Outhouse Full Build | Start to Finish | Dovetail Log Cabin

An outhouse is a crucial part of living off grid in a cabin. This video is a compilation of the entire build of my outhouse.

For this build I began making and using lap siding for the first time using the Woodlandmills HM126 with the lap siding attachment. I like the way the exterior looks using this style of siding and have subsequently used it on the extension to the cabin.

For the interior I finished the floor with a simple polyurethane and then installed the Separett Villa Toilet. I debated toilet options for more time than I care to admit, but ultimately settled with this style of urine diverting toilet.

I installed a 40W solar panel on the roof to power a fan in the toilet. The fan moves air and odour outside the outhouse. It will also power a light for the outhouse.

I wanted something that was comfortable, odour free, and relatively inexpensive. I also did not want to have a pit-style outhouse as my cabin is near water and did not want to have to move the outhouse in the future. The urine diverting option separates solid form liquid waste which drastically lowers odours.

In the future, if finances permit, I do think that incinerating style toilets could be a good option.

Thank-you for watching!
