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, then 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.
Country toilet drawings
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.
- The frame of the wooden toilet is made of a 100x50 mm edged board and mounted on 150x150 mm timber runners treated with an antiseptic. In regions with a cold climate, the toilet can be insulated; foam plastic 50-150 mm thick is used for this purpose. The roof is shed, with a slope back, it can be covered with any roofing material, for example, soft tiles.
- The overall dimensions of the toilet are shown in the following drawing. The height of the toilet is usually at least 2 meters, the width is at least 120 cm.
- The end wall of the toilet has a rectangular shape and is assembled from a 100x50 mm board with nails or self-tapping screws in accordance with the drawing. The side walls are made in the form of a trapezoid, in one of the walls there is a window for natural light and ventilation. The front wall is made taking into account the doorway. The walls are made separately and fastened on the finished base.
- Runners from a 150 mm beam must be treated with an antiseptic, connected to studs or nails. To increase rigidity, grooves 50 mm deep and 150 mm wide are made in the lower skids.
Base - timber with a section of 150 × 150, treated with an antiseptic
- The lower floor is made of boards 50x100 mm and sewn up with OSB sheets, it can also be insulated with foam. If a cesspool is provided under the toilet, a hole must be made in the rear part of the toilet floor.
- The door frame can be made from a 50x50 mm bar, connecting them with diagonals to increase rigidity. The door is sheathed with OSB from the inside, from the outside - with the same material as the toilet itself.
- The truss system of a shed roof is a layered type. The rafters are made from a board of 100x50 mm, cuts are made in them and attached to the upper board of the wall frame with self-tapping screws or nails. Rafter pitch - 40 cm.
- Below is the specification of the required materials.
The technology of building a toilet at their summer cottage
- Choose a place for the toilet, located no closer than 25 meters from the water source. If it is impossible to locate the toilet beyond the sanitary zone, the container for faeces and drains must be airtight, without contact with the soil.
- Dig a hole for a container. The cesspool can be of any size, with access outside the toilet or located under it. The walls of the pit can be laid out with tires or a metal barrel of 200 liters can be dug into the ground. There are also special plastic containers reinforced with metal ribs - you can use them. The pit is backfilled around the dug-in container and the soil is rammed.
- Install a columnar foundation at the corners of the toilet skids. It can be made of brick or concrete blocks. A layer of roofing material is necessarily placed on top of the columns.
- The base of the toilet is made: skids are made from a 150x150 mm timber according to the drawing, fastened to the studs and installed on a columnar foundation. The runners are treated with an antiseptic or used oil.
- A floor covering is laid over the runners. For an insulated toilet, the floor is done as follows: from the bottom side, the floor is hemmed with OSB sheets, a foam insulation is laid between the frame boards, after which the floor is sewn up with OSB sheets from above. A hole is provided in the floor for draining feces, right above the dug-in container.
- According to the drawing, the walls are assembled from a 100x50 mm board, fastening the elements with nails or self-tapping screws. Install the wall frames on the base and fasten with the help of corners and self-tapping screws.
- The rafters are laid in accordance with the drawing: cuts are made in the rafters, resting them on the top board of the end and gable walls, after which the rafters are attached to nails or corners. The roof is sewn up with OSB sheets from below, insulation is laid between the boards - polystyrene foam. Roofing material or other rolled waterproofing is laid on top of the foam, corrugated board, slate or other suitable roofing material is fixed on top.
- The toilet is sewn up from the outside - clapboard, siding, blockhouse. Insulation can also be laid between the frame boards.
- The door is made from a bar measuring 50x50 mm in accordance with the drawing. To give the door frame strength, it is pulled diagonally with two bars. The door is sewn up similarly to the walls of the toilet. Hang door hinges, attach handles and locks.
- Insert glass into the side window. To do this, a bar 20-40 cm thick is stuffed onto the frame board along the perimeter of the window, glass cut to size is inserted and fixed with glazing beads.
- Inside, a shelf is made of a bar at a level of 40-50 cm. The bar is attached to the frame of the side walls with corners or nails. Carry out the interior lining of the toilet. The shelf is sewn up with a planed board 25 mm from above and in front, in the upper part a hole is made along the hole in the toilet seat. Attach a toilet seat with a lid.
- If desired, electricity is supplied to the toilet and lighting is provided.
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.
Recently, people often began to buy country plots to build a cozy house, a bathhouse on them. All this people do in order to come there on vacation or on vacation. As a rule, the first building after the acquisition of the site is a toilet. We can somehow manage without a house, a bathhouse and a shower, but there is no such building as a toilet.
In most cases, a rustic toilet is the first experience in construction. It is good that the village toilet is not a complicated structure and a person even without experience in construction can cope. Although the village toilet is not considered a complex building, there are some nuances that need to be considered.
Construction of a village toilet
So, how to build a rustic toilet:
- You must select the type of toilet;
- It is necessary to determine where the latrine will be located;
- It is necessary to determine the dimensions and select materials for construction;
- Start building.
And now we will analyze each stage in more detail.
Village toilet type
Before you start building a toilet, you need to decide on its type. And this is not about the house itself, but about its internal structure.
There are several types of rural toilets.
In this case, a container with peat, sawdust, ash, earth or a mixture of the above components is placed in the booth.
This name arose because the waste is, as it were, powdered with the above powders.
A kind of powder is a closet; crushed peat is used to sprinkle waste.
These types of toilets are also produced on an industrial scale.
Industrial peat toilets are similar to cistern toilets, but the cistern is not filled with water, but with peat crumbs.
In such a toilet, waste is poured into a container in which a solution containing microorganisms is poured. These organisms are engaged in the processing of waste.
Such booths are often installed in public places.
Soaked clay is laid between the walls of the drain pit and the soil.
Then a ceiling is laid on top of the pit, it is made of boards.
Two holes are left in the ceiling, for the toilet seat and for the hatch.
The hatch for pumping out waste is made double so that unpleasant odors do not penetrate outside.
Next, they are engaged in the installation of a ventilation pipe and only then they build a toilet house.
An outdoor toilet is a necessity that can be made part of the surrounding landscape. It is built with your own hands, so you won’t have to spend time and money on hiring a team of workers. There are no special requirements for it, so any modern project is easily implemented in practice. It is not always possible to create all the necessary living conditions in a private house, so you often have to resort to certain actions.
Options for a private house
For a long time, people had to use only traditional "little houses" with a hole in the floor. It is time to leave such options in the past, seriously thinking about modern projects. Gradually, they turn into an interesting option that can interest you with its simplicity and reliability:
- With a cesspool;
- With peat;
- Dry closet.
Choosing the right type, a person has to be based on various nuances. If this is not done, the result will not be what was expected. You will probably need detailed information that allows you to freely compare species, and then make accurate entries.
With cesspool
Traditional outdoor toilets are still being built on sites. Their main feature is a cesspool where sewage is collected. The worst thing is that people do not know how to properly arrange such a structure and make various mistakes.
The construction of a pit latrine comes with various challenges. Most often, you have to spend a lot of time for the phased implementation of various actions. Each of them remains mandatory, so no omissions should be made. Otherwise, an unpleasant odor will constantly accumulate or nearby sources of drinking water will be damaged.
with peat
The use of peat chips allows you to get rid of the cesspool device. In this case, a special tank is used as a storage tank, where the substance is laid on the bottom in an even layer. It accelerates decay as much as possible, therefore, in a short time, sewage turns into an ideal fertilizer for a summer cottage.
The construction of such a toilet is associated with a complex drainage and ventilation system. Otherwise, the smell will not work. It will spread throughout the site, annoying people. So in advance it is worth considering a complex device that guarantees comfortable use of the toilet.
Important! When using peat, the size of the container should be small, but the amount of liquid in it should be minimal.
dry closet
A dry closet is a modern solution that does not require the construction of a separate house. Although it can be installed there to provide comfortable conditions. The only problem is the high cost of acquisition and operation. Which is why few people choose it.
A separate building is much cheaper than the regular purchase of expensive cleaning products. When choosing, such proposals are usually ignored, proving to be stupid. Moreover, it is difficult to consider them as a full-fledged street toilet.
How to build with your own hands?
How to build a toilet? First you have to study the step-by-step guide with a few tips. They will help simplify the task so that the construction takes less time, and also gives a reliable result. Yes, the dimensions can be changed in accordance with your own wishes, but the main nuances remain constant:
- First you need to prepare the foundation. The lightness of the design allows you to get rid of the monolith and even the tape pouring of concrete. Usually it is enough to put posts on which the frame will later rest or immediately put load-bearing posts, although this is impractical.
- Next, the main frame is assembled. For it, you should choose a beam, on which the main shield material will subsequently be attached. The cross section is selected in accordance with the dimensions and load, so it is impossible to predict it in advance. A beam of 40x40 mm is considered the minimum, but the indicators may vary.
- After that, the floors are laid. For them, a traditional board of 36-42 mm is selected, which ensures the durability of the structure. Often, designers offer alternative options, but they complicate construction.
- After that, you should put the truss system, chosen in accordance with your own wishes. The simplest is a pitched roof that does not require professional skills to install.
- The last step is wall cladding and door installation. Various materials are chosen for this, although wood with a thickness of 20 mm remains traditional.
Building your own building in the yard will not take much time if you prepare a cesspool in advance. It should be given special attention, which should be discussed in detail. You will also have to pre-prepare the necessary materials, so as not to break away from the work in progress.
Cesspool device
The construction of a cesspool is a difficult task. If a person believes that simply digging it out is enough, he is greatly mistaken. It is necessary to use one of the projects that guarantees the correct exploitation of land resources. What is the simplest option to use? Here they are:
- The bottom is covered with sand, and then poured with concrete;
- The walls are lined with bricks or concrete rings are placed;
- A lid with a hatch is added on top.
These works are required for proper protection against the spread of sewage in the summer cottage. Even with the correct location of the toilet, one has to deal with the potential danger of the spread of harmful substances through the ground. Accordingly, you must follow all the rules.
Important! If groundwater is at a depth of less than 2.5 m, it is forbidden to equip a cesspool.
What material to choose?
Choosing materials for sheathing, some owners of country houses are trying to save money. They evaluate plastic or wooden panels, but only a log house or a plank remains an ideal option. In this case, a person not only gets an aesthetically beautiful building in the middle of the yard, but also enjoys the irreplaceable advantages of wood:
- Good thermal insulation;
- Durability when leaving;
- Ease of plating;
- Ease of fit.
There are various materials on the market today, but wood remains popular. The demand for it continues to grow, because without such buildings it is impossible to imagine the natural landscape. Every detail in it must be perfect, so you should not give up great opportunities for the sake of saving a small amount.
Where is the best place to build?
When wondering how to make a toilet on the street, you first need to deal with the place of its installation. This is a real problem for inexperienced people who are not familiar with the basic rules. They believe that it is enough to hide the structure from prying eyes to provide convenience, but this is not so.
- The minimum distance to the water source is 30-35 m;
- The minimum distance to the neighboring site is 2 m;
- The minimum distance to the house is 15-20 m.
The combination of all these parameters allows you to make the necessary calculations right on the plan. Ventilation should still be installed in accordance with all the rules, but finding a place in the yard remains the most important task. If this is not done, you will not be able to escape from unpleasant odors. Yes, you always want it to be as close to home as possible, but you can’t make such a mistake.
How to remove the smell?
The nasty stench from the outdoor toilet scares the owners of summer cottages the most. They are well aware that it is difficult to cope with it. To do this, you should take into account several available opportunities that have long turned into interesting ways. What is this about?
- Proper ventilation;
- Peat;
- Chemical means.
The creation of a ventilation system is a prerequisite, but in some cases even it cannot cope with the spreading odors. If it is not possible to urgently order the services of sewers, you can use peat. Its addition will allow the sewage to be processed into fertilizer, which will be absorbed into the soil.
If we talk about daily care, it should be noted the available chemicals. They help break down sewage into its constituent components, processing them in a peculiar way. This approach guarantees simplicity, but such expenses rarely suit people. The cost of the compositions is significant, so it is often more profitable to do without them.
A comfortable and beautiful toilet in the country is not a luxury. You can make it with your own hands, using proven rules and applying a little imagination. After that, the surrounding landscape is complemented by an elegant house, surprising with its simplicity and brightness.
This article presents samples of country toilets: drawings of booths, their average sizes, some recommendations for construction. The design can be different: there are rectangular, triangular, diamond-shaped projects. Choose the shape, then the material, and you can start building. There are drawings, the structure is not the most difficult. Just keep in mind that the sizes are given for people of average height and build. They can be easily changed without changing the design too much.
Scheme of a street toilet
The most common variant of a country or garden toilet is a rectangular building. It is also called the "birdhouse" because in the variant with a shed roof it is very reminiscent of it.
The project of a country toilet made of wood of the "Birdhouse" type (to increase the size of the picture, click on it with the left mouse button)
In the toilet drawing shown in the photo above, a 40 mm thick board was used for finishing. The construction is quite inexpensive. Doors can be made from the same boards, fastened with planks at the top, bottom and obliquely. Loops can be put external - barn, having issued the structure in a deliberately rough style.
Despite the fact that the building is utilitarian, if desired, it can be given an attractive look and the birdhouse will turn into a quite attractive small building. For example, you can make a small mill out of this building.
Country toilet-mill - a little imagination and an unsightly building becomes a decoration of the site (to increase the size of the picture, click on it with the left mouse button)
The same birdhouse, but from a log house - a completely different look. Everything will look especially harmonious if the building on the site is built (or will be built) also from a log.
Even the simplest log toilet looks almost exotic. Moreover, it can also be used as a winter version (to increase the size of the picture, click on it with the left mouse button)
For regions where wood is a luxury, and it is irrational to spend it on building a toilet, the same structure can be sheathed with other material. For example, the frame is sheathed with any sheet material - plywood, fiberboard, GVL. They can be laid on the outside of the finishing material - tiles or decorative stone. An even more budget option is to sheathe it with corrugated board.

This is the type of toilet that is easy to build with bricks. They are usually made in half a brick. There are no difficulties even for an inexperienced bricklayer. Offset masonry, cement-sand mortar.

Toilet type "Shalash" (triangular)
This toilet cubicle has the shape of a triangle. The side walls are also the slope of the roof. You can build such a toilet with your own hands in a few hours. Drawings with approximate dimensions are given in the picture below. It is possible and necessary to make adjustments to them: all dimensions are given for people of average build.

If you need wider doors, you can not push the base, which is already considerable in this project, but make doors of a non-standard shape - as in the figure on the right.
Sheathing with finishing materials in the "Shalash" toilets is carried out only in front and behind. Roofing material is laid on the side surfaces. You can use any, but soft tiles or polymer slate look good.
Having drawings, a triangular toilet in the country is easier to build
In the photo on the right, the crate is made under sheet roofing material - they used plastic slate - it is available in different colors, it is relatively inexpensive, it is mounted simply - with nails and gaskets.
If you plan to use soft roofing material - roofing material, shingles or something similar, make the crate solid - from a sheet of moisture-resistant plywood, GVL. They are attached to the frame with self-tapping screws, roofing materials are laid on top.
Drawing toilet "Teremok"
This toilet is shaped like a diamond. Compared to the "Shalash", it takes longer to build, but it also looks more decorative. With appropriate design, it will not spoil the landscape at all.
Drawing of the toilet "Teremok" with dimensions (to increase the size of the picture, click on it with the left mouse button)
A diamond-shaped house for a toilet in a summer cottage looks good. Outside, the frame can be upholstered with a round timber of small diameter sawn in half, a lining of large thickness, a block house, an ordinary board. If you use a board, do not nail it end-to-end, but lay it a couple of centimeters on the bottom, like a fir cone. You can, of course, end-to-end, but the appearance will not be the same ...
The second option: the country toilet "Teremok" is made with beveled side walls.

The main catch in any small wooden toilet is to secure the doors well. The door frame is the most loaded part, especially on the side where the doors are attached. To fasten the door pillars to the frame beams, use studs - so the fastening will be reliable.
From this simple, in general, design, you can make a restroom in any style. For example, in Dutch. The finish is simple - light plastic, on top of which characteristic beams are stuffed, stained with stain. Pay attention to the glass inserts and the fact that the roof of this instance is made of polycarbonate. If the polycarbonate is multilayer, it should not be hot)))
You can even turn the Teremok toilet into a royal carriage. This is not a joke… confirmation in the photo. All you need to do is change the shape and add a few decorative elements that are typical for carriages. So you get a toilet in the form of a carriage.
Here are some photos of the manufacturing process. The original has a dry closet, so the construction is simple: there is no need to think ... but you can adapt such a booth to any type ...
Please note that the shape is achieved thanks to the boards set at an angle, and the smoothly tapering bottom is due to the supports trimmed accordingly.
The floor is sewn up with short boards, then the sheathing starts from the outside. At the top, the carriage also has a smooth bend - cut out the appropriate guides from short boards, nail them to the existing side posts, and you can start the outer wall cladding.
Inside is also sheathed with clapboard. Outside the toilet-carriage is whitewashed, inside the wood has a natural color. After that, decoration and the addition of characteristic details remain - monograms painted with gold, lanterns, “golden” chains, wheels.
"Royal" curtains and flowers))) There is even a washstand and a small sink.
After all the efforts, we have the most unusual toilet in the area. Few can boast of such...
Warm restroom
Using a toilet with a wall in one plank in the summer is quite comfortable. But not all dachas are visited only in the warm season. For the autumn-spring period, at least some kind of insulation is needed, which will block the drafts.
In this case, the design of the toilet is no different. Only increase the dimensions by 5-10 cm more: the sheathing will be double - outside and inside, and insulation is laid between the sheathing. The doors will also need to be insulated - double doors are too heavy for such a building, but from the inside they can be upholstered with a piece of linoleum, dermantin and other well-washable material.
Combined shower-toilet
The second necessary building in the country is a shower. And if so, then why build two separate structures, if they can be built under one roof. Several drawings of country toilets with a shower for self-construction are published below.

As you guessed, the structure is simply doubled in width. If you want, you can create your own project, according to your desires and needs. The drawing of the hozblok with a toilet will be exactly the same. You may need to make one of the rooms a little larger. Just provide for this when planning and manufacturing supports for construction.
Everyone knows the popular expression that says that acquaintance with the theater begins with a hanger. We will not be mistaken if we say about the dacha that it begins with a toilet. By its appearance and device, one can judge the owner. The “handy” owner has this building beautiful and neat. It has no drafts and no bad smell.
It will be useful for beginners of country life to learn how to build an inexpensive and comfortable outdoor toilet with their own hands.
In this article, we will talk about the most common types of closet structures, their arrangement and consider the possibility of combining with other summer cottages.
According to the method of disposal of sewage, these facilities are divided into three types:
- Powder closets;
- Toilets with a cesspool (septic tank);
- Water closets.
The first type of outdoor toilet is easy to arrange and operate. Its main part is a seat (stool), under which a removable container is installed. After each visit, a peat mixture is poured into it with a scoop, which absorbs liquid and unpleasant odors.
A toilet seat with a sealed lid and a bucket of peat - that's all you need to equip an outdoor latrine
A significant drawback of this design is the small capacity of the bucket. For those who rarely visit the dacha, powder closet is optimal. If you plan to spend weekends on your site or your family has more than three people, you will often have to empty the container.
An improved version of powder closet is a peat dry closet, offered on the market today. It consists of a plastic case, inside which one or two containers are placed. A tank with a peat mixture and a dispenser is installed on top.
1, 2 – containers for the solid fraction; 3 - funnel for liquid; 4 – funnel for solid fraction; 5 - a tank with a dispenser for peat; 6 - ventilation pipe; 7 - drainage tube
To eliminate unpleasant odors, the structure is equipped with an exhaust pipe leading to the roof of the cabin. Empty containers in such a toilet should be no more than once a week. This is achieved by separating the liquid and solid waste fractions.
When using a dry closet, the liquid enters a funnel located in the front of the body and is discharged through a tube into the ground or a plastic container located on the street. Dense fractions of sewage accumulate in the inner container.
Dry closet in the "combat position" and in the process of installation. In the first case, the closeness of the booth catches your eye, so we do not advise you to save on its area at the expense of comfort.
Despite the advantages of a peat toilet over a classic powder closet (conversion of waste into fertilizer, good ventilation and extended use), many summer residents choose the option with a cesspool (septic tank). Its device is cheaper than buying an "advanced" dry closet, and the frequency of cleaning is 1-2 times a year.
At the same time, one should remember two serious problems that the cesspool can present to its owners if it is built incorrectly:
- Infection of the soil with pathogenic bacteria;
- Bad smell.
It is not enough to simply dig a large hole in the ground and put a closet over it. The sewage tank must be securely isolated from the ground. A concrete tank treated with a waterproofing impregnation is best suited for this purpose.
The second condition is the introduction of special bacteria into the cesspool. They quickly decompose sewage, disinfect them and eliminate odor. Dry concentrates of bacteria for septic tanks and cesspools can now be bought at any household supermarket.
The design of the backlash closet (air toilet) cannot be called too complicated. Its main part is a concrete pit with a hole. A booth is installed on it. To eliminate unpleasant odors, an exhaust pipe is placed on its back wall. Its lower end is in the pit, and the upper one rises above the roof. Due to the difference in height, thrust is formed. The air from the cabin is sucked into the pit and expelled into the atmosphere through a pipe.
Scheme of the design of the backlash closet
Another popular option for a summer cottage toilet is a water closet. Its main part is the well-known toilet bowl with a flush tank. There is a water lock in it, which excludes the possibility of the smell coming out of the pit into the booth. Unfortunately, it is impossible to use such a system without heating, because in winter the water in the toilet and cistern freezes. Therefore, this design is designed for the warm season.
Drawing of a street water closet
With the onset of warm days, the container on the roof of the booth is filled with water. The outlet channel is connected to through a tee equipped with a vertical ventilation pipe.
Toilet cubicle options
You can build a toilet cubicle from different materials. Most often, the basis of the structure is a wooden frame sheathed with OSB, grooved board, plywood or siding.
The toilet, sheathed with a planed board, looks neat and cozy
Moving away from the use of the frame and sheathing, the house can be folded from, thereby creating a picturesque imitation of a log house.
Lovers of natural wood can also be advised to use a blockhouse for sheathing. It is cheaper than a massive log and is easily mounted on a frame. No less attractive are the walls of the toilet, lined with wooden clapboard "herringbone".
Many dacha owners are not satisfied with the rustic look of the "birdhouse" toilet. Striving for originality, they erect luxurious log mansions on the plots for "solitary reflections."
Brick and blocks as materials for the construction of latrines are still very popular. Whatever one may say, but the capital structure will stand for more than a dozen years. Neither dampness, nor wind, nor the sun will harm him.
If there was no facing brick at hand, then the walls can be built from the remnants of red and silicate. High-quality plaster will hide the irregularities of the masonry.
A booth built from mixed bricks is waiting for a plaster finish
Translucent polycarbonate can be used for lining a metal profile booth. This material looks very aesthetically pleasing and is not afraid of moisture.
Sheet corrugated board is a practical and durable material for a toilet cubicle. You can put it on both wooden and steel frames. The only condition is the internal lining of the walls with insulation. Without this addition, there will be a hot “oven” in the summer, and a freezer in the winter.
Interior decoration of the booth with plastic clapboard - concise and hygienic
Straw blocks can be attributed to the category of unusual materials used for the construction of latrines. The cabin built from them is warm and cozy. Anyone who wants to impress the imagination of neighbors and guests does not go to the construction base for materials. Having collected a certain number of empty bottles, he builds a toilet out of them "to everyone's surprise."
In addition to rectangular and rounded structures, "huts" of various sizes are very popular.
There are two rational grains in this solution:
- The slopes of the steep roof replace the walls;
- The unusual appearance of the building adorns the landscape.
Very often, the toilet becomes part of the hozblok. This solution allows you to place several rooms in one building. As a result, savings are achieved during construction (common walls) and the comfort of use is increased (a warm toilet is always at hand).

Some owners combine two toilets in the building: "for gentlemen and ladies."
How to build a simple toilet for a summer residence on your own?
Having decided on the waste disposal system (powder closet, cesspool, septic tank), you can begin construction.
Minimum cabin dimensions- width 1 meter, depth 1.4 meters and height 2.0 meters.
The basis of the structure, the step-by-step construction of which we will consider, is a wooden frame made of antiseptic bursa. It can be placed on a block foundation or on a shallow concrete "tape". A thick sheet of plywood or OSB board with a rectangular hole cut into it is attached to the frame from above.
Having assembled the base, the vertical racks of the frame and strapping bars are set according to the level.
Having made the frame, it is sheathed with plywood using a jigsaw and a screwdriver.
The next step is the installation of the roof rafters. They are made from a dry beam with a section of 5x10 cm, cutting it into the upper belt of the wall binding. In the upper part, the bars are connected to a horizontal ridge board.
Having completed this stage, the rafters are sheathed with plywood. This is the best base for shingles that will lay on the roof.
Having finished with the roof, proceed to the assembly of the "podium" frame. It will have a powder-closet storage tank and a hole for a seat with a lid.
The toilet door is assembled from a tongue-and-groove board fastened with transverse strips for greater rigidity.
After tying the doorway with a beam, a door leaf is attached to it with the help of hinges. Finishing operation - painting the closet booth from the outside and from the inside.
In conclusion, let's say that we considered the option of building a summer outdoor toilet. For the winter season, the walls from the inside must be insulated with foam plastic (minplate) and sheathed with any sheet material (plywood, OSB, board, plastic).
If you decide to bring light into the booth, then along the way you can increase the comfort of use at minimal cost. Install an electric fan heater. In just a few minutes, it will warm the air to a positive temperature.
