How to make a garden toilet with your own hands?

For those who do not think their life without a small piece of land on which you can plant different plants, the improvement of the dacha territory is of great importance. When residents of urban apartments leave them and move to dachas, they want their new homes to have some basic amenities. And they will, if city communications are brought close to the country sites. And suddenly, from the amenities at the cottage you will have only electricity? And this can only mean one thing: you have to make a garden toilet with your own hands. But upsetting ahead of time is not necessary - it's not so difficult.

Choose a place and dig a hole

In order to proceed with the construction of the facility itself, first of all it is necessary to decide whether it will be a capital toilet in the garden section by all the rules that can last for more than one year. If you decide to make a long-lasting garden toilet with your own hands, you should prepare a suitable size dish. Most likely, it will be a large barrel. It can be both metal and plastic. Next, you will need to dig a pit for this capacity. For example, if the toilet will have a barrel with a liters volume of 200, then the pit will need to be made a meter deep by 1.5. And right away I want to say that when building a garden toilet with your own hands, it's best to dig a shovel, gradually digging into the ground. Earth from the pit should not be scattered anywhere, but put in a certain place. It can still come in handy.

We turn to the construction of an important design

In the barrel, you need to make several holes, so that you can easily add some chemicals to it or pump out the waste of life if necessary. The space around the barrel needs to be filled. Do it best with a mixture of sand and gravel approximately 2/3 of the height of the barrel. As you fall asleep, this mixture must be filled with water to fill the free space as tightly as possible. The rest of the distance can either be covered with dirt that has been previously removed from the pit itself, or simply concrete. In order for the garden toilet, made by all the rules, to stand firmly on the ground, you will need to dig deep but narrow pits and drive wooden ones into them Pillars or, as they are also called, piles. There must be exactly four such holes. In the main pit, under the prepared barrel, it will be necessary to make drainage. Drainage should not be too thick, up to 25 cm. As a drain, you can use sand and gravel.

Finishing stage of construction

Above the barrel you need to install the "skeleton" of the future house, or, as it is also called, the frame. If you can not present all the construction in detail, it will help you to create a garden toilet drawing, which is easy to do by yourself on a regular sheet. The frame needs to be attached to the piles drowned in the ground. On the barrel itself, it is necessary to put a pad fixed to the frame with a small hole directly above it. The frame of the toilet can be sewed with planed boards, the roof also made of wood and trim it with tarry. It remains only to hang the door on a specially made for this opening. The simplest garden toilet with your own hands is made successfully!
