude to the design of the site suggests that even from such a structure as, you can make a small work of art if you make a little effort.

An approximate diagram of the construction of such a toilet is shown in the figure. It clearly shows the device of the cesspool, the installation of a toilet structure and a hatch on top of it for cleaning. The design is quite simple in the device, and it is not difficult to build it. But in order for it to be reliable, it is necessary to achieve the rigidity of the bonds of all parts with each other.

The inner space of the toilet, arranged above the cesspool, during the construction of the walls may look like this. That is, the base bars are installed on the foundation, on which the frame of the future structure is fixed.

After finishing the toilet from the inside, the room can have such a neat and cozy look.

If desired and opportunities can come up with another design for a country toilet, but do all interior decoration you need warm materials. Not recommended for decoration ceramic tiles, since this is a very cold kind of material, and besides this, in winter time the tile also becomes very slippery.

Video: several options for the device of a country toilet

Dry closet

If there is no way to build a country toilet or there is simply no desire to contact construction works, then you can use the dry closet. This option will save you from digging a hole and, possibly, from installing a house.

Dry closet - perfect solution for summer cottages

Is an autonomous toilet that does not require a separate room or connection to drainage lines

The dry closet consists of two compartments, chambers, the upper one of which plays the role of a toilet bowl, and the other serves for the biological processing of waste. In the second, lower chamber, there are active substances that decompose feces and turn them into a homogeneous mass that does not have an odor. The action of the bioactive liquid to decompose the waste lasts for ten days, then the chamber is cleaned by pouring the contents into the central sewer or into the soil. The method of disposal will depend on what active substances will be used in the dry closet. These substances are T rex types: composting, chemical and microorganic. Each of them is suitable for a specific type of dry closet.

For composting dry closet as active substance peat is used. It has a high absorbency - for example, one kilogram of peat absorbs ten liters of liquid. The odorless compost obtained as a result of active processes is perfect for fertilizing the beds.

Usually, such a dry closet comes with tons of ventilation pipes that remove unpleasant odors during processing.

The dry closet, whose work is based on the use of chemicals, has an indicator that will indicate that the container needs cleaning. Waste processed in this way is discharged into the sewer in order to protect the environment. For such models, special substances with antifreeze properties are produced.
The third kind of this useful tool is a dry closet in which microorganisms are involved in the processing of waste, turning them into compost. The resulting material is environmentally friendly and harmless to soil and animals, therefore, it will not be difficult to dispose of it.

If desired, the dry closet can be installed in the most ordinary room, built with your own hands, which is located in the yard, and for the winter period you can bring it into the house, taking a convenient corner for these needs.

Biological toilet products

To help the owners of summer cottages that have toilets with cesspools on their territory, special means, similar to those used in dry closets.

Before using the product, it is imperative to study the instructions, since the composition is poured or poured in parts. How to use such substances correctly, you can find out from the information on the package, since each product is dosed differently. A similar substance is used, as a rule, very sparingly. For example, one package or can of some funds is enough for a year for a cesspool with a volume of 3.5 ÷ 4 tons.

So, there are many ways to solve the problem of a country toilet - there is always an opportunity to choose one or another option.

The arrangement of a country toilet is one of the primary problems faced by owners who have acquired a plot for the construction of a summer cottage or a private house. It may seem that there is nothing complicated in this, but before starting work, you should carefully consider the location of the building, choose a suitable structure, calculate its dimensions and draw up drawings.

It is quite possible to build a practical and convenient toilet in the country house with your own hands, if you approach the issue seriously, taking into account the ease of use, the complexity of construction and maintenance, as well as the compliance of the structure with the SanPiN standards. Consider the listed nuances and existing models country closets in more detail.

Choice of design

The main feature by which the designs differ is the absence or presence of a cesspool. In addition, the toilet in the country can be outside or located inside the country house.

Some owners equip two toilets in a private house - one "warm" located in the main building, and the other on the street. This is rational, because in cold or rainy weather it is much more comfortable to use the home toilet, and during garden work the street "hut" is more convenient.

Sump toilet

If you plan to live in the dacha for a long time, including in the cold season, it makes sense to make a full-fledged bathroom in the house, combined with a bathroom. In this case, one cannot do without sewage and, accordingly, a cesspool.

For these purposes, the so-called backlash closet is more suitable. It is a sealed cesspool located in the immediate vicinity of the house. Waste gets into it through a pipe, and cleaning is carried out only with the help of a sewage machine. To protect the house from unpleasant odors, a ventilation pipe is brought to the cesspool.

Toilet for a summer residence cesspool standing on the street is an easier option to implement. It can be built and successfully operated even before the construction of the house, and then used as a spare.

Typically, such a structure consists of a cesspool about 1.5 m deep and a small house installed above it. Inside, over the hole for sewage, a special toilet seat is placed and brought to toilet stall lighting. The cesspool is cleaned with a cesspool machine or simply bury it after filling it by 2/3 of the volume and move the toilet to another place. In 6-7 years, the waste will completely decompose.

A country toilet with a cesspool is practical and does not require frequent cleaning of the pit, but there is also a drawback - it can only be installed in areas with deep groundwater (from 2.5 m). In other cases, in accordance with sanitary standards, it has to be replaced with alternative structures.

Country toilet without a cesspool

In a private house, where there is no sewage system, and groundwater or reservoirs are too close, the toilet is equipped without a cesspool. The most economical solution in this case is a powder closet. A toilet house for him looks the same as for a construction with a cesspool, but a special container for collecting feces is placed under the toilet seat.

Photo: powder closet

So as not to bother bad smell, having relieved the need, you need to immediately add a little peat or sawdust after it. After filling the tank, its contents are sent to compost heap and in the future (after 2-3 years) it is used as a fertilizer.

Inside the house, a modified version of the powder closet can be used - a peat toilet. It is designed almost like a regular toilet, but instead of water, there is peat in the cistern, and the sewer pipe is replaced by a container for collecting sewage. Ventilation leading from the tank to the street allows you to get rid of the smell.

A more expensive, but quick to implement and effective option is a bathroom with a dry closet. Such a compact design is suitable for installation both in a private house and on a plot. The dry closet looks like a miniature toilet, consisting of a toilet seat and a feces tank. Sewage processing takes place by adding active microorganisms or chemicals to the tank.

The downside is that the contents of a dry closet with a chemical cartridge cannot be used as fertilizer. In addition, these models require special maintenance.

Choosing a location

If you decide to make a country toilet without a cesspool, this stage of construction is not so important. But an outdoor toilet with a cesspool is erected so that it meets certain rules:

Distance to any water source - 25 m or more.
The booth is located at least 1 m from the fence.
To the basement or cellar - at least 12 m.
Fruit trees are no closer than 4 m and shrubs are 1 m or more away.
You can drive up to the facility with a sewage truck (if you plan to clean the cesspool).

When equipping a bathroom inside the house, in addition to the listed requirements for the placement of a cesspool, the layout of the building is taken into account. It is advisable to make the toilet adjacent to outside wall construction of at least one of the sides, so the ventilation costs will be less.

Note!

In houses with two or more floors, according to sanitary standards, the toilet cannot be located above living rooms or kitchen.

Country toilet dimensions

In accordance with building codes, utility rooms, which include a toilet, should occupy no more than 20% of the house area. A bathroom combined with a bathroom usually occupies from 3.8 m², and a separate toilet from 1.5 m².

Since in the dacha wooden house is rarely superfluous free place, are guided by the minimum allowable size. In a freestanding country toilet, the same minimalism principle applies. The dimensions are taken in such a way that a person does not feel embarrassed in it. Enough 1 m wide, 1.2-1.5 m deep and about 2.1-2.2 m high.

Schemes and drawings

If it comes about a village toilet, when creating drawings, you need to take into account not only the desired dimensions of the structure, but also the materials from which it will be made. You also need to decide on the type of construction and additional elements(washstand, peat drawer, etc.). A country toilet can be built from the following materials:

bricks;
wood;
metal.

By the type of construction, the most popular are a birdhouse, a house and a hut. They all differ in the shape of the roof and appearance... The birdhouse is easier to implement, but it is considered summer option, but the insulated house and hut are suitable for use at any time of the year.

Photo: country toilet "house" with a ventilation pipe

When placing a toilet in a private house, the sewerage device deserves special attention. You can order pipe laying drawings from a professional plumber, but for a building with 1-2 floors it is really possible to do it yourself.

The starting point for drawing up the diagram is the location of the riser and the main collecting pipe. You will also need:

Draw a plan of a country house to scale and mark the risers on it.
Mark in the picture all the plumbing elements and indicate the ways of their connection.
Connect the plumbing to the riser schematically with pipes.
Decide on the diameter of the riser and the fan pipe.
Calculate total length sewer pipes in the house (taking into account the supply for connections).
Consider the location of the external sewage system.

Cesspool device

When building a courtyard toilet for a summer residence, the first step is to outline the contours of the base of the future building, focusing on the drawings. According to the markings, they use a shovel to dig a hole for a cesspool (usually a square one) with a side of 1 m and a depth of 1.5 to 2 m.

By type, cesspools are sealed and absorbing. In the first case, the walls of the cesspool are laid out concrete slabs, bricks, boards treated with bitumen or placed inside a plastic container. In the second case, they are limited to a layer of pebbles or rubble poured onto the bottom of the pit.

Construction of a toilet house (step by step)

Wood is an inexpensive and easy-to-process material, so many owners make a toilet in the country from it. Consider the stages of construction of a toilet house of the "birdhouse" type from boards.

Construction of an outdoor toilet in a private house step by step:

Foundation. In a wooden closet, a columnar foundation of brick or concrete blocks is installed at the corners of the structure. A layer of roofing material is laid on top of the supports.
Frame. The lower part of the house is made of timber treated with an antiseptic (the dimensions of the sides are 15x15 cm or 10x10 cm).
Frame. Checking with building level, on the frame with the help of bolts and metal plates, four posts are fixed. In this case, the front ones are made higher than the rear ones. Then, the top frame and door pillars are attached. Additional diagonal slats are stuffed on three blank walls, and a frame under the toilet seat is installed in the back of the structure.
Roof. The country toilet is covered with slate and roofing felt, you can use the remnants of the profiled sheet (if any).
Sheathing. Boards are vertically nailed to the frame every 15 cm - the basis for further sheathing. The final step is to fasten outside and inside a wooden or plastic lining and hang the door structure.

Important!

For ease of use, you need to make lighting in the country toilet. A standard low wattage ceiling light or spotlights will do.

Features of the construction of a toilet in a private house

To equip a toilet for a summer residence inside the house, the first thing to do is to decide on the type of sewage system. It happens:

Gravity flow. In this case, the waste flows into the cesspool under the influence of water due to the slope of the pipes. The slope should be 2 cm for each meter of the descending pipe.
Pressure head. When laying pipes with the desired slope is problematic, in a private house, you can install a toilet with a special fecal pump that moves waste from the bottom up and allows you to use pipes of a smaller diameter.

Sewer system device

Sewerage sections are connected to each other using fittings, the joints can be additionally lubricated with a sealant. If necessary, long pieces of pipes are cut with an ordinary hacksaw for metal. The structure is fixed on the wall with clips of the appropriate diameter or with clamps on hairpins. If there are already paved cast iron pipes, they are joined to polypropylene using a rubber cuff.

Photo: outdoor sewage pipes

The outer part of the sewage system is placed in a trench, not higher than the level of soil freezing. Pipes made of plastic, cement, cast iron, asbestos are suitable for it. Above the junction of the internal and external sewer systems, an inspection hatch must be placed, and inside the pipe they are installed check valve... This will simplify maintenance and prevent reverse movement. Wastewater in case of overflow of a cesspool or septic tank.

Toilet installation

If sewer system laid, it remains only to install a toilet and a warm toilet for the summer cottage is ready. The floors in a wooden or brick country house are usually made of wood and need to be preliminary preparation- leveling, antiseptic treatment or staining.

The toilet is placed on a prepared flat surface. After making sure that all the holes are joined, they mark the places of attachment to the floor, level the structure and fix it with the fasteners that come with the kit. The connection to the sewer pipe is made through a rubber sealing collar or a plastic eccentric. The cracks in the place where the toilet bowl adheres to the floor is covered up cement mortar, and the joint with the pipe is treated with silicone sealant.

conclusions

Making an outdoor toilet in the country with your own hands or equipping a warm bathroom in a private house is a feasible task, although not easy. Having carefully studied the possible options, not being too lazy to draw up a work plan and estimate the costs, you can find optimal solution for your home. Good luck!

The very first building, which the summer resident thinks about first of all, is an ordinary toilet. You can do without a fence for some time, and even without a house, but without a toilet, country life is absolutely unacceptable. In fact, do not master the same roadside bushes. So, today we will talk about such a primitive, at first glance, structure as country toilet... The presence of which will fill the gap in the harmony of the dacha.

Where to put the toilet in the country?

Due to the difference in conditions, some general rules does not exist, but there are some mandatory requirements.

The place of the proposed toilet should be at least 30 meters from the water source, five meters from the residential building, and a meter from the boundaries of the site;
On rough terrain, the well should be located above the toilet;
And you should take into account the wind rose when choosing a place to exclude unpleasant odors;
If there is a cesspool, then you should immediately attend to the ways of the car's entrance. By the way, the cesspool at high level groundwater best avoided;

What type of toilet should I choose?

Given the tight construction time frame, there are several main types of toilets recommended for summer cottages. This is a cesspool, a backlash closet and a bio toilet (or powder closet). Naturally, they have their own characteristics that will have to be taken into account at the initial stage of construction. And personal preference has nothing to do with it. For example, the location of the aquifer above 3.5 meters narrows the choice to a powder closet. Fortunately, the lower water depth allows any type of toilet to be used.

Sump toilet

This is the simplest type of toilet we are all familiar with. The traditional cesspool device includes the pit itself, where waste gets, which is then removed by a sewage machine, or manually. There is a method when, after filling the hole, it is not cleaned, but covered with earth. And they move the dressing house. And they make such a move every 2-3 years. The biggest advantage of this type of toilet is its simplicity. And the biggest drawback is the unpleasant odor, which, by the way, can be reduced with special devices.

To begin with, you should dig the very hole 1.5-2 meters deep, most often square in plan. The pit walls are reinforced with boards, bricks or concrete rings. You can adapt it to the pit old barrel or laid out in a column car tires... The bottom is concreted or covered with crushed stone. All cracks will be caulked to full watertightness and exclusion of the possibility of runoff entering the groundwater.

Building a toilet house

Further, a house is being built above the pit, standing on four brick posts, at each corner of the house. This will be the foundation, because you simply cannot lay the flooring on the ground, it will quickly rot. From above, the posts are insulated with roofing material. A frame made of 100x100 timber, impregnated with a primer and painted against decay, is laid on top of the posts. We install four posts vertically at the corners, fixed with metal plates. Do not forget to put the racks for the doors, and about the slope of the roof (the front pillars should be longer than the rear ones). We build a seat frame directly above the pit. We put beams for the roof on the upper part of the structure. We lay roofing material and slate on the beams. Outside, we nail the bars onto the frame with a pitch of 15 centimeters, on which the finishing plating is already being mounted. Inside, the toilet is sheathed with plastic or wooden clapboard, but under the flooring you need to take a strong board that can withstand the weight of a person under the influence of an aggressive environment. The finishing touch is the interior lighting of the house.

Ventilation device

Let's consider one unpleasant moment of the cesspool - it is an unpleasant smell. It will not be possible to completely block it, but it can be reduced as much as possible by a sealed cover on the toilet seat and high-quality ventilation... Ventilation is carried out with an ordinary plastic sewer pipe for 100, fixed with clamps on back wall toilet house. The pipe at one end is led through a hole in the podium 10 centimeters into the cesspool, and protrudes 20 centimeters above the roof of the house at the other end. The joint of the pipe with the pit is insulated with tow with bituminous mastic... And the top of the pipe ends with a deflector.

Toilet system - Backlash closet

This is the next step towards converting a cesspool into an industrial septic tank. A pit is also dug under this type of toilet, but only absolutely sealed, which will only be cleaned with a sewer machine. For this, the pit is pasted over with waterproofing, for example, clay coating 0.5 meters thick.

The backlash closet design consists of two parts.

One of them is located in a residential building, and looks like an ordinary toilet bowl. The only difference is in the waste receiver;
And the second part is located outside the building and looks like a cesspool. The upper part of which has a double hatch for a sewage machine, the space between which is filled with a heat insulator;

Powder-closet toilet system

The main advantage of a powder closet is that it does not have a cesspool. The container for receiving waste (elementary tank or bucket) is located directly in the toilet seat. The principle of the toilet is simple: after each use, the waste is sprinkled with peat, sawdust or just earth from standing next to box. In fact, structurally, all modern bio-toilets are powder closets.

A well-equipped closet is a guarantee of a comfortable pastime outside the city

A correctly chosen place is the key to the successful construction of a sanitary facility, its durability and strength.

Helpful advice! Before building a toilet, be sure to carefully study the recommendations for choosing a location. The durability and convenience of the design largely depends on this.

Before starting construction, pay attention to the following points:

On the drawing of your site, mark the places located at least 8 meters from the well with water, 7 from the house and 1 from the fence. These will be the best options for construction.

The next point to pay attention to is the height of the site. An excellent option for construction is the lowland.
The soil on which the toilet will be built should not be very wet.
Wind direction is one of the most important indicators to consider. We must try to ensure that the prevailing direction is not directed towards residential premises.
Another important point: the shade, which in the case of a country toilet should not be constant, just as the location of the structure in the sun is unacceptable. The best way out of this situation is to build a toilet under a tree that casts shadow only at certain times of the day.
If the construction is planned for a long time, it is necessary to provide a convenient access for the sewage truck in order to clean the cesspool in time.

Important information! Do not under any circumstances build a toilet on the site of an old destroyed closet or garbage pit - this can be dangerous in further operation!
