Water supply

Very often in the suburban area there is a need to build a bathroom and a room for a shower. The construction of two buildings takes a lot of time and is costly, so you can consider the option of placing two objects under the same roof, this solution allows you to optimize the workflow and spend it in the shortest time possible. We will consider how to build a country toilet with a shower with your own hands, even if you do not have experience in carrying out such work.

In the photo: the design can be made of a variety of materials, but the tree occupies a leading position due to availability and reasonable cost.

Planning features

On our site you can find a variety of drawings of country toilets and showers, or on the basis of any option to develop your project. It depends on many factors:

Construction area	Many developers are so eager to save space that they erect structures of too small size, which affects the convenience and functionality of the structure. It is better to make rooms with a margin so that you do not squeeze through sideways.
Layout	Most often, the design of the dacha shower and toilet is extremely simple: a rectangular building with two doors for each of the rooms, but if you prefer, you can also make more functional options with a porch or a room for storing household equipment and tools. It all depends on your preferences and the availability of free space.
Location	Very much depends on where the building will be located, since it is important what space is at your disposal and from which side the entrance will be located. Sometimes an extension option is the only solution, but we recommend building a shower with a toilet separately.
Manufacturing material	Some options for building materials provide the embodiment of any design, and some, such as bricks, require a solid foundation and certain skills. We will consider the option of using wood, as the most simple and easy to work for inexperienced builders.

Note! It is better if in the planning you provide a bench in the shower and a sink, this increases the functionality of the building and makes its use more convenient.

Workflow Description

We will look at how to build a cottage toilet and a shower with your own hands step by step, this will allow you to better understand all the nuances. It is important to do everything neatly and in the correct sequence.

Preparatory work

At this stage it is necessary to do the following activities:

Stock up on all the necessary materials., in our case, it is a brick for strengthening the cesspool, cement and crushed stone for the foundation and wood for the main building: for the framework - a bar with a section of 50x50 or more, and for trimming an edging board or wall paneling of any configuration. For roofing, you can use either slate or any other material of this type.

The board must be dry, otherwise it will deform after fastening

Next you need to bring all the required communications., it is better to make the water supply system from the HDPE pipe, and the drainage from the shower can be connected to the general system if it is available or to make a drain well (old tires from trucks or agricultural equipment can be used).
The layout of the location of the future construction must be carried out in advance., do not forget that it will not be superfluous to lay a track to the building if it is not already there.
Works begin with digging cesspool, the larger it is, the less often it will be necessary to call the equipment for pumping out, so that the walls do not collapse and the drains do not fall into the ground around the object, it is recommended to strengthen the structure with brickwork. Special beauty is not needed here, so any person will cope with the work, it is important to make high-quality masonry mortar, so that the building is strong after setting.

So ideally, a cesspool should look like in your building.

Next, you can proceed to the device foundation, it can be either columnar or tape, the second option is preferable in view of greater reliability and durability. A trench is being dug around the perimeter to a depth of 50-60 cm wide, 20 cm wide, a solution of cement and crushed stone is poured into it (all the necessary proportions of the components are given by the instructions on the package). It is advisable to fill the foundation and in the place of passage of the partition between the toilet and shower, this will make the structure stronger.

It is advisable to make a small formwork to the base was 10-20 cm above ground level.

Tip! If you decide to make a columnar foundation, then make supports measuring 30x30 cm and deepen them about 60-70 cm into the ground. The spacing of the elements from one to one and a half meters.

Erection box

For a set of concrete strength should take about two weeks, only after that you can continue to work.

Their sequence is as follows:

First of all, the framework of the base is made, it must be reliable. Therefore, it is better to use the beam more powerful, preferably with a section of 100x100, this will provide strength and high bearing capacity of the base, which is very important.

It is important that the bottom timber is as reliable as possible.

Next, you can install vertical racks of the desired height and connect them with jumpers. In order for the elements to maintain the correct position, they need to be further strengthened with braces. The design is assembled in accordance with the project, it is important to secure the mount, it is best to use screws, rather than nails, they provide excellent fixation.
After the erection of the box, the truss system is arranged, it is quite simple, so the work will not cause difficulties even with a lack of experience. Below are the main options for the device systems, you need to choose the one that is easiest to implement on your site.

Shed roofs are much simpler than dual slopes.

Further, the roofing material is fastened, it can be both budget slate, and more attractive metal tile or soft roofing, their price is higher, but the look is much better. The price of the project will also increase due to the fact that the roof surface needs to be sheathed with sheets of moisture-resistant plywood or special plates before laying the materials.
The lining of the structure with wood can only be done from the outside, but we recommend doing it from two sides, and placing a heater inside for heat and sound insulation.

Conclusion

To implement the project of a country toilet with a shower in his area on the strength of any developer. It is important to know the main features of the workflow. The video in this article will help you understand some of the important nuances and understand the process even better.
