Schemes for the construction of country toilets + a toilet project with a shower in drawings and photos

Floor and waterproofing

Regardless of the type of finish, the floor in the bathroom of a wooden house must be waterproofed. This applies to both the first and second floors.

Most Reliable for the floor is considered rolled waterproofing. If the house stands on a monolithic reinforced concrete foundation, and a reinforced concrete slab is used to cover the first floor, then the bathroom floor is waterproofed over a leveling screed using standard technology. For wooden floors, other rules apply:

• moisture-resistant plywood or gypsum board is chosen as the basis for laying waterproofing strips;
• standard sheets are cut into four parts;
• screw plywood (GKL) with self-tapping screws to the subfloor, observing gaps between parts of 3-4 mm and shifting the rows relative to each other;
• the seams are sealed with an elastic sealant;
• polish the surface;
• treated with a moisture-resistant primer;

Such a "pie" is obtained by laying tiles in the bathroom of a wooden house

• rolled waterproofing is laid (the strips overlap each other by 15-20 cm and go onto the walls by 10-20 cm);
• along the perimeter, a damper tape is attached to the walls, which will ensure the mobility of the floor (“floating” technology, without rigid fixation to the walls);
• a leveling thin-layer screed (up to 30 mm) is poured with fiberglass mesh reinforcement.

Instead of tiles, when arranging the floor in the bathroom of a wooden house, a massive board is often chosen (so as not to violate the "integrity" of the overall design). To do this, logs are laid on top of the waterproofing in a “floating” way (without rigid attachment to the base and walls), and so that they do not move during installation, they are fixed to each other with transverse bars. The distance between the ends of the log and the walls must be at least 10 mm, and the laying step depends on the thickness of the floorboard. As a coating, if you do not consider such exotic moisture-resistant wood species as teak, it is better to use larch, which is not afraid of high humidity and open contact with water. You can also choose a heat-treated board - the same larch or any other domestic wood species.

Heat-treated boards are characterized by a characteristic color

Of course, heat treatment reduces wear resistance, but a bathroom in a wooden house needs more flooring resistance to high humidity.

Instead of an array, you can use an engineering board with a protective paint layer already applied. And instead of tiles on a leveling screed, you can lay a parquet board and even a moisture-resistant laminate. But in any case, the connection of the floorboards to each other should take place according to the “thorn-groove” principle with the obligatory treatment of the seams with water-repellent mastic.

Surface construction options

country toilet

The toilet in the country may, at the request of the owner, look like:

1

Birdhouse. Wooden building with a one-sided sloping roof. The simplest and cheapest design that does not provide a level of comfort

Structure "Birdhouse"

2

Teremok (hut). A structure with two sharp pitched roofs that is well insulated due to its unusual shape

"Teremok"

3

Triangle (hut). One of the most common forms, with high moisture resistance due to the gable roof. Even strong gusts of wind are not afraid of such a structure.

"Hut"

4

House. Comfortable option, where there is enough space for a person. Features increased durability

"House"

Quite unusual structural solutions in the form of a double sanitary building or a bathroom combined with an outdoor shower are also popular.

Bathroom with shower

The choice of the ground part of the toilet depends on several parameters:

• weight of the building (should not be heavy so that the ground does not subside and fail)
• strengthening the foundation
• expected frequency of use
• material for construction (wood, plastic, corrugated board are best suited)
• availability of a ready-made construction scheme or the possibility of its manufacture
• financial ability to maintain and clean

double toilet

The standard dimensions of the toilet building, in which it is convenient for a person to be both standing and sitting:

1. Height 2.2–2.3 m
2. Width - 1–1.2 m
3. Depth - 1.4 m

Drawing toilet "Teremok"

This toilet is shaped like a diamond. Compared to the "Shalash", it takes longer to build, but it also looks more decorative.With appropriate design, it will not spoil the landscape at all.

A diamond-shaped house for a toilet in a summer cottage looks good. Outside, the frame can be upholstered with a round timber of small diameter sawn in half, a lining of large thickness, a block house, an ordinary board. If you use a board, do not nail it end-to-end, but lay it a couple of centimeters on the bottom, like a fir cone. You can, of course, end-to-end, but the appearance will not be the same ...

The second option: the country toilet "Teremok" is made with beveled side walls.

The main catch in any small wooden toilet is to secure the doors well. The door frame is the most loaded part, especially on the side where the doors are attached. To fasten the door pillars to the frame beams, use studs - so the fastening will be reliable.

Photo illustrations: building a toilet in the country with his own hands. The drawings are shown above.

From this simple, in general, design, you can make a restroom in any style. For example, in Dutch. The finish is simple - light plastic, on top of which characteristic beams are stuffed, stained with stain

Pay attention to the glass inserts and the fact that the roof of this instance is made of polycarbonate. If the polycarbonate is multilayer, it should not be hot)))

Country street toilet in the form of a Dutch house

You can even turn the Teremok toilet into a royal carriage. This is not a joke… confirmation in the photo. All you need to do is change the shape and add a few decorative elements that are typical for carriages.So you get a toilet in the form of a carriage.

Outdoor carriage toilet

Here are some photos of the manufacturing process. The original has a dry closet, so the construction is simple: there is no need to think about the pit and the nuances associated with it ... but you can adapt such a booth to any type ...

Frame of characteristic shape

Please note that the shape is achieved thanks to the boards set at an angle, and the smoothly tapering bottom is due to the supports trimmed accordingly.

A dry closet is installed on the podium

The floor is sewn up with short boards, then the sheathing begins from the outside. At the top, the carriage also has a smooth bend - cut out the appropriate guides from short boards, nail them to the existing side posts, and you can start the outer wall cladding.

wall cladding

Inside is also sheathed with clapboard. Outside the toilet-carriage is whitewashed, inside the wood has a natural color. After that, decoration and the addition of characteristic details remain - monograms painted with gold, lanterns, “golden” chains, wheels.

Painting and decorating

"Royal" curtains and flowers))) There is even a washstand and a small sink.

After all the efforts, we have the most unusual toilet in the area. Few can boast of such...

How to make a toilet seat?

Before you make a toilet seat, you need to decide on its tasks:

• Hygiene. Its surface should be easy to clean and wash. To do this, wooden surfaces can be treated with special impregnations or plastic elements can be installed.
• Convenience. Spending time in such a structure should not cause discomfort.Maximum convenience can be achieved by choosing the right height and shape of the “throne” (as the toilet seat is often called).
• Strength. It must be borne in mind that a large load can affect the frame. He must endure it. For the construction of the frame, select a beam of more than 5x5 cm. The boards used for sheathing the toilet seat should not be thinner than 0.2 cm.

Chair shape:

The standard version is rectangular. A rectangular structure is constructed and connected to the side and rear frame. Then it is sheathed and a hole is cut out. It is desirable to treat the surface with special means. To increase convenience, you can install a plastic toilet seat from the top.

• Triangular - directed at an acute angle towards the entrance. The design merges into the frame of the rear wall. This option is more comfortable for some people when sitting.
• Turkish. It is possible to arrange a toilet without using a toilet seat. A hole is simply made in the floor. With this design, there is no need to talk about convenience, but the savings in materials and improved hygiene are obvious.
• Toilet. There are toilets when an ordinary toilet is installed instead of a toilet seat. In this case, you need to calculate the load on the floor and provide for its fastening.

The toilet in the country is a simple structure that everyone can build with their own hands. In this case, you need to choose the right place for its location and the drawing, the work on which is carried out without deviations.

Finishing

Decorating a bathroom is an activity that requires a creative approach. The opinion about the exclusivity of the tree is outdated. Its abundance annoys the household when the tone of the floor, walls, ceiling and furniture is identical. It creates the feeling of being in a wooden box. This is unacceptable and creates an oppressive atmosphere.In addition, often the tone of the wood hides the level of lighting in the bathroom. The focus is on interesting ideas, cladding, which allows you to make the interior expressive

It is important to use lightweight materials that are environmentally friendly and do not need complex frame systems. This need is connected with the shrinkage of the house, which distinguishes private village buildings and country houses.

Light finishing raw materials are also appropriate if the house is built of brick or foam blocks.

More often, finishing is carried out on cement plaster. Gypsum material absorbs moisture and flakes off the surface. It is also undesirable in a separate toilet, where there is almost always condensate. Surface finishing with ceramic tiles is carried out after shrinkage of the entire structure. Sometimes you have to wait for this moment for 1 year. A similar technology has slats, which can be wall and ceiling. If the house has sat down, the ceiling can be decorated with a plasterboard construction with a stretch film. You can use the cassette method of registration. Its technology makes it possible to accommodate panels-luminaires instead of individual parts. Wallpaper in the bathroom is undesirable - under the influence of moisture, they will move away from the base.

Rules for choosing a place for a toilet

Before installing a toilet in the country, choose a suitable place for it, taking into account the type of structure, as well as the characteristics of the cesspool

When looking for a site for construction, pay attention to the following points:

It is important to consider how deep the groundwater lies in the summer cottage. With a GWL height of more than 2.5-3 m, it is impossible to make a cesspool, only the latrine option with waste treatment with special powders is suitable.
In the process of choosing toilet facilities in the country take into account the location of buildings in neighboring areas and their own territory

Closet erected away from other structures.
Be sure to take into account the current sanitary and hygienic standards and observe the normalized distances from other buildings in the country.
The structure is erected in a place to which it is easy to provide access for a sewage truck.
When choosing a place, the landscape of the territory is taken into account. If placed at the lowest point of the site, the building will be flooded with melt water in the autumn-spring period. At higher elevations, strong drafts and winds are often present.

Types of country toilets

Consider three types: backlash - powder closets, dry closets.

play closet

It got its name from the ventilation duct, combined with the chimney. Due to its heating, traction is formed. Naturally, no odors. Summer to create traction a simple heater is built into the lower part of the chimney incandescent lamp type at 15 - 20 watts.

The pit is periodically pumped out.

It should have one outer wall, a window is arranged in it.

Rice. 3. 1 - chimney; 2 - backlash channel; 3 - insulated cover; 4 - standard sewer hatch; 5 - ventilation pipe; 6 - clay castle; 7 - brick walls.

Rice. 4. Indoor play closet with individual ventilation

A rather complicated, but impeccable sanitary design. The calculation of the volume is as follows: when cleaning once a year, 1 cubic meter per person: with four - 0.25 cubic meters. For any calculation, the depth is at least 1 meter: the level of the contents should not be less than 50 cm from the ground.

The pit is airtight: a concrete bottom is poured over the clay castle, the walls are also concrete or lined with bricks. Internal surfaces are insulated with bitumen. The vent must always be higher than the edge of the waste pipe.

Of course, such a scheme does not quite fit into the concept of a country house, but this type of toilet will not cause claims from either neighbors or local authorities.

It is very important!. Same street type design

The same design of the street type.

Rice. 5; 1 - ventilation duct; 2 - sealed cover; 3 - clay castle; 4 - hermetic shell of the pit; 5 - content; 6 - impact board; 7 - ventilation window.

There are a lot of designs of the toilet seat, it is produced specifically for such toilets and sanitary ware.

Rice. 6. Toilet bowl for play closets.

Inner hole diameter 300mm, cover not included.

cleaning

Over time, silt forms in the pit, which prevents the liquid from draining. As a result, the hole quickly fills up.

In order to restore its filtration, craftsmen advise mixing the contents by chemical means: quicklime, calcium carbide, yeast. A positive effect can be observed in 1 - 2 cases out of 10. In the rest - big troubles.

Today there is a wide range of biological agents and stimulants for cesspools that eliminate sludge without noise and dust, turn the contents into compost, suitable for growing even vegetable crops.

Of course, this takes time: at least 2 - 3 years, depending on the average annual temperature, strict adherence to the manufacturer's instructions, especially in terms of application. The smell can be eliminated within a few weeks.

If it does not make practical sense or is contrary to cultural traditions, calling a special vehicle will solve all problems. When such visits seem costly, it is time to consider another option, which we will discuss below.

Sanitary standards

You will have to build a country toilet with your own hands with a cesspool, taking into account the fact that with an average daily flow of less than 1 cubic meter, it can have an open bottom, from above it can only be closed.

It is released from the contents less than 2 times a year. The signal for this is the content level is less than 35 cm from the ground level.

Disinfection of cesspools of street latrines is carried out with a mixture of such a composition.

• Lime chloride 10%.
• Sodium hypochlorite 5%.
• Naphtalizol 10%.
• Creolin 5%
• Sodium metasilicate 10%.

Pure dry bleach is prohibited: releases deadly chlorine when wet.

Powder closet

Here the pit is replaced by a small container. There are buckets with a sealed lid, which is removed before the procedure. At its end, the contents are “powdered” with organic material. There is a smell when the lid is open, especially in hot weather. The use of biopreparations significantly reduces it.

Rice. 7. 1 - ventilation window; 2 - cover; 3 - toilet seat; 4 - capacity; 5 - wooden frame; 6 - frame base; 7 - gravel and crushed stone backfill; 8 - door.

The advantages of such a design are that outdoor toilet for it is not required. It can be a corner of an outbuilding, a basement. The presence of a ventilation window or pipe is required.

Closet powder easily transforms into compost and vice versa. A rational solution is to combine it with a shower or utility room.

The electric toilet leaves behind a handful of ash, but you can't use it as fertilizer. This also applies to chemical devices.

materials

As materials for the construction of the toilet, you can use various options. Often what is left of the construction of the main structures on the site is used.

For cesspool construction the following will be required:

• sand;
• cement mixture;
• gravel;
• reinforcement to strengthen the foundation;
• chain-link mesh to fit the bottom and walls of the pit, as well as metal pins to attach this mesh to the soil.

Another option instead of a chain-link and concrete is a brick, which also lays out the bottom and walls of the pit. You can also use a well concrete ring, which has holes in its walls or large rubber tires. The easiest option is to purchase a ready-made, special container treated with a septic solution and produced in various sizes.

The toilet house can be made from different materials.

from wood

To make a wooden building not very heavy in weight, it is better to use boards. From a bar, the structure will be heavier, in this case, you first need to take care of the foundation.

The most common version of a country toilet is made of wooden boards. It has both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantages of a wooden building include:

• Aesthetic appearance. Compared to a metal or plastic house, a wooden one looks more solid and comfortable. In addition, it harmoniously fits into the natural atmosphere, as it is made of natural material.
• The construction of such a house does not require large financial costs.
• Durability.With timely treatment of wood with protective solutions and cleaning the surface of dirt, the building can last for many years.
• The tree itself has the property of neutralizing unpleasant odors, especially in the first time after the installation of the structure, exuding a pleasant forest aroma.
• If the building becomes unsuitable for further use, it can be easily disassembled and disposed of using a stove or a fire to kindle.

from brick

This is a solid, laborious and expensive option. It will also require the construction of a foundation. It should be understood that the use of this material will not provide additional heat inside the toilet. To do this, the room must be insulated separately, using lightweight materials, such as foam.

And corrugated board

Such a structure can be erected without spending extra time and effort. In addition, a light-weight building is obtained from the profiled sheet, which will not allow the soil to settle.

From plywood or OSB board

Pretty simple and convenient option. Its construction will not require much time and financial costs. You can also use this material for cladding a frame built from a profile pipe or timber.

The disadvantages of a wooden structure are the following factors:

• All wooden buildings are flammable and in the event of a fire are completely destroyed in a short time. This can be avoided by special impregnation with a heat-resistant solution.
• If the surface is not treated with a special agent, the boards can quickly become damp and rot.
• Wood is a material in which various insects can start destroying the building. Only periodic treatment of the premises with a pesticide can get rid of them.

Types of toilets

The simplicity of the design allows you to equip the toilet in the country with your own hands drawings, and the dimensions of which can be studied in the catalogs of companies or calculated by yourself. Wood is the most popular and affordable material, easy to process and does not require special tools for construction. The structure itself consists of a frame sheathed with a board and covered with roofing material.
It is easy to build a country toilet with your own hands, for this you do not need to make complex calculations, it is enough to know the standard dimensions, study the construction instructions, prepare the material and tools and start rebuilding the bathroom.Scheme and project of a wooden toilet for a summer residenceReady assembled wooden toilet in the countrySimple design country toilet
Costs note that building a house is half the battle, the second half is to create a special tank for waste disposal. There are several categories of toilets that differ in the principle of recycling.

play closet

In this type of toilets, only the lower part of the toilet bowl is installed, with a technological slope of the floor towards the disposal tank. Thanks to him, the remains flow into the equipped cesspool on their own. The waste container itself is arranged behind the booth, and is emptied as it fills up.Schematic device backlash closetDrawing backlash of a closet for a summer residence or at home
This design is good because it can be installed indoors, creating a warm bathroom, and the waste collector can be dug out outside the house. To do this, attach a polypropylene pipe with a diameter of 100-150 mm to the toilet.

In this situation, it is not necessary to mount an expensive full-fledged communication.The names of the elements of the backlash of the closet

Important! When arranging a country backlash-closet with the removal of the pit outside the house, there will be no extraneous odors in the bathroom.
It is worth taking a responsible attitude to the arrangement of the tank for residues, it is insulated with high quality, covered with a sealed lid and a competent ventilation system. The process of building backlash closet in the country
The disadvantage of such a toilet is that during its arrangement it will be necessary to violate the integrity of the wall

Powder closet

The simplest design and design of toilets for a summer cottage. For its construction, it is enough to dig a hole, which will serve as a waste collector, over which a wooden house is installed. To prevent odor, waste should be poured after going to the toilet. Sawdust, peat are used as powder.Dimensional drawing of the closet powder deviceCloset powder project in the country
It is not necessary to build a toilet in the country with your own hands; you can make a simple schematic sketch to understand the idea of ​​​​the stages of work. When buying a similar design in a store, a container with bio-powder is included in the bathroom kit. It is easy to use, just put a bucket of sawdust or peat and use a powder scoop.The process of building toilet powders at their summer cottage
The advantage of these toilets is the use of waste as fertilizer. When filling the pit, the structure is transferred, and the reservoir is covered with earth, leaving it until humus is obtained.
Minus the soil will be polluted by liquid sewage, which is not entirely beneficial. If the bottom waters lie close to the surface, then it is not recommended to install such a building on the site.

dry closet

This is a toilet, a wooden house, equipped with a factory-made storage tank, in which waste is processed by bacteria without air access.Dimensional drawing for the installation of a dry closet in the country
Bacteria are poured into the accumulator along with the preparation of biological origin. It is purchased separately from a specialized store. Waste is quickly recycled, it is often not necessary to clean the container, the waste may be immediately applied as a fertilizer for the site.

Trends of the times

The country toilet today is not at all the same as it was 20 or even 10 years ago. And it's not just fashion:

• The environmental situation as a whole has deteriorated and, accordingly, sanitary requirements have become tougher. Traditional solutions do not always fit into them.
• There has been a real revolution in the technology of processing and neutralization of waste products, and many of its achievements are available in everyday life.
• People's demands for quality of life have increased, including not only comfort with ergonomics, but also external design.

Based on this, we will figure out how to build a country toilet with our own hands. With one small caveat: we will only touch on brick and concrete structures in passing: this is already a capital construction with all the ensuing requirements. On a summer cottage, a separate warm capital toilet can be erected only in exceptional cases due to the small land area. But let's dwell on the architectural design of the most important building, which is included in the quality of life, and the toilet in this respect is one of the most difficult objects. If not the hardest. However, amenable to decision; for an example, see fig.

Various country toilets

Let's look at how to bring beauty in the end.First you need to deal with the construction, and the design is already tied to it. To build a toilet that is cozy, clean, hygienic and pleasing to the eye, you must first solve other problems:

1. Select the type of system for draining, draining and utilizing wastewater based on local conditions.
2. Determine the location of the toilet on the site.
3. Choose the type and design solution of the ground structure; simply - cabins or booths.
4. Deal with its decorative design: which of the appropriate in this case will be able to do.
5. Estimate construction costs.

I must say that these problems are closely interconnected and you need to deal with them together. A little aside there is only a booth; it almost does not interact with the underground part and the base. So the toilet cabin can be made, in general, whatever you like, and this is the easiest and cheapest part of the work. Therefore, we will start with it.
