Modern man can no longer imagine his life without amenities. At the cottage, in a country house or at a recreation center, hands get dirty permanently, irritated by sweat and eternal dust. It’s not always possible to pour water on each other’s hands, it is easier to spend a little time, but to equip basic amenities.

Constructions of devices

Today, some still remember what the device looked like that served faithfully for more than one generation. Moreover, it is still possible to find a hanging iron assistant at a local flea market. Such things are not only antiques, but also a durable interior element, simple and of high quality.

What to choose

2. The product is more serious is a pedestal with a capacity of arbitrary volume and the like of a sink.. The design adds convenience, now the washbasin can be transported by installing anywhere in the yard or garden.
3. Often the tank for the sink is equipped with a clamping pin with a magnet. It fixes the nose in the up position until you lower it yourself, stopping the flow of water.

3. In the store, you can even pick up a compact marching foldable washbasin, He will occupy a minimum of space in the trunk or backpack.

Choose the right place

The location of the device depends on your preferences, conditions and material of which the water tank is made.

1. If it is more convenient for you to take water procedures, having come after work or having woken up in the morning, locate the structure closer to the house.
2. Anyone who prefers to spend most of his free time in the beds can be advised to wash in close proximity to the workplace.
3. Fans of warm water have a washbasin tank in the sun for a good warm up. Capacity with iron is needed, as the plastic softens quickly.

1. Washing in cool water in the early morning is wonderful in a cozy, shady corner, next to the porch.

Note! Try to pick a dry area, especially if you do not plan to sewage drains. So that there are no puddles and dirt under the washbasin, it is easiest to pour a layer of gravel, then there will be no splashing on your feet.

Improvised convenience

Of course, the easiest way to go to the store and buy a finished device. But since there is nothing cheap to find today and the price of every little thing is great, it is much more profitable to organize comfort on your own.

Now we will look at how to quickly make a fairly large washbasin out of available tools.

Take a walk around the cottage and try to find an empty plastic barrel or canister. Perhaps such one is lying around in your pantry without work.

If a barrel is planned - a large wash basin, select a suitable container. Any material other than non-galvanized iron will do. Unprotected metal will quickly rust and leak.

Prepare a thick wire, bolts with rubber washers, a hacksaw for metal, a drill and pliers with a screwdriver.

Note! To make a full-fledged sink, buy or allocate for use a plastic bowl or a cup with sloping edges of 3-10 liters. Even better, if an old sink was stuck in the yard, now it is most welcome.

Getting Started

1. Clear the place and install the old plastic barrel bottom up, slightly dug it into the ground.
2. The bottom of the future bollard is cut out either completely or with consideration of the shell size. If you insert a basin, make a hole under it a little less than the diameter of its bottom.

1. A hole is drilled in the basin itself to drain the used water. In the case of planned sewage, adjust the drain hole to the size of the sgon.
2. Gravel is poured on the ground under the sink inside the cabinet for good moisture absorption. After which the sink is installed.
3. Now you can start to install a water supply tank with your own hands. The most elementary thing is to adapt a 5 liter oil bottle from drinking water.

1. The bottom of the bottle is cut off, but not completely, so that it opens, but is not completely removed. Then the future cover will not be lost, will not fly off and protect from debris and leaves.
2. To prevent plastic from deforming, make a primitive wire frame and try on a blank to a rack or tree (depending on where the container hangs).
3. The tank is screwed to the rack with screws and rubber washers. This will prevent leakage.
4. In the side of the bottle cap, burn a small hole with a red-hot nail or awl. In the screwed position, the cover will block the jet; slightly unscrewing it, you can adjust the flow.
5. Slightly more complicated is the version with a faucet from the washing machine, it is fixed from below, and then not forgetting about the gaskets.

Note! This homemade wash basin is especially practical for a camping, a summer residence or a yard of a country house. The thumbs and the tank painted with waterproof paint will add attractiveness to the construction.

Washing device

This is almost a summer shower, although its grandeur is directly dependent on the volume of the tank. Under a full bath, you will need at least 50 liters, and to just rinse - a wash basin 20l is quite suitable. The material can be galvanized iron, aluminum or plastic.

Initially, you need to assemble a rack with a canister-frame holder. It is good if there is a welding machine and metal pipes on hand. As an alternative - prefabricated construction of the corners or channels, bolted together.

It is recommended that the legs of the rack be dug in and concreted for the strength of the base. In any case, the instruction cautions against unfair work. Filled with water, a barrel overhead can collapse on the shower shower, and this will please few people.

The place for the bathing person is covered with gravel and lay a wooden board on top. You can bring the drain to the cesspool, if there is one nearby.

It is undesirable to use waste water for irrigation, detergents and shampoos will harm the plants.
