We bring to life the best ideas for building a summer shower in the country
For many urban people, out-of-town travel is often overshadowed by the need to endure the lack of familiar amenities. Having a shower in the yard is not only practical and convenient, but also beautiful. A well thought-out design of the washing area will add taste and a touch of creativity to the style of the local area.
Types of models and their features
Summer shower design options are divided into closed and open. Often, semi-enclosed spaces are made out, where a watering can is located on one wall, and fasteners for clothes on the other. The entrance can be decorated with a door, curtain, or left open.
The shower can also be divided according to the type of water supply. This can be a reservoir located on top, in which the water is heated by the sun's rays. The second option is to connect to water supply system... For obvious reasons, it is preferable - there is no need to add water, and there will be no problems with heating.
When installing a structure in the yard, be sure to consider the drainage system. If soapy water goes anywhere and gets, for example, on the beds, then this will have a detrimental effect on the plants. From this point of view, the location of the shower area near the wall of the house allows you to use a ready-made sewage system, as well as connect to the water supply without any problems.
Installation of a shower cabin
Classic version summer shower - shower cubicle. The material is often wood and plastic with a metal frame. The easiest way is to buy a ready-made structure, but it is not difficult to make it yourself.
Special attention should be paid to wood. In combination with any finishing material of the facade of the house, the wooden booth looks fashionable and harmonious. The coating is treated with special anti-moisture agents that prevent the formation of fungus, rotting and the development of parasites.
The color of the shower stall, as a rule, is close to the color of the walls of the house, or has the same shade as the gazebo or garage. Less commonly, it is used to accentuate attention by choosing bright, eye-catching colors.
We put a shower near the wall of the house
This choice of location has several advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, it is very convenient to use a ready-made sewerage system and proximity to water communications. However, constant humidity negatively affects the wall covering, and poor drainage leads to the gradual destruction of the foundation. Therefore, it is better to tile the wall, and think over the drainage to the smallest detail.
Another positive point is the presence of lighting. The facade of the building is always equipped with lamps, so taking a shower in the evening is not difficult.
The tile serves as a decorative and protective element for the wall of the house. It can be ceramic, stone, marbled, large or small, as long as it is in the same style with the surrounding objects. For example, if there is pool, it is better to make the cladding in the same colors as the bowl.
It is beneficial to use stone tiles together with vegetation. This creates an illusion of natural nature. These shower areas are usually open, without additional walls.
Fans of high-tech style often choose stainless steel sheets for finishing.This is a fairly budgetary way, while the design looks modern and fashionable.
An additional tap installed at the bottom at knee level allows you to wash your feet and shoes after gardening, as well as the paws of pets.
Installing a shower in the garden
The shower room located on the site does not harm the foundation and wall of the house. The basis for it is any partition made of wood or stone, to which a watering can with taps is attached. Due to the lack of protection from drafts, on cold and windy days, you can freeze or get sick when taking a shower. The surface of the partition can be decorated with tiles, or, if you follow the path of reducing the cost, you can get by with plastic sheets.
Unusual futuristic shower structures have a decisive influence on the perception of the entire structure. When choosing large watering cans that are attached in an unusual way and simulate rain streams, it should be borne in mind that a strong pressure of water will be required for normal operation.
The original accessories and shapes of shower racks are more important than sophisticated partitions. For example, a fashionable watering can, installed on an ordinary concrete support of a fence, is already an interesting object in itself. It can act as a reservoir where a small amount of water is stored in case of a supply interruption.
An outdoor shower can be installed anywhere. You can make any fantasies and ideas come true. In some cases, construction will be cheaper and easier. In another, it will cost a pretty penny, and a lot of energy will be spent on it. But the final result will delight you for many years and will turn out exactly as you planned it.
