Posted here awhile back asking for sheathing options for a simple vault toilet design.

The project took many turns and longer than expected, but here’s the result.

T1-11 on the outside

interior is OSB with 4’ tall sections of FRP lining the base of the toilet area and an exterior rated paining from 4’ to the ceilings

Oak veneer doors with marine grade varnish — these still get a 24”x24” metal louvre cut into them for ventilation

Thinking about eventually doing some slat wall panels above the FRP to class it up a bit and hide the strip lighting that will eventually be installed.

There are 800 gallon tanks under each toilet with a 6” base poured on top and thickened edges that county codes required.

ADA accessories include grab bars, commercial door levers, 2x commercial toilet paper holder, wall mount hand sanitizer

Now just 2 more to finish. These are for a rustic campground for those curious.

We made a lot of sacrifices to keep costs down and probably made a few decisions that ended up costing more than it should have.

Each unit also has a large storage room accessed from the back of the unit for cleaning supplies and a battery to connect to rooftop solar panels

This is our first trail project ever and we were lucky to get assistance from the local university and a student in the outdoor recreation masters program.

Questions / comments / suggestions welcome!

We plan to continue the trail to fully loop around our property and make it to the Lake Superior outlook.

One day we hope to connect directly to the trail networks in our area (NTN, iron ore heritage trail).

Any advice or links on how to address this? Haven’t been able to find much info online or in videos

I posted these on year 2 when they were just starting to break in. Now on year 6, they’re starting to fall apart and are pretty well faded.

I’ll keep these in my closet for laundry days and when I’m feeling the well worn look, but these will see minimal wear now.

To replace them, I found a pair of brand new IH 777s in my size on Grailed which will be my new primary winter wear jean. Excited to try my first pair of Iron Hearts
