How to build a street toilet with your own hands

When a person becomes the owner of a suburban area, he has a lot of problems associated with the exploitation of the territory. One of them may be the question of how to make a toilet in the country.

You can offer several options for its construction, but the most simple and popular is an ordinary toilet with a cesspool. It is worth to focus on how to equip the booth, that is, the "head" of the entire structure. Since we are all civilized people, we make every effort to make life more comfortable. Many of us are so spoiled by all the amenities of living in the city that are not ready to get used to the Spartan conditions. Without a shower, and even more so without a toilet, living at the dacha becomes a real torture. That is why it is necessary to find a way out of this situation.

Before you make a street toilet, you need to determine at what depth the groundwater is located, for which it is necessary to enlist the help of a specialist. After that, you can proceed with choosing a location for the construction. As the main material used to build the toilet, will serve as wood. In advance, you will need to prepare bars, the cross section of which is 50x50 or 40x40 mm. The wood must be of a quality dried. It's also worth buying a board, which you'll be laying a street toilet. It is possible to use imitation of a bar, very similar to a lining, the thickness of which is 20 millimeters. You can use the usual lining or block house - the choice depends on your preferences. You will also need to purchase a wooden corner and trim. A set of necessary tools includes a screwdriver, electric saw, electric jigsaw, roulette, pencil and level.

In form, a street toilet will be made in the form of a classic birdhouse, having the following dimensions along the frame: 100 cm wide, 110 cm deep, 210 cm high. You can increase these settings depending on your needs or reduce if necessary. Roofing material will serve as ordinary slate, metal profiled sheet, soft roof or ondulin. The latter option has such properties as corrosion resistance, reliability and ease of installation. The toilet will serve as a classic pedestal of a rectangular shape, tested by no one generation.

If we are building a street toilet with a cesspool, we should consider the process of digging it. Its depth can be up to three meters. The width is chosen not only depending on the minimum permissible, but also on the convenience of work. In a narrow hole it will be difficult to dig, so you will only be tormented. At great depth you will need someone's help to pull the ground to the surface. After excavation, the foundation should be thoroughly tamped, and then pour a concrete screed into three to four centimeters. Now you can lay out a brick or a stone, on the top layer it is necessary to fix the anchor bolts, intended for fastening the toilet floor.

And you can not bother with all these difficulties and buy a peat toilet for a summer house, which is easy to install and operate.
