Dave&Olive Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 [quote user="cakes"]Does anyone know ,why you have to bury a fosse in the ground,apart from it being an eye sore.[/quote] just might be because water from the down stairs loo will not flow up hill.

trumpet Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I will stick my neck out and say that there are no regs for what you ask...........wait a while and someone will correct me. Or say I am right. Dave and Olive do make sense though. And as you live on a mountain..............................[Www] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave&Olive Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 hi ok I will stick my neck out too and say think you might need planning permission ,doubt very much if you will get it ,pipes hanging in the air ect , the sun and plastic tanks not a good mix so you will probable have to fit a concrete one just a few thoughts.. good luck never been asked to fit one above ground ...a trip to the mayor springs to mind .

woolybanana (ex tag) Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Very strict regulations indeed nowadays which usually require plans, site visits, approvals, careful installation, revisits (2) and approval. Cost probably in the region of 4500euros minimum depending on the size of house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Guerriere Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 I doubt whether a plastic fosse would be capable of standing up to the internal water pressure if it was standing alone on the ground. Might be OK if it had a retaining wall built round it with some rebar in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panda Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 HelloWe had a fosse that was 'standalone' in a one of the properties we now rent out. Mains drainage was available by the time we bought the place but the old fosse was in the cellar and was full, nice! It was in perfect condition and had apparently been there for years so it is possible and internal water pressure seemed not to be an issue. We had it emptied and taken away, what a smell, it did not smell whilst in situ though.Panda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
