What design can be called the main one in the country? The house itself? On the one hand, yes, but there is a design without which comfortable living in the country is simply impossible. What is this about? You probably already guessed that this is a toilet. And if it is simply not on your site, then now is the time to think about how to build it. In fact, there is nothing complicated in this work, since the toilet itself consists of a pit, a foundation and a structure from above. You just need to decide what exactly this design will be. There are different variations of the building. We will consider the most popular of them, and also focus on building a toilet in the country with our own hands.
In this article, you will see drawings, as well as instructions for creating a fairly simple design. This will help you realize such an idea in your country house. You will also learn the advantages of building a hut-type structure.
In order for you to have an overall picture of the toilets for summer cottages, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the designs that you can create with your own hands. There are many construction methods, they entirely depend on the construction itself. Here is a list of the most popular toilet options for summer cottages:
What is each of them? The simplest and most common is the simple pit toilet. It is ideal for cottages, as the device will require a little money, material and the design itself is simple. It is only necessary to dig a cesspool, strengthen it and build a superstructure. An example of such a toilet is visible in the photo.
As for backlash closets, they have an airtight pit where waste gets into. The tank itself can be different, differ in design and size, and is located away from the structure. Disposal of waste from it is quite simple, as with a cesspool. You need to hire a sewer machine that pumps everything from the inside. An alternative is to do it yourself. In the photo you will see this type of construction.
Powder closet is a kind of container that is located directly under the saddle. No cesspool is needed, and the tank itself is quite small. It also needs to be cleaned as it fills up. A feature is that after use, additional means of disposal are applied. We are talking about powdering sewage with peat. This option for giving can be called one of the cheapest, only the cleansing process itself causes trouble. Powder closet in the photo.
Ideal in terms of cleanliness, convenience and creation is a chemical or dry closet. All that is required is to buy it and install it in its place. The advantage of such structures is that it does not need to be cleaned. And no bad smell comes out. The thing is that waste is broken down by special bacteria. The only downside is the price. But, if you can afford it, then it is better to stop at this option.
But what if you have a limited budget and you can not afford such "benefits of civilization"? You can create a toilet with your own hands. Ideal in this regard is a toilet with a cesspool. As for the superstructure, the toilet hut looks pretty good. Why is he so good? Let's find out.
To begin with, we want to explain why we are considering the type of hut. The thing is that such an unusual design has some advantages over its traditional "competitors". Let's see the positives:
As you can see, we counted as many as 7 advantages that a hut toilet has. They are talking in the direction of actually doing the construction of just such a structure. However, it was not without its downsides. Almost half of them
You have all the data to compare all the pros and cons. This will help you decide whether to build such toilets on the site. If yes, then let's look at the drawing of a hut-type country toilet and the technology for its creation.
The construction of any building begins with the choice of a suitable place. For the toilet, this is even more important. No wonder there are different norms and rules, the observance of which is not just a formality, but a guarantee of your comfortable stay. One of the main rules is to create conditions in which the contact of waste with groundwater will be minimal.
But, these are not all the requirements that require your attention. Let's look at the full list of criteria so that your structure is erected correctly in all respects:
Note! Before starting the construction of the toilet, it is important to find out the location of the groundwater. It is allowed to build a building if the water level is 2.5 m underground or more. Otherwise, you will have to replace the cesspool with a septic tank, backlash closet or powder closet.
If these rules and recommendations are taken into account, then in ecological terms, the constructed structure will not affect the external environment in any way. Everyone will be happy - and you, and plants, and neighbors, and even pets. Did you find the right place? Then we begin the construction of the toilet hut.
The basis of the "cabinet for reflection" is a cesspool. It is she who will take the main “blow”. The frequency of cleaning also depends on its size. Cleaning is recommended not to fill the pit to the brim, but when the amount of sewage in the toilet has reached 70%.
In fact, such work can not be called difficult. It is labor intensive and takes some time. You can do it yourself using a shovel, or you can hire heavy equipment. But, for a small country house, your own efforts will be enough. The recommended dimensions of the pit are 2x2x2 m. Make a markup on the territory and start digging the ground. Use a tape measure and a plumb line, control the size and evenness of the pit.
When the pit is ready, it is better to strengthen its walls. They will become our foundation, on which the ground hut will rely. Strengthening occurs due to boards, concrete rings or bricks. Boards before work must be impregnated with an antiseptic.
Advice! When arranging the bottom, you can make it at an angle to the back of the structure. Then the contents will fall towards the hatch, designed to clean the pit. Do not forget that you need to make a hole for the toilet, ventilation and waste pumping.
From land works, we smoothly move on to the process of building the frame itself. Country toilet hut drawings dimensions will be provided. After all, half of all success depends on them. The superstructure itself can be of several types: a hut, a hut, or a house. In our case, this is the first option. In the photo you can see exactly how such a design is made.
Thanks to the drawings, you will not make mistakes. Next, take care of the availability of suitable material. The raw material for the construction will be wood, namely boards. They are easy to work with and practical. In working with him you can not do without:
Here is a step-by-step instruction for creating a frame from above:
And to protect your wooden fortress, the finished structure must be treated with an antiseptic. You can even buy a special wood paint for outdoor use and make the toilet hut even prettier.
That's all. Construction completed. The structure is ready for operation. You can be the first to use it in action. Watch a video on how to create a design with your own hands.
Not every country house can boast of an equipped modern bathroom connected to, much more often summer residents equip a toilet in the corner of the site, away from the well and the house. in this case, a small building with a cesspool or just a container. Nevertheless, even in such a toilet, you can create comfortable conditions, and if you apply your imagination, the country toilet can fit perfectly into the overall design and even become a decoration of the site.
The drawing of a country toilet is extremely simple: it is a rectangular frame mounted on a columnar foundation, lined with clapboard, blockhouse or siding. Inside, for convenience, they make a shelf that plays the role of a seat, equip the toilet with a door and a small ventilation window, and turn on the lighting. You can build such a toilet over the weekend.
The design of the country toilet is extremely simple, and according to the drawings given, you can calculate the materials in advance and assemble it yourself with minimal carpentry skills.
Base - timber with a section of 150 × 150, treated with an antiseptic
To protect against decay, wood must be treated with an antiseptic or special compounds, paint, drying oil. In order to avoid an unpleasant odor during the operation of the toilet, the contents of the cesspool must be disinfected with a natural antiseptic - peat, and once a season the waste accumulated in it should be pumped out of the tank. If you want to avoid cleaning the cesspool, you can connect, which you can also do yourself.
Not every country house is equipped with a modern bathroom that is connected to a septic tank. Most often, a toilet with a cesspool is located in the corner of the site, away from the house and the well. However, even in this case, it can be made comfortable and pretty, perfectly fitting into the overall design of the site.
The toilet project in the country is a cesspool, over which a small wooden house is installed. True, recently, instead of a cesspool, summer residents are increasingly using dry closets.
Peat toilets, in particular, are excellent alternatives to pit latrines, which convert waste into fertilizer. Their price varies between 50-500 US dollars.
However, in any case, it is necessary to build a booth. Most often it is made of a rectangular shape, made of wood. For its frame, an edged board is used, for example, 100x50 mm, a toilet is installed on a base of 150x150 mm timber.
Advice!
In regions with a cold climate, the toilet cubicle can be insulated with foam plastic 50-150 mm thick.
The roof is easiest to make a shed, with a slope back. To cover it, any roofing material is suitable, for example, slate, corrugated board or soft tiles.
The height of the toilet, as a rule, is two meters or more, the width is not less than 120 cm. The exact dimensions contain drawings of the country toilet.
The end wall of the booth has a rectangular shape. Its assembly is carried out from the same board on self-tapping screws or nails, in accordance with the drawing. Since the roof has a slope, the side walls are made in the form of a trapezoid.
In one of the walls, it is necessary to make a window that will provide natural light to the room and ventilation. The facade wall contains a doorway. The walls of the toilets are assembled separately and then fastened to the base.
The runners from the timber are connected with studs or nails. To increase the rigidity of the structure, grooves 150 mm wide and 50 mm deep must be made in the lower skids.
Note!
Before laying the bars, they must be treated with an antiseptic.
This procedure will protect the base from decay.
The lower overlap is made of boards 50x100 mm and sewn up with OSB sheets. The ceiling can also be insulated with foam. In the back of the toilet floor, if it is intended for a cesspool, a hole must be made.
For the manufacture of doors, you can use bars 50x50 mm, which are connected diagonally to increase rigidity. From the inside, the door should be sheathed with OSB boards, and outside with a board. Detailed information on the assembly of the door contains a drawing of a toilet for a summer residence.
After the box is completed, the roof truss system is made. Rafters can be made from the same boards 100x50 mm. The pitch of the rafters should be no more than 40 cm.
You can attach the rafters with nails or self-tapping screws.
To build a toilet according to the above project, you need to prepare the following materials:
Advice!
If you bought a summer cottage without buildings, the toilet should be the first object built.
After that, you can start building the house itself.
In order not to spend years on this process, you should pay attention to such an option as country houses from block containers, the installation of which takes a minimum of time.
If the standard design of a country toilet does not suit you, because you want to see a more original design on the site that will serve as an exterior decoration, you can make a toilet in the form of a hut or tower.
A feature of this design is a long gable roof. In some cases, such a roof starts from the very base, as a result of which there are no side vertical walls near the booth. The back and front walls are two triangles.
The base of this design is made of bars, in the same way as for the toilet described above. After that, the walls-triangles are assembled.
Since the roof of the building is gabled, its height should be higher than a standard toilet. Usually it is 2300 cm.
After installing the front and rear walls, a beam is fixed between them in the upper part, to which the boards of the truss system are attached. After that, the roof is sheathed with sheets of moisture-resistant plywood and the roofing material is laid. The best option in this case is a soft tile.
The front wall, as in the previous case, should have a doorway. The door itself is made in the same way as described in the previous project.
So, you have found a suitable toilet project for a summer residence and figured out its features. After that, you can get to work.
The instructions for building a pit latrine are as follows:
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.
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.
First of all, they make a drawing of the future structure, that is, a wooden cabin with a cesspool under it. A toilet schematically depicted on paper will greatly simplify the assembly of the restroom frame.
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 curved and sloppy.
Among all types of outdoor toilets, the most common is the "birdhouse", the shape of which is a rectangle. Unlike the "hut", it requires less skill in construction.

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.
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:
When creating the base and booth, you will need the following:
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:
The door is constructed from a block with dimensions of 0.9 m / 2 m. To frame it, you will need 5 linear meters of platband. 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.

Completely finished restroom
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:
If you took up the interior decoration of the restroom, then do not forget about the 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. The material for external protection of the wooden structure of the latrine can be:
A wooden toilet in the country is the right solution, as it fits perfectly into the rural landscape and does not require a lot of money. 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 interior and exterior trim with clapboard and siding, respectively.
The construction of a country toilet is one of the most important measures for the arrangement of a suburban area. You can do without many things, but you will have to build a toilet anyway.There are many ways to build a toilet in the country. They differ from each other both in the collection and processing of waste, and in the arrangement of the booth itself, which belongs to the upper, visible part of the structure.
Do-it-yourself country toilet
One of the simplest, but at the same time, the most original is the design of a triangular toilet cubicle of the "hut" type.
There are several basic requirements that must be observed when building a toilet in the country:
The cabin, when viewed from the front or rear wall, really resembles a triangle (isosceles). The slope of the roof of such a toilet also performs the function of the side walls.
The dimensions of the booth can be adjusted, but the principle of construction remains the same.
In most cases, a latrine in the country is built of wood. Such material makes the design short-lived, but easy to perform. In order to build a toilet in the shape of a triangle with your own hands, you will need:
In order to undertake the construction of this structure, in addition to materials, you will need the following tools:
You can prepare a drawing for such a building yourself, or take one of the ready-made options.
Of course, the dimensions and other individual points will have to be adjusted, but a general idea of \u200b\u200bhow each of the assembly steps looks like will be obtained.
The construction of a triangular toilet with your own hands can conditionally be divided into several successive stages:
A triangular-shaped toilet has its advantages and disadvantages. The benefits include.
