Most often, the design of a “place for reflection” is shelved. Usually this is a simple and unpretentious design (it’s good that it doesn’t get blown away by a gust of wind), consisting of wooden house and a 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 and what technical solutions will be able to 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, cabin, booth, with or without fences, with or without cesspools. With certain carpentry and plumbing skills, building a comfortable bathroom in your dacha will not be difficult. Moreover, modern technologies make it possible to create a toilet without constructing a cesspool. How? Let's consider the options.
Advice! If your house is equipped with a water supply network and sewerage system, then the easiest option is to build a so-called “water closet”. The entire drainage system is installed inside the house, and the toilet itself is installed outside, which will free up space in the country house and get rid of foreign odors.
The water closet can only be used during the warm season. In winter, the water in the tank will simply freeze Peat toilet: an option for everyone
An interesting type of toilet where waste must be covered with peat. For this purpose, a container with peat mass is specially installed next to the tank.
Important! It is advisable to connect ventilation to the toilet.
Such toilets have recently become increasingly popular: models such as Ekomatic, Piteco, Biolan are already familiar to most “advanced” summer residents. The liquid part is simply drained into a special tank, which must be emptied.

Powder-closet: the fastest in speed of assembly and installation
The powder closet can be installed in any corner or area. There is no need to dig a cesspool for it; just use a simple bucket or other container.
The entire structure also consists of a toilet seat where the toilet stand is installed For repeated use, the waste is sprinkled with ordinary wood shavings. The finished structures are equipped with a special mechanism for sprinkling.
Advice! Typically, this design is used in areas where, due to the level groundwater It is impossible to dig a full-fledged cesspool. However, if you want to use the powder closet not on outdoors, and in a room or closed perimeter, it is better to provide a ventilation system.
Dry toilet: 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 a dry closet is simple. The sewage is pumped into a special container where chemical substances, which work on the principle treatment facilities.
The containers require cleaning, so you will have to “splurge” on periodic maintenance of the dry closet.
Country bucket toilet: simple and cheap
An even simpler option country closet. One of the most accessible and inexpensive. It works on the principle of a night vase, just a little larger 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, very often it is difficult for older people to get to the bathroom on their own due to their age. Country toilet-a bucket can be an excellent replacement for an outdoor toilet during the cold season.
Chemical toilet: an interesting odorless toilet option
Variation of the bucket toilet. However, in this case, the waste cannot be used as a waste product, since it has already reacted with chemicals and can be dangerous for feeding plants.
Toilet in the country with a cesspool: a classic of country life
A classic country bathroom is an outdoor toilet with a dug cesspool. What designs craftsmen come up with to turn a classic latrine into an interesting decorative element!
There are two types:
- Option 1. Non-portable cesspool: a waste pit is built with a concrete base and equipped with filters so that the waste does not disturb the ecosystem of the site.
- Option 2. Cesspool with a portable house. After filling one hole, it is preserved, pumped with special substances for rotting, and covered metal sheets. And the house is moved 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 requires installation, but without the usual sewage system.
The advantages of such a toilet are that at first glance they are no different from a regular one. All odors are tightly hidden inside the container.
Important! The cesspool from the toilet towards the general storage tank 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 expanded version of the water closet, the only difference is that it is equipped not only with a toilet, but also with a shower, possibly or a washbasin. This is a full-fledged open-air.
Which toilet is better to choose for a summer house: with or without a cesspool?
Of course, everything depends on financial capabilities. Sometimes the option with a cesspool will be ideal, in some cases you can get by with a bucket.
As we have already said, a cesspool is not suitable for every summer cottage. In this case, you can use other alternative ways and solutions.
Types of toilet models for country toilets
Do not place it in an outdoor toilet under any circumstances. The fact is that under the weight of the entire structure, taking into account the weight of a person wooden base the toilet may not hold up. This is why it is better to use a porcelain and plastic toilet. Before choosing a toilet, think about whether a simpler option for a country house building will suit you. require mandatory connection to water supply systems and drainage structures.
Provide pipe branches from all water points in advance. For example, a water closet provides for the drainage of sewage into a septic tank or cesspool.
Advice! A homemade tank requires mandatory sealing of joints, usually this 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 using a sewer truck.
Plastic and ceramic toilet
The most versatile toilet of all is plastic. It is quite light, but at the same time durable. You can cut the bottom in yourself if you need to install it directly above the septic tank. They are also easy to wash, there are the most different variants colors and shapes.
Ceramic toilets are a little more expensive, but they also look more solid. Domestic models cost on average about 2,000 thousand rubles.
Which is better to buy a country toilet for an outdoor toilet?
- There must be fastenings 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 you use to eliminate odor in a country toilet with a cesspool?
In almost every version of a country toilet it is necessary to arrange a forced toilet, perhaps except for chemical ones. That is why it is better to take care of this at the stage of planning the closet.
If the ventilation pipe was not initially provided, then you can install it yourself. To do this, use a regular one or a piece metal pipe, it is important to strengthen it in the cesspool. And bring the second 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! Into the cesspool peat toilets Under no circumstances should you add bleach! It will kill all the necessary bacteria that are working hard to break down the waste.
bioactivator biosept
They are quite simple to use: the product must be diluted in water according to the instructions, poured into a cesspool, and then the bacteria will 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 house in accordance with regulations
When choosing the location of a country toilet, it is important to consider many factors. This is, first of all, the proximity to natural water sources and wells. Sanitary buildings should be located no closer than 25 meters to water source.
If the terrain of the site is complex, then it is best to place the cesspool in a lowland rather than on a hill, otherwise the runoff may spread into the soil of the entire site.
Install the toilet away from residential buildings, including neighbors, as a gust of wind can carry an unpleasant “aroma” out the window to your neighbors.
Advice! If you plan to use a sewer truck to clean the wastewater, place the cesspool closer to the entrance
If on your site high level, any manipulations with digging cesspools are extremely contraindicated. Otherwise, you risk destroying the harvest and spoiling it. In this case, the only solution may be a sealed storage container.
Country toilet projects - drawings with dimensions and photos
We propose to study the most interesting, in our opinion, drawings of country plumbing buildings, the implementation of which will not be difficult.
Dacha communities and plots:
- the distance between the toilet and a well or well (or other source of water), including neighbors, must be at least 25 m, and the toilet must be lower than the water source,
- the distance from the toilet to a residential building or cellar, including neighboring ones, must be at least 12 m,
- the distance from the toilet to the shower or bathhouse is at least 8 m, including neighboring ones,
- the distance from the building for keeping livestock or poultry to the toilet is at least 4 m,
- the distance from the toilet to the fence is at least 1 m. If the slope of the toilet roof protrudes more than 50 cm, then it is necessary to measure from the projection of the slope to the ground. The roof slope must be oriented so that the drain goes to your own, and not to your neighbor's, site.
And, of course, you need to take into account the wind rose specifically for your area.
Country toilet dimensions
It is better, of course, to build a toilet according to individual dimensions, as advised Savarabi: “Prefabricated toilets have one problem. Either they save wood, or they do everything according to the same drawing. But they have a very short distance from the door to the ledge with the toilet seat. And if a person is not very thin, then at least wear pants on the street. Pay attention to this. Friends of ours bought them from us, and two of them have already remodeled them. And we spotted this problem from them and built the toilet ourselves.”

Options for "double" toilets
For big family options for building double toilets will come in handy. It is also possible to place a utility storage room behind the second door.
Photo FiFi:“And we have this toilet + storage room. There is light inside. And it lights up all evening. There are fluorescent lamps under the roof. This is “Jack of all trades”, Ordynka, 111 km. It cost 17,000 rubles.”

We built it together with my husband - he doesn’t like to work alone, so we do all the buildings at the dacha together - the house, the bathhouse, and the gazebo. It was decided to make the toilet spacious - 1.5 by 1.5 m. The husband came up with the idea of not just painting it with impregnation, but first burning it with a burner so that the structure of the wood could be seen. And this is what happened.”

And finally, the most unusual toilet I have ever seen is demonstrated by the winner of the 2016 country latrine competition Alyona.
Photo Alyona: “I’ll show you the latrine that my dad built. A simple rustic toilet, without modern conveniences, a sink or lighting, but still unusual. Dad doesn't like carpentry, but he likes tile mosaics and Painting works. After collecting bottles and tiling the house and bathhouse, it was time for the toilet. This is what happened. In July and August, the toilet is overshadowed by a flower bed.”
Photo by Alyona: “A couple of years after construction I decided to paint it, this is how it is now. I came up with the whole design myself, adjusting bottles and placing planks along the way. During daylight hours there is wonderful lighting inside through the bottles.”
Photo Alyona:“To prevent the technological shelves from disappearing, I put various broken broken bottles and ceramics there. The toilet seat was made from what was there - a broken chair, a leaky saucepan. This is how the “observatory” turned out.
How to overcome the smell in a country toilet
E. Kuuz: “Biola liquid, sold at Zhurinskaya, 37, Ecoservice-Novosibirsk LLC.” Well, a very good thing, verified! And everything will be clean and fresh.”
ElenaVit:“We live in the country all the time, and this season we used Biola. Girls, well, once every 2 weeks I poured it in so that there was no smell. But the contents of the pit, in my opinion, have not disappeared anywhere.”
Antonich: “Last year we bought this Biola, the characteristics are really too exaggerated. Both regarding the smell and the reduction in contents. I came to the conclusion that you can get rid of the contents only by calling a sewer service. As a result, I bought 10 bottles of ordinary white, and from time to time I poured out the bottle, the smell repels, repels flies and other living creatures and costs a penny. I wish I could get bleach somewhere else.”
bagheera123: “Take a bottle of simple Whiteness or dilute Chlorine tablets, pour it all into the hole, and top it with ash from the bathhouse. Believe me, no smell, no flies, keep the doors tight for 20 minutes. Then ventilate. Well, you can safely visit this establishment for ten days. After 10 days, repeat the procedure. Do not dilute the whiteness with anything. I empty the ash pan full of ash, but not in a lump, but spread it out with a spatula. And I spray whiteness in all directions.”
V.V.V.:“We’ve been using Sanex for probably 2 years. The toilet was new, and we started using it right away. It seems to help."
*Mashuk*:“I’ve been using Sanex for 10 years now. Both myself and my parents have used it for the country toilet. And now in a private house we use it for a septic tank. Suppresses odors, eliminates flies and reduces waste levels. We've been pouring everything into the septic tank for 6 years - the car hasn't been called out even once, we've been pouring everything into the septic tank - both from the kitchen and from washing machine. It’s a cool drug and, in general, budget-friendly.”
bagheera123: “I bought Biodar. I like it. True, it wasn’t hot yet. And so - I diluted it, poured it in, and so far there are no smells.”
marsal:“I bought Biodar in Kolorlon in Berdsk, there are a lot of things there for caring for toilets, septic tanks and dry closets. And last year I covered Bref at the dacha, there were no flies, and there was no smell all summer. Although the toilet is new, it was installed only last spring, but at first the flies prevailed, and after Brefa they disappeared.”
How creatively many have approached such a boring structure! Our toilet is modest in appearance. And you already need to pour something in there to remove the smell that appeared after 3 years of use. My mother throws tomato butts into hers and the smell disappears for a long time.
In the Altai mountains they fill them with shavings because there are no holes as such. I’ll try some kind of bio product, let’s see what happens
It is unlikely that anyone will argue with the fact that a toilet in a country house is much more convenient than one located on the street.
But is it possible to organize it in the absence of a centralized sewerage system?
It turns out yes, and not only sewerage, but also water supply is not necessary. This article talks about ways to solve this problem.
So, we want to install a toilet in a country house. This can be done in one of two ways:
Traditional options
The idea is simple: install a toilet in the house and run a pipe from it to a cesspool located 5 m from the house. In order for waste to fall into the pit, it must be washed off with water. Hence the conclusions:
- This option is suitable for houses equipped with running water.
- Due to the large volume of wastewater, instead of a cesspool, which will fill quickly, it is better to use a septic tank.
Traditional country toilet
In the latter case, most of the water can be filtered and made suitable for discharge into the ground.
Innovative solutions
If there is no running water in the house or it is rarely visited, you can install one of the types of dry closet. What is common to such designs is that waste accumulates in a sealed container located directly under the toilet, where it is processed in a certain way.
Modern electric dry closet
As the container is filled, it is emptied, and the waste as a result of processing usually does not have a pronounced unpleasant odor.
Depending on the method of processing feces, dry toilets are divided into the following types:
Composting
There are two subspecies:
- Powder closets. Each time after visiting the toilet, the waste is sprinkled (“powdered”) with a portion of peat, ash or sawdust. This powder, firstly, blocks the spread of an unpleasant odor, and secondly, it prevents the flow of oxygen to feces. In an oxygen-free environment, specific biochemical processes occur, upon completion of which waste is converted into compost, suitable for use as fertilizer.
- Drying dry toilets. A compressor forces air through the waste collection chamber (thrown out through an exhaust pipe connected to it), as a result of which its contents are completely dry. This also causes feces to turn into fertilizer.
simplest peat dry closet from a plywood box and a plastic bucket
Separation
Processing consists of separating solid and liquid fractions, after which the liquid is filtered. Once the storage container is full, the solids are removed for composting.
Thermal
The waste is burned with a powerful electric heater (from 5 kW) to ash. The water evaporates and is removed through the exhaust pipe.
Cryogenic
The opposite solution: the waste is frozen, which leads to the death of microbes and neutralizes the odor.
Many people associate the country toilet with discomfort. However, making a comfortable option is quite simple. – consider the types of designs and their advantages.
Comparison different types you can look at country dry toilets.
Which dry toilet to choose for your dacha and where to buy it? Read the answers to these questions.
Toilet arrangement
Everything is clear with a dry toilet - you just need to purchase and install it. With a classic type toilet you will have to tinker. The creation process is divided into two stages:
- Selecting a waste collection site.
- Bathroom equipment.
Monolithic concrete cesspool
Wastewater collection point
The simplest option is to build a cesspool. You can go this route if the dacha is visited relatively rarely, otherwise you will have to call a sewer truck too often to remove accumulated waste.
Simply digging a hole is not enough - you need to form a sealed container in it to prevent contamination of the soil by runoff.
Here's how the construction works:
- On an area of 2 - 3 sq. m, a pit is dug 2.5 m deep. Please note that it must be located in a lowland, at least 5 m from the house and at least 25 m from the well or well.
- The bottom is covered with 3 layers of plastic film.
- A layer of compacted clay 20 cm thick is laid on top of the film.
- The clay is poured with concrete 10 cm thick.
- The walls can be covered with boards, but such covering will only last for 10 years. A more durable option is to line the pit with ceramic bricks (silicate bricks cannot be used!), which will last for about 20 - 25 years.
- The pit is covered concrete slab with a hatch or thick boards on which you can lay cut fertile soil.
More labor intensive, but also more practical solution- build a septic tank. This is a structure of 2 or 3 chambers, the last of which is a drainage well (instead of a concrete bottom there is a gravel filter), and the rest are sealed. Overflow pipes are installed between the chambers at a certain height.
An example of a plastic septic tank
The idea is as follows: each of the sealed chambers plays the role of a sump: heavy fractions settle down, light fractions float up, and relatively clean water flows through the overflow pipe (it starts with an elbow turned downward) into the next container.
If it is also sealed, the 2nd stage of settling occurs, after which even more clarified water, again through an overflow pipe, enters the 3rd chamber, from which it drains into the ground through a gravel filter. Thus, only the waste itself remains in the sedimentation tanks, which is why they have to be pumped out much less frequently than a cesspool.
The walls of the chambers and the partitions between them can be lined with ceramic bricks; the chambers can also be assembled from concrete rings.
If funds allow, you can purchase a modern plastic septic tank, which, at the customer’s request, can be equipped with a disinfection system and other options.
Bathroom equipment
For a bathroom in the house you need to either allocate an area near outer wall from the side of the cesspool, or build an extension of the toilet and shower to the country house.
If there is only a toilet here, the area of the room should be at least 1.5 square meters. m. If there is also a washbasin, that is, a combined bathroom, then the allocated area should be at least 3.8 square meters. m.
Toilet in the form of an extension
If you are not yet ready to shell out money for an extension, the room inside the house should be fenced off with partitions. Most affordable option- plasterboard partitions: a frame is erected from metal profiles, which is sheathed on both sides with plasterboard sheets. You can put mineral wool into the frame, protecting it with a vapor barrier - due to its soft structure, it retains sound well.
If the owner is ready to spend money on a more solid option, the partition should be made of brick.
Laying brick partitions
The finishing used inside the bathroom must be moisture resistant and have smooth surface so that it can be washed . If ceramic tile not satisfied because of the high cost, you can use very affordable alternative- plastic panels. They can be fixed directly to the frame; no drywall is needed.
The toilet is installed so that the sewer bed between it and the lowering into the underground has a length of no more than 1 m.
The bottom of the vertical section (dip) should reach the soil freezing depth characteristic of the given region.
If the foundation under the house is strip, it is necessary to drill an opening through which the pipe will come out.
Of course, it is better to provide a toilet at the stage of building a house - then the opening can be easily made during the pouring of the foundation, having first placed a piece of pipe in the formwork.
The outer part of the pipe is laid in a trench with a slope of 3 cm/m.
A sand cushion is placed under the pipe, and on top it is first covered with a small layer of expanded clay and only then with soil.

A warm toilet and sewerage system in a village house is the dream of every summer resident. And this is quite understandable: if a person has ever run out in the rain into a wooden structure standing near a fence, then he will definitely appreciate the benefits of a bathroom located in the house itself.
In principle, arranging a toilet is not one of the most difficult tasks. Having studied specialized literature and developed a suitable project, it is quite possible to implement it yourself. Of course, you will have to work hard, but you can definitely do it in one season.
Circuit diagrams: 2 options
At one time, thinking about how to build warm toilet in a private house, I analyzed several projects for such structures. By by and large, they all boiled down to implementing one of two options:
From a comfort point of view, no The best decision
- We make a classic bathroom with water supply, toilet and removal Wastewater through a pipeline to a storage tank - a cesspool or. A variation of this option is to connect the waste circuit to a centralized sewerage system, but in the private sector where my house was located, there was no such benefit of civilization.
- We arrange separate room , in which we install a dry closet. In principle, for the functioning of such a system there is no need to lay a water supply: it is enough to install a small washbasin for carrying out hygienic procedures, and collect the waste water (there will be very little of it) in a container and pour it into a cesspool on the street.
By and large, the choice between these two options depends on the availability of a water supply system: if there is a water supply system, or we plan to have one, then the design includes a scheme with a toilet and a drain through a sewer pipe. But for a small country house, in which we do not spend much time, a dry closet would be a completely acceptable solution.
Since in my case the water supply was available, I chose a scheme with a septic tank. However, I also analyzed the options with a cesspool and dry closet in sufficient detail, so in the descriptions I will pay attention to the features of their implementation.
Place for waste
cesspool
Before doing wooden house comfortable bathroom, we need to make sure that we have somewhere to remove the drains. There are two solutions here - one is simpler, the second is more convenient to use.
A simple solution is to install a cesspool - a reservoir in which wastewater accumulates until it is pumped out by a sewage treatment plant. It is worth making a cesspool if country house you use it relatively infrequently: the smaller the volume of wastewater, the less often you will have to pump it out, therefore, the lower the financial costs.
Making a cesspool is extremely simple:
- We choose a place in a lowland, at a distance of at least 5 m from the wall of the house and at least 12 - 15 m from the water intake points (well or borehole).
- We remove the fertile soil layer to a depth of approximately 0.5 m and an area of about 3-5 m2. The removed soil can be used in the garden beds, or it can be returned to its place by covering the pit lid with turf.
- We dig a pit up to 2.5 m deep and an area of 2-3 m2.
- To avoid contamination of the soil and groundwater with fecal matter, we seal the bottom of the pit. I would use a 20 cm thick layer of clay laid on three layers of plastic film.
If finances allow, or you want to achieve maximum reliability, then about 10 cm of concrete can be poured on top of the clay.
- The option with earthen walls is quite viable, but short-lived. To secure the structure, it is better to use a lathing made of tightly fitted boards (lasts up to 10 years). Well, if possible, make a box from old ceramic bricks: according to experts, such a pit will definitely last for 20-25 years.
- From above, the structure is covered with either thick boards or concrete slabs. A hole must be made in the ceiling for a hatch through which pumping will be carried out.
Septic tank
The obvious disadvantage of a cesspool is its inevitable overflow. To avoid the need for frequent pumping, I installed a two-chamber septic tank on my country property.
The instructions for making a septic tank may differ depending on its configuration, but since I had the task of implementing the maximum economical option, I did this:
- First, at a distance from the house and from the well with an installed pump, a pit was dug 2.5 m deep, 3 m long and 1.5 m wide. Since the volume of excavated soil was impressive, I had to involve two assistants in the work, otherwise the work would have been delayed.
- Then two adjacent chambers were built from ceramic bricks inside the pit. In this case, the first chamber was folded “solidly”, and holes were made in the lower part of the second chamber in the masonry.
Under no circumstances should you use sand-lime brick, which cannot withstand prolonged contact with a liquid, especially one as aggressive as sewage. An alternative ceramic brick can become monolithic concrete chambers, concrete rings for sewer wells and even tires from heavy trucks.
The ideal option is to generally buy a plastic container for the septic tank, but here I was stopped by the rather high price.
- The bottom of the first chamber - the settling tank - was covered with a 15 cm layer of clay, after which I concreted it for maximum tightness.
- In the bottom of the second chamber - the filtration well - I used an old auger ice drill to make about a dozen holes 0.5 m deep to improve drainage. Coarse gravel was poured into the holes, and the same gravel was laid on the bottom in a layer of about half a meter.
- An overflow tube was installed between the chambers at a height of approximately 1.7 m from the bottom.
- In the sump, at a distance of 50 cm from the ground level, I made a hole for installing a drain pipe.
- From above, the entire structure was covered with a concrete slab with holes for two hatches. Separately, it was necessary to drill a groove in the concrete to install a 1.5 m high pipe.
The advantage of this solution, despite its labor intensity, was the long time battery life: the wastewater, entering the settling tank, is divided into fractions, while the clarified liquid is poured into the second chamber, where it is gradually filtered into the ground.
Since I add special bacterial cultures to the septic tank and use country sewerage not so often, then pumping has to be done every three years. And to be honest, this is for preventive purposes - according to my estimates, the system can operate for another couple of years without compromising the quality of cleaning.
Pipe laying for home
Installing a sewer system in general and a toilet in particular in a private house involves transporting wastewater to cesspool/septic tank/collector. To do this we need to lay an underground pipe:
- From the house to the tank we dig a trench at least 70 cm deep. The deeper the pipe is located, the less risk that winter time its contents will freeze.
- We make the bottom of the trench with a slope of about 2.5 - 3 cm per 1 m.
- We place sand bedding under the pipes. Optimal thickness bedding - 10-15 cm.
- We lay pipes (we use only products for external use) and carefully seal all joints.
In my case, the pipe ran in a straight line, but if you need to make a turn or lay a pipeline longer than 15 m, then it is mandatory to install at least one inspection well. I was convinced of the usefulness of such a structure when I had to help clear a sewer in a neighboring area: it is much easier to remove a blockage if there is access to the problem point of the pipe.
- We insulate the pipes using mineral wool or fiberglass, then fill it with soil and compact it thoroughly.
- We pass the pipe outlet into the hole that we left in the wall of the cesspool or septic tank.
- At the entrance to the house, we insert the pipe into the hole in the base and connect it to the internal riser.
Toilet in a country house
Arrangement of the premises
When making a toilet in a wooden house with our own hands, we often encounter constant humidity in the chosen room. You can solve the problem if you approach it as responsibly as possible:
- We select the room itself in such a way that it is located near the outer wall of the house, as close as possible to the cesspool. This way we will save on pipes, and we won’t have to run communications between rooms.
- If a bathroom was not included in the design of a country house initially, at the first stage we make a partition, separating it from other rooms with a frame wall covered with plywood or OSB. To make the toilet really warm, we put thermal insulation material inside the frame.
- We install a door that separates the bathroom with all its sounds and smells from other rooms. To ensure air flow, there must be a gap of at least 5 mm between the bottom edge of the door and the threshold.
- We make holes in the walls and floor through which we enter the room. water pipes and a sewer pipe. We attach adapters/taps to the walls to connect the toilet and washbasin.
- We either leave the floor wooden, covering it with several layers waterproofing composition with an antiseptic, or covered with ceramic tiles.
- We also protect the walls from moisture by treating them with waterproofing or sheathing plastic panels. In the second case, you can carry out additional insulation, laying polystyrene foam, mineral wool or foil-coated polymer fabric under the sheathing frame.
- We must make a ventilation hole under the ceiling. You can get by with a simple air vent, but I preferred to install a simple electric fan, and switched its power to a separate switch - this made forced ventilation of the bathroom much more convenient.
Option with toilet
As I noted above, it is best to make an ordinary toilet in a private house with a classic toilet and sink. Installing equipment in a room with connected communications is a fairly simple task:
- First we fix the toilet. To do this, we fix a thick board impregnated with a moisture-proof compound to the floor (wooden or tiled) with anchors. We place the toilet base on the board and secure it with the included fasteners.
- We connect the toilet flush to the outlet coming out of the floor or wall sewer pipe using a rubber cuff. To seal this unit we use plumbing silicone.
- We install a tank on the base of the toilet, to which we attach a hose for supplying water from the water supply. Connect the other end of the hose to the tap at the end of the water pipe.
- We hang the sink on the wall in the selected location. We connect the drain elbow of the sink to a pipe, which is then connected to the general sewer circuit.
- We install a faucet either on the sink or on the wall above it. We screw hoses with hot (from the boiler) and cold water to the mixer outlets.
The entire system we have created will only work effectively if both the toilet and sink are located above the drain level. Otherwise, and also if you plan to use the sewer very actively, I would recommend additionally installing in the system sewage pump, which will ensure forced removal of wastewater.
Option with dry toilet
It is also possible to make a comfortable toilet in the country without a cesspool and internal water supply. Naturally, a room will also have to be equipped for this, but direct waste disposal will be carried out using biological treatment systems.
Today, there are several types of dry toilets suitable for use in private homes:
| Device type | Description |
| Compost | Systems with partial waste disposal operate either on peat or on a mixture of peat and sawdust. When interacting with fecal matter, the material is effectively composted, and the next portions are poured into the container using an auto-dispenser. Full recycling systems work on a similar principle, but composting is performed more efficiently, and at the end we additionally receive a fairly effective fertilizer. |
| Separation | During the waste disposal process, wastewater is separated into liquid and solid fractions: solid faeces are then removed for composting, and the liquid is filtered in a special unit. |
| Thermal | The system requires about 5 kW of power to operate, so the toilet can only be installed in houses with a good power supply. During disposal, waste is burned to ash, and moisture evaporates through a special condenser. |
| Cryogenic | Fecal matter entering the dry closet is frozen, which allows you to destroy almost all microorganisms and get rid of the unpleasant odor. The downside is that the operation of the system depends on the presence of voltage in the network, so I would not recommend such a device for a private home. |
Even if you limit yourself to the simplest models that work on peat, you can provide yourself with a fairly high level of comfort. However, this system is unlikely to compare with a full-fledged toilet, so I would still advise considering the possibility of creating a full-fledged wastewater removal system - albeit based on a simple cesspool.
Budgeting references
When starting work, you need to draw up an estimate that takes into account all costs. Doing basic operations yourself allows you to significantly optimize your budget, but you will still have to buy materials. A table containing estimated prices will help you at this stage.
Using the information provided in it, you can predict at least the order of the amount you will need.
| Material | Unit/capacity | Estimated cost, rubles |
| Sewer pipe for external works 110 mm | 1 linear m | 125 — 200 |
| Sewer pipe for interior work 50 mm | 1 linear m | 75 — 150 |
| Metal-plastic water pipe 16 mm | 1 linear m | 70 — 120 |
| Storage container for septic tank | 1 m3 | 18000 |
| Septic tank TANK-1 | 1.2 m3 | 19500 — 22000 |
| Waterproofing impregnation for wood | 10 l | 800 — 1500 |
| Penetrating primer with antiseptic | 5 l | 250 — 500 |
| Waterproofing mastic | 5 kg | 1200 — 1700 |
| Tile adhesive CM 9 | 25 kg | 220 — 400 |
| Grout for tiles | 5 kg | 600 – 1200 |
| Budget tiles | m2 | 45 — 90 |
| Mid-level tiles | m2 | 250 -500 |
| PVC lining for wall cladding | m2 | 150 -250 |
| Wooden beam for frame | Panel 6 m | 80 — 200 |
| Galvanized steel profile | Panel 3 m | 150 — 350 |

| Dry toilet Thetford Porta Potti Qube 145 | PC. | 4000 — 4500 |
| Dry Biolan toilet(separation) | PC. | 26500 and above. |
Naturally, only some expense items are taken into account here. To complete the project you will need many more materials, including various solutions, sealants, fasteners, fittings, plumbing fittings, etc.
Conclusion
As practice shows, it is possible to make a warm toilet in a village house with your own hands. Of course, this is not a quick task, and it will require financial investments, but if you follow the advice I have given, and also carefully study the video in this article, then everything should work out.
In addition, questions that arise during the design process can be asked in the comments - I will answer you in the most detailed way.
A toilet is the first structure that a land owner builds.
If at first you can somehow get by without a house by building summer kitchen, then the septic tank cannot be classified as a secondary structure.
For many summer residents, it is with its installation that the acquisition of construction experience begins.
How to build a country toilet? If you want to create a building that has original design, it is necessary to determine the dimensions of the building. You can take a standard drawing and develop a project that suits you based on your individual needs. 
Approximate plan of construction and design work looks like that:
- Start with creating a frame, put the dimensions of the building on the drawing. Calculate the amount of materials required for its construction. On the plan, indicate the cross-section of the wooden beams and the dimensions of the boards.
- Be sure to show in the drawing how it will be cut facing material . The diagram must have a calculation for one side wall of the building, as well as for its front and rear walls. Don't forget to add building materials for the other side wall. Optimal toilet width 1.2 m, height - 2 m.
- If you want to expand the building, make adjustments into the drawing. The front wall, like the back one, is made rectangular. The side ones are trapezoidal, this allows you to achieve the desired roof slope. It is necessary to cut a window in one of the walls of the building, through which light will penetrate into the toilet in the country house. In addition, a window is necessary for ventilation of the room.
- Floor covering made from thick boards 50 mm, then the village toilet is sheathed with OSB sheet. The boards are installed on a timber base; nails are used to connect the parts of the structure. In order to increase the strength of the building, all elements are connected into a groove. Its depth must be at least 50 mm.
- Make a door. Practice shows that optimal sizes 1.95x70.5 cm. You can make toilets for your dacha from edged boards; construction is often carried out from OSB boards. When erecting the roof, lay the rafters, there should be a pitch of 40 cm between them. To make them, buy boards 100x50 mm. Nail them to the frame; the connection is made using nails. You can cover the toilet roof with slate or profiled sheets.
Maintain proportions. Remember that the increase standard size will entail additional costs for the purchase of building materials.
The standard drawing can be taken as the basis for a wooden toilet. If desired, country toilets can be made to individual sizes.
Drawings and design of a birdhouse type toilet
No matter which toilet you choose, it will require a stall. « Birdhouse » - one of the most popular options.
- To make the frame and floor, buy boards. It is best to choose larch lumber, then the structure will be especially durable. You can use pine boards on doors, sheathing and walls. All parts of the structure should be coated with an antiseptic.
- Make a foundation 1x1 m, place a magpie board on the floor. The front wall has a height of 2 m, and the back wall is 2.3 m. Be sure to use a level during construction.
- When the frame is ready, board the toilet. Install doors, after which you can proceed to work on the roofing installation. The process is completed by performing external work.
If you are going to make a “birdhouse”, equipping it with a cesspool, make a foundation. Concrete blocks can be used for this purpose. 20x20x40 cm. Cover the roof with a profile sheet, and make the ridge from a bent strip of galvanized steel.
Drawings and design of a hut-type toilet
« Hut » - another popular option.
- First collect front wall, and then move to the back. The easiest way to build a building is to make it from edged pine boards thick 30 mm, use self-tapping screws or nails for fastening.
- Install cross and longitudinal beams , and then spacer. Make a crossbar for the pedestal, be sure to attach it to the back wall, and don’t forget about the spacer beam.
- After you finish working on the frame, boards sew up the base of the floor. Make a platform, and then move on to covering the slopes. After this you can collect and hang a door for a country toilet.
Drawings and design of a “teremok” toilet
For regions where winters are snowy, construction is ideal « teremok » . This toilet is perfectly protected from the wind. The shape is unusual; such a structure can be made from scrap materials.
Pay attention to the shape of the door . Its upper end is rounded, so construction will take more time.
Construction may seem enough to novice builders challenging task. Pay attention to the geometry of the corners, then the building will be symmetrical.
Powder closet
A powder closet is another construction option. Usually, you make a country toilet with your own hands in those places where groundwater comes close to the surface. The design differs in that it does not have underground waste storage.
The powder closet is great for the garden. And here is the house in which it is planned year-round accommodation, it is best to provide a septic tank.
- The foundation is concreted, the toilet stall can be of any shape.
- A pedestal is made inside the building with a hole into which a waste container is inserted.
Backlash closet
Backlash closets are made both inside houses and outside.
- The toilet is cleaned using cesspool machines, this is done once a season.
- The cesspool is made airtight; this is a mandatory condition that must be observed when constructing a building.
The toilet cubicle can be of any shape.
Shower-toilet
A toilet-shower for a summer house is a building that combines two rooms under one roof.
- A partition is erected between the toilet and shower; each section has its own door. Height and width of the building - 2 m, length - 3 m.
- The upper and lower trim can be made from timber 100×100 mm, and for vertical supports - timber 50×100 mm. Buy timber in sufficient quantities, you should make 24 supports.
- Also, do 12 blanks 200 cm long. They will be used for roofing, use timber with a section 50x100 mm.
Let's start construction
Materials and tools
Before starting work, buy lumber in advance.
- To build the frame, purchase timber. Pay attention to its cross-section, the best option — 100 x 100 mm, to increase the strength of the building, you can buy lumber with a section 150 x 150 mm.
- To cover the toilet you will need edged board not less than 20 mm thick.
- Laths are required for roof sheathing 50×20 mm, and a tongue and groove board will go on the floor 40×150 mm.
You can easily replace the cladding board by purchasing OSB boards, or sheets of waterproof plywood. If you have chosen OSB, then the slats can be cut from these boards.
You will need the following tools:
- hammer, screws and nails;
- shovel and bucket;
- pliers;
- hammer drill or impact drill;
- brush for applying stain and paint;
- containers for solutions and paint.
How to choose a place
Determine the location where you plan to build the toilet. Its distance from the house and other buildings depends on whether it will have a cesspool, or whether the building will be built without one.
Remember that construction should not interfere with neighbors; do not forget to make a 1 meter retreat from the fence. The door should open towards your yard. When digging a cesspool, leave access roads for the sewer truck.
Pit toilet
Most restrictions apply to the construction of cesspools. They must be properly insulated to prevent environmental pollution.
- The cesspool should be located in 25 m from water source. This could be a well, borehole or pond. The rule also applies to water sources located in neighboring areas.
- From the cesspool to the basement or cellar there should be at least 12 m, to the bathhouse or home - 8 m. To buildings where animals are kept, not less than 4 m. Pay attention not only to the location of buildings on your site, but also on your neighbor’s. This will help avoid conflict situations.
Before starting construction, you need to choose the internal structure of the toilet. The building can be with or without a cesspool.
If groundwater comes close to the surface, being above 3.5 m from the surface, you can only build without a pit. Otherwise, waste products will be found in the water.
If groundwater comes close to the surface, being above 3.5 m from the surface, you can only build without a pit.
Similar restrictions are imposed on buildings built on shale rocks and in areas with natural cracks. Consider the water level in the spring when the snow melts. The lowest point of the cesspool should be 1 m higher maximum level water in spring.
If the groundwater is deep, then any type of garden toilet can be made on the site. The optimal volume of the pit is 1.5 cubic meters; it can be located under the building or to the side of it.
The cesspool can be:
- round shape;
- square shape.
In the first case, concrete rings are used to arrange it. In addition, the walls can be made of brick and rubble stone to make a toilet for a dacha. But remember that this option will require labor, time and certain financial investments.
- Pay special attention tightness of the bottom and walls. At the bottom they make a castle from a layer of clay. It is compacted, the thickness of the layer should be minimum 30 cm. If you don’t want to work with clay, the bottom can be filled with concrete.
- Be sure to do bitumen waterproofing.
- Inside the toilet it is necessary make a hatch, or leave several boards on the floor loose. You can choose a design in which the hatch is located outside the toilet.
- It is recommended to equip the toilet ventilation system. When the pit is filled to 2/3 of its volume, the contents should be pumped out.
Detailed instructions for building a tire cesspool:
Options without pit
It is much easier to build a wooden toilet for a summer house without a cesspool. Human waste will be collected in a sealed container.
There are several types of such toilets, but the differences relate only to the method of waste processing.
- In biotoilets this is done by microorganisms, in chemical installations - by special substances.
- In the powder closet, the waste is sprinkled with powder, which can be peat, sawdust or ash.
We are building a house
When the work on arranging the cesspool is completed, you can proceed to the construction of the foundation.
It must be sustainable, and its reliability matters. These are the main points to pay attention to.
If the region often experiences windy weather, it is better to use metal pipes as the base. They must be buried in the ground, and the beams must be installed inside. This way the structure will be further strengthened.
If the region often experiences windy weather, it is better to use metal pipes as the base.
The frame is made from wooden beams. For the base, buy lumber of a larger cross-section, and for the load-bearing elements you can choose thinner bars. To construct the door opening, take a 100×100 mm beam.
- Saddle the base first, connecting the beams with nails. To make it easier to work, the bars can be pre-fastened with thin strips. Reinforce the base with stiffeners. For this purpose, use lumber with a smaller cross-section. It is very good if the frame and stiffeners are one whole.
- For roofing at the top of the frame make the sheathing. The crush can be covered with slate; you will need one sheet. In order to fix it, fill the strips on the facade and back of the booth. Attach the beams to the bottom of the frame; they will become the basis for the floor. After this, you can proceed to the construction of walls. Cover them with boards, this is the best option. In addition, chipboard or plywood sheets can be used.
- Make a door. After attaching the awnings, install it in the opening.
- Cover the roof with slate or other material.
- If you want, you can paint the toilet.
How to make ventilation
Exist the following options actions:
- Leave the building as is. In this case, the air in the cabin will move on its own.
- Forced ventilation. It is based on the installation of a fan.
You can choose any option for organizing the hood, but each of them requires ventilation holes in the walls. It's about about supply and exhaust ducts. A mandatory requirement will be the installation of a hood above the cesspool.
Forced ventilation is more efficient, it quickly removes from the toilet unpleasant odors. But organizing such a system will require certain financial costs from the owner of a summer cottage.
For organization forced ventilation you need to buy the following:
- fan;
- switches;
- the wire.
Forced ventilation quickly removes methane, but such an installation is quite difficult to assemble. If you want the air in the toilet to always be fresh, this option will be the most suitable. But without electricity, such an installation will not work.
The natural method of ventilation is good because it does not require additional equipment.
In order to do supply ventilation, install a hood in the pit. It is required to ensure that gas does not enter the cabin, but is discharged outside.
Make an exhaust pipe. To do this, buy a product whose diameter is minimum 10 cm. The length of the pipe depends on how deep the hole is made in the toilet. To work, you will need an impact drill; in some cases, you cannot do without a hammer drill. The choice of tools depends on what material the booth is made of.
When laying a pipe in the ground, do not forget about its protection; for this purpose, buy a casing. You will also need fastenings. Those designed for drainage work well. To make the system more efficient, purchase a deflector.
The ventilation installation process consists of the following steps:
- Using the tool make a hole in a cesspool.
- Install fastenings according to the height of the building. Insert the pipe and secure her.
- Install the deflector.
Make holes in the walls of the toilet, placing them on opposite sides. There should be a place for the hood closer to the ceiling, and a supply opening near the floor. Take a mesh and close the ventilation passages; this will prevent debris from entering the toilet and also protect the building from insects.
Install the fan by attaching it to the exhaust vent. For a standard toilet, the area of which does not exceed 2 m², a device whose power does not exceed 30 Watt. Supply electricity by laying a cable. Connect the fan, connect it to the mains.
Lighting
The lighting options in the toilet are as follows:
- air line;
- underground cable;
- solar-powered lanterns.
An overhead line is not the best solution if you do not want wires running over the area from the house to the toilet. Laying the cable underground is more beneficial from an aesthetic point of view, but few people would like to spend so much money and time to install lighting in the toilet.
- you can use LED lights , which are designed to illuminate the garden. There are products on sale in different shapes and weights. They are inexpensive and every gardener can buy them.
- Since bright light is not needed, installing one flashlight will be enough for lighting. Buy a product, separate its upper part. Take a knife and cut off the fasteners, then they will not interfere with you.
- Measure the protruding part of the lantern– one that is equipped with an LED and a battery. If necessary, you can easily replace the battery.
- Make a hole in the wall of the building appropriate size. Insert the flashlight and secure it it with glue. Silicone sealant is best suited for this purpose.
How to make insulation
Choice suitable option insulation must be determined in advance. Much depends on whether you plan to insulate the internal or external parts of the structure.
Planning work on internal part, remember that space is limited. Choose a material that will not take up much space during installation. It is important that it reliably protects against frost, cold and wind. Another thing that speaks in favor of insulation from the inside is that this type of installation of material will require less money. However, each case is individual.
When choosing external insulation, be prepared for more painstaking work. Because of limited space buy thermal insulation materials whose width does not exceed 75 mm. The ideal option would be to install mineral wool sheets. To attach it, buy rectangular metal slats.
Due to limited space, buy thermal insulation materials whose width does not exceed 75 mm.
- For waterproofing you will need a film, and for cladding - plasterboard. It is best to opt for moisture-resistant sheets.
- Buy screws and profiles. They will be needed in order to make a high-quality fastening.
- To putty the joints between the sheets, buy putty.
To choose required quantity material, it is necessary to take into account the dimensions of the building. Installation of insulation consists of the following stages:
- Take wooden slats. Make the sheathing by painting it on the walls in increments of 50 cm.
- Lay down insulation sheets. Secure them with self-tapping screws and attach them to the sheathing. The material should be placed on the walls, do not forget about the ceiling.
- Place film on the insulation, it is required to protect mineral wool from moisture. Secure the film with tape.
- Cover the insulation moisture-resistant plasterboard . They are attached to self-tapping screws and mounted on a metal profile.
- Sheet joints seal with putty.
If you want, you can stick wallpaper or tiles onto the drywall.
You can build a toilet by hiring a construction team, or you can buy a ready-made one.
- The cost of the “Hut” or “Birdhouse” starts from 6500 rubles.
- Utility block with toilet – from 12 to 18 thousand rubles.
- Delivery is possible, its cost depends on the destination and region.
You can build a toilet in your country house with your own hands very quickly. All parts of the structure made of wood should be treated with biocides. These drugs are effective against rot. Soak the wood twice with the water-polymer emulsion. This product is inexpensive and will reliably protect lumber from dampness for many years.
- Sheathing with tongue and groove material will show all the advantages if you start filling the board with a horizontal belt. Keep in mind that the ridges should be placed up and the grooves should be placed down. This will prevent moisture from accumulating in the tongue. But the door is always sheathed, placing the boards vertically.
- If you are going to build, and the drawing suggests the construction of curved sections, then cover them with boat boards. Marine cladding will last much longer.
- In regions where in summer and in winter period there is a large amount of precipitation, such cladding will become ideal option. But remember that in regions where strong winds prevail, it is better to give preference to sheet piling cladding.
- if you have electric jigsaw, which has a swivel shoe, then you can do it yourself boat plank from ordinary edged lumber.
- All parts that face the ground or cesspool must be further processed bitumen mastic or hot bitumen.
Conclusion
Building a country toilet with your own hands is a task that even novice builders can do.
- Before starting work, determine the construction site and groundwater level; the type of structure depends on it.
- Make a drawing.
- Buy lumber in advance and prepare your tools.
You can assemble a toilet for your dacha in a few days.
