Freestanding Outdoor Showers

Buildmat supplies freestanding outdoor showers to renovators, builders and homeowners across Australia. Unlike wall-mounted showers, freestanding shower columns can be installed in open spaces without an existing wall, making them a practical choice for pool areas, gardens and outdoor bathrooms.

Choosing a Freestanding Outdoor Shower

Freestanding outdoor showers come in different configurations, so think about how you'll use yours before choosing a model.

• Overhead shower: A fixed shower head provides comfortable, full-body water coverage, making it ideal for rinsing off after swimming.

• Hand shower: A handheld showerhead and flexible shower hose make it easier to rinse sandy feet, wash pets and clean the surrounding area.

• Twin shower: Combines an overhead shower and hand shower in one freestanding unit, giving you the flexibility of both without installing separate shower systems.

• Materials and finishes: Look for weather-resistant materials such as 316 stainless steel, particularly for coastal properties. Choose a finish that complements your outdoor space, whether that's brushed stainless steel, brushed nickel, brushed gold, brushed bronze or graphite.

For alternative setups, explore our outdoor shower rails and sets or outdoor shower heads and arms.

What We'd Check Before You Buy

A freestanding outdoor shower needs more planning than simply choosing a location. Here's what we'd check before ordering.

• Water supply: Check whether your shower needs hot and cold water connections and where the supply pipes will run. If you're considering a garden hose connection or rainwater tank, confirm compatibility with your plumber before purchasing.

• Mounting: Freestanding shower columns need a stable mounting surface and secure fixing points. Check the installation specifications before laying decking, concrete or paving.

• Drainage: Plan where the water will go, particularly if you're installing the shower beside a pool or close to your home. Your plumber can advise on drainage requirements.

• Temperature control: Check how the shower controls water temperature and whether a separate mixer or additional plumbing components are required.

• Placement: Consider privacy screens, surrounding landscaping and access from the pool or garden. Leave enough space to use the overhead and hand shower comfortably.

Freestanding Outdoor Shower Prices at Buildmat

Freestanding outdoor showers are generally a larger investment than individual wall-mounted shower heads or shower rails because they combine multiple shower components in one unit.

Our current Nero Zen freestanding shower columns range from approximately $2,000 to $2,800, depending on the finish.

Installation costs are additional and depend on the available plumbing, mounting surface and drainage requirements. Check the product listings above for current pricing.
