Production of Simple Rural Mobile Toilets

Admin September 28, 2026

Simple rural mobile toilets can be made using water storage barrels or tanks and pallets. Here are the specific methods:

Production Using Water Storage Barrels

  1. Barrel Body Processing: Use an angle grinder to split the water storage barrel in half lengthwise, providing basic space for installing other components later.
  2. Mobile Device Installation: Fix universal wheels at the four corners of a wooden board to facilitate the overall movement of the toilet, meeting the needs of use in different locations.
  3. Height Adjustment: Use wooden strips and self-tapping screws to fix them on the upper side of the barrel, increasing the height of the barrel to make the usage space more comfortable.
  4. Wall Construction: Open a doorway on the side of the water storage barrel, install sponge strips to form a door frame, and embed plastic soft boards to create walls, providing some shelter and privacy protection.
  5. Roof Setup: Place the upper half of the water storage barrel on top of the wooden strips as a roof and apply waterproof paint to enhance aesthetics and prevent rainwater leakage.
  6. Drainage System: Open a hole at the bottom of the barrel and install a drain pipe to form a floor drain. Open a hole on the side and connect it to a direct joint for easy sewage discharge.
  7. Facility Installation: Install facilities such as a toilet, water tank, bathroom heater, and showerhead, and connect the drain pipe to the sewage tank to meet basic toilet and bathing needs.

Production Using Water Storage Tanks and Pallets

  1. Mobile Device Installation: Fix universal wheels at the four corners of the bottom of a pallet to enable flexible movement of the toilet.
  2. Tank Body Processing: Place the water storage tank and use an angle grinder to cut along the top marking line to remove the top, creating an open-top tank body to provide space for installing internal facilities later.
  3. Tank Body Stacking and Fixing: Invert another open-top water storage tank and stack it on top of the first tank body. Fix the outer frame with self-tapping screws to increase the stability and space of the toilet.
  4. Doorway Creation: Cut rectangular openings on the outer frame and tank body of the water storage tank to form a doorway for easy personnel access.
  5. Drainage System: Open a hole on the internal floor of the water storage tank, insert an elbow and a water pipe, and seal the gaps to ensure smooth drainage without leakage.
  6. Facility Installation: Install and fix the toilet. Fix water pipes and faucets on wall clips, install a stainless-steel basin as a handwashing basin below, connect the water inlet pipe of the toilet tank and the shower hose, install a showerhead bracket and a toilet seat ring to meet various usage functions.
  7. Door Installation: Fix hinges on the frame of the water storage tank, connect wooden boards to form a door, and install a door handle to ensure the privacy of the toilet.
