Well it looks like outhouses are like behinds, eveyone here has one.
Ours is your standard poopail depository.
We graduated from trudging out to a distant secluded clump of trees, shovel and TP in hand, to a couple 2Xs between trees and a tarp, to the greenhouse.
However, in consideration of all these remarkable edifices, I like steveqvs the best, 'cause he built with untapped talent (like when I attempt a shot at framemaker without an I.T. lookin' over my shoulder).

Great Pengchloe
If it functions safely, does not pinch the bottom and has a view then it is great.
Really enjoying this thread. Much more fun than the outhouses of the world type books etc. cause these are outhouses of "our forum friends".

Here is some artwork I laminated and hung inside the outhouse.

COL!
When I saw that one awhile back (farside? I can't remember), I almost showed the wife, then re-thought.

Any outhouse is a good outhouse.
When we started our cabin build, nature would inevitably call from time to time. The wife would (without lament) trudge off to seclusion. When the urge for me was imminent, we had to make a trip to town for supplies. Not sure if she ever caught on.
I did, however, manage to make quite a creative edifice in the snow one cold morn.............
So, yeah, steveqvs,I'd gladly use your outhouse, or even FPW's 'open air' throne, singing back to the birds, with accompanyment of the bassoon section

Whats gawja??? :D
They are Ponderosa pines. Its lag bolted to 2 huge 8X8 wolmanzied timbers (about rail road tie size) and semi buried into the ground to shore it up. They extended past the end and so I added the porch.

Oh, in the pine family here, native pines here is the silver pine, lower elevation, eastern side of my state, much drier and elevation from 3000 to 4500 is prime Ponderosa pine area (my cabin location) and from above 4500 feet, we have the lodgepole pines. Also tome Tamarack (western larch) which looks like an evergreen that loses its needles.
We have lots of douglas fir, western red cedars, hemlocks and englemann spruce for evergreens. They are in western Wa or eastern in higher elevations.

Hey, ity had to be a pleasant expereince if the wife was going to come up. I keep it clean and spotless inside, and add lots of water to help break things down. And some nice smelly stuff to toss into the tank. Its got a urinal, coat hook, able to lock it, nice locking paper roll holder, vent stack, fly tight... I would of taken lots of labor and cost would of been comparable. Buying the new plastic can just made sense to me.

This outhouse was on the property when I bought the place. Really horrible. I think someone made it out of a single sheet of OSB, dug a pit the size of a bucket and nailed it to a tree. I almost tipped it over trying to get the door open. I never even tried to use it. Yeah ... I need to build a new one. Maybe next time I am out there I will knock the plastic roof off just to help nature take it back.

Here's my cedar outhouse. At 5 months old, it still smells like cedar inside. I'm working on that but cedar is stiff competition in the beginning. Over time I am certain to prevail.
Outside dimensions: 32"wide, 36"deep. Walls are 2x4s in the 1.5 direction. Looking at hundreds of outhouses(search "outhouse" in Google Images) I decided that I wanted it to look 'quaint'. However, if I could do it again I would consider 2 inches bigger to be well within the goal of 'quaint'.
FYI there is another outhouse thread called What do you use for your off the grid toilet?

temp outhouse structure right now. sort of a "poop", shower and shave space....
this will become the shower only with the addition of cedar fence panels for walls and the composting toilet will go in a separate building.
