Pocster Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 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??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonner Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocster Posted July 16, 2022 Author Share Posted July 16, 2022 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 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted July 16, 2022 Author Share Posted July 16, 2022 What kind of wall mounted taps do I want ? . The wall is tiled with split face tiles so not even 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell griffiths Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickfromwales Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocster Posted July 16, 2022 Author Share Posted July 16, 2022 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 ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyT Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Cover the hep2o with armaflex insulation it’s uv stable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sink for washing hands after gardening / cooking on bbq ; or just rinsing off blood from local corpse . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conor Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
