Homemade Mobile Toilet Storage Box

Admin October 11, 2026

The homemade mobile toilet storage box can be made using materials such as a colander, transparent storage box, oil drum, or mooncake bag, depending on different scenario requirements. Here are specific plans and operational points:

1. Colander and Storage Basket Combination Plan (Suitable for Pet Toilets)
Use the colander as the main structure and pair it with a properly sized storage basket as a forage box. Secure the storage basket to the bottom of the colander and elevate it with screws and nuts to form a detachable, layered structure. This design facilitates the cleaning of excrement while keeping the forage dry. To prevent the forage from scattering, tie straps around the edge of the storage basket (it is recommended to use aluminum wire or safe partition materials instead of elastic bands to avoid the risk of pets chewing on them). The chassis should be secured to the edge of the cage with clothes-drying clips to prevent sliding and displacement. The advantage of this plan lies in its sturdy structure and ease of movement, making it suitable for pet toilet scenarios that require frequent cleaning.

2. Transparent Storage Box Modification Plan (Suitable for Small Human Bathrooms)
Select a transparent storage box with a lid and add a plastic bottom mesh (which can be cut from a discarded steamer rack) to the bottom. Elevate the bottom mesh by 1-2 centimeters with screws and nuts at the four corners to create a drainage space. The modified storage box has high space utilization, and the transparent material facilitates observation of internal cleanliness. However, it can be challenging to secure. This can be resolved by sticking anti-slip pads on both sides of the box or hanging it on the wall using hooks. This plan is suitable for storing items such as toilet paper and cleaning agents. It is important to choose corrosion-resistant materials to cope with humid environments.

3. Oil Drum Modification into a Tissue Box Plan (Suitable for Shower Areas)
Cut a cleaned 5L cooking oil drum in half along the centerline, retaining the upper part with the handle. Sand the edges of the opening until smooth, punch holes symmetrically on both sides, and thread zip ties through them to form a suspendable structure. The modified tissue box can be hung on a shower rod or towel rack, offering excellent waterproof performance and saving countertop space. It is recommended to choose a transparent oil drum for easy observation of the tissue supply or attach a waterproof label to the drum indicating its purpose.

4. Mooncake Bag Toilet Paper Storage Box Plan (Suitable for Adhesion to Metal Surfaces)
Take a discarded mooncake bag (preferably one with a sealing strip) and secure button magnets to the four corners of the bag bottom with nano double-sided tape. After inserting a roll of toilet paper, seal the bag opening, and it can then be adhered to metal door frames, water heaters, etc. The transparent bag body allows for a clear display of the tissue supply, and the waterproof coating effectively protects the tissue from moisture. This plan is cost-effective and requires no drilling, making it suitable for rental properties or temporary use scenarios.

Common Operational Tips: All modifications should ensure that the materials are non-toxic and harmless, and the edges are smooth and burr-free; the fixing method should be selected based on the usage scenario to incorporate anti-slip and moisture-proof measures; and for pet supplies, small parts should be avoided to prevent accidental ingestion.
