The Bog Standard is the composting toilet we've built more of than any other — a simple, waterless, single-chamber loo in a timber building, the design that has gone onto campsites, allotments, smallholdings and off-grid cabins across the UK since 2005. These are the plans to build one yourself.
They're written by the people who make them, for people who actually want to build the thing: step-by-step instructions, photographs and illustrations from real builds, a full materials list with cost estimates, and the details that matter and that nobody tells you — how to fit the urine separator, how to run the soakaway, how to keep it odour-free and how to manage the compost.
What you get
- A PDF download, available immediately after purchase
- Step-by-step build instructions with photographs and drawings
- Materials and cutting list with cost estimates
- Guidance on urine separation, soakaways, ventilation and composting
- Free email support if you get stuck
You'll need a urine separator to go with it — the one part of a composting toilet you can't easily make yourself. Other plans: the Gypsy toilet and the toilet and shower unit. Prices include VAT.
