If you do not have the opportunity or desire to carry out water supply to the country, then there is an alternative - to install an autonomous device for washing hands - a wash basin. You can do it yourself or purchase it. Of your choice.

In this article you will learn how to choose a washbasin and how to make a washbasin for your own use from improvised means, what are the approximate costs. No special installation skills are needed. Here you can take a look at the photo of the washstand in the country.

DIY washbasin

Craftsmen will not miss the opportunity to make a country wash basin with their own hands, relying on their talent. A very easy way, accessible for a child, is to make it from a medium-sized plastic bottle. Cut off the bottom of the bottle, if necessary, cut off completely to get a shape similar to the attached lid of the kettle, turn upside down and, wrapping a neck or bottom around with a wire or rope, tie it to a tree trunk or support.

Then let the cap of the bottle itself play the role of a tap: open a little - the water flowed in a thin stream, close it - the water does not leak. The design is suitable for a completely uninhabited environment where there are no buildings.


The second way to assemble the wash basin is to take a bucket that will serve as a water reservoir. For this purpose, any bucket is suitable, even from plastic, even from metals, it is important that it has a lid to cover the container and that no dirt from the environment enters it.

To get water out of the bucket, we outline a place, most often - at the bottom of the bucket or on the side, and drill a hole, it is better - from the bottom so that not a drop of stagnant water remains in the bucket. After we insert the plumbing fixture into the hole, fix it with two locknuts, not forgetting to put two gaskets.

We fasten a tap or valve to the flare and fix the tank either on racks or on the wall, although it can also be on a pole. For more convenient use, it is desirable to put some kind of sink under the container, and substitute a bucket under it to prevent the used water from spilling.

It must be added that in the same way it is possible to make a tank in a country house of any size and designed for any purpose.

Very often, inventors, summer residents can surprise themselves with their ingenuity. They use all sorts of tanks, bathtubs, 100-liter tanks for the water-saving function, and the sink, as a rule, is installed in a very old house that has outlived its past, but still has a pretty good look.

A certain inventor developed and implemented a washbasin with a foot squeezed out of water - the drive is placed below, and by pressing the foot on a special rubber bulb, which connects to the tank with a pipe, and because of the created pressure, water is poured out. It is very useful and convenient when you can not grab the handles.

If warm water is required

Heated washbasin is more pleasant and acceptable for giving. In the absence of water supply in the summer cottage, it will not only reduce difficulties due to its absence, and even heat it, which is very important in the cold. It is better to install it in the garden house, in a convenient place for the consumer, in the middle of the house or on the terrace, closer to the place where the heater outlet is located.


A small heating element works as a heating device. Some models of a country washbasin with heating are equipped with a thermal control device and can automatically turn off if the water reaches the set temperature.Usually, washbasins of this type are made to look like a tall pedestal, on which a container of water hangs on top.

The drain bucket used to drain dirty water is located at the bottom of the cabinet itself, exactly under the sink. Such a design is similar to the moydodyr washbasin, thus producing a washbasin with a pedestal.

On the water tank is a washbasin faucet, similar to the taps we used to use at home. The heated washstand is made of plastic, and the steel profile is made of stainless steel, it can be quickly disassembled or assembled. Easy to carry even in the car trunk.

Cottage washbasins on a rack

Among the many outdoor washbasins and washbasins that are hung on something, are installed more often outside, there are tanks with a metal support.

Thanks to pressing the foot on the metal lever located at the bottom of the support, the horns dig into the ground, which makes it possible for the washstand to stand anywhere on the site where there is a loose surface, regardless of the availability of supports nearby, they become very convenient. Such a washstand can be put at least in the center of the site among different plants.


Washbasins outside the house

A street wash basin will always be needed in every cottage, in any suburban area. Pick it up is not a problem at all. Having bought a washstand, look first of all at what it was made from.

In the country, the most suitable is a stainless steel washstand and a plastic frame, because in this case it will not deteriorate from the water. A wooden frame, on the contrary, will decay relatively quickly.

Regarding the design, the wash basin with a nightstand and a heater is most preferred, as it is much more convenient, but its biggest drawback is the current consumption. If you appear in the country only in the summer, the usual hanging washbasin is enough for you.

We are all very accustomed to the advantages of living in a civilized world, because the disappearance of any of them brings us too much unpleasant inconvenience and irritation.

In the absence of a centralized water supply at the cottage, there is an urgent need for a reservoir to store water in order to wash food, wash hands and face.

Whatever the wash basin in the garden, even with a heater or an ordinary barrel with a faucet, it will definitely add at least a little comfort during your stay in the country. About what are the main varieties of washbasins for cottages, why they are produced, how to choose it or how to construct it yourself, we examined above, it only remains for you to make a choice: buy or make it yourself.

Having a summer cottage, and on it a washstand, you deprive yourself of problems associated with dirty hands after work on the ground, and therefore from the danger of contracting worms. And if you add a wide curbstone to it, heating, then you will add a level of comfort in the country.
