Garden Hose Outdoor Sink

@homeroad started with an old bathroom sink, then added a pressure treated wood frame with a lower shelf and towel rack.

Instead of new plumbing, a garden hose connects to the sink and a hose nozzle functions as the faucet. A hose splitter lets you connect two garden hoses to one spigot. The water in the sink drains into a watering can — simple and efficient!

Garden Bench Outdoor Sink

A garden bench that includes an outdoor sink, like this one from @whiterosefarmhouse, works well for watering plants and storing gardening materials and tools.

This antique sink lacks running water, but you can plug it up and fill it with water when needed. And when potting plants (as shown here), place a bucket under the drain hole to catch extra soil so there’s no waste.

Vintage Style Outdoor Sink

Here’s another outdoor sink that started with a vintage porcelain model purchased at a flea market. As part of their backyard barbecue area, the husband and wife team of @fauxfarmfixer built a wood plank base and poured a concrete countertop. The sink drains into a bucket underneath that’s hidden by the simple fabric curtain.
