Outdoor Shower

An outdoor shower provides a practical rinse-off station near pools, beaches, and gardens while offering one of the most exhilarating bathing experiences possible—showering beneath the open sky surrounded by natural scenery. Beyond the functional benefit of keeping sand, chlorine, and garden soil outside the house, outdoor showers add a resort-like luxury to residential properties that significantly enhances their appeal and value. Outdoor shower designs range from simple cold-water rinse stations attached to a garden hose to fully plumbed hot-and-cold fixtures with custom enclosures, rain shower heads, and drainage systems. Enclosure options include slatted wood privacy screens, living plant walls, stone or tile surrounds, and open-air designs that rely on strategic garden placement for privacy. The plumbing can be as simple as a wall-mounted shower head connected to an exterior hose bib or as elaborate as a dedicated hot water supply with mixing valve and multiple spray heads. Proper drainage through a French drain, dry well, or connection to the home's gray water system is essential for preventing erosion and standing water.
