Separately standing toilet- almost an obligatory part of the dacha. This is no longer just a “birdhouse” with a hole in the floor and some kind of toilet seat; now quite modern and hygienic toilets are produced for country toilets. How to choose a country toilet for an outdoor toilet so that the “convenience” is comfortable?

Why do you need an outdoor toilet at your dacha?

An outdoor toilet in a country house can be either the main or a spare one. It can only be used in the summer, so as not to enter the house, but it can unload the home bathroom, especially if guests have arrived at the dacha or if the family is large. Two toilets are more convenient for a large family because the second one can be used when the main one is occupied.

In an outdoor country toilet, they no longer make a hole in a wooden floor or a small elevation. This option is inconvenient and unhygienic. For a country toilet, you can choose a comfortable toilet that is convenient for people of any age to use.

Types of country toilets

The main types of toilets in the country for an outdoor toilet are porcelain and plastic. Some install ordinary toilets designed for apartments, but there are also more practical varieties designed for the characteristics of a toilet in a country house, where there is often no proper flush. The “apartment” option has significant disadvantages:

• if it is placed on wooden base, it may not withstand the weight of the structure, and reinforced concrete is quite expensive,
• such a toilet may cost more than the toilet itself.

Porcelain

Special porcelain models for dachas are smaller in size than apartment options and do not have cistern. They also do not have a bottom; they are designed to be installed above a septic tank. The hole in the bottom of the toilet should be wide so that sewage can easily fall into the hole and it is easy to clean.

An example is the “Dachny” model toilet shown in the photo. It has a seat, a lid, and it is possible to supply water for flushing.

Attention! Even country option The toilet bowl is quite heavy, so it can only be installed on a concrete base.

Plastic

You can also buy a plastic toilet for a country toilet. They are lightweight, durable, and easy to wash and remove to clean the pit (septic tank). They look neat, they are on sale large selection colors and shapes.

Such models can be either with or without a bottom. To install above a septic tank, you need a model without a bottom, or you can cut it out.

However, a problem arises with installing such a toilet for a country toilet on plastic septic tank in the form of a barrel. The difficulty is that the toilet is usually oval shape, and the hole of the barrel is round.

For installation you will need additional materials:

• mastic - automotive or silicone,
• galvanized metal sheet,
• boards.

For installation, the metal sheet is rolled into a cone, one base of which corresponds to the size of the hole in the barrel, and the other to the size of the toilet bowl. The cone is placed into the hole of the barrel with one end, and the other end is fixed to the base of the floor. The joint between the cone and the plastic barrel is covered with mastic. Next, lay the wooden floor. They put a toilet on it and outline it with chalk. This hole needs to be cut out, for example, with a jigsaw.

Advice! For a more aesthetic appearance a toilet seat for a country toilet is attached to subfloor, and after installing the toilet they do a finishing job.

With your own hands

You can make the simplest wooden version of a toilet with a plastic seat yourself. To do this, you will need a toilet seat from a regular toilet and a board. If the toilet does not yet have a floor, then half is covered with boards, then a horizontal beam is installed at a height of 40 cm from the floor and boards are nailed from it to the floor and horizontally to create a kind of “counter”. A hole is cut out to fit the size of the toilet seat and the seat is secured. This option is more hygienic than the traditional hole in the floor, and the plastic seats are easy to clean and disinfect.

You can use an unnecessary but durable chair for the toilet. This is more of a temporary option, but if you use a chair of an unusual shape, the bathroom will turn out to be quite creative. The seat is removed, thick plywood is placed in its place and a hole is cut out. You can screw a plastic toilet seat on top. The legs of the chair are covered with plastic or plywood. The chair legs are attached to the floor using metal corners.

Another cheap option is to use metal pipe. It should be galvanized and have a diameter of 30-35 cm. The height of the pipe is about 40 cm. Upper part cut with metal scissors in the form of petals. Next, a seat is cut out of thick (from 8 mm) plywood and secured to the pipe. The resulting structure is installed above the pit. You can roll the pipe for such a toilet yourself, then it is better to make it oval.

Dry toilets

Another option for a dacha bathroom is a dry closet. It can be placed both outdoors and in the house.

Peat dry toilet

The cleanest option is a peat dry closet. It is a toilet in the form of a container, and not over cesspool, which is convenient when there is no sewerage or septic tank.

After each visit, the contents of the container are sprinkled with peat using a special mechanism located where a regular toilet has a cistern. Therefore, this option is also called powder-closet. Peat absorbs moisture and odor and accelerates the decomposition of waste.

A peat dry closet can be small, slightly larger than a standard toilet, or large, with a large container that can have wheels for easy transportation.

It is easy to install such a toilet; you just need to assemble it from separate blocks. It is convenient, there is no smell, but it is not very cheap, and in addition, you will have to buy peat from time to time. You can make such a toilet yourself; for this you can use containers with a volume of 10 liters or more with replaceable liners made of plastic bags.

Important! For a peat dry closet it is necessary to install a ventilation pipe.

Portable dry toilet

This option involves recycling waste using chemical reagents. It also requires water.

At the top there is a seat and a container for clean water. At the bottom there is a waste tank where they are processed. Processed sewage in the form of liquid, devoid of unpleasant odor, then drained through a special connecting pipe.

The problem with this variety is that the reagents can be harmful environment, the ammonium compounds they contain are harmful. Therefore, chemical dry toilets are replaced with biological ones - in them, waste is processed by bacteria into fertilizer, which can be safely used in the garden.

When choosing a dry closet for your dacha, pay attention to the flushing method. It can be piston or pump-action.

The piston version requires some physical effort, but it is simpler in design, allows you to get a dosed portion of water, and you can repair it yourself.

The pump version is more complicated, it requires less effort when using, but water is not dosed, and repairs are carried out only by a specialist.

An electric dry closet runs on batteries; they will have to be changed regularly. This is the most convenient option, to flush, just press the button.

Electric dry closet

A more expensive and complex type of electric dry closet is connected to a 220 V network. Electricity is necessary to operate the compressor, which dries out solid waste. Liquid waste is disposed of into the sewer system. Ventilation also runs on electricity.

This type of dry closet does not require any liquids or reagents. Dried solid waste can be composted.

How to choose a toilet

• There should be fasteners at the bottom of the toilet that allow it to be firmly fixed to the floor.
• Installation should be simple.
• The hole at the bottom should be wide for easy cleaning country toilet with toilet.
• To install above a pit, choose a model without a bottom.
• The price should not be too high or too low. The best option- average price category or a little lower. Ceramic models of domestic production cost about 2000 rubles, plastic ones are cheaper.

Conclusion

At your dacha, you can install either a regular toilet over a cesspool or septic tank, or a dry closet, in which all waste is processed in a container. Toilets can be plastic or porcelain, or you can make your own wooden or metal one. It is important that it can be easily installed and removed, and most importantly, washed.

If you have an old bucket, trough, wheel or even a refrigerator, do not rush to throw away such goodness, because it may come in handy. The second life of old things in the country is very real, you just have to approach the issue more practically and with new ideas.

From articles of this kind, you can create a whole section, because this is not the first time we are talking about how to effectively use various old items in the country. Today we will continue the series of articles with even more interesting and original ideas, thanks to which you can save money on purchasing new decor, as well as diversify country house design and everyday life

Let us immediately draw your attention to the fact that there are simply hundreds of ideas and crafts, original things and handmade items, so we will not be able to show and describe absolutely everything. But if readers of the site are interested in such information, we will be happy to provide a topic for study in continuation of this article.

Country pond from an old basin

An original solution was applied to a small plastic basin that had either become unusable or lost its aesthetic appearance. Now it is a small pond, which is made very simply. On convenient place A small hole was dug into which the basin was installed. Further, just a few types of plants around the new summer cottage, and nice decor. The only issue is the periodic removal of water from such a pond, but we will leave that to the pumps.

Playground accessories

From old and unnecessary things you can make interesting accessories for the playground. At first glance, this is not a very attractive invention, but this is where children can let off steam. Get ready for it to be noisy and fun, but these are costs.

A simple accessory can be made from old frying pans, pots, plastic bowls and flower pots, bottles and other unnecessary items. All you need is a structure frame and a simple body kit with clamps or nails and screws.

The country washbasin is transformed.

We already know how to make a washing area in the country, and therefore there is no need to feel sorry for the old washbasin... but you definitely don’t need to throw it away either. Old, shabby and rusty, it makes a great decor for any fence or wall. All you need is a little nutritious substrate and a nice ornamental plant that can be placed inside. Look at the photos below to see how original this product looks.

Country decor from old containers

We have already talked about using old containers. Baths under the pond, buckets in the form of flower containers and so on. Today we will simply update what was mentioned earlier with a simple picture below, which contains quite interesting products that turn into original compositions.

A barrel, a trough, a bathtub - all of this can still hold water, which means it can become a nice water feature, and practically for free.

Using an old bathtub in the countryside

Many lines have been written about this sanitary accessory, but today another colorful idea is a flower bath. An old and slightly battered bathtub, which can no longer be used for water procedures and the production of water structures, will do an excellent job for another purpose.

The bathtub can be covered with pieces of old broken tiles, colored plastic and ceramics, and other colorful objects, and installed in the garden or nearby country house, and plant a lot of ornamental plants in its bowl. Agree, very original solution, which can even complement landscape design dachas

Don't throw away your old toilet!

We recently studied the topic of how to build a new toilet in the country, and therefore old toilet We definitely don't need it. But we don’t send it to a landfill either, because a ceramic product for a bathroom becomes or even country yard. We agree that placing such a “miracle” near the threshold of a country house is overkill, but if it’s somewhere in the corner of the country house, it will be cute and a lot of fun. Several colors will decorate old plumbing fixtures and add a touch of originality!

But we won’t stop there either, because even more exclusive country decor can be obtained from two toilets at once. Didn't expect it?

Second life for an old bike

Almost every summer resident has a bicycle. But a previously broken two-wheeled vehicle is also hidden in the barn. If this is the case, then you shouldn’t scrap the bike, because they will give you pennies for it. But if you use it for a different purpose, it will be much more interesting.

You can use several boxes in our composition, and then it will come out completely original. Again flowers and nutrient substrate, again a little originality and your own ideas. The result is really cool country decor!

Barrels, buckets and troughs

We have already mentioned the old country containers in which we stored or transported water, washed or kneaded something. But when they saw the cute products, they couldn’t stop.

Leftover paint from a home or garage renovation can help turn old barrels into new garden features or flower containers.

A little work and a wooden ladder, or just a structure made from old timber, as well as a few buckets, will become flower stand.

And an old and leaky trough, from which you can’t even make a shower tank, will become another product for flowers. And if the trough is painted in cheerful colors, then it will not be a shame to identify the product in the middle of the garden.

Original flower sink

Do you have an old sink after renovation, but a previously replaced faucet has been lying around idle in the garage for a couple of years? We came up with a purpose for these things too. Arrange a small container for flowers that can be placed absolutely anywhere. This composition will look harmonious in the garden, in the flower bed, and even in the green area of ​​the patio.

Plant cute annuals in the sink, attach a faucet to the side, and stick a couple of plates and bowls inside that you no longer use.

Flower pots made from old shoes

In one of the articles we talked about how to use old shoes for flowers. There were also sneakers or boots, but not so important. At the moment, we have decided to expand the collection of old shoes, which were sent to the dacha in order to continue their service. A whole stand of shoe flower pots – good idea for any dacha.

Country train made of boxes and logs

To create such an interesting country train you will need very little - a log, a chainsaw, a few old boxes, nails, ornamental plants. Yes, you can also use paint if you want to paint everything.

So, take a chainsaw and cut circles for the wheels. We lay the rest of the log in the area where it is necessary to create decor. We place several boxes in front of the log, and nail them onto the log finished wheels. Well, nothing complicated, eh original product ready!

How to use an old refrigerator in the countryside

In previous articles on our site there was a note on how to make a greenhouse from an old refrigerator. But now we have another idea - production country furniture!

This, one might say, is even cabinet upholstered furniture, since the refrigerator is lined on all sides and even lined with foam rubber on the seat and backrest. In short, through absolutely simple actions and spending just a couple of hours of free time, old refrigerator transforms into a small ottoman or sofa. What’s positive is that there is space inside the furniture to store various items, something like a cabinet.

By the way, judging by the internal lining, if you add foam plastic and insulating film to the walls of the refrigerator, you can also get a portable refrigerator-thermos for cold drinks. Just imagine how you are relaxing in the shade of a green garden on a new ottoman, and in order to quench your thirst, you no longer run into the house, but simply take out cool lemonade from the same ottoman. Everything is very practical!

Flowerbed from an old bed

old bed at the dacha will not bring a lot of money if you sell it for scrap, in principle, like the old bicycle we talked about above. More headache than profit. And here's the next one decorative item it will become easy. Install not even the bed itself, but only the bed, its side parts in the garden, or even in the middle of the lawn. Next, make a raised flower bed right where the bed frame is. Well, that’s all, now it’s just a lot of flowers and caring for them to get a beautiful look and aroma.

Hanging utensils in the country kitchen

From the same old bicycle that was used for country decor, you can take one wheel for kitchen decor at the dacha. It will make an excellent hanger for utensils - saucepans and ladles, but it can also make a stand. The only thing is that the old wheel will not look very organic in a new and tidy kitchen, and therefore it should be put in order.

It is clear that in general there is no point in restoring a rotten and crooked bicycle wheel, but in a more or less tolerable condition, you can try. We will need to strip the wheel almost to the base, wipe it off with a rag to remove dust, and then, preferably, degrease it. Now you can simply paint it the color you want. spray paint from a spray can, or any other simple brush.

Mailbox with a modern twist

In a few years, humanity may completely forget about mailboxes, because there is less and less correspondence in envelopes. It’s all because of email, chats and other innovations of the era, but that’s not what we’re talking about today. While we still receive letters, or simply notifications regarding payment for electricity and water used at the dacha, we need a mailbox. You can make it from anything, but it will be very interesting if the box is made from an old PC system unit. It's very simple, you just need to install the system unit near the entrance to the yard and slightly secure it from being opened by third parties!

New chair from an old cart

A country cart, or simply a wheelbarrow, with which we transport crops or use it at a construction site, can be used even after a breakdown. This often happens when the body is welded and a new one is installed in place of the old wheel. But if a breakdown has rendered the cart completely inoperable or there is no desire to repair it, we suggest using the cart for another purpose.

The picture below shows how easy it is to make a completely comfortable and original chair based on a trolley. Only 100-200 g of paint, reliable installation and several pillows to create a comfortable space.

And the old ball will come in handy.

Yes, you won’t be able to play with such a ball anymore, but that’s not scary, because it can be used in a very interesting way. For example, to create a hanging container for flowers. If there are several balls, this is even better, since the number can completely complement the composition.

Choose a place, say, in a gazebo or near a seating area, hang halves of balls with substrate or quality soil inside, and plant some plants there. These can be house flowers, annuals and perennials, and maybe even strawberries, which will decorate the new container not only with pretty greenery, but also delicious berries.

By the way, my sister used the old bathroom exactly as in the first photo. At first we tried to make a small pond out of film, which, of course, began to let water through almost immediately, so it worked old bath. They, however, painted it from the inside dark color, which, in principle, is justified.

It’s quite simple to make a toilet out of a barrel in your country house with your own hands. You just need to find a container of suitable volume, which is made of reliable materials, and install it in a pre-dug hole. After constructing a booth made of wood or brick, you will get an outdoor bathroom. It can be used at any time of the year. At the same time, it has all the necessary characteristics that an outdoor bathroom for a summer cottage should have.

Country toilet

Characteristics of a bathroom using a container

One of the most successful design schemes for a cesspool for a toilet in a country house is one where a container without a bottom is installed in the pit. The advantage of this option is that there is no need to pump out the accumulated liquid, since it is absorbed into the soil. Because of not large quantity waste they manage to penetrate into the ground. Moreover, their volume should not exceed 1 m 3 per day. If you neglect this recommendation, waste will accumulate in the cesspool from the container. This will lead to the formation of an unpleasant odor in the area.

This option for arranging a cesspool is not suitable for dachas where high level groundwater. In this case, all sewage will penetrate into the soil, where it will contaminate the drinking source.

Therefore, the best way out of this situation is to install a volumetric sealed barrel. It will act as a septic tank.

In this case, you need to use special equipment Pump out liquid regularly. To avoid doing this too often, you need to install a large capacity container.

To reduce the size of the septic tank, in in this case It is recommended to install a complex structure.

It involves installing two or even three containers where waste will accumulate. Moreover, the last of them can be made without a bottom.

In this case, it is necessary to additionally use aerobic or anaerobic strains of microorganisms. They are added to the first container, where they break down biological waste. As a result, solid particles settle to the bottom. The already purified liquid is transferred to the next container. It, passing through an additional filtration layer of sand, enters the soil without polluting it.

Also, when choosing a scheme for arranging a cesspool, you need to choose the right material from which the barrel will be made. It is best to use metal or plastic containers. Each of these types of materials has its own advantages and disadvantages that must be taken into account before the installation process.

Metal containers - advantages and disadvantages

Metal containers, which you can install with your own hands, have a number of significant shortcomings, which directly affect the durability of the constructed structure. These include:

• low corrosion resistance of the material. After 3-4 years, such a container becomes unsuitable for use, since it is impossible to repair it;
• in most cases, this option for arranging a cesspool can be expensive. Metal containers are quite expensive;
• complexity of installation. If you use a large container with massive walls, it is quite difficult to install it without the help of special equipment;
• You can only use containers whose wall thickness reaches 15-16 mm. They are often very difficult to find.

To the benefits of this material Their resistance to frequent temperature changes can be attributed. He's not afraid severe frosts when deep layers of soil freeze. Also, such a container is heavy, which will more securely fix it in the ground.

Plastic containers

When constructing a cesspool with your own hands, plastic is considered a better material than metal.

It has many advantages:

• long service life. Plastic can be used for arranging a cesspool for a toilet in a country house for 40 years;
• due to their light weight, these containers are very easy to install without the help of outsiders or special equipment;
• plastic is resistant to the harmful effects of biological fluids or special chemical compounds that are used to process waste;
• prevents wastewater from penetrating through the walls of the container into the soil;
• the cost of such a container is quite low;
• The plastic is very durable and will not collapse under pressure from soil or runoff.

The disadvantages of this material include its instability to exposure low temperatures. To fix this, the plastic walls of the container must be insulated with a layer mineral wool. Also, a plastic barrel can float due to its light weight.

To prevent this, its walls must be securely fixed in the ground.

How to choose the right place to install a bathroom?

When choosing a place to install a toilet with your own hands in the country, you must adhere to the following rules:

The first stage is the arrangement of a cesspool from a container

When constructing an outdoor toilet with your own hands from plastic barrel You must first dig a pit of suitable size. In this case, the use of a galvanized metal container is also allowed. But you need to take into account that it has a much shorter service life.

The pit for a toilet that you build yourself should have a depth that is 25-30 cm greater than the height of the container. This is necessary to create a filtration field, which will help clean the waste, and clean liquid without harmful impurities will be absorbed into the soil. Also, this pit should be 10-20 cm wider than the tank. This gap is needed to fix the tank inside the pit.

When the hole is dug, fill its bottom with a layer of fine crushed stone 20 cm thick. Lay sand on top by another 10-15 cm. In this case, each layer must be carefully compacted so that no voids form. After this, you need to install a barrel without a bottom so that its upper edge rises 7-8 cm above the ground surface. In the future, this will greatly facilitate dismantling the container.

You need to fill the sides of the walls with crushed stone. It should reach 2/3 of the height of the container. Place a layer of clay on top to the ground level. When the hole is completely filled, cover the surface of the soil with fine gravel. Also, add an additional layer of sand on top, reaching the level of the top edge of the container.

Pouring the foundation

In parallel with installing a container without a bottom with your own hands, or after that, you need to start building a foundation for the future toilet. This construction phase consists of the following processes:

Construction of the above-ground part of the street toilet

After constructing the foundation for the outdoor toilet with your own hands and installing the container, you need to start building the booth. This process consists of the following steps:

1. You need to lay a piece of roofing felt on the surface of the foundation.
2. A wooden beam measuring 100x100 mm should be used for bottom trim bases under the floor. Before this, it must be treated with an antiseptic solution.
3. To build a reliable foundation, install the bars around the perimeter of the structure and in the middle of the long side of the structure, attach them with nuts, after placing them on metal pins.
4. Using 40 mm thick boards, build the floor of the future toilet. In this case, it is necessary to leave a hole under the toilet where the container is located.
   
5. Attach 4 wooden columns to the corners of the base. Two of them should have a height of 2 m, and the other two should have a height of 2.2 m. Choose bars with a cross section of 100x50 mm. They need to be attached using metal corners and wooden spacers. Before final installation of the frame, check the verticality of the posts.
6. On the front wall under the doors, install additional columns of the same section. The width of the opening should be 0.7 m and the height 1.97.
7. Fasten the racks on the other side with a vertical jumper at a level of 1.77 m, which will also serve as the base for the roof.
   
8. Along the structure, leaning on the installed jumpers, attach two rafter legs.
9. As roof sheathing, use 40 mm thick boards, which must be attached to the rafters using regular nails.
10. Using screws, install an OSB sheet to the lattice covering, which will act as a base for the roofing material.
11. Use a soft coating as a cover. bitumen shingles or roofing felt. It is necessary to choose materials that will not create additional load on the structure.
12. For wall cladding, use a tongue-and-groove or half-tongue board 2-4 cm thick.
13. To prevent the inside of the building from being hot in summer and cold in winter, you need to make thermal insulation with your own hands. To do this, install foam sheets in the inner plane of the frame. After this, you need to additionally sew up the walls with another layer of board.
    
14. Apply a special impregnation to all wooden elements, which will protect their surface from the harmful effects of moisture and other negative environmental factors. You can also additionally use fire retardants.
15. Install doors on the curtains. You can equip them with a small window to illuminate the interior space during the daytime.

Interior design of an outdoor bathroom

Before interior works Inside the room you need to lay a cable for the lighting device. This can be done with your own hands by entering the electrical wiring through a mast, which must be attached to back wall bathroom. In this case, its height is 2.5 m. Cable routing should be carried out open method. The wire cross-section must be at least 2.5 mm 2. For lighting, use a lamp with a power of 40 W or less.

To construct the seat, use bars with a cross-section of 30x60 cm. Build a frame 400 mm high from them, and attach them using self-tapping screws. The finished structure must be sheathed with plywood or OSB board. In this case, you must remember to leave a hole in the place where the plastic container is installed. The final step is to attach the seat with lid, which is used for a regular toilet. When everything is ready, paint the interior and exterior surfaces of the bathroom with paint or varnish, which will extend its life and help keep the wood in its original condition.

So in a simple way you can build it yourself outdoor toilet using a regular container made of plastic or metal.
