outdoor sink for kids

The "outdoor" sink is standard at camp grounds and such.

The solution is to create a good sized "dry well" to receive the water. The cheap way of doing this is to just size a BIG hole where the sink will end up and fill it with 3/4" stones. The sink drain will barely extend to below the surface so that the kids dont' get splashed. The foot valve is a good idea. The gravel surface will keep the area around the sink from becoming a mud pit.

I figure an empty barrel (with the bottom cut out) would be better. A pit full of stones holds less water than an empty space under the sink.

Of course, burried a foot or so under, so it's not too obvious.
