How can an outdoor shower cool you down in summer?
There is much to be said about the advantages of an outdoor shower, but in the summer, when it is hot, such a solution is especially appreciated. It is a simple way to get a little refreshment at any time, so it is no wonder that a garden shower is gaining more and more supporters, fitting into modern trends. What is more, it is not only a comfortable but also an exceptionally functional solution. An outdoor shower allows for a little refreshment, but also makes it easier to take care of hygiene. When working in the garden, you can often sweat, especially when it is very hot outside. Having an outdoor shower allows you to quickly rinse off. This is also a great convenience for children, playing e.g. in a sandbox. Above all, it is an excellent way to quickly and pleasantly cool down in hot weather.
Modern solutions are more than just functional and practical, because when properly made and placed, they can perfectly emphasize the unique character of a garden arrangement.
Where is the best place to place an outdoor shower?
The location of an outdoor shower in the garden depends primarily on the technical possibilities of connecting the water. For this reason, it is often located directly on the wall of the building, although free-standing models are increasingly appearing and being used. Much also depends on the type of shower, currently distinguished:
-
solar showers, which use solar energy to heat water, do not need electricity, which is not only an ecological solution, but also an economic one, but it is necessary to connect it to a hose connected to the water installation; - gravity shower, which is the simplest solution and very easy to install, you need a water container, a garden hose and a water gun, but for the whole thing to work properly, it is necessary to place the water container high so that the gravity forces of the mist work;
- shower on a tripod, by choosing this solution you can place the shower basically anywhere in the garden, and the water is supplied to it using a garden hose; the shower on a tripod can also act as a tourist shower, which will make it easier to bathe and cool down not only in the garden, but also during trips.
The decision on the shower variant is the first step. Knowing which model, you need to choose the right location, especially in the case of free-standing solutions. While solutions attached to the wall of the building will always be solidly attached, in the case of free-standing solutions you need to pay attention to, among other things, the stability of the ground and the possibility of water drainage. If the terrain is slightly sloping, it will be quite simple, in other situations and depending on the installation location, it is worth considering linear drainage.
How to properly supply water to an outdoor shower?
A garden shower, sometimes also referred to as a portable shower, requires water to operate, and the method of connecting it depends on the selected device variant. Models located on the wall of the house can be connected to an external water outlet, which is usually not a complicated task. In the case of free-standing showers, it will be necessary to supply water. The simplest solution, which also allows you to change the location of the shower, is to connect the device to a garden hose. It is important to choose its diameter appropriately, taking into account both the technical needs of the column itself and the available water valve. If the so-called tap and the tourist shower have a different diameter, appropriate reductions will also be necessary.
