It is very convenient when, after working in the garden, you can wash your dirty hands in the yard without going into the house. For these purposes, many people buy a washstand or a stationary outdoor washbasin. It is cost effective in a private home. If you have a dacha, to which you come a maximum of once a week, then it is more convenient to make a washbasin from a plastic bottle with your own hands and adjust it on a vertical basis. The article describes in detail the manufacturing methods and various options for the execution of the conceived. It is not difficult and even an inexperienced master can do it.
Simple and temporary option
Such a simple device can be installed even outdoors during a family vacation. You can hang this device on any branch of a tree away from the tent or bedding so that the flowing water does not form muddy puddles near tourists. It is not difficult to make a washbasin from a plastic bottle with your own hands. You need to have a 1.5- or 2-liter container, rope, a sharp knife and find a suitable place for placement.
First you need to rinse the bottle to keep it clean. Then cut off the bottom with a sharp knife. The illustration shows the bottom completely cut off, but you can not cut it completely, leaving a narrow strip. Then you can cover the hole like a lid. In this case, leaves, dirt, insects will not fall into the container from the tree. The water will remain clean and can be used to wash dishes from the sink.
From a plastic bottle with your own hands, you need to cut two round holes on top, not far from the cut. Pulling the rope through them, tie knots on both sides. For this thread we hang the bottle with its neck down on a suitable horizontal branch. Then water is poured.
To wash your hands, you will need to slightly unscrew the bottle cap, but so that the water flows in a thin stream. After the hand washing process is over, the lid is screwed back tightly.
Placement on a fence
You can make such a convenient washbasin from a plastic bottle with your own hands in the country, by hanging it on screws to a wooden fence. To prevent the bottle's cut edge from being sharp, it can be wiped several times on the surface of a hot iron. The sharp part will melt and cannot injure. It will be possible to entrust the filling of the container even to a baby.
To prevent the screw from rusting from constant contact with water, it must be screwed on from above. The photo shows that the master used a cap from another bottle for better grip. In order for the container to be in an upright position and water does not pour onto the fence, you need to nail a small wooden block just below the top. You can make a soap dish from the bottom and adjust it next to it.
Multi-jet device
We bring to your attention another option for making a washbasin from a plastic bottle with your own hands. A feature of this device is that water flows from it in several streams. This washbasin can be used in a summer courtyard shower.
To make it, you need to take a 5-liter bottle and cut a large round hole in the bottom. Through it, in the future, water will be collected into the container. As in the previous version, holes are made on the top of the bottle, and then you need to hang it on a rope.
Several holes are drilled in the lid, like a shower. The only drawback of this option is that water cannot be stored in such a container. You need to use it right away. When pouring water, you need to hold the lid with your hand so that liquid does not spill out of it. And hanging on a hook in the roof of the shower stall, immediately start washing.
A real washstand
The following is a very convenient option for making a washbasin from a plastic bottle with your own hands. In the photo below, you can see that this is a real washstand, from which no water flows out at all. It can be used in the same way as the purchased option, by pressing on the stick at the bottom. Such devices are now installed in almost all trains.
The container can be used both small and large, for 6 liters. But you still have to cut a hole in the bottom so that air can enter the bottle. Otherwise, there will be no necessary pressure, and water will not flow.
The only difficulty in this execution of the washbasin will be the preparation of the lid. In the photo, a purchased plastic pin is inserted into it, designed for washstands. It's easy to find in the household goods department. The product is on sale already with a lid. If you have not been able to find this device, do not despair. Its role can be played by a simple medical syringe.
To do this, you need to cut off the part where the needle is inserted. You will get a cylinder-piston. A hole is cut in the lid into which the syringe will fit tightly. The retractable piston should hang down during this process. When you push down on the valve, water will flow. Naturally, you need to use a rubber gasket so that the cylinder is held tightly and water does not flow out of the cracks.
DIY plastic bottle washbasin
Step-by-step instructions for installing a device equipped with a crane:
1. Take a five liter bottle and cut out a small round hole for pouring water.
2. A small hole is drilled in the bottom to fit the squeegee.
3. On both sides of it, rubber gaskets are put on, and with the help of nuts and washers, it is firmly fixed.
4. After that, you need to install a tap or stretch a plumbing hose to the place where it is more convenient to wash.
5. Attach the bottle to the location by the handle or brackets: a tree, a fence or a post.
6. It remains only to pour water into the container - and the sink is ready.
Big tank
Before you do it, you need to think about where you will place it. In addition, it is important to know the estimated volume of water. If there is a need only to wash your hands, for example, after working in the garden, then you can use the above bottle options. Their volume is quite enough for your needs.
If there is a need for constant use of water in the country: washing hands, dishes, cooking, then it will be reasonable to install a large plastic tank with a tap in the house itself. You do not need to often pour water into such a container. In addition, the crane makes it very easy to use. And there is no need to constantly run into the yard to wash some kind of fruit or plate.
But for such a large tank, you need to hang holders on the wall that can support the weight of 25 liters of water. A sink must also be installed with a drain in a cesspool or in a large bucket.
When the preparatory work is completed, you can mount the tap on the bottle cap. For this type of do-it-yourself washbasin from a plastic bottle, instructions for installing the faucet can be found in the previous block. It is practically no different. The only additional advice is to add a linen rope when installing the faucet for better insulation of the parts. Then the device will hold tightly in the container. There are special covers with ready-made taps that will save you the hassle of mounting.
When choosing a location, remember that water and detergents should not flow onto the roots of plants or trees. This will destroy them. In the place where the water will drain, you can put a bucket for dirty water or dig a small hole for the drain.
Before starting work, remember that a cut bottle has sharp edges that can seriously injure you. Therefore, be careful, especially if there are little helpers nearby.
A necessary thing in the country or at a picnic is a washstand or washbasin, which can be hung on the site. This practical tool allows you to rinse your hands after gardening, wash your tools, rinse vegetables or fruits without going into your home. Such a country sink can be made easily from plastic bottles, and there can be many ways, we will consider only a few of them.
The most elementary suburban washstand made of plastic bottles
A large plastic bottle with a lid is taken, then the bottom is cut off with a knife or scissors. The bottom can be cut off completely and folded back (this will be a place for soap). After that, we pierce the holes on the sides with an awl, through which we thread a lace or wire, and hang the resulting washstand.
Alternatively, you can nail the washstand to the holder. Or, if you have holders, attach the washstand to them, as shown in the photo.
Pour water into the washstand. When you need to wash your hands, just unscrew the lid a little.
Inverted plastic bottle option:
You can also adapt the washstand like this:
we take a plastic bottle, make holes in the lid heated over a candle or stove with an awl (there should be a lot of them), we also make holes for the lace in the middle of the bottle so that it can easily turn over, and hang it in such a way that it is with the lid up.
When washing your hands, simply turn the bottle over.
Our country washstand from a plastic bottle is ready! As you can see, it is very simple to make it.
The option is more complex and functional:
We take two plastic bottles of the same size. First, we deal with one bottle, which will be the sink itself. We cut off the part with the bottom, but not evenly, but leaving a small eyelet on the remaining part (this will be a mount for our country washstand).
Cut out the widest part of the second bottle (closer to the base), then finish it as in the picture. We need to make (closer to the top) several pairs of horizontal cuts, 2-3 cm long (we will insert the toothbrushes here). Below we cut through a rectangular window (cut from 3 sides and turn to the side, so that a tube of toothpaste can fit into this tube). We fix the turned-off rectangle around the edges with a stapler.
We put the second blank on the first and get a washstand with additional functions. Put an inverted bottom on top (for soap).
For convenience and comfort in country estates, you can create a washbasin for a summer residence with your own hands. An inexpensive and effortless device can make life so much more enjoyable. Even if the country house has a full-fledged water supply system, the street washstand on the site allows you to quickly rinse your hands after working with soil, fertilizers, weeds.
Types of washbasins
It may seem that a do-it-yourself washstand for a summer residence can only be made of the simplest design. In fact, even a novice master is able to create a convenient and very beautiful washbasin using the simplest tools. The degree of comfort is determined by the structure of the building.
At your own choice, you can give preference to one of the most common models:
- hinged (with a pressure spout or a tap),
- on a stand that can be easily carried and installed anywhere on the site, even where there is no suitable support,
- "Moydodyr" - a structure with a curbstone, in which there is a container for collecting waste water,
- heated products.
If you need to choose or without it, then our review article will help you with this.
And the characteristics that the popular and inexpensive possesses are presented in another material on the site.
We also have instructions on how to do it. Selection of materials and work sequence.
Washbasin from a plastic bottle
If you are thinking how to make a washbasin in the country with your own hands easily, quickly and simply, a plastic bottle design will be the best solution. You can create such a structure in a few minutes with virtually no expense. Such a washstand will serve well until the moment you build a more perfect structure, and maybe it will be in demand in the future.
The general principle for creating such washstands is the same - the plastic bottle is suspended and fixed vertically with the neck down... Such a bottle can be filled through the neck, but for this the bottle will have to be removed from the support. If a rigid fixation is provided, the bottom of the container can be cut off. In this case, it is better to equip the washbasin with a top cover (for example, made from a cut-off bottom) to prevent dust and debris from entering the water.
Variations usually relate to the water supply device.
- The simplest outdoor washbasin for a summer residence is a plastic bottle, in the lid of which a hole is made, and a regular nail with a blunt point is placed in it... The cap of the nail is inside the bottle, and the hole diameter is larger than the nail's diameter, but less than the diameter of its head. Thus, in the free position, the nail head is pressed against the hole, blocking the water outlet. If necessary, wash your hands, just lift it up by pressing on the free end of the nail from the bottom up. The advantage of the design is its simplicity, however, there are also significant disadvantages. For example, a nail that is constantly in water quickly rusts. In addition, it is not always convenient to use such a pushing device. The model may well work as a street washstand for a summer residence, but it is difficult to wash the dishes with it due to the inconvenience of the drain part and due to its small capacity.
- A hinged outdoor washstand from a plastic bottle can be used as a drain device usual "native" cover with a hole in the side... When such a cap is completely screwed down, the opening is blocked by the neck of the bottle. Partially opening the lid, you free the hole, water begins to pour out of the sink. The disadvantage of using such a design is the difficulty of regulating the intensity of the water supply. The advantage, like the previous version, is the simplicity of the device.
- A more comfortable outdoor washstand for giving with your own hands from a plastic bottle can be made, by providing the neck of the container with a small tap... It can be purchased or removed from faulty equipment (washing machine, etc.). It is not difficult to fix the tap on the neck with electrical tape.
Canister mounted models
If the built summer washstand in the country house with your own hands from bottles does not meet the needs of the family even with temporary use, you can install a larger model from a plastic or metal canister, or even a bucket. To do this, cut or knock out a hole in the container into which the tap is installed.
If necessary, for better tightness, a squeegee is first installed in the hole knocked out in the canister, supplying it with rubber gaskets on both sides. The position of the squeegee is fixed with nuts on the outside and inside of the canister. A crane is installed on the squeeze.
At installation, it is important to ensure the tightness of the joints... If you choose a model from a canister, it should be borne in mind that the drain volume will be greater, which means that you should think about draining the waste.
The following options are possible:
- a container for collecting liquid, installed under the washbasin,
- drainage ditch,
- drainage channel to, etc.
If the site is permeable soil, into which water easily leaves, you can provide the liquid with the opportunity to soak into the soil. In this case, it is recommended to fill the space under the sink with gravel, crushed stone or expanded clay for better drainage.
Stand models
Countertop washbasins are containers with taps fixed to a frame. The frame has “legs” in the lower part that go into the ground. Thus, the washstand on the counter moves freely and is installed in any part of the personal plot. For ease of installation, a transverse crossbar is made over the support legs - this is a kind of "pedal". You can quickly and securely install the structure by pushing your foot on the bar.
The frame structure of the washbasin on the counter must be reliably protected from moisture, especially its supporting parts, which are immersed in the ground.
The cistern with a tap can be purchased or made by yourself. Please note: the immersion depth of the legs for reliable stability increases in proportion to the weight of the structure. This is an important factor when choosing the material of the tank and its volume.
Washbasin
A more solid and comfortable country sink with your own hands can be made with a cabinet and your own support for the bulk container. This model can be installed outdoors, on a covered veranda and in the house... For its creation, materials will be required, however, for reasons of economy, you can not purchase them on purpose, but use improvised or leftovers from construction and installation work in a different direction.
The main elements of such a washbasin, called "moidodyr", are a sink (in this capacity, you can even use an old sink that was dismantled during the repair) and a filling tank, which can be purchased ready-made or made by hand. In the second case, certain skills will be required. If a washstand is provided for giving without heating, the tank may be plastic. If you want to provide maximum comfort and equip the "moidodyr" with a heating element, it is advisable to choose a container made of metal.
A washbasin with a vanity unit is a frame structure sheathed with sheet or panel material. It can be used as:
- plywood,
- plastic,
- polycarbonate,
- panels made of polymer material,
- sheet steel, etc.
The photo shows another version of the curbstone, in the manufacture of which wooden boards were used For the frame of the washbasin with a curbstone, wooden blocks with a square in cross-section (side of a square 50-80 mm) or a corner made of steel 25x25 or 40x40 mm are used.
The work is carried out in the following order:
- Measuring the sink and calculating the dimensions of the cabinet.
- Cut the frame material (bar or corner) according to the specified dimensions (8 identical segments to form the upper and lower horizontal squares).
- Cutting of vertical uprights (4 bars).
- Assembling (knocking down, welding, etc.) of the frame.
Important: When installing the washbasin outdoors, it is recommended to paint or varnish materials that are not resistant to moisture.
Water draining is organized in the most convenient way.
- The easiest way is to substitute a bucket for collecting waste.
- For stationary structures, you can arrange a drain into the sewer or ditch.
- With good permeability of the soil, water can be drained into the soil, having previously covered the place of discharge with drainage material (crushed stone, gravel, etc.) to a height of 25-35 cm.
When sheathing the frame on all walls of the curbstone, except for the front one, the sheets or panels are rigidly attached. In the front part, two or one (depending on the dimensions of the product) doors are arranged. A tank or bucket is placed in the cabinet under the sink, where water will drain.
Above the sink, a frame vertical superstructure should be installed, on which it will be fixed.
Such a washbasin can be additionally equipped with a worktop and a dish drainer made of slats.

Heated washbasin
A washbasin in which there will be not only cold, but also hot water is a real luxury for a summer residence. Such structures, as a rule, are installed permanently, since they require connection to the mains. By design, such a metal washstand for a summer residence can be a "washstand" or a model on the counter.
You can use a conventional boiler to heat the liquid in the tank, but experienced craftsmen recommend purchase a special heating element with a thermostat... Please note that the power of the heating element must be selected in accordance with the volume of the tank. With insufficient power, you will have to wait a long time for the water to heat up, and if too high, there is a high probability that the water will overheat. In addition, you should select the optimal design and heating mode. If there is only one tank and is not divided into chambers, the water will need to be heated to a temperature of about 40 ° C, with a divided tank (one section is for cold water, and the other, with a heating element, for hot water), the heating temperature should be higher. In this case, the tank is equipped not with an ordinary tap, but with a mixer.
When making a do-it-yourself electric washstand for a summer cottage with heating, to ensure safety, it is important to take care of the insulation of the current supply wire, as well as to provide the structure with a float level indicator or its more complex analogue, and also, in the absence of a thermostat, with a thermometer to control water heating.
Another option for how to make a washstand in the country is demonstrated in the video.
A convenient and functional outdoor washstand for a summer residence is an indispensable attribute of a comfortable stay in the countryside. If necessary, it is quite possible to make a high-quality
country sink with a small cost and with your own hands, but most consumers prefer to use ready-made purchased models.
Street washstand for a summer residence: the main types of purchased models
A garden washbasin or a country sink should combine ease of use and affordable cost. When choosing a purchased model you need to pay attention to the following parameters:
- the street model should harmoniously fit into the overall decor and the whole concept of the suburban area;
- for frequent use on the street, it is best to choose a wall-mounted washbasin with a large water tank;
- for rare, occasional use, it is advisable to give preference to washbasins that are small in volume, which will prevent stagnation of water.
An outdoor washbasin can be portable or portable and stationary. Such a device is usually located in the working area of the personal plot and can be represented not only by a primitive hanging cistern, but also by a device with an increased level of comfort:
- washbasin without cabinet or, the so-called, bulk street washstand. This is the simplest design, represented by a container with a volume of three to five liters. The water is poured into the tank from the top. The reservoir is closed by a lid, and a tap is located at the bottom or a special outlet float is installed. A bucket or drainage layer on the ground is used for drainage. The best option is a durable plastic model. The most modern type is a plastic suspended tank with a pore of lids and a clamping magnetic release;
- feature plastic model on the rack is the possibility of fixing on a metal rack. You can firmly install such a device on the ground by pressing your foot on the lower crossbar. Some models are characterized by the presence of such an additional element as a sink with water outlet directly to the ground with an equipped drainage layer represented by fine rubble or gravel. The device can be installed between flower beds or flower beds, as well as anywhere in the garden.

The cost of models depends not only on the volume, but also on the material used in the manufacture, as well as functionality and ease of use.
How to make a garden washstand with your own hands
Washbasin from a 5 liter bottle
This option is based on a 5-liter bottle, as well as wire, awl and candles, perfect for hygiene procedures in hiking conditions:
- light a candle and heat an awl;
- make about ten holes in the lid, distributing them as evenly as possible;
- make a pair of parallel holes with an awl in the middle of the container and thread the wire;
- pour water to the middle and tighten the lid;
- turn the bottle over and hang it on a hammered nail or branch.
The downside of this design is the risk of overturning in case of strong gusts of wind, as well as the possibility of filling with water only up to half.
Wooden washbasin Moidodyr
"Moidodyry" belong to the category of serious structures, and can be represented by different modifications. Such a stationary device is quite difficult to move, so it must be installed in a previously prepared and carefully selected, permanent place.For self-production, you need to use a cabinet, a sink and a tank with a faucet for water. Wooden "Moidodyr" can have different dimensions. The dimensions of the square pedestal are 50x50 cm. The rectangular structure is made with dimensions of 45x50 cm. The side parts, backrest and door are made of moisture-resistant plywood.
You can make a construction of boards 2.5x15 cm. In vertical blanks, you need to make eyelets for arranging the spikes. They are performed using a milling cutter, cutting grooves 2.0 cm deep and 8.0 cm wide. Spikes are arranged at the end parts of horizontal blanks using a circular saw. Parts are assembled into a single structure and securely fixed with galvanized self-tapping screws. Sheet plywood can be glued or fixed with small nails.
A water tank is installed between the side walls in the upper part. The floor should be made of slats measuring 2.0x4.5 cm. At the final stage, a door with a handle is fixed, which will simplify the operation of Moidodyr. It is recommended to carefully grind the finished structure, paint, and then install the sink. If necessary, in such a structure, instead of moisture-resistant plywood, PVC panels are used, thanks to which a street washbasin can become not only a necessary plumbing fixture, but also a real element of decor for a backyard or garden area.

Canister outdoor washbasin
For the manufacture of such a functional plumbing fixture, in addition to the container, it will be necessary to prepare:- tap for water supply;
- nuts for clamping;
- squeeze;
- a pair of rubber pads.
In the purchased plastic container, you need to drill or cut a hole. The squeegee is installed in the drilled hole of the container. Then, on both sides, gaskets are put on the squeegee and clamped with nuts. At the final stage, a tap is attached, after which the container is filled with water.
When arranging such a washbasin, it is required to provide for a high-quality drainage system., which will transfer wastewater to a cesspool. If it is not possible to equip a drainage system, then you can use a bucket to collect used water, or place the washbasin above the ground, sprinkled with a layer of gravel, which in this case acts as drainage and prevents the formation of puddles around the washbasin.
Heated washbasin: features of installation and electrical connection
Work on a personal plot is not always done in the warm season, so the use of cold water can create significant discomfort. In this case, the best option would be to use an outdoor washbasin equipped with reliable heating. There are several different modifications that differ not only in appearance, but also in design features:
- mounted models represent a rectangular tank equipped with a crane and are mounted on walls or any type of reliable support. A special heating element is built into the tank. As a rule, such a plumbing fixture is installed under a canopy and has an anti-corrosion coating. However, outdoor installation requires very strict adherence to all safety measures prescribed in the attached instructions;
- hinged plumbing fixtures with anti-corrosion supports are more advanced models and can be installed outdoors, and the presence of a high-quality reliable metal frame makes it possible to give the entire structure an additional level of strength and stability;
- the most complete set of a country outdoor washbasin equipped with heated water is a model consisting of a metal, plastic or wooden cabinet, complemented by a sink made of steel or polymers and a tank for water heating. A voluminous cabinet most often has a collapsible structure. Such a device may well be connected to the sewage system.
Completing with heating elements is typical not only for complex plumbing fixtures, but also for fairly simple devices without a cabinet. With the help of one such built-in element with a capacity of 1.25 kW, 15-17 liters of water are heated in half an hour to temperatures of 75-80 ° C.
Appliances equipped with a heating system must be connected to a regular electrical outlet. Electricity consumption depends on the power of the heating elements installed in the water heating tank. Usually, small heating elements are mounted at the bottom of the bulk tank. Modern plumbing fixtures are equipped with thermostats, with the help of which the required temperature regime of water is set within the range of 30-70 ° C. Some models are equipped with a very convenient automatic shutdown mode.
How to make a washstand for a summer residence with your own hands (video)
When installing such an outdoor washbasin, it is very important to remember that the main requirement for operation is installation under a roof or a special shed, which will protect the device from precipitation. It is strictly forbidden to use so-called "temporary buildings" for connection.
The quality of out-of-town recreation directly depends on the availability of basic plumbing fixtures, which also include outdoor washbasins. With the right choice of such a device and proper installation, you can make your stay as comfortable and convenient as possible.
As the saying goes, if little things determine the consciousness of everyday life, then the washstand determines ... I don't know what. But it is definitely becoming more convenient to live with him. I do not have a stationary washstand on the site, but the construction guys took theirs. So somehow I got myself together and went shopping in search. I didn't really like everything that I saw on sale, so this article appeared here.
Method number 1: a nail in a cork
The simplest and most obvious, of course. We make a hole in the center of the plastic bottle cap, insert the nail with the head inside, screw the cap.
Problems: water leaks, the nail rusts. And besides, a problem common to all washstands with a stock: while you press from below, the water flows, but your hands are busy and you can't wash them, and when you let go, your hands are free and you can wash them, only the water doesn't flow anymore :).
Method number 2: a hole in the cork
We do in a bottle cap side V-neck... Then, by turning the lid, the water will flow out, by turning the tap back, the tap closes. Original and simple.
Problems? Read a funny story from one forum:
“I built a 5-liter washstand according to the recipe described: if you turn the lid slightly, a thin stream flows. The unit hung on the corner of the gazebo, dug a shallow hole below and poured buckets of one and a half ASM into it. Everything served well while I was busy putting the dacha in order. And then - relatives began to come ...
The mother was the first to get caught: she wanted it to flow better and turned more - the lid flies off, all the water down at once! I explain that you need to unscrew less. An hour later, the mother-in-law comes up to the washstand ... Well, you get the idea. He explained the same thing, though not so calmly anymore. And then the wife goes to wash her hands ... yes, not once, but twice within an hour! Taking into account that the day is just beginning, and the water is imported and there is almost no water, my educational speech begins to resemble a motorcycle without a silencer.
And here the washbasin attracts the attention of children. Usually you can't make their hands wash, but it's under a normal tap. Well, I am making a special step for them from a large block of wood. Voila! Children unscrew the lid in the same way twice in a row! I can't scold children ... The next day I go to the store and buy an ordinary 3-liter plastic washbasin. I hung it at the same place ... "
Method number 3: tap in the neck of the bottle
By analogy with the first two practically. We take a tap from the washing machine, for example, a couple of turns of electrical tape, and you're done.
Method number 4: tap into a plastic container
We just take a five-liter plastic container instead of a bottle, drill-cut a hole at the bottom, insert a purchased tap. Voila. It remains to come up with a drain :)
Method number 5: tap into a regular bucket
As you like. On the plus side, the bucket is easier to decorate (see video below).
Method number 6: pin + cork + bottle
In the lid of a large plastic bottle, make several holes plus 1 in the center. We insert the pin into the center. Attach a handle from below. Inside, we insert a rubber plug-plug attached to the pin. Like in the bathroom, a plug for a drain or a tap from a pharmaceutical heating pad.
Method number 7: "for advanced"
We take a 5 liter bottle. Cut out a 10 × 8 cm hole in its bottom.
We take a steel rod 18 cm long and 5 mm in diameter. With a hacksaw for metal, cut along the axis the upper end of the rod. We spread the ends of the rod with a screwdriver. On the opposite end, there is an M5 thread. On the rod, we make two transverse cuts with a depth of 1 mm at a distance of 65 mm from the end. We hook a washer and a fixing bracket made of wire with a diameter of 3 mm onto the rod. Insert a clamping spring with a diameter of 10 mm into the bracket. Its height is 15 mm higher than the height of the bracket. We put a rubber gasket with a diameter of 10 mm on the rod to the support washer. We put a rubber washer on the bottom. Drill a hole in the center of the lid. We assemble everything: we attach the bracket with the equipment to the roof with two self-tapping screws, and fasten the cap from the tube of toothpaste to the lower end of the rod. We cover the metal parts with enamel so that they do not rust, we dry them and put them in the tank. Everything…
Method number 8: kettle washbasin
What could be easier? They hung up the kettle, put a basin underneath - that's all.
DIY video for creating washbasins
Method number 9: design bucket sink
Master class on creating a washbasin from a galvanized bucket and a faucet, as well as a washbasin from a larger bucket, a colander and a siphon. The buckets are beautifully pasted over with foil, so they called it "a designer washbasin for a summer residence" :)
