Washbasin for giving

How to make an outdoor washbasin with your own hands

There is such a category of people who prefer many things in the country and not only do it with their own hands from improvised means. For some, the main criterion for such work is saving money, for others - interest and pastime. Both of them will benefit from the next part of the article.

A homemade washbasin can be built as follows. We measure the sink that you are going to install (you can adapt the old kitchen sink left after the repair in the apartment, or buy a new one). Even an enameled basin or a stainless steel tub can be adapted as a sink, the main thing is to provide a hole for draining the water.

We carry out a framework of a design from fittings, a corner or a tree. We use any possible supports that you have available. The metal frame of a non-working sewing machine inherited from my grandmother will look great. Build a countertop, decorate it with tiles, install a sink on top, and you will have a real masterpiece.

As a countertop for the sink, if desired, you can use an old secretary table or even a chest of drawers. And how original the barrel will look as a washbasin cabinet.

The structure of wooden bars can be folded. Such a washbasin is easy to store in the winter, not only in the shed, but also in the house, since it will take up very little space. Be smart and creative.

Comfortable installation height of the sink is 830-900 mm from the floor or ground level. Almost any container of the required volume is suitable for the tank, it can be a plastic canister and even a tin bucket. It is enough to install a crane and build a lid to prevent debris from entering the container.

We attach the tank to the frame above the level of the sink. Thinking about a drain. If your design is portable, then it is advisable to use a removable container (bucket) for its unhindered emptying. Although in this case, you can make your life easier and not lift weights. Install a drain cock at the bottom of the tank. Put a hose on the faucet and divert dirty water to the desired part of the site or cesspool. If the washbasin is stationary, and there is a cesspool on the site, then connect the drain and bring it into the sewer pipe.

If you decide that your homemade outdoor washbasin needs water heating, then this problem is easy to solve. On sale, you can buy a separately heated tank and install it on your design.

Creative natures can always make a very beautiful piece of interior or exterior out of nothing. A dacha washbasin made with love from improvised means will not be inferior to the industrial counterpart in terms of functionality, but will be able to surpass it in aesthetic terms.

Your exclusive option will certainly not meet in the neighboring area, like a twin brother. And from neighbors and guests you can hear a pleasant compliment addressed to you.

What to consider when choosing a product

First of all, you need to be guided by your needs, and the tasks that are set for the washbasin. If you just need to rinse your hands after working with the ground, then the simplest washbasin, which is easy to make yourself, will do. If there is a desire to install a washbasin in the house, then it is better to immediately install the device with heating so that you can wash both your hands and dishes.

When choosing the volume of the tank, it is necessary to take into account the load of the system, how many people will use it. For a country option on the street, a tank of five liters is suitable, and if there are more than two people in the house, then you need to choose a tank of ten liters or more.

When choosing a material, you need to rely on your taste.A plastic product does not undergo corrosive changes, but is inferior in strength to a metal device, and plastic also burns out in the sun. Metal products are more practical, the service life is longer, they do not rust from water, they do not fade over time. But more expensive than plastic designs. The curbstone is advised to be made of wood, and the wooden tank will last a little.

How to build a washbasin drain system outdoors

Provided that the washbasin is located near the house, it is possible to connect the device to the sewer system. If it is difficult to bring the structure to the sewer, then a wastewater tank is installed. To build a drain device, you need a two-hundred-liter barrel, we dig a trench under it, insert a barrel into it. Holes must be made over the entire surface of the container. A barrel for one third of it is covered with layers of sand, gravel, large stones. We close the barrel itself well and fill it with soil so that no one can fall into it. Next, you need to run a flexible hose or pipe from the washbasin to the barrel, through which water will flow into the well.

Homemade design from a syringe and a bottle.

The device of such a washbasin is considered the simplest

First, remove the bottle cap to make a hole in the cap equal to the size of the syringe. It is best to take a two and a half cube size syringe. Cut off the tip of the syringe where the needle is inserted. We also cut off the upper part of the syringe, the tube remains. We insert the syringe into the prepared hole on the lid with a tube inside the bottle, it is necessary that it fits tightly into the lid to avoid leaks.

We string the cap on the bottle, cutting off the bottom of the bottle in advance in order to pour water into it.

We attach the washbasin to a vertical surface and you can use it. To stop the water supply, the piston is pulled out to the stop.

Do-it-yourself washbasins

The external device of the wash basin depends on the functional features of the device and its location. To create a design with your own hands, you need to have the desire and time, some skills to work with tools and improvised means.

There are a lot of options for creating washbasins for giving, although many represent a primitive tank for draining on the wall of a bathhouse or at home. Types of devices differ in the material from which they are made, dimensions, design.

There are several ways to divert water:

1. into a container under the sink, from which water is periodically poured.
2. into a pipe leading to a drain pit or outside the boundaries of the site.

Sometimes it is possible to supply water for filling to such devices and install a heating system. There are several types of such washbasins: located on a cabinet or countertop, having a filling system or a heating function.

Home washbasins are made of stainless steel, plastic, rarely wood. Devices made of wood have worse technical characteristics than structures made of other materials. Plastic and stainless steel do not corrode, it is almost impossible to damage.

Washbasin with filling system

In another way, this design can be attributed to hanging washbasins. The device includes a tank with a tap for regulating the water supply, fastening for the tank. The tank is filled with water independently as needed, by pressing the lever or opening the tap, the water comes from the tank. The tank must be periodically washed from limescale, remove the structure for the winter.

Reference! A bulk washbasin usually has a volume of up to five liters, mounted on any stable structure.

The device is used for washing hands and face, mounted in a convenient place outside the room. You can buy a finished product inexpensively, or you can create a design with your own hands, for example, from a plastic bottle or canister.

Washbasin with cabinet

In the people, such a design is called Moidodyr.The device has a solid base, and a large size, it can be used both in the house and outside. The model consists of a massive pedestal on which a cistern with a sink is attached. There is a cabinet under the sink where you can put your toiletries away.

The tank capacity is large, water is supplied to the tank using pipes or manually. Inside the cabinet, you can hide a bucket for wastewater. In such a sink, it is easy to wash dishes, hands, wash.

The structure installed on the street should be removed in winter to avoid damage to the cabinet, since it is most often made of wood.

Washbasin with stand

A simplified way of organizing a Moidodyr-type washbasin. The design is based on a rack, has a tank, but not always a sink. The design is a metal or wooden rack, on which a sink with a tank is attached. The supporting legs are sprinkled with earth for strength. Such a washbasin does not require special operating conditions, you can place the structure in any convenient place on the site.

The tank can have a large volume of up to fifteen liters, a tap for water supply is also installed, which adds to the ease of use.

Washbasin with water heating function

For comfortable washing and washing dishes, it is better to install a washbasin with a heating system. The heated washbasin works with the help of a heating element, which works like a water boiler. A tank filled with water is connected to an outlet, the water in it heats up.

The heating mechanism is different. It can simply be lowered into the tank water. Or be located in a special pipe inside the tank. The first version of the heater is cheaper and more common. A tank with such a system must be periodically cleaned from scale formation.

Washbasin from a plastic bottle

The need for invention is cunning - this is just about such cases when convenient and necessary things are created, one might say, from garbage. Making a washbasin from a plastic bottle with your own hands is easy and simple. You will need an empty bottle, a knife, wire or twine, or a simple bracket-type holder. You can take a one and a half liter bottle, however, a washbasin from a 5 liter bottle will be more convenient.

So, all the details are ready. Let's get started. First you need to choose a place where you hang or attach a homemade washstand. It is advisable to fix it strictly vertically and so that the structure does not sway with gusts of wind. Next, cut the bottom of the bottle around the circumference, and leave the cap-cap closed. From the sides of the cut, you can make two holes and do something like a rocker handle made of wire or rope, for which you can hang the washbasin.

You can also fix the bottle with a bracket or holder. That's all, the do-it-yourself bottle washbasin is ready for use. It is very easy to regulate the water by unscrewing the cap slightly or harder.

You can “improve” the model a little by inserting half of the syringe into the cap and securely fixing it with sealant tape or glue. Then, when the syringe plunger (valve lever) is extended, water will flow.

Below we give several photo options, as well as a video on how to make a washbasin from a bottle with your own hands.

Wash basins from a plastic bottle

The simplest homemade washstand

From a plastic bottle, you can make several types of simple washbasins for giving. It all depends on how long you need this design. If you need a washbasin for the duration of the plumbing repair or at a picnic, then even a schoolboy can make it. You will need a plastic container from 2 to 5 liters, in which you need to cut off the bottom. Moreover, if you do not cut to the end, then you can leave the bottom as a hinged lid, which will protect against debris and insects. The bottle must be fixed on a vertical support. Now let's decide on the crane. You can attach a pressure spout to the neck, but many people use a regular lid.During washing, the lid is slightly unscrewed until water flows, and then twisted back. The clamping nose can be made independently from a nail with a wide hat. The hat will play the role of a plug inside the container.

Washbasin with dispenser ↑

There is an interesting design using a plastic bottle and a disposable syringe. Instead of a dispenser, a piston from a syringe of the appropriate size is used. Such a washstand can be used without fear of spilling excess water at a picnic or hung in the garden of a summer cottage.

General information

What is the difference between washbasins in summer cottages and stationary structures

A device that performs the functions of maintaining human hygiene consists of a small structure that is connected to a drainage and sewerage system. The washbasin is a tank and a sink, in some designs there is none. The sink can be installed on a countertop, cabinet or attached to the wall. The volumes of the tank for filling water differ from what load the sink carries and its purpose. In any case, unlike apartment devices, such washbasins are small.

In hand-assembled structures, the tank, after being emptied, is independently filled with water. In order for water to pour from the tank, they act on the lever or open the faucet.

What do-it-yourself washbasins are

To organize a washbasin structure, first of all, it is necessary to decide what functional load the device will have, what communication options for its installation are available, correlate the washbasin area with the dimensions of a country house and a plot.

If there is no house on the summer cottage, and the land holdings are small, then the simplest type of washbasin will do, consisting of a mini-cistern that is hung on a tree or pole. The container for the tank can be bought ready-made, you can make it yourself.

A heated washbasin is considered more comfortable for use, it is possible to wash and wash dishes in it.

If the country house is landscaped, and there is a dream to create an exquisite but functional washbasin, then you will have to spend your time implementing the idea.

If there is little time for arranging a washbasin for washing hands, then a device with a stem will do, you can build it from improvised means.

To heat the water in the washbasin, a heating element is used; it automatically heats the water of the required volume. A washbasin that requires heating is more often installed inside the house, as it requires a connection to the power supply, but you can organize its work on the street. The device can have a tank up to twenty liters, and is made of stainless steel, plastic. For more global purposes, such as taking a shower, this design is not suitable due to its small size.

Before installing the washbasin, it is necessary to consider not only a convenient place for use, but also its location next to the drainage system, where water from the tank will drain. This may be a ditch dug directly under the device, or a pipe from the sewer network. The presence of sewerage in the summer cottage implies the presence of an equipped bathroom in the house.

When arranging a ditch type of drainage, it is necessary to pour crushed stone on the bottom of a small trench to prevent the formation of splashes in different directions.

DIY garden washbasin

The owner with "golden hands" can make a washbasin for giving with his own hands. Even a child can do some options, but a real master can create a design that will become his pride.

The simplest option is a five-liter plastic bottle, fixed on a support with its neck down. The bottom of the bottle needs to be cut off - water will be poured here. The flow of water will be regulated by unscrewing the cork on the neck. Such a washbasin can be built in Spartan conditions on an uninhabited area, this does not require special tools and starting materials.

A more complicated option is a hanging tank from a bucket. Any bucket will do - plastic, nylon, metal. For a tap, you need to drill a hole in the bottom of the tank or on the side. A shackle is installed in the hole, which is fixed with lock nuts on the outer and inner sides. A crane is attached to the shed. The structure is ready. For convenience, a sink can be installed under the container. Such washbasins can be decorated according to your taste. They will perfectly fit into the country-style design of the suburban area. By the same principle, you can equip an outdoor shower on the site.

If you have a desire to make a washbasin with a cabinet with your own hands, then the flight of fantasy can be unlimited. Under the cabinet you can use:

• old desk,
• stand from under the old sewing machine,
• dresser,
• rare buffet, etc.

A decorated barrel looks very original as a cabinet.

The cabinet can be made from wooden bars, and the design can be foldable and portable.

As sinks, already used apartment options are usually used. Often they still look decent, but fashion dictates its own rules, and old sinks are sent to the country. Aluminum or copper basins look spectacular as a sink.

Any non-leaking container can serve as a tank:

• bucket;
• barrel;
• old manual washing machine;
• plastic canister.

The waste water can be drained into a bucket under the washbasin. The drain can be improved by running drain pipes to a dug hole at the end of the site.

When the materials are decided, you can start assembling.

1. Attach a faucet to the tank.
2. Install and secure the tank on the support.
3. In the cabinet or countertop, prepare a hole for the size of the existing sink. If a basin is used, then a drain hole will suffice.
4. Place the cabinet firmly and secure the sink to it.
5. Arrange a drain for used water.
6. Decorate the entire structure to your liking.

The presence of a washbasin in the country or in the garden will make your stay there more comfortable. You can always wash your hands and freshly picked vegetables from the garden. If you creatively approach the choice of a washbasin, then it will simply fulfill its main function, but it will also become the highlight of the entire summer cottage.
