If you are wondering what the difference is between a fixed, stand alone or stationary outdoor shower enclosure the answer is ‘no difference’. This is because they all have the same purpose or role which is to provide shower facilities outside the home. In many cases this type of enclosure is installed in an outside flat area close to the home so plumbing and drainage costs can be kept to a minimum.
If you have an outside pool then installing an outdoor shower enclosure will be a very good option for family members to use to freshen up or wash chlorine off after a swim. It can also come in handy if you only have the one bathroom and your home is overflowing with visitors and house guests.
If you are a DIY handyperson and are handy with a hammer, then building your own shower enclosure will give you a great deal of satisfaction.
There are several steps you will need to think about before you begin building your outdoor shower enclosure.. For example a suitable flat site for the enclosure preferably near your pool (if you have one) or close to the water main pipes needs to be found and the dimensions and measurements worked out.
All the building materials you will need such as treated timber posts, weatherproof ply or other suitable wooden material for the walls and bags of cement/builders mix for laying the floor will also need to be sourced and bought. If necessary a concrete mixer will need to be hired and to ensure the necessary PVC pipes are fitted correctly and plumbing work is carried out professionally, a plumber should be engaged.
For added privacy a lockable hinged door can be installed and to keep the rain out a flat tilted roof covered with corrugated iron or color steel could also be added. If there is sufficient room a small slat bench or seat can be included and used to place clothing, towels and other items on while you shower.
