how deep should an outhouse be
A good-sized hole for an outhouse is about 3'-5' deep and an average outhouse is about 4' x 4' around and 7' tall. The bench, or shelf, should be about 2' wide and 2' high, and of course, completely boxed in. The hole can be about 10-12 in diameter. Place your outhouse about 50'-150' away from the house.
