Outdoor Shower Enclosures

Outdoor showers are common in backyards and swimming pools. They not only accentuate the area, they also provide a comfortable place to freshen or clean up after a swim or walk under the heat of the sun. Some outdoor showers are made to be portable, making them ideal for camping and hiking. To complete the functionality of these outdoor showers, they often come with enclosures for privacy and protection.

Outdoor shower enclosures are used to enfold the outdoor shower area for privacy especially if many people tend to pass by it. They can be designed to be built together with the outdoor shower system or installed as a separate unit that that can be suspended from wooden pipes or wire attachments over the outdoor shower. Outdoor shower enclosures are essential accessories to outdoor shower systems.

Types of outdoor shower enclosures

There are two primary types of shower enclosures according to construction. One type is built permanently around the backyard or garden shower, while the other is a portable design made for temporary use.

Fixed outdoor shower enclosures are designed to be permanently installed around the outdoor shower areas. They provide permanence, ultimate comfort, and adequate space for showering and changing of clothes. They are commonly used in backyard or garden shower areas.

Fixed outdoor shower enclosures are available in different shapes and sizes. They are built according to the total surface area of the outdoor shower to be enclosed. They are usually made of wood, providing extra durability and protection from the damages caused by water. Most models are made with hinged and lockable doors for added privacy especially when used in public places such as resorts and swimming pools.

Portable outdoor shower enclosures, on the other hand, have a lighter and more compact design than the fixed models. They are designed to be set up every time it is needed and taken down when not in use. They serve as portable toilet enclosures or small changing rooms.

Most portable outdoor shower enclosures are made with entrances that snap easily to secure the enclosure. They are usually made with inflation rings at the upper and lower portions for extra stability. They are easy to install and take down. They are also easy to transport and store.

Choosing and installing outdoor shower enclosures

Before choosing the type of outdoor shower enclosure you want, determine your purpose first. If you need to use it permanently in your backyard because you have a pool, then choose a fixed outdoor shower enclosure. On the other hand, if you intend to use it only when you go camping or hiking, then get a portable model.

Installing portable outdoor shower enclosures is not difficult since they come with instructional manuals. Setting up fixed models is harder, however, and they may take a lot of time. To ensure perfect installation, seek the advice and assistance of professional installers.
