See how to make a triangular country toilet or make it look like a carriage. Workshops and photos also show how to decorate such a structure. A country toilet is an integral part of any country hacienda. I would like it not to look pathetic, but to become an object of landscape design, in perfect harmony with this suburban area.
We decorate country toilets with our own hands: photos and master classes
Even if it is already quite old, you can make this object "funny" so that it delights the eyes.
Here's what you need to do this:
- putty knife;
- sandpaper;
- paints;
- primer;
- brushes;
- stencil.
If the old paint has come off in places, use a spatula to try to remove the rest. Then the surface is sanded with sandpaper, after which it is passed with a primer. When it's dry, coat the surface with the paint of your choice. If then the drawing will be made up of dark tones, then the walls should be light. But even on dark ones, it will be possible to highlight the elements of the picture, making their outer contours lighter.
For this water closet, brown paint was used to cover the walls and the door from the outside. In order not to frequently update these places, you can cover them once with an antiseptic of a suitable tone. If the wood is new, light colors are suitable, under:
- maple;
- oak;
- linden.
If it's old, use a tone under:
- nut;
- Red tree.
After the surface is dry, it's time to move on to the creative part. To make a beautiful toilet, think about what exactly will be depicted on it. If you like this parrot, so that its variegated colors are clearly visible on a brown background, paint the main part of the canvas with white paint. There is no need for strict lines, a few strokes will be enough.
You can also lighten the bottom of the canvas, so that when this tone dries up, draw flowers and grass here. In this case, the "ears" stencil was used. With the help of it, taking green paint, you will draw just such an openwork grass. And the red one will help fill in the space on the sides.
A parrot flaunts in the center, it decorates a country street toilet. It can also be drawn using a stencil or freehand. The door handle will turn into a feathered perch.
If you use a light tone for decoration, then the contrasting pattern on it will stand out clearly.
Children will be especially delighted with such a masterpiece. Here's what you can draw for them and with them on the surface of such a structure:
- mushroom;
- dandelion;
- caterpillar;
- butterfly;
- beetle;
- lily of the valley.
Follow this plan of action:
- To draw a dandelion and a lily of the valley, you need only 3 paint colors: black, green and white. At the top of the image, draw a light circle. It should not be too flat, as this is a dandelion "hat". In green paint, paint its base, stem and two leaves - on one side and the other.
- Dip a thin brush in black paint to depict the stem. Place small white flowers on it. Paint the leaves green, when this paint dries, draw black veins on them.
- For the caterpillar, you will need the same tones. Draw a black circle for the insect's head. Draw the facial features in it, and draw the body of the caterpillar with green paint. Let her walk the black path. With the same paint you will draw a beetle.
- The snail sits on a branch of the same color. Drawing it is very simple. Draw a white circle. When the paint dries, with a thin brush, dipping it in black paint, draw the turns of the insect house. A funny face with a red nose will complete the snail image.
- Use bright colors for the butterfly. Let her wings be red with white circles and her body striped. You can use the paint you have to decorate your outdoor toilet.
Please note that without an inscription about what kind of structure it is, you can hint to the guests who have arrived, where they can go if necessary.

How to hide a country street toilet?
If the building is old or you just want to camouflage it, there are several ways to help you achieve this:
- Hide the structure behind the climbing plants.
- Cover the toilet behind hedge bushes.

How to hide a building behind climbing plants?
They can be decorative, edible, or both. It:
- curly beans;
- morning glory;
- kobei;
- sweet pea;
- curly nasturtium;
- girlish grapes.
Let's consider them in more detail:
- Curly beans can soar up to 3 meters, so that it will cover the building well. But her foliage is not very dense, so you need to plant it more often. The pods look very decorative, so they will decorate the country toilet and you will not have the problem of lack of space for planting. Pull the threads or the trellis net and the beans will curl over them.
- For kobei, ipomoea, such supports are also perfect. The first will delight you with lilac flowers, similar to huge shades, and the second has a lot of varieties. There are flowers with white, blue, red, pink, variegated colors; simple and terry.
- Sweet peas are also variegated. It still smells great, will help to mask an unpleasant smell. Nasturtium also smells strong, but not everyone likes its aroma, but this plant is very decorative.

Hedge plants
Here are some shrubs suitable for hiding a country street toilet:
- barberry;
- spirea;
- viburnum;
- irga;
- black elderberry.
Some of these shrubs will perform only a decorative function, others will allow you to get a harvest of berries.
If the farm building is located in a lowland, viburnum, which loves well-moistened soils, will grow well here. Viburnum is a bush. With the help of pruning, you can adjust its height, leave the required number of shoots, which it gives annually in sufficient quantities.
Barberry will not allow uninvited guests to enter your territory, as thorny hedges are formed from this plant.
Spirea is a lush shrub that blooms beautifully. If you like these plants, then you will surely love David's budle.
Irga gives berries one of the first. They ripen even earlier than strawberries. You can form a plant like a tree, but for the convenience of harvesting and for a hedge - like a bush. One leaves 7–12 root shoots, which also give the harvest in unison. In the fall, the foliage becomes crimson, so the irga looks decorative throughout the summer season.
From deren I form dense hedges, this plant, moreover, is unpretentious.
Black elderberry blooms with lush caps in July, when other shrubs have already stopped blooming. The leaves are original - green-yellow. Over time, the bush grows well in breadth, so you need to plant two adjacent ones at a sufficient distance. In the fall, you will harvest the berries. They are small, taste specific, but are widely used in folk medicine, and have useful properties.
Attention, only black elderberries are edible, they are poisonous in red elderberries, they should not be eaten! Various decorative fences will help to hide this building. They can be solid with wavy edges, made of picket fences. You can make a base of bars, and then stuff slats on them at an angle of 45 ° in one direction and the other. It will turn out to be very decorative.
How to build a country toilet on the street in the form of a carriage?
Try to build a suburban outdoor toilet so that it looks like another object, for example, a carriage. This is a real art object that will be erected in a single copy.
Construction works
To embody such an idea on your site, you will need:
- small foundation blocks;
- bars 100 and 50 mm thick;
- lining;
- nails;
- metal corners;
- self-tapping screws;

- Here's how to make a country toilet next. Put on the blocks in a rectangle of roofing material, horizontally place 4 bars on top, connecting them with self-tapping screws and metal corners.
- Place 4 bars in the corners, placing them slightly obliquely. Connect these elements from above with four more bars. The box is ready.
- Where the door will be located, put 2 beams, and in place of the windows, install beams with a cross section of 50 mm.
- Now you need to trim the base with clapboard. The roof in this case is made of transparent polycarbonate. You can make it from a different material. Remember to install the rafters first.
- Hang up the door, install the windows. To make the wheels, draw 4 rings on the plywood, cut them out with a jigsaw. These are wheel rims. Make the axles from the rails, glue and screw them to the rim with self-tapping screws. In the center of each wheel, set in a circle of plywood, make a hole in the middle of each with a drill.
- When the glue is dry, reinstall the wheels by connecting them in pairs with metal rods. Paint the rims gold and the axles white.

Inside, leave the carriage unpainted, but walk over it with an antiseptic. You can install a sink in such a chic room; a dry closet will also be an excellent solution.
Put your old suitcases in the back, because this is how things were fastened during transportation. You can open the top suitcase, pour drainage, soil into it, plant flowers. Hanging pots with beautiful plants will also be an excellent solution for decorating a country toilet.
So that it is not dark here at dusk, hang two of these old-style lanterns.

- Styrofoam;
- flower pot;
- copper wire;
- beads;
- glue for polystyrene;
