A [[Single Ventilated Improved Pit|Ventilated Improved Pit]] (VIP, S.3) is slightly more expensive than a single pit, but greatly reduces the nuisance of flies and odours, while increasing comfort. If a urine-diverting User Interface is used, only faeces are collected in the pit and leaching can be minimized.

Another variation is the unlined shallow pit that may be appropriate for areas where digging is difficult. When the shallow pit is full, it can be covered with leaves and soil and a small tree can be planted. This concept is called the Arborloo and is a successful way of avoiding costly emptying, while containing excreta, and reforesting an area. The Arborloo is discussed in more detail on the [[Fill and Cover - Arborloo]] section.
