Which toilet for an outdoor toilet should I choose? DIY plastic country house - Review + Video

7,

When planning to open the gardening season in the spring, few city dwellers will want to put up with the need to visit an unfurnished toilet at their dacha - an antediluvian plank structure or even a bucket. Fortunately, modern manufacturers, thanks to the development of scientific thought, can offer many options for completely comfortable toilets for the garden.

Including a full-fledged toilet, so that you can feel quite comfortable even in a village and country environment. In the article we will look at the features of country toilets equipped with a toilet: we will find out how to build such a toilet on our own, and also find out at what prices manufacturers now offer similar toilets.

Features and Requirements

Let's find out what requirements a modern country toilet with a toilet must meet, and what its advantages are over a conventional one.

If previously most summer residents put up with a simple wooden structure, equipped with a primitive flooring with a functional hole in the floor, now more and more often people choose normal, full-fledged toilets, installing them on the territory of their summer cottages. Moreover, there is now a huge selection of various convenient devices on sale.

On the video - how you can make a toilet with a toilet in the country:

If the dacha has all communications: water supply, sewerage, electricity, then nothing prevents you from equipping a toilet that is indistinguishable from a city one. However, if you plan to use the dacha in winter, then it is necessary that it has heating: central or individual, otherwise the water in the plumbing equipment may freeze and render the entire system unusable.

Requirements

Not every dacha can install exactly the same toilet as in a city apartment. Most often, devices are selected that have some fundamental differences. Let's find out what requirements a toilet intended for a summer residence must meet.

Toilet in the country with a toilet

Since most often in a standard country house a separate small building is equipped for the toilet, the toilet should be light in weight. Lightweight construction usually has a plank floor, which may not support a massive ceramic device.

A toilet intended for a summer residence must be able to operate in water-free mode. Not every dacha has running water, so it is advisable to choose a toilet equipped with a flush mechanism without supplying water from outside.

A country toilet, as a rule, does not have a knee, which is present in every “urban” analogue. This is due to the fact that usually a country toilet is not connected to a centralized sewerage system.

The country version of the toilet has a specific mounting method: simpler, more basic, without any bells and whistles. Most often, the device is attached to the floor simply with screws.

Material

A toilet for a summer house can be made of two materials: ceramics (faience, porcelain) or plastic. Let's look at both of these options in more detail.

Ceramics

This option is suitable if the dacha is residential, is used in the winter, is equipped with all communications, and is practically complete housing, indistinguishable in terms of amenities from a city apartment. It will also be interesting to learn about how to choose a dry closet for your dacha, and how it can be installed correctly.

Plastic

For a country toilet - the most acceptable option, and the most often used in these circumstances. The plastic toilet is lightweight, cheap, and has a simple design. Most summer residents choose this option for their “estates”. For those who want to understand how a composting toilet for a summer cottage works without odor and pumping, you should follow the link and read the contents of this article.

Caring for an outdoor country toilet

To increase the service life of an outdoor toilet, it is important to properly care for it. Serious system maintenance is not required, but it is advisable to follow some recommendations:

• It is necessary to regularly clean the bowl using specialized products to eliminate germs and prevent stench. Chemicals should be selected depending on the material from which the toilet is made. For example, to clean a ceramic or porcelain model, you can use abrasives and strong chemical compounds, but to clean a plastic toilet you will need to use only mild products intended for plastic;
• If an unpleasant odor begins to spread around the area or in the toilet, then it is necessary to pour biological preparations or activators of chemical origin into the drainage hole. They should be placed in a hole to significantly speed up the decomposition of fecal matter and clean the drain. If biological products were used, then this action also helps to improve the quality of compost fertilizer;
• When connecting a street toilet to the sewer system, after some time of operation, the problem of silting of the pipeline may arise. In this case, the solid part of the wastewater and fat settles on the walls, which leads to a decrease in the working cross-section of the pipe. To prevent such a situation, you should periodically use special pipe cleaners or regularly pass water with acetic acid and soda through them.

The toilet will last much longer if the owner checks it twice a season for cracks, deformation, rotting and other damage processes. It is also recommended to carry out minor cosmetic repairs to the outdoor toilet and toilet once every 5 years or, if necessary, less frequently.

It should be noted that if you use a homemade toilet built from a chair, the need for repairs may appear earlier.

If a decision has been made to build an outdoor country toilet, then after designing the cabin, the next important decision is the choice of toilet. They can be made from various materials: wood, galvanized steel, porcelain and ceramics. Each of these options has advantages and disadvantages, and the procedure and complexity of construction also differ. If the owner does not want to build or install a toilet himself, the solution would be to purchase ready-made factory models of toilets.

Watch the video

When it comes to choosing plumbing items, many are sure that it is enough to just check the availability of everything necessary and the integrity of the items. After which you can completely calmly begin installing the selected model. However, consumer experience and experts advise not to rush. Plumbing is an integral part of the home, so its choice, namely the choice of a toilet, is a particularly important stage. If you overlook something, you may end up with an unsatisfactory option. Naturally, there remains the opportunity to buy new equipment, but this is an extra expense. One of the main selection criteria is the question of which toilet flushes better.

Recommendations

Tips for a more competent choice of country toilet.

A country toilet should not have a flush, unless, of course, you plan to connect it to a centralized water supply and sewerage system. The device also should not be a complex, “sophisticated” design. Ideally, a toilet for a summer house would be basic, simple, functional, and easy to install and dismantle if necessary. Periodic dismantling of the device is necessary to clean the cesspool.

Advice: when choosing a toilet model for your dacha, we recommend that you pay attention to those that do not require the use of electric tools when installing/dismantling. After all, very often access to electrical networks in a dacha is difficult, especially if the toilet is a separate building.

You should not install an overly expensive toilet model in your seasonal dacha. Such luxury in a short-term summer residence is completely unjustified and is unlikely to pay for itself. In addition, it is no secret that in autumn and winter, thieves often rule in dacha settlements: you should not give them another reason to break into your home.

It is best to purchase a toilet with a wide base. Such a model will be stable and reliable, and will eliminate the need to additionally purchase and install toilet seats.

The video shows recommendations for choosing:

When choosing a ready-made toilet stall, make sure that the structure has a window above the front door. This window will act as a source of lighting and will also serve for ventilation.

In the summer, at the dacha it is more convenient and hygienic to use a separate cabin. If the toilet is installed inside, this can create a lot of inconvenience in the heat due to smell, flies and other troubles. But no one forbids having two toilets: an indoor one for winter and bad weather, and a summer one: for guests and hot weather. If you are organizing get-togethers with neighbors and guests at your dacha, then a separate cabin in the garden will be very convenient: guests will not have to enter the house every time they need to visit the toilet.

Exhaust system in the toilet: its varieties

First of all, when choosing, you should pay attention to the toilet exhaust system. What is the release? This is the same drain hole through which the connection to the sewer pipe occurs. When choosing a particular toilet design, it is worth remembering the sewage system that already exists.

There is a single rule, in the case when there are no plans to remodel the sewer system, then the best option would be an exhaust system that is most suitable for the socket in the toilet. Three types of exhaust system:

Choosing a toilet model in a store

• vertical;
• oblique;
• horizontal.

Vertical and oblique systems were used in the construction of residential premises in the second half of the last century. The oblique system is connected using a flexible corrugated pipe and is located at an angle of approximately 45 degrees; it is most widespread in domestic models. The vertical outlet is directed to the floor. It assumes the presence of a sewer system that corresponds to it. The most common application is individual construction.

The last option (also called universal), the most common and is found in foreign-made plumbing fixtures. Its connection occurs using an adapter in the floor, and it can also be carried out in a vertical riser. It is considered the most expensive option, most common in toilets made in Sweden and Finland.

How to install

Let's consider what stages of assembling a country toilet need to be completed in order to acquire this most important part of the home.

Installing a toilet in a country house entirely depends on what type of cesspool you have chosen. This could be a hole from:

• ready-made blocks, concrete, rings;
• from a barrel.

Blocks

If the cesspool is the first option, then installation of the toilet will be elementary: You just need to install the toilet on the existing flooring and attach it to the floor using screws.

It is recommended to use rubber seals during installation, which will secure the device more securely and softly and will prevent it from swinging later.

To prevent the smell in the toilet from being too annoying, it is advisable to provide ventilation. To install it, a pipe made of asbestos or plastic is usually used. The diameter of the ventilation pipe should be 10 cm and the length should be about 3 m. It will also be interesting to learn more about how to use an electric dry closet.

Attention: if the toilet is located near a residential building, position the end of the ventilation pipe so that it is higher than the dwelling. Otherwise, there is a risk that unpleasant odors will waft through open windows directly into the house.

Barrel

If you decide to use a barrel under the cesspool, then before installing the toilet, you will need an adapter - a kind of cone made of a sheet of galvanized iron. It is needed in order to limit the diameter of waste falling into the barrel, since otherwise the soil around it may be contaminated. The cone must be made carefully and installed, carefully sealing all cracks and joints.

The video shows how to install a toilet in a country house with a toilet:

Installation instructions

If all the described options do not work and there is a desire to install a professional toilet for a country toilet, then you cannot do without instructions. When purchasing this structure, you need to pay attention to the size of the bowl - if it is too wide or long, it simply will not fit into the outdoor closet. Naturally, it is important to calculate the maximum weight that the floor will support. Consider not only the weight of the structure, but also the weight of the person. If you make a mistake in these calculations, the floorboards simply will not withstand the pressure.

Measuring the height of the toilet seat

How to install a country toilet for a Leroy Merlin outdoor toilet:

1. Considering that almost all Leroy Merlin models are sold with tanks, the first thing you will need to do is remove the drive. If you have a toilet with sewerage and running water, you don’t need to do this. Just connect certain pipes to the water supply system. But, in the event that the bathroom is not connected to the water supply, the tank is dismantled;
2. To remove the tank from the toilet, you need to unscrew two or four bolt connections from the bottom (depending on the model), and check the inside of the tank. This is also how the threaded fastening should be. This can be done using a simple wrench of the appropriate size. Afterwards the tank is carefully removed from the bowl;
3. Attaching the seat to the pedestal is done in the same way as installing a toilet in an apartment or house. The bowl is placed on the floor in the right place - above the hole. For safety reasons, it is covered with plywood or boards. It needs to be outlined around the perimeter using chalk or a marker;
4. The places where the fasteners will be installed are also marked on the drawn outline. Holes for the bolts are also drilled here. After the structure is installed on the platform, bolts are screwed into the joints and secured with nuts; 5. A seat is installed on the toilet. After this, the design is ready for use.

In some cases, the toilet is additionally connected to a septic tank. For example, if there is an extensive sewage system at your summer cottage. Then a wide pipe is attached to the hole in the platform, which leads the waste to the septic tank. To prevent it from clogging, the bowl must be connected to the tank.

This design is more complex to install, but is easy to operate and clean. After all, a toilet without a septic tank, with a simple pit, needs regular cleaning and protection from silting.

Manufacturers and prices

Let's get acquainted with today's most popular manufacturers of modern country toilets and find out the prices for their products.

Installation of different types of toilets

Installing a peat toilet

There is a toilet model that will be not only economical, but also practical. This is a compost (peat) toilet that is installed by plant fertilizer suppliers. Let's consider the 2 best options - conventional and biological.

Setting up a cesspool

To ensure uninterrupted operation of the toilet, it will not be enough to just dig a cesspool and install a platform on top. When using such a makeshift structure, over time, unpleasant aromas will begin to scatter throughout the area. There is still a huge possibility of the walls of the cesspool collapsing.

To avoid this outcome, you should strengthen the walls of the cesspool with cinder blocks/bricks, after which we pour peat into the hole. It will help get rid of unpleasant odors and simplify the processing of waste into fertilizers, the use of which can increase productivity.

A toilet for a summer residence, namely its design, is a combination of two components:

• 
  Lower.

  There is a peat layer in the cesspool, which allows waste to be recycled. It is very important that the pit is closed, otherwise some of the waste will penetrate into the ground and groundwater.
• Upper. There will presumably be a pedestal or seat here. Waste products fall into this part and then pass into the pit. Such a system must be connected to a septic tank.

Both parts of the garden toilet can have different lengths and widths; the dimensions of the structure depend on the needs of the dacha owners. The ideal parameters are a cesspool of at least 1 m and a toilet seat of at least 42 cm.

Attention! The general design diagram of a country toilet looks like this - a toilet seat, a cesspool, a ventilation pipe, a window, a baffle board, holes for pumping out waste, a clay castle.

Every owner of a suburban area should know that for street toilet models to work well, just one cesspool and a platform are not enough. You will also need to work on reliably strengthening the structure so that there is a good foundation and measures have been taken to avoid bad odors.

Please note that for the best effect, after digging, you should line the walls with bricks and then fill the hole with peat. This is an excellent component that removes unpleasant odors and will help with waste recycling.

The installation in this case is quite simple. This almost completely eliminates the possibility of installation errors and inconvenience during use.

Installing a dry closet on peat

But often dry toilets on peat are also installed in summer cottages, since these structures can be moved or installed permanently. Installation of such structures is not difficult and does not require special skills. The work of a peat dry closet is based on composting – with the help of biologically active components, waste becomes compost. The processing activator is peat or a peat mixture with sawdust.

Peat is a component of natural origin that has a huge number of advantages. The main thing is environmental friendliness, safety and the ability to obtain compost at home, which will help fertilize your garden.

A toilet for a country toilet using peat has many advantages:

• portability, namely that the booth can be installed anywhere in the garden plot, namely, it can be moved without the use of specialized equipment.
• It serves perfectly during the construction of a house and all the time while sewerage is being carried out.
• Ease of maintenance and installation.

The design features of a peat-type dry closet have the following basic elements:

• 1st tank (upper). It contains peat and a distribution mechanism.
• 2nd tank (lower ). Waste is processed into a container, the volume of which can be from 45 to 235 liters. A toilet with a lid is installed on this container.
• Ventilation tube. It helps eliminate unpleasant odors.

The excellent functioning of peat-type toilets is possible thanks to well-established biological processes of waste decomposition. All waste enters the 2nd reservoir, mixes with peat, and becomes a feeding ground for microorganisms that process waste into liquid fractions, gaseous elements and solid waste.

When installing the gas component outlet pipe, please note that it must be up to 4 m long and straight. The efficiency of the ventilation process depends on the last factor. Properly chosen design will help reduce the likelihood of unpleasant odors inside and outside the booth.

Plastic toilet for a country toilet and its installation

To save time and get excellent results, you should select models that are made of special modified plastic. Let's look at all the stages of choosing and installing plastic toilets.

Choosing a toilet

Plastic is a relatively inexpensive, wear-resistant, strong and durable material. Factory-ready options will be more expensive than wooden toilet seats, since high-quality PVC is used in production. The most popular manufacturers are rightfully named “Rosa”, “Cerscanit”, “Jika”, “Colombo”, “Slavia”. In such designs for street use there is no “elbow”.

Please note that for a country house option, you should choose a straight plastic toilet so that waste does not linger in it, but goes directly into the compost pit.

The optimal toilet option for an outdoor toilet is a plastic toilet, which has the following advantages:

• 
  Large assortment of colors and shapes.

• Nice appearance.
• Wear resistance and increased strength.
• Lightness (weight), does not put pressure on the floor, which means there is no risk of falling through.
• Ease of use, hygiene.
• Nice price for the product.

You may have some difficulties installing a toilet in your summer cottage in the form of a plastic barrel.

In this case, it would be a good idea to choose the following materials for installation:

• Stainless steel or galvanized sheet . It will be needed to create a transitional part between the oval holes of the toilet bowl and the neck of the round barrel.
• Boards . Will be needed when laying the floor.
• Mastic . It will help create good waterproofing at the joints of structural elements.

Installation of plastic models

There are many models of plastic toilets. Depending on the product and its type, the installation of the structure differs. The simplest is a plastic garden toilet, shaped like a bucket. It is made of durable and reliable material that can withstand loads of up to 160 kg. The top element is a plastic seat.

Installing a country toilet for an outdoor toilet involves installing the equipment on a cesspool of the required size. Sometimes dacha owners have problems if they use not a pit, but a barrel dug into the ground to collect waste. The thing is that the neck of a plastic barrel is always smaller than the inner diameter of the toilet. Moreover, the neck of the barrel is round, and the toilet bowl (its outlet) is oval.

To connect these two connectors, you can use a sheet of stainless steel or galvanized steel, which must be rolled into a funnel shape. In this case, the lower part of the cone must be made so that it matches the diameter of the barrel neck, and the upper part must match the size and shape of the toilet outlet. The same upper part needs to be cut in the form of chamomile petals, and then attached to the floor with self-tapping screws.

We apply car mastic to the joints between the toilet and the floor, which will serve as a sealant. In order for everything to look beautiful after installation, the structure should be attached to the rough flooring, and then the final coating should be laid on it.

Sometimes certain models of country toilets for outdoor toilets do not have fastenings for installation on the floor. In this case, you can make narrow corners from galvanized sheets, and when using them, attach the equipment to the floor.

Installation of a ceramic toilet

Today you can find equipment in the form of standard earthenware products, which are similar to the models used in the country. Their advantages are:

• Ease of use.
• Easy to clean with cleaning products.
• Beautiful appearance.
• Ceramics cannot absorb unpleasant odors.
• Perfect if you install the toilet in an unheated room.

But keep in mind that such products are heavy compared to their dacha counterparts, so they cannot always be used for installation on wooden flooring. Wood sometimes cannot withstand heavy material, which can lead to unpleasant consequences. This is an ideal option for those structures that have a concrete floor.

Beautiful ceramic toilets command a high price, and sometimes the price of one piece of earthenware exceeds all other construction costs.

To install a ceramic toilet in your summer cottage, strengthen the floor in the sanitary unit. Installing heavy equipment on a wooden deck is not practical. There are no inconveniences when servicing these products, and the plus is that the service life is longer and the toilet is more beautiful.

The earthenware product for the outdoor toilet is placed in the place where installation will be carried out and markings are made. After this, the toilet is removed, drilled according to the markings, and then a layer of sealant is applied to the base. When the installation is complete, place the toilet and screw it in place.

Advantages of galvanized steel toilets

The most inexpensive toilet option for an outdoor toilet is a country-type design made of galvanized steel. The advantages of this toilet:

• Easy to install.
• Flexibility.
• Availability.

A steel toilet bowl is a cylinder that has an ideal height for use with allowances at the bottom and top. Its low manufacturing cost makes it very attractive for those who do not visit the dacha very often and do not want to spend a lot of money.

You need to select a pipe with the required parameters (height from 0.4 meters, cross-section from 0.3 meters). Where there are allowances, you need to make small cuts at intervals of 5 cm and bend the ends in the form of a daisy around the entire circumference.

The lower ends are attached to the floor with self-tapping screws, and a pre-prepared sheet of plywood is attached to the upper ends. The width of the sheet must be at least 7 cm. Next, the base is adjusted to the required dimensions, the plastic toilet seat is attached to the top using rivets. We place the resulting structure above the septic tank.

Toilet with toilet

If we can purchase the toilet itself for a price starting from one and a half thousand rubles, then buying a fully equipped country toilet will, of course, cost more. The purchase can be made either on the construction market, or in a specialized store, or ordered on the appropriate website.

Toilet with toilet for a summer residence

The average price of a country toilet equipped with a toilet today varies from 6,000 to 20,000 rubles. If there is a need to carry out all the work on a turnkey basis: with installation, connection and other nuances, then the cost will be no less than 10,000 rubles, up to 25,000 rubles.

And if you want to equip a cesspool with a septic tank at your dacha, then installing such a toilet will cost 15,000-45,000 rubles. But the video from the article will help you understand what the cabins with shower and toilet will look like, and whether it is possible to install a regular toilet there.

Installation procedure

Installation of a country toilet consists of firmly screwing it to the floor with dowels or self-tapping screws.

Some models do not have holes for fastening - then the toilet is screwed using sheet steel corners: one shelf is screwed to the floor, the second - with self-tapping screws to the product.

If the attachment to the floor does not seem secure, you can additionally screw the top part to the wall using a clamp or staples.

Installation becomes more complicated if a barrel with a neck smaller than the toilet outlet is used to collect waste.

In this case, an adapter in the form of a cone must be made from galvanized steel or stainless steel, which is attached to the toilet with a wide socket, and inserted into the neck of the barrel with a narrow socket.

Obviously, to clean the storage tank, the toilet bowl will have to be unscrewed from time to time. To get rid of this need, it is advisable to make a hatch with a hinged lid in the floor of the toilet to remove waste.

Cleaning

Once you have acquired a toilet at your dacha, you should not forget about the need to regularly clean this facility. We will find out what stages of cleaning work need to be taken.

Firstly, each time you need to first make sure that cleaning is really necessary. The process is not the most pleasant, so it is logical to carry it out when there is a real need for it.

Prepare all the necessary tools and equipment needed to successfully complete the job. Clean the pit using either mechanical or chemical methods. If you use the second option, the need to dismantle and subsequently install the toilet is eliminated.

If you have never performed such work and do not want to undertake it (which is not surprising), it is best to call a sewage disposal service, whose workers will clean it professionally, quickly and at a time convenient for you.

We looked at the features of arranging a country toilet with a toilet. As you can see, it is quite possible to have amenities in your dacha comparable to those of a city apartment. Modern manufacturers and high-tech materials give buyers the opportunity to equip their dacha in the most comfortable and, at the same time, inexpensive way.

Toilet design features - which is more suitable

If the exhaust system and flushing system are defined, then design features can also be considered. The quality of the flush also depends on the shape of the toilet bowl. They have the following classification.

1. Funnel-shaped toilet bowls. It is considered the most successful design. Its advantages include hygiene and economical water consumption. But it has its drawback. In this type of design, a large amount of splashes is generated when flushed. Manufacturers are making attempts to eliminate this deficiency, but so far these attempts have not brought results.
2. Next comes a visor-type bowl. It is recognized as the best option for modern toilets that flush well. In addition, they are comfortable to use. You don't need to make any special efforts to maintain it. At the same time, the amount of unpleasant odors in such toilets is reduced.
3. The last option for toilet bowls is plate-shaped. They are familiar to many from the times of the Soviet Union. All of the above advantages of more modern bowls are absent here. That is, here we get the presence of unpleasant odors, frequent cleaning of plumbing fixtures, and the possibility of water accumulation, which leads to rust. The only advantages include the absence of splashes and when washed off, paper and other debris sink well. Their design assumes the presence of a horizontal “shelf”. Today this is considered the least aesthetic option.

Self-production

A homemade toilet cannot compete with a purchased one in terms of aesthetic merits. But during its manufacture, the user has the opportunity to choose the most suitable shape and size for himself. Let's consider several options.

Toilet with storage for powder closet

In such a toilet, the role of waste storage will be played by a large bucket of 10 liters or more.

On top of it you will need to lay a panel made of boards with a hole, which will serve as the basis for the seat and lid.

The panel should be easily removable to allow the user to empty the bucket once it is full.

Next to such a toilet you need to install a tank for storing ash, peat or sawdust. Instead of a dispenser, you need to place a regular scoop next to the tank - with its help, the waste will be powdered with a portion of bulk material.

Waste sprinkled with dusty material does not immediately turn into fertilizer. That is, they need to be unloaded from the bucket not onto the beds, but into the compost pit, where further decomposition will take place.

Metal-based toilet seat

Very quickly, a toilet seat for an outdoor toilet can be made from a sheet of galvanized steel. In addition, it will be more durable than wood.

Here's how to proceed:

1. A rectangular blank with the required dimensions is cut out of the sheet.
2. Roll the workpiece into a cylinder, fastening the edges brought together with rivets. The diameter of the cylinder must be larger than the diameter of the opening of the receiving tank.
3. One side of the cylinder is divided into strips with longitudinal cuts, which are then folded back like a chamomile.

This structural element will serve as the basis for fastening a panel made of boards or plywood, on which the seat with a lid will be installed.

Wooden toilet seat

It is a cabinet that is made as follows: first, a frame is knocked together from bars, then it is sheathed with plywood or boards. A hole is cut out in the upper part and a seat with a lid is then attached here.

Folding toilet seat with plastic seat
