Do-it-yourself cinder block toilet and shower. Cinder blocks - a good solution for the construction of cottages and garages

Perhaps the shower and toilet are the first buildings on the summer cottage. It is better to immediately do them soundly, even if you have just started planning a summer cottage. Otherwise, you will have to do the work twice. And what's the point in that?

Building a toilet

Although attempts are being made to build a toilet right in the country house, this is not very good. As a rule, there is no sewerage in the dachas, and the cesspool spreads the smell throughout the house. Therefore, this option should be immediately discarded. It is necessary to find a place for the toilet in the farthest corner of the site.

A wooden shower, a toilet for a summer residence does not have to stand separately. It can be attached to any outbuilding, for example, to a barn.

First, a cesspool is dug. Its depth should be large enough, 2.5 - 3 meters. Width - 1.5x1.5 meters. The walls of the pit will need to be concreted, leaving the bottom free. On it you need to pour a pillow of rubble. Cushion thickness 25 cm.

In order to concrete the cesspool, you need to install the formwork along the walls and fill it with concrete mortar. The formwork should rise 50 cm above the ground. Thus, a 50 cm high threshold is made around the cesspool. The ceiling will subsequently be mounted on this threshold.

The solution is mixed from 1 part of cement, 3 parts of sand and 5 parts of crushed stone. As soon as the concrete hardens and gains the necessary strength, a reinforced concrete floor is placed on the threshold, which is above the ground. You can use a ready-made panel, or you can make the floor yourself using mesh and reinforcement.

A “toilet” hole is made in the ceiling. Also, a plastic pipe with a diameter of 15-20 cm is lowered into the pit. This pipe is led out through the roof of the toilet. It improves ventilation and reduces odor. The cesspool is ready. Now you can move on to the construction of the walls of the toilet.

To do this, a trench 50 cm deep is dug around the cesspool. Its width is slightly larger than the size of the cinder block. Formwork is installed in the trench and concrete is poured. This will be the foundation. The proportions of the concrete mixture are the same as when concreting a cesspool.

The finished foundation should gain strength. After 3-4 weeks, you can build walls. The walls of the toilet are made of cinder blocks or bricks, then plastered.

It is necessary to provide a hole under the ceiling, which will improve the ventilation of the room and will serve as a source of light in the daytime. A second vent can be made at the bottom of the front door.

Interior decoration can be made from marble production waste, that is, small fragments of marble that are attached to cement. This interior finish is easy to wash with a hose, keeping the toilet clean.

The roof is made simple, shed. To do this, one of the walls of the building is made lower. Rafters made of timber or round timber are placed on the walls and covered with slate, roofing felt or other suitable material.

Materials for the construction of the toilet:

• Cement, sand and gravel
• Shards of marble
• Reinforced concrete floor slab
• Cinder blocks or bricks
• Wooden blocks and roofing material

A toilet constructed in this way, of course, will cost more than a simple, wooden one. But on the other hand, you can use it for many years without any repair and updating. The depth of the cesspool allows you not even to clean it. Waste decomposes over time and goes into the soil.

The structure turns out to be of sufficient size so that, in addition to its direct purpose, it can be used to store garden tools.

Construction of a shower in a summer cottage

The shower is simply necessary in the country. Especially if there is no pool. It allows you to cool down during the hot summer months. A shower can be built on the site, or in the house. Both options will be considered.

Shower in the yard

Since such a shower will only be used in the summer, it is made easy. That is, you can not build walls around the shower, but limit yourself to plastic curtains or light plank screens.

You need to start building a shower by making a place where water will drain. The simplest drain is done as follows.

A hole is dug in the ground and an old metal barrel is lowered into it. Its walls must be pierced with a chisel. The barrel is filled with large stones, a metal or plastic pipe is lowered into it. The pipe is brought to the surface in the drain hole. The platform on top of the barrel is concreted. When concreting, it is necessary to provide for a slope towards the drain.

Now you need to fix the water tank. It is not recommended to do this directly over a concrete pad. After all, a tank is a container in which 20-25-30, or even 50 liters of water. Standing under the shower, when such a hulk is located above your head, is not very comfortable. Therefore, the barrel is mounted next to the concrete pad.

For this, metal or wooden poles are dug into the ground. At a height of 2.5 meters, a platform is mounted on poles, on which the tank is located. It can be plastic or metal. From above, a hose is lowered into the tank, which is connected to a water supply or a well pump in order to fill the tank with water.

From the bottom of the container comes a hose with a shower head at the end. A faucet must be provided to open and close the water. During the summer months, the sun heats up the tank, so the water in the shower is warm.

Now the shower room is being built directly.

At the corners of the concrete platform, wooden poles are dug into the ground. The pillars are covered with polyethylene, and a shower stall is obtained. A hose with a shower head is fixed on top.

If desired, you can sheathe the shower clapboard. It is only necessary to impregnate the tree with a special compound so that it does not rot from dampness. Or you can cover with drying oil, and then paint with oil paint.

If the poles are wooden, then those ends that will be in the ground must be coated with bitumen or painted.

To build a shower you will need:

• Wooden or metal poles
• Bars and thick boards for the construction of the platform
• Old metal barrel
• Stones, cement, sand and gravel
• Rubber hoses
• Metal or plastic water tank
• Shower head, polyethylene, lining
• Drying oil and oil paint

The construction of the soul in the house

The principle remains the same, with the only difference that the shower will be located under the roof of the house. The container is installed in the attic. If the shower is built in the house, then the walls and floor of the shower room can be tiled, giving it a rather attractive look.

If you plan to live in a house not only in summer, but also in winter, then it is best to buy a shower, a toilet for a summer residence. Because in this case, you will need not a “self-propelled gun”, but a high-quality, branded product so that it serves for a long time. It is better to buy from trusted merchants and a kit.

In autumn, you must not forget to drain the water from the tank and make sure that it does not remain in the hoses.

Read what a frame house is. I just want to say that the origin of frame houses using this technology began in Germany, but they acquired serious proportions in Canada and America. In Russia, the technology of building frame houses began to be actively built in the 50s, when the war ended.

More than a hundred years ago, mankind discovered an inexpensive, fast and convenient way to build buildings using cinder blocks. The material consists of ordinary slag pressed in molds, the standard size of which is 390/190/188. Water is necessarily added to, some part of sand and necessarily a binder - cement. Despite the fact that the cinder block cannot be called environmentally friendly, it is used in almost any construction. Both industrial, military and civil.

The most durable is the cinder block, in the production of which sand, crushed stone or pebbles were used.

Such material turns out to be of high density, durable and having the ability to retain heat well, and at the same time coolness. It is advisable to use it in the construction of the outer walls of a residential building.

At the same time, a full-bodied cinder block is used in the construction of external load-bearing walls in houses with more than one floor, but most often the cinder block is used to build the so-called country garden houses.

This is how a cinder block house without cladding looks like in the photo:

Cinder block for a bath

Many experts prefer not to use the word "cinder block" in everyday life, but to say "a kind of silicate laying material." At the same time, its universality is recognized by all.

The cinder block is not subject to the destructive influence of the fungus, it is in good contact with moisture. It is also not susceptible to mold. It also has a high fire safety. Therefore, the cinder block is ideal for the construction of a bath. Most often, in this case, hollow blocks with a voidness of up to 40% are chosen. But! If the bath is and, of course, lined.

Before building a bath, it is advisable to plan how it will look in finished form.

As an example, you can see photos showing: a cinder block bath project and a ready-made cinder block bath:

Building a cinder block garage

For the construction of a capital garage, there is no need to look for a better material than a cinder block. Given its impressive size, the laying of the walls of the garage, however, as in any other construction, will pass quickly enough.

Recommendations on which cinder block to choose - hollow or solid should be based on where the garage will be located. The higher the percentage of voids, the colder the building will be, so such a cinder block is suitable for a garage in a temperate climate zone.

How to build a cinder block garage will be prompted by a pre-prepared project, which will take into account all the nuances and wishes. For its compilation, you can turn to specialists, or you can use special computer programs.

cinder block garage

cinder block fence

For a fence, which is supposed to be built for a long time, you need a cinder block, possibly hollow, but with good frost resistance and strength. Again, these data should fluctuate depending on the climatic zone where the fence will be built.

Now a cinder block is offered, or rather its subspecies, decorative. In this case, one of the sides has a special texture. Decorative blocks are also called ragged. They can be dyed in different colors. But more importantly, they should contain pebbles or metal slag. Then this material will be more resistant to atmospheric phenomena.

Cinder block fences can be very diverse, their appearance depends on your imagination and capabilities.

A few photo examples of fences built from cinder block:

cinder block foundation

The strength of the foundation directly depends not only on the characteristics of the soil of the area, but also on the number of storeys of the building. Therefore, if it is planned to build a private house with three or more floors, and if all of them, as well as internal partitions, are made of cinder block, the foundation must be made of concrete, but not of cinder block.

The cinder block foundation is appropriate only in fixed and dry soils in houses with a small load. An important condition is that groundwater should be located below the freezing level of the soil.

Wall masonry

On the one hand, laying a cinder block is much easier (it alone replaces 6-7 bricks), on the other hand it is harder - the weight of each block is about 20 kilograms. Experts advise using solid blocks for external walls or those where the void is at the level of 30%.

Sawdust can be poured into the voids, this will somewhat reduce the thermal conductivity of the cinder block and make the house warmer. Every third row needs to be reinforced, which will strengthen the masonry. For internal partitions, it is better to use semi-blocks, their dimensions are 390/120/188 mm and 390/90/188 mm. Given that the cinder block retains heat poorly, after masonry, it is better to insulate the walls from the outside.

The video shows the process of laying walls during the construction of a cinder block garage:

cinder block shed

If the aesthetic beauty of the barn is not important, then any cinder block is quite suitable for its construction, even the one containing coal ash or expanded clay. Such material is relatively light in weight, but the shed, the walls of which are lined with cinder block, given that it allows moisture to pass through, is still better to veneer.

The question of how to build a barn can be answered - just like any other cinder block building, since the work process is not much different from building, for example, a garage or a bathhouse.

Cinder block gazebo

Arbor - the design itself is quite elegant. There are, of course, varieties of closed gazebos with a barbecue inside, where the presence of capital walls is assumed, but, probably, few people dare to lay them out of cinder block.

If there are people who want to have such a gazebo, then a cinder block is suitable for them even with a voidness of 40%.

Cinder block and basement

Basements and cinder block are simply made for each other. The basement should be cool, the walls will still be plastered. Therefore, the basement most often comes from cinder block.

Given that the basement must be dry, and if there is water in it periodically, for example, during spring floods, then the cinder block is a material that is not subject to rotting or damage by fungus.

The basement will then need to be simply dried. For basement walls, a standard cinder block with a voidage of up to 30% is suitable.

Cinder block outbuildings

Attached premises to a residential building can be completely made of cinder block, since this is the most affordable building material today. In addition, if you wish, you can make it yourself.

It should be remembered that if these parts of the building are residential, then it is better to lay them out of a full-bodied cinder block, but if they are used as utility rooms, then a cinder block with a high percentage of voids will do.

Quite often they are used in the construction of partitions in an existing room. This step is resorted to as a result of redevelopment of rooms.

Due to the large size of the block, the process of building such a partition wall can be completed within a few hours. In the future, the finished partition must be plastered and any finishing coating or finish applied.

We build a cinder block plinth

The basement part of the building should take into account the overall design of the house, so you can lay out a rough basement from the cinder block, and then decorate it with stone or veneer with plaster.

The plinth is made in height from half a meter to 70 centimeters for the entire width of the foundation. It is better to use a full-bodied cinder block during its construction.

Cinder block porch

With a large difference between the plane of the courtyard and the threshold of the house, it would be appropriate to lay out a porch from a cinder block that can level this difference. The rough porch will then need tiling or possibly deck boarding.

The cinder block for the porch must withstand quite heavy loads, so it is better to choose one that is full-bodied with a maximum frost resistance cycle and high strength.

Toilet cinder block

An ordinary outdoor toilet can be built from any building material, cinder block is no exception. Most likely, the structure will be insulated, so any cinder block is suitable for such a small building, even the one with the largest percentage of voids and a small strength indicator.

cinder block pool

It is better to pour the pool bowl from concrete. The cinder block is highly permeable to moisture, so it can only be used as a formwork. For these purposes, you should opt for a cinder block with the highest strength and, of course, full-bodied.

Cinder block brazier

A stationary brazier with a foundation may well be laid out from a cinder block. Especially its lower part. And the place for making a fire, of course, must be laid out of refractory bricks.

Cinder block cesspool

A used cinder block is sometimes more expensive than a new one. Then, apparently, every second one did not make it, and the technology was observed very accurately. In general, such a cinder block can be used in the construction of cesspools (drain) pits.

Another plus in the construction of the walls of the pit from cinder block, not even necessarily second-hand, in that the porous blocks will let liquid through themselves for some time, so the pit built in dry soil will not become full so quickly.

Do-it-yourself construction from cinder blocks

Cinder block is not a material that requires special skills when working, no matter what you are going to build from cinder block: a bathhouse, a house, a garage, a fence or building a foundation. Masonry from it is no different from brick. Reinforcement should be carried out every 2 - 4 rows, the mortar should be used as usual: either concrete or cement-sand.

It is advisable to have a project for future construction, at least compiled independently (which is absolutely not difficult to do in special programs posted on the Internet). If you have a project, you can easily calculate the required number of blocks.

It is also worth remembering that it is not necessary to work at a Stakhanovite pace when erecting walls of any building. On the day you need to lay out no more than 3 - 5 blocks on top of each other, otherwise the wall may collapse under its own weight.

Summing up all the above, we can summarize the following: cinder block is a universal material, it is suitable for any construction. But! Exterior walls made of it cannot be left unlined, as it absorbs moisture very well. And it is better to lay out internal partitions from another, more environmentally friendly material.

How to build from a cinder block will tell in detail the video (using the example of building a bath):

cinder block calculator

Even when professionals are engaged in construction, it is still worth knowing how to correctly calculate how many materials are needed. The easiest and most reliable way to calculate the right amount of building material for masonry.

Calculation of cinder block for a house or garage:

• Multiply the length of the walls by their height.
• Subtract the area of ​​the doorways from the total.
• Now you need to calculate how much cinder block is needed for one square meter of masonry:
• We multiply the length of the block by its width: 390 * 190 = 74 100 mm2.
• We translate the resulting figure into m2. It turns out 0.074 m2.
• We divide 1 m2 by the result: 1: 0.074 = 13.5.
• After rounding, it turns out that 14 cinder blocks are needed per 1 m2.
• Multiply the square of the house by 14.
• If the house is 200 m2, then 200 * 14 = 2,800 cinder blocks are needed to build it.

House projects

A good cinder block house project must take into account:

• foundation depth (at least 70 centimeters for a one-story house),
• plinth height,
• arrangement of the ventilation system,
• heating, which coolant will be used, what wiring is appropriate: top or bottom, whether there will be a warm floor,
• house wall insulation
• cinder block lining,
• installation of the roof, taking into account vapor and waterproofing to avoid the formation of condensate during operation.

With the help of various computer programs, you can prepare any project of a residential building. An example is the following photo:

Planning project for a one-story cinder block house

A cinder block house can and should be built in stages, making simultaneous laying of external walls and internal partitions. And when laying the foundation, you can, for example, dig and overlay a basement with a cinder block.

Regardless of how often and for how long you live in your country house, the need to build a toilet will definitely arise. And this task must be approached wisely in order to avoid in the future the inconvenience that may arise if the system is not properly thought out. Consider how to make a toilet for a summer residence with your own hands: step-by-step instructions will help you with your work.

What you need to know before you build a toilet yourself in the country

The construction of the toilet itself is only half the task that you have to complete. No less important is the planning of the process, in which you must provide for many nuances and comply with all the standards that are provided for this type of building:

• first of all, decide how the toilet will be cleaned from the waste accumulated in it, since this will largely determine its location;
• before building a toilet, make sure that neither the structure itself nor the cesspool (if any) will become a subject of conflict with neighbors;
• in the process of arranging the bathroom, be sure to take into account the requirements of the sanitary services so that the result of your work does not cause a fine, as well as soil pollution in the territory where you live;
• Before starting construction, be sure to ask at what level the groundwater lies.

If you pay attention to these factors in advance, before you start construction, then it will not be difficult to adjust to them. On the contrary, it will allow you to decide on the type of construction and avoid further difficulties in use and maintenance.

Useful advice! It will help you figure out how to properly build a toilet in the country with your own hands - video tutorials.

Do-it-yourself toilet for a summer residence: step-by-step instructions for various designs

There are several different designs that are relevant for the construction of a summer cottage. They differ not only in the principle of their action, but also have a significant difference in the issue of the required financial costs for construction, as well as further maintenance. In addition, periodic use is far from suitable for every option, and this should also be taken into account if you are an infrequent guest at the dacha.

The main separation of toilets in places where there is no central sewerage system is made with an emphasis on the fact how exactly the collected waste will be disposed of in the future. Consider the two most popular options with instructions for arranging them.

How to make a toilet with a cesspool with your own hands in the country

The use of a cesspool for collecting waste is a classic method when it comes to a toilet in the country. This method is widespread due to the low financial cost of construction, as well as the relatively primitive construction system. As a rule, the accumulated waste partially evaporates and partially goes into the soil. To dispose of the rest, you must call a special service.

There is absolutely nothing complicated in the independent arrangement of such a bathroom, since all that needs to be done is to dig a hole of a suitable size. At the same time, keep in mind that the deeper the pit is, the less often you will have to call a machine to pump it out.

The ground part of the bathroom can be presented in absolutely any form, from a finished wooden house to a simple structure, independently laid out of brick or made of a metal profile.

The most important thing to pay attention to when choosing a cesspool as a waste collection method is the ventilation in the toilet. The liquid that has accumulated inside the pit has an unpleasant odor, and if you do not take care of a good ventilation system in advance, then over time it will become simply impossible to go to the toilet.

How to build a toilet in the country with your own hands without a cesspool

There are situations when the owners cannot or do not want to use the cesspool to collect waste and prefer other ways to equip the toilet. As a rule, there are several reasons for this, for example, the proximity of groundwater or the type of soil unsuitable for this purpose. This is also true in cases where it is assumed that a sufficiently large number of people will use the toilet.

In these cases, the ideal solution to the problem would be to buy a dry closet. This modern method allows you to collect and dispose of waste, while practically not encountering the problem of unpleasant odors. There are several variants of such designs that use different ways of processing the contents of the waste collection tank. Among the most popular, it is worth noting peat dry closets, as well as those into which a special chemical liquid is poured.

Useful advice! Properly thought out room, as well as the presence of high-quality ventilation, allows you to place dry closets even in the house, which significantly increases the comfort of its use, especially in the cold season.

We build a toilet in the country with our own hands: drawings and construction features

In order for the design to turn out to be reliable, and its use does not cause discomfort, the easiest way is to purchase a ready-made booth or to implement one of the drawings of a toilet for a summer residence that can be found on the Internet. But in order to determine the design and choose the right placement., You must consider the following:

• a toilet with a cesspool should be located at a distance of at least 8 m from the house so that its characteristic smell does not bother you;
• for the same purpose, determine the most frequent wind direction and take this fact into account in the planning process;
• your toilet should not be located right next to the neighbor's fence. Make at least a meter indent from the fence;
• the distance from the water sources to the toilet plays a particularly important role. The further these objects will be located from each other, the better, but the minimum distance should be 30 m.

Useful advice! When arranging a relief area, keep in mind that the toilet should in no case be placed higher in level than the reservoir. This is fraught with water pollution.

• so that waste from the cesspool does not get into the cellar or basement, keep a distance of at least 15 m between them.

Features and popular drawings of a wooden toilet for a summer residence with your own hands

Many who want to do everything on their own use a drawing of a wooden toilet for a summer residence as a basis for work. This is primarily due to the low cost of such a design, as well as the ease of construction. After all, whatever one may say, anyone can connect several boards together, even without proper construction experience.

The main advantage of wooden houses is that they are mobile and can be moved to any other place if necessary. The cabin is simply transferred to another place, and the cesspool, if there is one, is buried. In the case of using a dry closet, all this can be made even easier.

As an example, consider a drawing of a do-it-yourself toilet project in the country, which is very popular with owners of suburban areas. It is easy to build, looks good enough and can be installed in any part of the site.

How to make a toilet in the country with your own hands: drawing of the "Birdhouse"

In order to make a toilet, first of all take care of the presence of a cesspool if you prefer this method of waste collection. Then, taking into account the dimensions of the dug hole, you can proceed to the installation of the above-ground part. Concrete is used as a foundation, placing it at a distance of no more than 20 cm from the edges of the pit.

Using boards or lining, assemble the structure of the "Birdhouse". You can choose the size you want. But if you are not too strong in calculations, you can use the drawing of the toilet for giving with dimensions.

As you can see, using simple drawings, building a toilet in the country with your own hands is not at all difficult. The main task is to correctly determine its location, as well as to choose the most appropriate way to dispose of waste. Otherwise, your imagination in choosing a design is not limited by anything, and you can easily give preference to the original design and make a toilet in the country with your own hands (the photos demonstrate this perfectly).

Let's see if it's possible to build. And let's start with how to choose the right place. As far as we know, toilets should be built no closer than 30 meters from an open or closed water source. It is desirable that the building should be located on a hill, so that melt water does not fall into the cesspool.

A reasonable question arises whether there is a well or a well nearby, and how to do it so as not to infect them. To do this, we are negotiating with neighbors in the area, and find out if they have nearby operating wells or wells.

Then, you need to take measurements from the intended location of your toilet, to neighboring wells or wells. Once again, we want to emphasize the distance between your toilet and the nearest wells or wells should be at least 30 meters. It would be nice if you could get receipts from your neighbors on the site that they do not mind the construction of an outdoor toilet in the area where you indicate.

Starting the construction of your structure, you need to decide what type of toilet you want to build at home. Toilets are divided into several types: these are stone, and from boards (frame). As you understand, a brick toilet will be expensive, but a frame one is an economy option. Under brick toilets a foundation is needed, and for wooden toilets, as such, a foundation is not needed, it can be built on wooden poles.

If we consider the construction of a toilet in terms of importance, then the cesspool is the most important part. During its construction, it is necessary to take into account its volume, which should be calculated approximately 70 liters per month per person. It should also be airtight and easily removed from the pit.

The tightness of the pit is achieved by making a castle of clay, the thickness of which should not be 50 centimeters. For this design, an ordinary steel or plastic barrel of 200 liters may be best suited.

What is good foam block? It is light, strong and holds heat well. Under the foundation of such a toilet, an old fireclay brick will go, we lay it out in two rows. We lay waterproofing on top of the brick, for which ordinary roofing material can go.

Dacha plots in our time are becoming more popular every year, because many people seek to protect their families or protect them from noisy cities for a while and take them to an ecologically clean area. When you buy a plot, very often it is not equipped with amenities such as a bath and a toilet in the house or even on the street, so in some cases, you will need to build an outdoor toilet on your own. To begin with, you will have to decide how the construction will take place and what kind of material will be chosen. Usually a tree is chosen, because then the construction will be the easiest and fastest. If you do not know how to build a toilet from blocks, then the first step is the preparatory work.

That is, for starters, you will need to purchase the necessary material. In the case of a concrete block construction, you will need to purchase and bring blocks. In the case of a wooden toilet, you will need to bring wooden bars. When the construction itself begins, you will need to consider where the wind will blow. This is necessary in order to completely avoid the unpleasant smell, which after a while is simply inevitable. Next, you need to pay attention to the groundwater levels, because when you dig a drain hole, it should be located slightly above the intended level. Choose no more than 1.5 meters so that you do not feel unpleasant fumes in winter. Remove your toilet from sources of drinking water and choose a low spot in this area so that you cannot pollute the water (soil) with a new building. Pay attention to the general regulations, which will indicate the minimum distances to the nearest allotment.

Wide selection of building blocks! Choose the best option for yourself. Go to catalog

So, in your work you will have to use: cement, lumber, concrete ring, nail, slate. Divide your construction into three stages, because first you will need to dig a cesspool, then you will need to finish and insulate the pit, and in the final stage, build the house itself. When you are finishing the pit, it is easiest to use ready-made reinforced concrete rings that you can buy at any hardware store. You are given a choice, because the rings can be easily replaced with brick lining. You will have to concrete the bottom under some slopes in the direction where there will be a slope towards the future hole (pit).

The corners will need to be drowned no less than 60 cm, for this an asbestos-cement pipe is usually used. A pole will be placed on such a pipe, which will need to be impregnated with bituminous mastics in advance. And only after that this structure will need to be cemented. The lower trim should be built no less than 50 cm from the common base. Pay attention to the thickness of the boards, because they should not exceed 4 centimeters. After that, proceed to the second stage - flooring. Further, you will need to cut holes in the far parts, in which the dimensions should not exceed 0.2 * 0.2 meters. Sheathe the frame, for this carefully use the boards, because they should fit snugly next to each other. After that, you will need to make a door that should be installed on a hinge - 2-3 and attach the latches inside the resulting house.

Then you need to deal with the toilet seat, which is usually knocked down with plywood. A so-called cube is made, which does not have a bottom, and standard sizes are very often used, that is, 40 * 40 * 40 centimeters, then you need to firmly fix such a toilet seat over a pit on the ground, cut a hole in the shape of a circle and attach the toilet ring to the resulting toilet seat . In any case, if questions arise in the field of how to build a toilet from blocks, intuition can help you, because in fact, in the course of work, this work is not difficult to carry out.

After the work is done, we move on to the roof. Usually, ordinary slate is chosen, which has dimensions of 175 * 125 centimeters. The slate must be nailed on top with special slate nails. This entire block structure must be carefully treated with fungicidal impregnation and some compounds that will not let your structure rot. After finishing and processing, we enjoy our design - the building is ready.

How to make a toilet in the country - a few simple construction methods for beginners

Andrey

The toilet is one of the most necessary objects in the country. Therefore, experienced people always advise starting the arrangement of a bare area from it. But, how to make a toilet on your own, without having any experience in such work?

Country outdoor toilet

Next, I will try to help in this matter. Of course, we will not consider how to install an installation in a house or perform any other complex operation. Below I will only describe a few of the simplest ways to build an outdoor closet, aimed at beginners. We will also touch on some aspects of arranging a restroom in a house or inside another building.

Options for building an outdoor closet

You can build a toilet in the country from almost any material that you have at hand. For example, if you are going to build a country house, and have purchased building materials with a good supply, then the toilet can be built from the same materials, for example, from foam blocks. bricks, etc. In this case, a capital building with solid walls will turn out, however, it will take a relatively long time to build.

If you want to build a toilet with minimal time and effort, it is better to make it framed from a bar or metal profile, and then sheathe it with any material that you have at hand:

• boards;
• clapboard;
• polycarbonate;
• corrugated board, etc.;

If there is already a building on the site with free space sufficient for a toilet, then you can not build a booth. Below I will tell you how to make a toilet in the garage, in the house or any other building that is on the site.

Regardless of how you build the toilet, this procedure will include several basic steps:

Main stages of construction

Let's take a closer look at each of these steps below.

Toilet design

So, first of all, we need to draw up a project for the future building. This stage involves the solution of several important tasks at once:

Design stages

In fact, there is nothing complicated about this, however, each of the stages has its own nuances.

Cabin design

The simplest is the frame structure of the toilet. The frame, as a rule, consists of four racks, as well as the lower and upper trim. To increase the strength, braces and crossbars are additionally used.

Of course, if you wish, you can use a more complex frame, for example, to make a closet in the form of a tower. Also, sometimes a toilet and an outdoor shower are combined under one roof, which is also very convenient. Moreover, the layout may include a locker room so that things do not get wet while taking a shower.

An example of a frame toilet project in the form of a tower

On our portal you can find other ideas for the toilet. The main thing is that the level of their complexity is commensurate with your skills. If you are doing this kind of work for the first time, then it is better to perform a simple rectangular booth.

The project of a brick or block closet is simpler, since all walls are built by laying bricks or blocks. Therefore, the drawing should indicate only their location and the number of rows on each wall for the convenience of further work.

However, before drawing up a drawing of a structure, it is necessary to determine its dimensions. The latter, of course, can be taken arbitrarily at will, however, there are some generally accepted standards:

• height - 2 meters. This is usually quite enough, however, if there are tall people in the family, this parameter can be increased;
• the width according to the norms should be at least one and a half meters;
• length - 2 meters, this is also enough to position the toilet seat and provide a spacious area in front of it.

An example of a 3D toilet design

When drawing up a drawing, it is necessary to indicate not only the overall dimensions of the toilet, but also the dimensions of all parts in millimeters in order to avoid mistakes during the construction process. After that, you can calculate the amount of materials.

toilet type

After the design of the cabin is ready, you need to decide how the waste will accumulate or be processed. Depending on this, outdoor closets can be divided into several types:

• with a cesspool - in this case, there is a pit under the toilet, which is usually cleaned every few years;

Scheme of the powder-closet device

• powder closet - in this case, there is a small container under the toilet seat, which is taken out and emptied from time to time;
• dry closet - in fact, this same powder closet, but in this case, waste products are sprinkled with peat, as a result of which they immediately begin to be processed. After filling the container, the waste is poured into the compost pit, where over time an excellent fertilizer for plants is formed.

I must say that the dry closet can be placed even in the house or any other room. In this case, no additional plumbing for the toilet is needed. The only thing is that you will have to make partitions, for example, from drywall.

Dry closet can be put even in the house

On sale there are ready-made dry closets in the form of plastic toilet bowls with a tank. Instead of water in the tank is peat. The price of these products starts from 4500-5000 rubles.

The most common is a pit latrine, since after its construction, you can forget about any care for several years. The pit is necessarily made with sealed walls and a filter bottom to remove the liquid constituents of the waste. A layer of sand and gravel is used as a filter.

Groundwater should be located at a depth of at least six meters from the soil level. Otherwise, the bottom of the cesspool must be sealed.

As for the volume of the pit, two cubic meters is enough for a family of three to clean it every few years. If you have a large family, and you will spend a lot of time in the country, you can increase its volume to 2.5 cubic meters.

Of course, it is much easier and faster to make a powder closet, however, it is less convenient in terms of operation, since you will often have to empty the container. But, if you have made such a decision, put a bucket of peat near the toilet seat so that after each visit to the restroom you can sprinkle the contents of the bucket with peat. Thus, you will get a dry closet.

Minimum distances to objects on the site according to sanitary standards

Location selection

The final step in designing a toilet with your own hands is to determine its location. You can place a dry closet or powder closet in any place convenient for you.

If there are level differences on the site, then the toilet should be located as close as possible to the highest point in order to exclude the possibility of it being flooded with melt or storm water.

But when choosing a place for a toilet with a cesspool, certain rules must be observed. The fact is that according to sanitary standards, a certain distance must be observed from the toilet to important objects on the site:

You need to place the toilet on the site so that unpleasant odors do not interfere with your rest or the rest of your neighbors.

In addition, it should be borne in mind that sooner or later the pit will have to be cleaned out. Therefore, it is desirable to place the toilet closer to the outer fence so that a sewage truck can drive up to it.

After preparing the project, you can proceed to the practical part - construction.

Pit preparation

Building a block or brick toilet

Pit and foundation preparation

First of all, consider how to build a capital toilet from blocks and bricks. Work should begin with the implementation of a cesspool, which in our case will serve as a foundation. The instructions for doing this work look something like this:

1. First of all, you need to mark the site. It is desirable to arrange the pit so that it is at least 30-40 centimeters longer than the booth. In this case, behind the toilet, you can make a hatch for pumping waste. In the process of marking, it should be borne in mind that the minimum width between the walls should be one and a half meters. Those. the width of the pit must be indicated taking into account the thickness of the walls;
2. then you need to dig a hole to a depth of about one and a half meters;
3. then the bottom is covered with sand and gravel, after which it is carefully rammed. If groundwater is located nearby, the bottom should be reinforced and angered with concrete;

Cesspool with brick walls

1. then the walls of the pit are completed. They can be built of brick or poured with concrete. This operation is performed according to the same principle as the strip foundation. On our portal you can find detailed information on how this is done;
2. when the walls are ready, it is necessary to pour a concrete floor with a thickness of at least 5 cm. At the same time, do not forget to make a hatch over the toilet seat, and also leave an open area that will be located behind the toilet.

After each stage of pouring, i.e. pouring the bottom, floor, walls and ceiling, you need to stop work so that the concrete gains the necessary strength.

This completes the process of building a cesspool. Now you need to wait until the concrete gains brand strength.

Building a brick toilet

Building walls and roofs

The laying of the walls of the toilet has no features and is performed in the following sequence:

1. along the perimeter of the concrete slab, several layers of roofing material should be laid to waterproof the walls;
2. then the laying of bricks or blocks is carried out. There is nothing particularly difficult in this procedure. The only thing is that you need to carefully lay each row so that all the bricks are located in the same horizontal and vertical plane. To do this, you need to use the level, as well as pull the ropes that will serve as beacons. In addition, try to ensure that all joints have the same thickness (about 5 mm) and are completely filled with mortar;

Lighthouse bricklaying

1. lintels must be made above the door and window openings. For these purposes, you can use two metal corners located so that a brick or block can become on them;
2. when the walls are "raised" to the required height, you need to complete the roof. To do this, lay boards that can be fixed to the walls with dowels. A waterproofing film is laid on top of the boards and lathing is carried out with slats.

Any roofing material is attached over the crate - slate, corrugated board, metal tiles, etc.

The back wall of the toilet should be 15-20 centimeters lower than the front to ensure the slope of the roof.

On this, the construction of the capital toilet is almost completed. Now you need to make a toilet seat from the boards, which is a box with a hatch, as well as install a door and make a cover for the pit from the boards. Below I will tell you in more detail how the door and the toilet seat are made.

Arrangement of a cesspool and foundation

If the toilet will be your first construction experience, then it is better to make it framed, as it is much easier. In this case, the cesspool can be made from car tires.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. First of all, you need to mark the site and dig a hole in the back of the toilet. Its dimensions must be such that it is possible to lay the tires flat;
2. then the bottom of the pit is made according to the scheme described above, after which tires are stacked on top of each other until they reach ground level;
3. now you need to complete the columnar foundation. To do this, you need to dig pits according to the size of concrete blocks at each corner of the structure to a depth of about 40 cm. After that, the bottom of the pits needs to be covered with sand and gravel about 30 cm thick, carefully compacted and then laid concrete blocks. The blocks must be located in the same horizontal plane, so use beacons and a level during their installation;
4. At the end of the work, several layers of roofing material must be laid on the blocks.

Now that the pit and foundation are ready, you can start arranging the frame.

Construction of a frame toilet

Frame construction

The easiest way is to build a frame from a bar with a section of 50x50 mm, since this does not require a welding machine and any special tools. It is made as follows:

1. a grillage in the form of a rectangle of timber is laid on the foundation. You can fasten the timber together with self-tapping screws and metal corners;

toilet base

1. further, according to the same principle, vertical racks are installed, which can be strengthened with braces;

An example of mounting vertical racks

1. a cross member is mounted at the base, which will separate the toilet seat area from the floor. On this crossbar, the toilet seat racks will be located in the future;
2. from above, the upper strapping is performed, which is also fastened with corners and self-tapping screws;
3. now you need to fix the racks and crossbars at the locations of the door and window openings;
4. at the end of the work, you need to complete the frame of the toilet seat, which also consists of racks from horizontal crossbars.

sheathing

Now that the frame is ready, it needs to be sheathed. As mentioned above, it can be made from any "improvised" materials. For example, polycarbonate sheathing looks original.

If the exterior of the site is made in a rustic or Russian style, make it from a lining or at least from boards. Sheathing is also attached to the frame using our favorite self-tapping screws. By the same principle, the toilet seat is sheathed.

Sheathing the frame with boards

The roof is made according to the scheme described above. As for the door, it can be made from boards of suitable length, which are fastened together with Z-shaped rails. Boards are simply laid on the floor of the toilet.

Toilet seat example

That, in fact, is all that I wanted to tell you about the construction of an outdoor toilet. I note that the presence of a restroom on the site does not at all mean that you need to abandon the amenities in the house. On the contrary, if the toilet was not originally planned, you can allocate space for it at the expense of the living room.

The dry closet in this case is not the only way to equip the toilet in the house. If you want to create the most comfortable conditions, you can perform an autonomous sewage system and install a septic tank.

In this case, even the installation of an installation in the toilet can be realized. However, this is a separate topic for conversation, which we will talk about next time.

Output

Building a toilet is a task that every home craftsman can handle. Moreover, you can build a frame structure yourself in just a few days. I hope the above information was helpful to you.

Do-it-yourself foundation for a toilet in the country

Put a good foundation - will last a long time

Rest in the country should be comfortable and convenient, so often the arrangement of a garden plot begins with the construction of a sanitary facility. In order not to regret later on the work done, it is necessary to immediately take into account all the important points: choosing a good place, how to properly build a foundation for a toilet for many years, what should be the sequence of work and what we need for it.

Installing a foundation for a toilet in a country house is a simple task, and with the right approach, you can easily do it yourself.

How to find the right place

The convenience and durability of the structure depends on how correctly the installation site was chosen. Let's turn to the experience of experienced summer residents and find out a few important nuances.

Before starting work, a simple diagram is drawn, reflecting on it all summer cottages, a well or a well.

An important point: the toilet must be located at least 25 meters from the well, 7 meters from a residential building and 1 meter from the border line.

Based on these indicators, mark on your diagram the most suitable areas for the construction of a country toilet.

1. If the height of the soil fluctuates significantly in your summer cottage, then the best option for building a toilet with your own hands would be a lowland. Remember: in order to avoid flooding the cesspool with precipitation, it is necessary to thoroughly waterproof it. Don't forget to waterproof the foundation.
2. The soil on which the base of the toilet will be placed should not have high moisture levels or be floating. In the case of clay soil, for better absorption of liquids, it is necessary to line the bottom of the pit with sand and gravel.
3. One of the determining factors is the prevailing wind direction on the site. Therefore, it is necessary to build a toilet so that unpleasant odors do not spread to the residential sector.
4. If you plan to install a sanitary room with the expectation of many years, and you are not going to change the place every time after the pit is completely filled, then it is necessary to provide access to the toilet of the sewer truck.
5. Before you make a country toilet with your own hands, consider the following: it is equally contraindicated for this room to be both in the sun and in constant shade. The most acceptable option would be to place the building next to buildings or trees that cast a shadow at certain times of the day.

For the construction of a new toilet, a place that has already been used previously for garbage or the construction of a closet is not suitable.
