At the moment, most urban residents have cottages. Usually they are already equipped. However, if the plot was recently acquired, some efforts must be made to make the stay in a country house comfortable. This applies to a variety of things, including such as a country toilet.
The dimensions of this structure must be calculated correctly. To proceed, of course, is from what, in fact, the dimensions of the people who will use it. In any case, at the entrance to the closet, you should not bend your head or touch the walls with your elbows during its use.
Before proceeding with the construction, you need to decide on the place where such a design as a country toilet will be installed. Its dimensions are calculated in advance. In addition, it must be noted that the distance to the living quarters must be at least six meters. You can not place the toilet also near the well. It is best to establish a closet taking into account the prevailing winds in the area. In the event that a smell appears, it should not interfere with you and the more so neighbors.
It is easiest to use boards and bars for this construction. A country wooden toilet is easy to manufacture and inexpensive. You will need 10x10 bars for four racks, a flange and an upper crown. In addition, you will need to purchase material with a smaller section - 5x5 cm. This beam will be needed for the installation of the pedestal.
Sheathing is best done from boards. In addition, you will need boards for the floor and ceiling,
roofing material for the roof. The foundation can be made concrete, but it is better to deepen the racks into the ground and pour the mixture. Once the place is determined, and the necessary materials and tools are prepared, you can proceed with the actual collection of the structure.
The first thing to do is dig a hole under the country toilet. Its dimensions depend on the dimensions of the structure itself. The standard version of the toilet is 1 m wide, 1.5 m long and 2 m high. The pit should be smaller in size than the structure, otherwise it will be impossible to install racks. Its standard size is 75x75. But it’s better to make it more authentic and take it out of the toilet behind. Then in the future it will be easier to clean the structure. The part that remains outside is simply covered with a lid. The depth of the pit depends on the number of residents and the frequency of use of the structure.
A summer cottage, the photo of which can be seen in the article, is a standard summer cottage. So, we dig the posts into the ground and fill the lower and upper horizontal bars on the structure. You can use the corners. In addition, at a distance of a meter from the level of the future floor, it is necessary to arrange horizontal stiffeners from two sides.
After the frame is ready, on the inside, it is filled with bars of a small section at a convenient height under the pedestal. Then the structure is sheathed with boards on three sides. In order to make the roof inclined, an additional bar is stuffed onto one of the bars of the upper crown. Further, the frame is also lined with boards from above. To protect the interior from moisture, use any available roofing material.
All that remains is to fill the floorboards, arrange a seat, having previously cut a round hole in plywood and hung the door. A country toilet, the dimensions of which are convenient, and the design is durable, is ready. You can insulate it with foam or mineral wool, additionally sheathed with plywood.
