The younger generation of the 21st century is hardly familiar with such an attribute as a washstand - a simplified washbasin with a kind of cork instead of a jib crane, not connected to the water supply network and consisting of only a small container that was attached to any wall or a vertical plank. Some young people heard about them and could even see their grandmothers in private homes. I must say that this design, slightly modernized, is still used today. Such a wash basin for a summer residence, outdoor or indoor, is a very necessary item for those whose buildings are located away from the water main. It can also be used in a garage, workshop, on the territory of a summer cafe.
The washbasin for cottages without heating is convenient in the garden or in the greenhouse, where work is in full swing in the summer, when there is a need to wash kitchen utensils, hands, and wash off the rest of the earth from the harvested crop. For convenience, you can attach a corrugated hose (with a diameter of 50 cm) to a container with waste water (sink) to divert it to the sewer. And under the sink, arrange a space for storing kitchen utensils and garden accessories, designing it in the form of a cabinet with a door on a magnetic latch or leaving it open. The back wall of the cabinet can not be installed in order to carry out the installation of the waste water outlet system.
Modern washbasins for summer cottages can be of very different designs using durable and reliable materials. Any gardener-gardener will cope with the assembly and dismantling of modern washbasin designs, since they are made without any complex configurations - on the principle of "nothing more."
The outdoor washbasin consists of a steel frame (lightweight), a bulk tank and a sink made of plastic. On sale you can find these products of various colors for every taste. For the durability of the paint, polymer powder paint is used, which is not only an element of decoration, but also reliably protects the product from atmospheric influences, and, therefore, from corrosion.
The outdoor washbasin is equipped with a sink having such a shape that eliminates the delay in it of wastewater, as well as a bulk tank for clean liquid of 15 liters. When purchasing a product, you will also be offered an important component product - a tap to the tank. It can be made of chrome, with a valve or a water-saving double-acting tap. You can install your washbasin anywhere in your area, because it is not tied to any water supply system and will not require funds to purchase additional communication materials.
Using your imagination, this wonderful and such a necessary device for a summer residence, like a street wash basin, can be made by yourself, using instead of a filling tank various decorative containers, for example, an old samovar. Equipped with a crane made of high-quality metal (samovars in ancient times were made from good materials), it will give aesthetic pleasure. As a table, you can use the old countertop with a slot for washing.
A street-based wash basin, not even equipped with a water heating system, will help you out all summer.
