When you buy a composting toilet from Free Range Designs, you're not buying a factory kit. You're buying 25 years of hard-won knowledge about what actually works — built by hand in Wales, and trusted by allotments, campsites, schools and smallholders across the UK. The Bog Standard is our most popular composting toilet building: no-nonsense, beautifully made, and designed to last decades in real outdoor conditions.
Yes, you can find cheaper composting toilets. But cheaper means thinner timber, flimsier fittings, and a structure that looks tired within a few seasons. Our toilets are built from quality timber, properly jointed, with the attention to detail that only comes from making the same thing — and making it better — for over two decades. This is a composting toilet built to be used every day, not admired once and forgotten.
Two Size Options
Choose the configuration that suits your site:
-
Reduced-height — uses 200-litre wheelie bins, lower building with one step. Ideal for tighter spaces or lower-footfall sites.
-
Full-height — uses 240-litre wheelie bins, taller building with three steps. Better suited to higher-volume use.
Key Features
-
Genuinely odour-free — a built-in urine separator diverts liquid waste away from solids, eliminating smell entirely. The collected urine can be used as a liquid fertiliser.
-
No water, no electricity — fully off-grid. Perfect for allotments, woodland sites, festival grounds, and anywhere mains services aren't an option.
-
Wheelie bin waste system — solid waste drops into a wheelie bin below, making emptying simple and hygienic. No digging, no mess, no fuss.
-
Handmade in Wales — every joint, every board, every fitting is chosen and assembled by our team. Not a kit. Not a catalogue product.

Delivery
Your compost toilet is delivered flat-pack on an oversized pallet by a national pallet courier, which is both cost-effective and included in the price.
Delivery is curbside — the driver will bring the pallet to the nearest point accessible by road, but won't cross fields or soft ground. Because the pallet is oversized, it can't be lowered on a tail lift and needs to be taken from the side of the lorry.
If you have access to a forklift or tractor, that's ideal — you can fork the pallet straight off and move it directly to your installation spot. If not, no problem at all: just have two people available on the day to help handball the panels down from the lorry. It's straightforward, and many of our customers manage without any machinery.
If you'd prefer a personal delivery and installation service, please get in touch to discuss.
