Buildings
We offer two pre-fab building systems: the Wishbone and the Pan Abode. Custom or site built options exist but these tend to be more expensive to build and maintain than our pre-fab and warrantied products.
Pre-fab aluminum frame
We are all about reusing waste as much as we are about minimizing it. Our prefab building frames are made from extruded aluminum and use fiberglass reinforced plastic wall panel board or T&G cedar. These buildings are available for both toilet types (Decompose, and Waste Away) and come in two sizes (regular and ADA). We offer single stalls or joined blocks (wall-sharing) connecting up to 5 stalls. For single-stall buildings, we offer a classic gable roof architecture for ADA sized buildings or the more modern shed roof for standard-sized toilets. Only the 'shed' roofline is compatible with multiple joined stalls. Check out our Accessories for all other options.

Custom Design
Sometimes a site warrants a custom design or retrofit. Many of our early installations were custom designs that housed the BTW urine-diverting toilet. Chris McCrumb built many of these toilets in the remote B.C. back country that he loved and served for many years.
