July 16, 20224 yr SWMBO has more plans for me ! Outdoor sink ( hot and cold feed ) I was thinking maybe a Belfast type sink ? . Need to wall mount it I.e it’s free standing . Any suggestions???
July 16, 20224 yr I had a Belfast sink under the outside tap (no hot!) in my last house, very useful I found. Got it for £10 off eBay or Facebook. Put mine on brick pillars but you can get cast iron wall brackets.
July 16, 20224 yr Author Was planning to hep20 to the sink . But Hep2o can’t be exposed outside can it ? Also the taps will have to be wall mounted - that means my pipework will be visible !!!! . That’s probably something I don’t want unless it looks unnaturally neat ( which it won’t )
July 16, 20224 yr Author What kind of wall mounted taps do I want ? . The wall is tiled with split face tiles so not even 🙄
July 16, 20224 yr Build it like an outdoor bar, granite top with top mount sink, then that gives you an area for taps and a cupboard underneath to hide the waste.

July 16, 20224 yr Got to make a Gordon Ramsey outdoor BBQ / kitchenette for my current clients so am about to bridge this myself. The Belfast sink is an option but can look a bit ‘clunky’, but I may dress one in with brisk piers as suggested, and tile ( mosaic ) to make it look tres bien. Will likely make a deck to one side for a tap like this…. https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/arezzo-matt-black-industrial-style-basin-mixer-tap?campaign=googlebase&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI36_3xPD9-AIVh6ztCh05Kg5REAQYASABEgJRa_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds Can be swung away to the side to fill a bucket etc or wash your feet.

July 16, 20224 yr Author Perhaps free standing taps ? . I can’t plumb through the 1 metre thick concrete wall I made ! I think maybe a better option - also no pipework visible . As Hep2o isn’t uv resistant just lag hot and cold ??
July 16, 20224 yr Why does it have to be a sink? What are you doing there. Why not a traditional stone with a shallow (6") 'sink', or a horse trough? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255623417534?hash=item3b8457cebe:g:qEoAAOSwR2NiuHVM

Sink for washing hands after gardening / cooking on bbq ; or just rinsing off blood from local corpse .

July 16, 20224 yr Author Maybe ? https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/rondo-wall-hung-small-cloakroom-basin-1th-365-x-180mm?campaign=googlebase&pagetype=shopping&PS2PVV1=7704&gclid=CjwKCAjww8mWBhABEiwAl6-2Rc0SzEPux0x-Qdh5e0sX_0VXkQ9mD2IIdwitsTMYMwXT2oqmcB-OJRoCARYQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

July 16, 20224 yr Author Larger ( don’t want the garden to look like it has a full-size sink in it ) https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/cubetto-wall-hung-small-cloakroom-basin-1th-330-x-290mm?campaign=googlebase&gclid=CjwKCAjww8mWBhABEiwAl6-2Re03fsTYJtPNUfCAmBpq5GOhzwxLaK7TGnqf07M_f_2sQqk_VaH25xoCsl4QAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
July 17, 20224 yr Look out for second hand lengths of granite / quartz worktop with a sink cutout on gumtree / Freecycle. That's what we did, got it all for free Inc the sink. Just need a tap. Plan to mount on a couple brick piers. Have the water supply sorted and just going to use a rainwater gully for the waste. Don't forget to insulate all your pipework, either that or draindown over winter.
