Construction of a toilet for cottages: a list of useful recommendations

Preparing for the construction of a toilet for a dacha

Any preparation begins with the choice of a place for the construction of a toilet. The device assumes the presence of a cesspool. It can be made with your own hand using a conventional shovel. The main thing is to choose the right place.

There are certain requirements for the choice of position:

• The foundation of the toilet should be laid on absolutely flat ground. Only a small inclination of the earth is permissible. A flat surface reduces the "inundation" of a cesspool from groundwater



• It is worthwhile to have a toilet at a distance of at least 10 meters from the house and buildings. Particular attention should be paid to the cesspool sources of water
• It is advisable to create a shadow for the country toilet. Recommend to build next to the trees. It is better not to build a toilet when exposed to high temperatures.



• The toilet is built on a suitable substrate. Its structure should not be too stony or soft. It is not necessary to design a structure on the site with deep pits( cellar, cellar, etc.)
• If necessary, you can consult with an

specialist Toilet planning: drawing and construction type selection

Design and selection of the type of construction of the cottage toilet are largely determined by the choice of construction material. There are enough options. It is not necessary to describe everything. It is necessary to get acquainted with the most common species in detail.
Popular recently is a Finnish toilet or toilet room with a peat foundation construction. These species belong to the biocategory.

In any case, the structure of the toilet implies the presence of standard components:

• Fundamental basis;
• Wall;
• Roofs;
• Interior finishes.

The difference is the presence of a cesspool.

The complexity of the construction of the cottage toilet depends on the material. A brick used is often used as a source of construction. This is the best option for those wishing to build a solid "construction".A similar option can be implemented with their own hands, without the involvement of specialists.
Brick toilet is a reliable building that can stand for more than one year and withstand any climatic conditions. The only condition is the right foundation. The brick has a significant weight and requires a solid foundation. Plus - a reliable roof. For a country toilet from brick there must be a suitable roofing system.

The next view is wooden. It is difficult to call the design of long-term use. The wooden structure of the toilet walls under the influence of external factors quickly collapses and requires careful care.

The country toilet made of metal has the main property - speed of construction. Using metal sheets, it is possible to construct it in a short period of time. It is important - to purchase the necessary fasteners and accurately measure the parameters of the walls and the construction skin.

It is important to note: If you want, you can use the purchase of ready-made toilet structures.

How to build a toilet for a summer residence: advice

It is necessary to adhere to a certain order of actions:

1. Prepare a design drawing, calculate the necessary parameters of the toilet, its length and width. The project should include all the components of the structure: foundation, walls, roof
2. Calculate the amount of costs for building materials
3. Determine the location of the toilet
4. Prepare the necessary materials and tools
5. Select the type of pit. It can be a septic tank and a cesspool. It depends on the arrangement of the country yard( presence or absence of an unpleasant smell).The depth of the pit is chosen independently, it is important to strengthen it - it is laid the foundation for the construction of the toilet
6. The foundation is laid thoroughly. It can be presented from concrete blocks or the iron framework
7. The next step is the erection of a framework for the walls. Their construction depends on the type of material used. When deciding to finish the toilet with a metal profile, it is important to prepare a crate. The design of the walls influences the choice of roofing material. Do not forget about the load-bearing wall that takes over the weight of the roof.



8. The strength of all listed elements depends on the quality of the roof. Not leaking roofing guarantees the dryness of the walls, the absence of mold and dampness in the toilet room. The roof of even such a small building should be performed according to the classical scheme and have all the necessary elements:
   • rafters;
   • crate;
   • hydro and thermal insulation;
   • roofing.

   

9. The interior is worthy of attention - from the finishing of the walls and ending with the arrangement of the seating. Everything depends on the owner's preferences. To date, construction stores offer a huge number of "decoration elements" for the arrangement of the internal space of the building

The summer house is used mainly in the summer. It is important to thoroughly approach the construction of the toilet in case it is used in the winter. It is worth thinking about the insulation of the walls. This can be done by different options - polystyrene, mineral wool with additional use of hydro- and heat-insulating film.
