A washstand for giving is a necessary thing. Those who visit the site only in the summer can get by with homemade devices made of plastic bottles, car rubber, or other improvised materials. Those who like to visit the cottage all year round will have to install a heated washbasin . Agree, washing your hands with ice water is not very nice. There are two ways to solve the problem. The easiest is to buy a country wash basin. Today in stores you can find a variety of models at very different prices. But if you like to do everything yourself, you can assemble the device yourself. However, improvised means will not work here, you will have to purchase some parts in stores.
A washstand for giving. What is required?
First, make a list of what you have to buy in the store.
- Metal profile for frame device.
- Sink for washing. Even one that was already in use will do.
- A pipe (preferably corrugated) to drain water from the tank into the sink. It is better to immediately buy a ready-made siphon.
- Pipe for draining water into the sewer along with all the necessary fittings.
- Water tank.
- Ten (you need to heat the water with something).
A washstand for giving. Start to design
It’s best to start by creating a drawing. We draw a rack (frame) and place on it all the necessary devices. And only after that we get to work. We assemble the frame from the metal profile. It can be welded, or bolted. The main thing is that the design is stable and durable. Now we begin to create a drain. We install a sink, attach a siphon to it, equip a drain. The simplest option is to place a bucket under the sink. But, firstly, it will have to endure constantly. Secondly, an unpleasant odor can come from such a container. Finally, the bucket is unaesthetic. Therefore, we take a corrugated pipe, we conduct it under the floor outside the house. There, about five meters from the walls, we organize a drain hole.
By the way, some craftsmen instead of the finished pipe use cut plastic bottles inserted into each other. The method is cheaper, but less reliable. In any case, outside the house, a drain pipe is dug up so as not to trip over it and not disturb a rather fragile structure. Drain ready, collect the countertop. It can also be bought, or can be made from existing scraps of wood.
Only such a creation must necessarily be sheathed with a moisture-resistant coating, otherwise the countertop will quickly rot. Under the countertop, you can put a cabinet with doors. A washstand for cottages should take up little space, but be as functional as possible. Now we return to the frame and install a water tank on it . It can be a tank bought in a store or a plastic bottle. There is a subtlety: the larger the tank, the more convenient it is to use. Do not have to save. We insert ten in the tank. Here you will need the help of an electrician: jokes are bad with electricity. Everything seems to be. The resulting design may even look relatively decent. However, if you want to make your country house beautiful and cozy, it is better to invest in buying a finished washstand. It is more reliable, more aesthetic and not much more expensive. However, you decide.
