Exterior Bathrooms Design Dilemma

Outdoor bath size/configuration

8 years ago

I would like to build an outdoor bathroom in my backyard so when we are swimming we don’t have to go inside the house. I don’t know what size the bathroom needs to be or how to configure it. My husband wants a urinal in there and of course a toilet and sink. There aren’t many photos I can find on here of baths like this. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Forget the urinal they get gross and just one more thing to clean. As for size it can be quite small since it only needs a toilet and a sink. An outdoor bathroom is kind of like a powder room so just think powder room. BTW I had 3 boys and a hubby and the rule in our house was you sit to pee or you get to clean the bathroom IMO the only time men ge tthe priveledge of peeing standing up should be in the woods.
