The principle

Separation and siting are everything. Solids and urine kept apart, every unit at least 10–15 m from any water source, vent stacks that actually draw. Volunteer induction before first use, always.

Materials

  • Dry-laid/mortared stone
  • gravel floor
  • drainage channel
  • timber privacy screen
  • rubble base

Tools

  • See E-fast-build-design-catalogue.md §7
