Here's a plan for an outhouse designed by AT&T "Long Lines" Division back in the 1920s
AT&T needed a specification for everything including the outhouse design.
 

Here's our initial sketch
Pit toilets have probably been around since the beginning of time.
Every so often you need to build a new one.
 

Laying out the basic dimensions 4X8.
Decided to use a discarded plastic barrel with the bottom and top cutoff.
We assumed this would prevent the sides of the hole from falling in over time.
An internal 3" vent tube runs vertical to fresh air.
 

These guys are real pros
Note the "batter boards" used in the corners for this 4x8 building
L-R Tyler, Brandon, Grier

It all begins with the foundation being plumb and level
4X4s on brackets, all PT. This was about the only non-valhalla lumber used.

All lumber was from valhalla stock of rough cut fir and hemlock
A local sawmill run by Paul VonStubbe is happy to cut whatever size and length

We built the roof trusses in the woodshop, all from one template

Final framing.
Key design note: the 4x4 wall caps provide strength to support the porch.

 

Siding going on
  My friends from Urban Frontier took charge and had this thing up in no time. https://urbanfrontierllc.com/

3" vertical pipe vents the sealed box.
Coffee can holds a roll of TP due to field mice in the woods
 

Al the amenities like a shelf for hand sanitizer and a grab rail

Complete with a coat of paint
