How to make an outdoor shower

We have several options for showering, one is to hire a professional company and sunbathe on the deckchair while they do it, another option is that if your hobby is DIY, you can do it for yourself.

If you are clear about how you want your shower, you only have to buy the materials and get to work, otherwise we can give you some Poolfunstore advice .

1.- Choose if you prefer an open or closed shower since there are materials to do it in all ways. Study the environment of the garden and the house so that it is integrated.

2.- You can use a piece of porch, a roof overhang or a hole in some wall to connect the shower and integrate it with the house.

3.- If in addition to your hobby you are a handyman, you can blend the shower with the vegetation of the garden or with the walls of the house or the fence.

4.- Think that it is a shower for the whole family and you have to feel comfortable, put a good base and a drain so that the water does not remain stagnant , we do not dirty mud and stones when everything comes out.

5.- You can use the pipes of the shower to give an architectural touch to the landscape or if you don't like them, you can embed or hide them to the maximum.

6.- If you do not want the shower to stand out much in the environment, you can use a bench or shelf to leave objects such as the towel and the gel containers.

7.- Provide some type of lighting that is not very powerful in case you want to use it at night.

8.- When you do not have a fixed place to build the shower or you do not like it to be part of the garden environment, there are models that can be moved and work by connecting the irrigation hose.

- A good material to do the work is polished cement widely used in coastal areas, especially in the Mediterranean area where the whitish color is consistent with the houses and towns in the area. An additional aspect is its resistance and easy maintenance.
