Most often, the design of a “place for reflection” is not shelved. Usually this is a simple and unpretentious design (it’s good that it doesn’t blow away with a gust of wind), consisting of wooden house And cesspool. However, there are enthusiasts who approach this issue creatively, with soul and create a real masterpiece on their site, bringing the country bathroom closer. In today's review, we will tell you what a country toilet can be like and what technical solutions can make it comfortable, and your care for it the least tiring.

As you probably noticed, closets in the country can be different forms: in the form of a house, cabins, booths, with and without fences, with and without cesspools. With a certain carpentry and locksmith skill, it will not be difficult to build a comfortable bathroom in your country house. Moreover, modern technologies allow you to create a toilet without building a cesspool. How? Consider the options.

Advice! If your house is equipped with a water supply network and sewerage, then the easiest option is to build a so-called "water closet". The entire drain system is mounted inside the house, and the toilet itself is outside, which will free up space in the country house and get rid of extraneous odors.

You can use the water closet only in the warm season. In winter, the water in the tank will simply freeze.

Peat toilet: an option for an amateur

An interesting kind of toilet, where waste must be covered with peat. For this, a container with peat mass is specially installed next to the tank.

Important! It is desirable to connect ventilation to the toilet.

Such toilets have recently become increasingly popular: models such as Ekomatic (Ekomatic), Piteko (Piteco), Biolan (Biolan) are already familiar to most "advanced" summer residents. The liquid part is simply drained into a special tank that needs to be emptied.

Powder closet: the fastest in assembly and installation speed

Powder closet can be installed in any corner or area. Under it, you do not need to dig a cesspool, it is enough to use a simple bucket or other container.

The whole structure consists of a toilet seat, where the toilet stand is installed.

With repeated use, the waste is sprinkled with ordinary wood shavings. Finished designs equipped with a special sprinkling mechanism.

Advice! Typically, this design is used in areas where, due to the level ground water it is impossible to dig a full-fledged cesspool. However, if you want to use powder closet not on outdoors, and in a room or a closed perimeter, it is better to provide a ventilation system.

Dry closet: expensive, but effective

Typically, a fairly expensive system is used in street cafes or in crowded places. However, there are also more compact designs that are quite suitable for a country house. The principle of operation of the dry closet is simple. In a special container where sewage gets, pumped chemical substances which work on the principle of treatment facilities.

Containers require cleaning, so you will have to "go broke" for periodic maintenance of the dry closet.

Country toilet-bucket: simple and cheap

An even simpler version of a country closet. One of the most accessible and inexpensive. It works on the principle of a night vase, just a little more in volume. A disposable bag is usually placed inside. Sometimes they don’t do this and simply disinfect the container after each use. These bucket toilets are very common in nursing homes. After all, it is very often difficult for older people, due to their age, to get to the bathroom on their own. A country toilet-bucket can be a great replacement for an outdoor toilet in the cold season.

Chemical toilet: an interesting version of the odorless toilet

Bucket toilet variation. However, in this case, the waste cannot be used as, as it has already reacted with chemicals and can be dangerous for plant nutrition.

Toilet in the country with a cesspool: a classic of country life

A classic country bathroom is an outdoor toilet with a dug out cesspool. What designs do craftsmen come up with to turn a classic latrine into an interesting decor element!

There are two types:

• Option 1. Non-portable pit latrine: a waste pit is built with a concrete base, equipped with filters so that the drains do not disturb the ecosystem of the site.

• Option 2. Cesspool with a portable house. After filling one pit, it is conserved, pumped with special substances for decay, covered with metal sheets. And the house is transferred to another place, where a new closet is being dug.

Backlash closet: a universal solution for home and street

Such a toilet can be installed even in the absence of a sewerage system. This is an improved version of the classic cesspool. Such a system necessarily provides for installation, only without the sewerage we are used to.

The advantages of such a toilet are that at first glance they are no different from ordinary ones. All odors are tightly hidden inside the container.

Important! The cesspool from the toilet towards the common drive goes with a slight expansion, and the bottom must be made with a slope.

Country toilet with shower: ideal for hot weather

This is a more extended version of the water closet, the only difference is that not only the toilet is equipped, but also a shower, possibly or a washbasin. It is a high-grade open-air.

Which toilet is better to choose for a summer residence: with or without a cesspool

Of course, it all depends on the financial possibilities. Sometimes the option with a cesspool will be ideal, in some cases it will be possible to get by with a bucket.

Like we said, a cesspool isn't for everyone. suburban area. In this case, other alternative methods and solutions can be used.

Types of models of toilet bowls for a country toilet

Never put in an outdoor toilet. The fact is that under the weight of the entire structure, taking into account the weight of a person, the wooden base of the toilet may not withstand. That is why it is better to use a porcelain and plastic toilet. require mandatory connection to water supply systems and a drain structure.

Provide pipe branches from all water points in advance. For example, a water closet provides for the removal of sewage into a septic tank or cesspool.

Advice! A home-made tank requires mandatory sealing of the joints, usually these are concrete rings 100 - 150 mm thick, after they are created, the hatch is covered with a slab or sheet, which can be removed if necessary to pump out the drains with a sewage machine.

Plastic and ceramic toilet

The most versatile toilet of all is the plastic one. It is quite light, yet durable. You can embed the bottom yourself if you need to install directly above the septic tank. They are also easy to wash, there are the most different variants colors and shapes.

Ceramic toilets are slightly more expensive, but they also look more solid. Domestic models on average cost about 2000 thousand rubles.

Which is better to buy a country toilet for an outdoor toilet

• there must be fasteners at the bottom of the device, otherwise it will be problematic to install it on;
• the device should be as light as possible, and the mechanisms should be simple;
• the hole at the bottom should be wide to make it easier to clean.

What means can be used to eliminate the smell in a country toilet with a cesspool

In almost every variant of a country toilet, it is necessary to arrange a forced one, perhaps, except for chemical ones. That is why it is better to take care of this even at the stage of planning the closet.

If the ventilation pipe was not originally provided, then you can install it yourself. To do this, use a regular or piece metal pipe, it is important to strengthen it in a cesspool. And bring the other half to the roof of the toilet, the edge should protrude. In the warm season, the sun will heat the pipe, and it will work like a hood .

Important! Under no circumstances should bleach be added to the cesspool, peat toilets! It will kill all the necessary bacteria that are working hard to process the waste.

bioactivator biosept

They are quite simple to use: the agent must be diluted in water according to the instructions, poured into a cesspool, and then the bacteria will already work independently without your help.

We list the most popular names:

• "Intavir";
• "Successful";
• "Clean house";
• "Sanex";
• "Micropan";
• "Doctor Robik";

The main advantage of using such products is their environmental friendliness, safety for the soil, as well as an additional deodorizing effect.

How to choose a place for an outdoor toilet for a summer residence in accordance with the regulations

When choosing the location of a country toilet, it is important to consider many factors. This is, first of all, the neighborhood with natural water sources, wells. Sanitary buildings should be located no closer than 25 meters to a water source.

If the relief of the site is complex, then it is most correct to place the cesspool in a lowland, rather than on a hill, otherwise, runoff can spread into the soil of the entire site.

Install the toilet away from residential buildings, including neighboring ones, a gust of wind can carry an unpleasant “aroma” through the window to neighbors.

Advice! If you plan to use a sewer machine for cleaning drains, place the cesspool closer to the stop

If in your area high level, any manipulations with digging cesspools are extremely contraindicated. Otherwise, you risk ruining the crop and ruining it. In this case, the only solution may be a sealed storage tank.

Country toilet projects - drawings with dimensions and photos

Toilet in the country house or how to find a way out when it is not there

In our house, like everyone else in the district, the problem of sewage disposal is solved simply: they flow into a shambo - a cesspool without a bottom. Since the plots are quite large for everyone, and the drinking water supply is centralized, there are no problems with a place for a pit.

Our city friends also decided to make a comfortable toilet in country house to which they travel all year round and suffer from a lack of familiar amenities. Especially when it's night, frost or bad weather outside.

And then the question arose before them: where on small area place such a hole? After all, there is a water well right there, and vegetables and fruits grow, for which such a neighborhood is contraindicated. And burying a sealed container in the ground means calling a sewage truck every month, which is very expensive (given the remoteness of the site from civilization), and in winter it is simply impossible.

Two plus two equals... five

Deciding to explore everything possible options how to make a warm toilet in the country and choose the most suitable one from them, we, together with our comrades yearning for comfort, found that there are a lot of them. I will describe everything worthy of attention, as well as the arguments of friends against most of them.

Two quick and inexpensive ways to have a lot of trouble

Who doesn't want to spend little, do it quickly, and get great results? But this either does not happen, or happens as an exception. However, at first we began to look for the most inexpensive options. And quite expectedly found the following popular solutions:

• Liquid dry closet. It looks like a plastic box with a lid. It consists of two parts: a lower tank for collecting sewage and a toilet seat. A liquid preparation with live bacteria is poured into the tank, processing waste and turning it into an odorless liquid. It can be safely poured into compost or directly onto the beds. About the shortcomings later, but the advantages of this device clearly include mobility: you can build a house for a dry closet in the country and install it there, and take it into the house for the night or for the winter.

• Peat dry closet. It resembles a regular one and is installed permanently. But it is connected not to the water supply and sewerage, but to the ventilation duct, or exhaust pipe for odor removal is specially arranged. In the “tank”, instead of water, there is peat, which, when “flushed”, falls asleep with excrement, absorbs liquid and participates in the mineralization of waste, turning it into fertilizer. They are disposed of in compost heap or immediately poured out under bushes and trees. For such a toilet, you can also build a toilet house, but you can’t take it home. Therefore, it is better to immediately install it in place.

In addition to the simplicity and speed of installing a dry closet and its relative cheapness, the advantages also include the absence of problems with waste disposal: they are dumped into compost and will also serve as natural fertilizer for the beds.

But both of these options were categorically rejected for one simple reason: the need for frequent emptying of the storage tank. In the case of a liquid structure, this would have to be done almost every day, depending on the frequency of visiting the dacha.

Peat must be emptied less often, as it has more volume, but there is also little pleasant in this. Especially in winter.

Our comrades work at the airport, from there it is closer to the dacha than to the city apartment, so the dacha for them is a second home in which after work you want to relax, and not do not too pleasant things.

Nevertheless, dry closets deserve the attention of those who rarely visit a country house or live there only during the warm season.

Two difficult and long ways to get rid of the problem forever

You can buy a dry closet, bring it in, put it in place and use it right away, but you can constantly and regularly clean it. We needed an option that would allow us to completely forget about such a need and create “urban” conditions at the dacha.

Preferably with the possibility of installing a shower and a washing machine. Therefore, modern waterless devices have been swept aside without regret.

Everything is in order with the water supply: there is a well on the site with pumping station. You only need to solve the problem of sewage, and you can arrange a full-fledged bathroom in the house.

Again, we consider two standard methods:

• Shambo or cesspool without a bottom with liquid filtration into the ground. It's like ours. The walls of the well are made of concrete rings or brickwork, the bottom is covered with coarse gravel. To avoid calling vacuum cleaners, or at least do it once every few years, allows the use of all the same preparations with live bacteria once or twice a year. Since they turn everything into a liquid and clean the walls and bottom of the shambo well from silt deposits, you don’t have to worry about pumping out for a very long time.

• Septic. It consists of two tanks dug into the ground. The instruction for its device also provides for the use of chemical or biological decomposition of excrement and other solid waste in the first sealed container. From it, liquid effluents are poured through a pipe into a filter well, and from there they seep into the ground or are discharged into a gutter.

In both cases, all drains from plumbing fixtures are collected in the house at one point and discharged to the receiver through a sewer pipe that runs underground below its freezing level.

And again, both options do not suit us because small size an area where "food" grows everywhere. According to sanitary standards, the distance from the septic tank or cesspool to the water source should be at least 20 meters, and to plantings and fruit trees- 5 meters. The same number - to the border with the neighboring site. So in our case, it was impossible to withstand them.

A septic tank would be suitable, since waste in a sealed container cannot penetrate the soil in any way, but for its device it would be necessary to dig up the floor of the site, damaging trees and bushes, destroying the paths. So if you are just starting to build Vacation home and landscaping the area plan "amenities" right away, there will be less problems in the future.

And we had to "look for the fifth corner." That is, some other option, in which all the initial data and wishes of the owners of the cottage would be taken into account. And such a solution, which is a kind of mix of all the methods described, was found.

Need for invention is cunning

In the country, in addition to the home, you also definitely need an outdoor toilet so as not to drag dust and dirt into the room if it suddenly “itches” during digging, weeding or watering. Still looking for a place for him? No, please.

Having arranged a collective brainstorming session, we found a simple but very successful solution, and then all together with our own hands and implemented it. I will describe in order.

• Bought three meter concrete rings;
• They dug a hole with a depth of three and a few meters and a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the rings;
• Coarse gravel with a layer thickness of 15-20 cm was covered at the bottom of the pit and rings were installed without sealing the joints between them. Moreover, holes were made in the bottom;

• The space between the walls of the well and the ground was also covered with gravel;
• Dropped into a well plastic container by making only one small hole in the upper part of the wall;
• The sewer pipe was brought out of the house so that the drain from it was above a plastic container filled to the hole with water with a biological product with live bacteria dissolved in it;
• The well was covered with a concrete cover with two holes - large and small. And on it they installed an outdoor toilet with a country toilet exactly above the large hole. A small pipe with a lid was inserted into the small one to revise the liquid level in the well.

How it works? It's very simple: all human waste from the house and the street toilet goes straight into a container with an active liquid that decomposes and disinfects them.

So that the concentration of the solution remains working, and not yet “digested” feces do not overflow, and a hole is made through which only liquid can pour out. The distance from it to the upper edge allows you to make several descents from the toilet in a row or take a shower.

The recycled liquid pouring out of the inner container without solid inclusions enters the well and seeps into the lower layers of the soil through the bottom. Only in the spring, during the flood, the water rises by a maximum of half a meter (they checked it with a long rail through the revision pipe), but quickly finds a way out through the holes in the walls.

Of course concentration of active substances in plastic barrel needs to be maintained at the level otherwise the system will not work properly. This is also done very simply: a small amount of the biological product is periodically poured into the toilet and washed off. A one and a half liter bottle is enough for 1-3 months: in summer, with permanent residence, more is spent, in winter less.

Over the past two years, there have been no problems using the system. But if you suddenly need to pump out the liquid from a plastic container, you can do this through a wide and straight hole in the country toilet.

After all the work was completed, a pretty "corner of thought" appeared on the site, lined with flowers on three sides. And, what is nice, even in the heat there is no unpleasant smell in it - Bioclover works just fine. And even more so in the house.

And you don’t have to worry about soil contamination, don’t think about when it’s time to empty the tank or pump out the well. In any case, it hasn't happened yet.

In built in Soviet years private houses familiar to modern people there are no amenities: at best, cold water supply and sewerage are provided in the housing to discharge liquid effluents. Toilets with toilets are usually not there, like many other things. It is not difficult to install plumbing, but, unfortunately, in such buildings the project did not provide for either a bathroom or a bathroom, as well as the corresponding engineering communications.

Therefore, solving the problem of how to make a toilet in a private house of an old building can be quite problematic. It will be necessary not only to find a suitable place, but also to bring sewage, water to it and provide ventilation in the bathroom. As a rule, for ventilation, you can install a hood in the toilet in a private house, and this will be enough.

Choosing a place for a toilet in a private house

The ideal place for arranging the future toilet is considered to be a finished room like a small pantry. It is desirable that it be located closer to the drain well.

When the toilet seat is on the other side, the volume increases necessary work, respectively, and costs. As an option, you can consider arranging a combined bathroom in a small room, installing plumbing fixtures in it that will fit: a bath, a toilet, a washbasin, a shower stall, and so on.

Things are much more difficult when there is no suitable room. Then, to install the toilet, you should find a free corner. There is nothing wrong with the fact that such a place can only be in the kitchen. In this case, a home-made toilet is enclosed with a solid partition, and the entrance is made by cutting through it from an adjacent room, so unpleasant odors will not interfere. In this case, you can use materials such as chipboard, lining, drywall, etc. See also: "".

Soundproofing material is placed between the layers of the skin, and then the operation of the bathroom will not disturb the residents. The partition should be built after the completion of the laying of utilities, since plumbing work is difficult to carry out in a limited space.

Arrangement of sewerage in a private house

Depending on the option of transporting sewage and waste, sewage can be:

• pressure (forced);
• non-pressure (gravity).

The pressure structure uses a fecal pump to move the waste. As for the gravity drain, it occurs due to the slope of the pipes (more details: ""). If you have not yet decided how to make a toilet in a private house, you can use any option, depending on the circumstances.

Gravity sewer system

Efficient work a similar design can be ensured if the slope parameters are strictly observed - it must be constant and uniform throughout the entire length of the pipe. Most often, when installing a bathroom in a private house with their own hands, they allow the creation of a too steep slope. The fact is that the very fast movement of drains does not allow them to fill the pipe completely and for this reason the inner surface is poorly washed.

In the case when the slope is less than acceptable, the flow speed slows down and this moment is a big disadvantage (read: ""). It is necessary to ensure such a ratio between the filling of the pipe and the speed of sewage movement so that self-cleaning occurs during its operation. Otherwise, plaque will appear on the inner surface of the pipeline, preventing the discharge of effluents and contributing to the formation of blockages.

The use of this device leads to the fact that drain waste can move from bottom to top, despite the fact that the cross section of pipes decreases significantly. Fecal pumps designed for domestic needs are distinguished by their compact size, aesthetic appearance, the ability to pump liquid several meters in the vertical direction and tens of meters horizontally. On sale there are toilet bowls with the built-in pump.

Construction device

For laying sewerage in the house good choice are polypropylene pipes, which are durable, lightweight and able to withstand temperatures up to 95 degrees without deformation. The last advantage is useful when connecting to this site washing machine or someone will pour boiling water down the toilet.

Plastic sewerage is assembled easily, as if it were a children's designer. Installation starts from the lowest point, for which the next element is inserted into the socket of the previous part, but before that, plastic pipe sealant is applied to the end of the fitting or pipe, which is designed for such work.

This is necessary both to prevent leaks and to facilitate installation work. The fact is that with such a diameter of pipes, it is not easy to dock - it requires considerable effort. When the ends of the element are lubricated, work is much faster. When installing the sewerage, the use of right angle bends should be avoided, and a 90 ° turn can be performed using two 45 ° bends and thereby reduce the braking of fluid flows.

If you want to shorten a long piece of pipe, use a hacksaw. To fix the structure, they use stud clamps or clips (the latter products look more presentable).

Before each turn, at the bottom of the risers and at the place where the sewer exits the house, revisions should be made. If there is a need to combine a new plastic pipe with an old cast iron product, the connection is sealed with a special rubber cuff.

If there is a basement or a room under the toilet for which the interior matters, then the horizontal section of the pipe can be placed in them under the ceiling surface.

This solution has obvious advantages:

• there is no need to go around the corners, since the pipes will be laid in the shortest way, and this will save materials and time, which means money;
• sewer pipes will not occupy the space at the bottom of the room.

The elements that make up the pressure sewer are connected together by welding or using flanges. Depending on the characteristics of the fecal pump, the diameter of the pipes can vary between 20-40 millimeters. Laying can be done both from the outside, and under the floor or in a wall strobe.

How to make a sewer outside

The design of the toilet involves laying the outer part of the sewer in a trench, the depth of which depends on the climate in the region. Pipes at the same time use different ones - from asbestos, cement, cast iron, plastic and ceramics. The most popular are plastic products.

An external non-pressure sewer is equipped under a constant slope in the direction of the drain, equal to 2%. To do this, a sand cushion about 20 centimeters thick is poured into the bottom of the trench.

Toilet installation

1. Usually in own houses the floors are made of wood, so before you make a toilet in a private house, they should be leveled, strengthened and laid with linoleum. If the neck of the pipe is located above the outlet of the toilet bowl, it must be raised. The podium can be made from wide board or pieces of timber. If the installation is planned on a concrete floor (for example, on the basement floor), then brick and cement will be required.
2. Most often, the connection to the sewer can be made directly: a cuff with an o-ring is inserted into the pipe, and the toilet bowl outlet is inserted into it. In the case when this is not possible, a plastic eccentric or a corrugated cuff is used.
3. Connecting to a fecal pump will not cause difficulties, since the inlet on it is located on standard height, and everything that is necessary for docking is available.
4. After the toilet is installed in the place intended for it, and after making sure that it is securely docked with sewer pipe, mark the holes. Then the plumbing is removed to the side and the floor is drilled. A set of fasteners is usually included with the toilet. It consists of self-tapping screws, plastic dowels, washers and decorative caps.

   The toilet bowl is returned to the place prepared for it and it is checked how level it is using the building level. If necessary, the base is leveled by placing a solid object. After completion of the work, the resulting gap is filled with cement.

5. The plumbing fixture is fixed with self-tapping screws, placing soft washers under the caps.

The junction with the tube and cuff should be syringed using silicone sealant. Do the same with the base of the toilet bowl so that water does not flow under its bottom. Now it remains only to connect the water to the drain tank. As a rule, a coaxial hose is used for connection, placing a tap in front of it.

As a result, a well-maintained bathroom will certainly improve the quality of life of the household.

The first building that appears on any lot is the toilet. We can somehow do without a house and a soul, but without this building - in any way. For many, a do-it-yourself toilet for a summer residence is the first building experience. It’s good that the structure is uncomplicated, so even without experience it’s easy to handle.

The very first building in the country is a toilet. Often this is the first experience of building with your own hands.

Although the country toilet is not the most complex building, there are many features. A clear action plan is indispensable. Let's write down the steps on how to build a toilet in the country:

1. Choose the type of toilet.
2. Determine the location on the construction site.
3. Decide on the size and materials for construction.
4. Start building.

Now about each point in more detail.

Without cesspool

For the most part, pitless toilets are built much easier and faster. In them, waste is collected in a sealed container, which is usually placed directly under the toilet seat. The difference lies in how the waste is recycled and the odor is neutralized. There are the following types:

Pros country toilets without a cesspool (also called dry) essential:

The cons are big too:

• Factory-made toilets are not that cheap.
• It is necessary to change the container periodically.
• It is necessary to monitor the availability of means of neutralization.

Norms for installing a toilet on the site

Most of the restrictions apply to pit latrines: possible contamination must be limited. The rules are:

The rest of the rules are valid for all types of toilets:

• There must be at least 1 meter to the boundary of the site.
• Doors should not open towards the adjacent area.
• When choosing a location, the prevailing wind direction must be taken into account.

When choosing a place where you will build a toilet for a summer cottage with your own hands, pay attention not only to your own buildings and objects, but also to your neighbors. This will help to avoid friction with them and with the sanitation station.

If you are going to build a toilet with a cesspool, you must also add to all the listed requirements - the organization of an entrance for a sewage truck.

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

You have already gone through the first two steps: you have chosen the type of toilet and the place to install it. The next step is choosing the dimensions. It's not that hard to figure them out. They told how to choose the volume of the cesspool - 1.5 cubic meters is enough for 2-3 people, now about what size the toilet house should be. It all depends on your own desire and on the dimensions of the owners. In the standard version, toilets are made in the following sizes:

• height - 220 cm;
• width - 150 cm;
• depth - 100 cm.

These dimensions are convenient for people with an average build. You can change them the way you like. There are no standards.

Houses for toilets are most often made of wood. But this is not the rule. He may be from sheet material type fiberboard, GVL, from flat slate, brick and any other building materials, profiled sheet metal, even plastic.

A toilet in the country with their own hands is built from any material. This one is made of corrugated board

Most lovely roofing material for a country toilet - slate. The device is inexpensive soft roof from deposited materials. In general, you can use any available. It is attached to a solid crate, so there is not much difference.

Building a village toilet

The last stage is the actual construction. The procedure is determined by what type of toilet you will build. If with a cesspool, they make it first.

Cesspool for toilet

The procedure for construction is as follows:

In order not to mess with masonry and waterproofing, you can install a special plastic container - a septic tank. They come in different sizes and designs - with one or two necks.

Septic tanks in the cesspool of the country toilet - and no problems with waterproofing

The pit is dug a little larger than the size of the selected septic tank, the container is installed, covered with previously excavated soil. The device of such a cesspool is many times faster and more reliable.

Cabin for country toilet

Any toilet for a summer residence is installed in a small cabin-house. With your own hands, the easiest way is to make a rectangular structure with shed roof: minimum time, costs and materials.

Cabin base - posts

First of all, you need to take care of the presence of the floor. It needs to be raised some distance above the ground. It is more convenient to do this with the help of columns folded in the corners of the building. It is hardly worth burying them to the depth of freezing of the soil, but it is necessary to bury them in the soil 20-30 cm below the fertile layer. They are usually built from bricks, rubble stone, they can be poured from concrete, etc. On such a basis, during heaving, the cabin will rise, but usually this does not lead to any serious damage: the structure is small.

As it turned out, it’s not so difficult to build a toilet for a summer residence with your own hands. Little time and cost is required. But in the process you will gain useful skills.

In any territory with a residential private building, it is necessary to equip an outdoor bathroom. Minimum distance from the house to the toilet must comply with the norms and requirements of SNiP. It is necessary to follow the rules even if the owner of the house or cottage rarely visits his site. To lay a full-fledged sewer, you need to spend a lot of money, and the construction of a free-standing toilet structure will not require significant costs.

Location on

building plan requirements

The correct placement of an outdoor toilet must comply with the established norms of SNiP 30-02-97 as amended in 2018, SP 53.13330.2011 and SanPiN. It is necessary to develop a layout of the future structure on the site not only taking into account the location of the house, but also the following objects:

• outbuildings;
• wells;
• pipelines;
• fences;
• buildings and structures in the neighborhood.

When choosing the location of a latrine structure on the street, one should pay attention to the features of the landscape and topography of the site, as well as the level of groundwater in the soil.

The storage tank must be located at a distance of at least 3 m from the level of groundwater runoff.

The correct location of the structure should provide free access for the sewers to the drain device. This will allow you to drive up to the system on specialized equipment in order to pump out all the sewage using drainage pump. should be 50 m, and - 5 m.

Lavatory at the neighbor's cottage

Choice of accommodation

Ease of use can be ensured only with the correct placement of the structure. The distance from the toilet to the apartment building of the neighbors must clearly comply with the standards. It is necessary to draw up a construction plan taking into account the sanitary and hygienic requirements for such structures. They are regulated by the normative document SanPiN 42-128-4690-88.
