If you have a country house or a summer cottage with all amenities, then, of course, you are incredibly lucky. After all, you can’t do without a toilet and a shower. But for those who do not have such buildings on the site, we suggest making a toilet with your own hands. It will take only a desire and the necessary materials for this.
There are plenty of options for building a toilet in the country. Naturally, the only question is how much money are you going to spend on it. It is better to build a toilet as a separate autonomous building, and not to install it in the house directly. Firstly, an ordinary village toilet on the street does not require expensive sewer pipes. Secondly, with high-quality construction does not need constant care, cleaning. The only disadvantage of a toilet on the street is the uncomfortable feeling of who is in it in the autumn-winter period. But this problem, if desired, can be eliminated by putting a heating system in the building (but this is superfluous).
So, how to build a toilet in the country? The cheapest option is to dig a deep hole, install, for example, a wooden fence and build the most primitive floor with a small hole. But, say, this option is impractical, short-lived and already old-fashioned.
It is more attractive to build a stone building. First you need to decide on a place. The toilet should be located away from the well or well. Otherwise, contamination of drinking water simply can not be avoided. The distance from the toilet to the source of drinking should be at least 25 meters. If your site is not on level ground, then the construction of the toilet must begin in the lowland. Also, when choosing a place for a toilet, pay attention to the wind rose in your area. You must admit that it is not very attractive to feel unpleasant odors in a house or on a personal territory.
So, we decided on this, which means that you can talk about how to build a toilet in the country.
Let's get started. First you need to dig a hole deeper. Do not forget about groundwater. It depends on their depth which toilet you will build: backlash or powder-closet. In any case, the pit is important to properly and scrupulously isolate.
A powder-closet toilet is a structure without a cesspool. It is replaced by a waterproof container mounted under the seat, which is periodically poured out.
The second type of country toilet is a backlash closet. It is suitable if there are no obstacles to the passage and operation of the machine that cleans the pit.
On the basis of the second type, an ordinary village toilet is also built. The cesspool should not be less than 1 meter deep. Along the perimeter, the ground part of the toilet is either erected from wood or from brick. The platform is usually made of wood. You can also build a seat from trimmed boards. By the way, if the platform is concreted, it is quite realistic to install a toilet on it.
Speaking about how to build a toilet in the country, you should focus on the surface structure itself. Today, a toilet house can be bought at any specialized store. It can be a plastic or wooden structure. On the one hand, it is convenient. But still, a stone or brick separate building is better. This will last longer, and looks more aesthetically pleasing.
If you feel that you do not understand how to build a toilet in the country yourself, then buy a dry closet. It can be used not only in the country. It is convenient and practical. By the way, a dry closet is available at a price. Middle-income people can afford it. If you firmly decided that it is necessary to build a toilet, then, having self-doubt, invite professional builders. They quickly and, most importantly, efficiently, perform all the necessary work.
