He Made His Own Septic Tank FARM HOME Miscellaneous 29-1-33 "It was simple to make and didn't cost much at all," says John Tymchuck, Hortense, Ga., who built his own septic tank.
He first poured 4 by 4-ft. sq. slabs of concrete to form the walls of the 4 by 5-ft. tank. He made tongue and groove sides, then set them into place and poured cement into the joints. The bottom of the tank slopes down to a hole in one wall which leads to a field drain pipe. A 6-in. dia. vertical pipe is used to pump out the tank. Studs on top of the tank walls hold the tank lid in place.
He used a scraper to make a 40-ft. wide by 100-ft. long field drain. The field drain pipe slopes at 1/4 in. drop per 10 ft.
