How to make an outdoor shower

There is no better element for the whole family than having an outdoor shower. Being able to take a refreshing bath to cope with the summer heat is a very relaxing and pleasurable sensation for the body.

Enjoy and do it yourself with the brycus tips

We have several options to do the shower, one is to hire a company of professionals and sunbathe on the deckchair while doing it, another option is that if your hobby is do-it-yourself do it yourself.

If you have clear how you want your shower just buy the materials and get to work, if not we can give you some brycus tips.

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

2.- You can use a piece of porch, a protruding roof or a hole in a wall to couple the shower and be integrated with the house.

If, in addition to your hobby, you are a handyman, you can mimic 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 has to feel comfortable, place a good base and a drain so that the water is not stagnant, do not dirty mud and stones when everything comes out.

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

6.- If you don't want the shower to stand out in the environment, you can use a bench or shelf to leave objects such as towels and gel containers.

7.- Provide some kind of lighting not very powerful if you want to use it at night.

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

9.- For those who have pets, the outdoor shower is an excellent option to wash and refresh them, so you must take them into account when you make it.

Materials to build your outdoor shower

We have many possibilities to build the shower, the important thing is to choose the material that best suits the environment of the garden, which is easy to build as it does not have to become an engineering job.

- Wood as a warm and cozy material is a good choice. It can withstand inclement weather very well and is very resistant so it does not need much maintenance. Using wooden slats horizontally creates a very pleasant scenario.

- The stone provides a decoration very in tune with the water, also there are many types that can be integrated into any type of garden giving the feeling of taking a shower in the middle of nature.

- A bamboo shower gives a very tropical look to your environment. Enjoy a jungle environment while you refresh yourself.

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

Doing an external shower is a great success for houses with gardens because we move the life outside the house in the summer season and avoid dirtying the inside of the house with the moments of the bathrooms.
