Outdoor Shower in the Garden with Weather-Resistant Polyethylene Panels
Submitted byEric
Eric has built an amazing outdoor shower in his garden, using weather-proof polyethylene sheets. This shower is a fantastic solution to stay fresh on warm summer days without getting your bathroom wet.
The project
Eric cleverly assembled his own outdoor shower using durable materials that withstand the elements well. Eric explains: “For the outdoor shower, I first prepared the water connection in the fence. I constructed the rest of the outdoor shower by standing a decking board upright. Behind this board is the water connection with a tap and rain shower head connected by a polyethylene hose. The floor is covered with a small deck surrounded by pebbles. I sealed the top and back with polyethylene sheets.”
