Chapter 18, Annex Y WASHSTAND

WASHSTAND

Using natural resources, cord and several wash basins or tubs, a washstand can be constructed. Steps to constructing a washstand:

1.Collect the natural resources, including:

a.

four poles to construct the table top (the dimensions will depend on the size and number of wash basins the washstand is being constructed for),

b.

four poles to construct the stand, two poles 180 cm in length and two 120 cm in length, and

c.

two poles the length of the washstand to form a cross-brace at the bottom.

2.Construct a box frame for the wash basins to sit in using square lashings; use the wash basin as a measuring tool.

3.Lash two sets of poles (one pole 180 cm and the other 120 cm long) using square lashings to form the stand.

4.Lash the table top to the sides and add supports as necessary.
