What Do I Need to Plan Before Installing an Outdoor Shower?

Start with the location. When installing an outdoor shower, think about whether the shower is close to a pool, spa, or beach access point, or whether it’s in a more private part of the backyard.

You’ll also need to plan for water run-off and flooring. Stone, decking, and concrete can all work, but the area needs to handle water safely.

Then choose the shower format. We stock outdoor shower heads and arms, shower rails, shower mixers, shelves, towel rails, and robe hooks. Decide whether you want a simple cold-water rinse point or a fuller setup with a mixer and accessories.

We'd always suggest involving a licensed plumber early. They can confirm water supply, drainage, plumbing requirements, and what needs to happen before surfaces are finished.
