For many urban people, being outside the city is often clouded by the need to endure the lack of familiar amenities. Having a shower in the courtyard is not only practical and convenient, but also beautiful. Sophisticated design of the wash area will add flavor and a touch of creativity to the style of the local area.
Summer shower today - this is not a pair of wooden walls with a watering can, where it is not always pleasant to go. This is a complete engineering structure, the choice of which should be approached very carefully.
Types of models and their features
The variants of the design of the summer shower are divided into closed and open. Often make out the half-closed space, where on one wall is a watering can, and on the other fixing accessories for clothes. The entrance can be arranged with a door, a curtain, or left open.
The shower can also be divided according to the method of water supply. This may be a tank located above, in which water is heated by the sun's rays. The second option is to connect to the 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 the structure in the courtyard, be sure to think of drainage. If soapy water goes anywhere and falls, for example, on the beds, it will have a detrimental effect on plants. From this point of view, the location of the shower area near the wall of the house allows you to use the already completed sewage system, and also to connect to the water supply system without any problems.
Installing a shower cabin
The classic version of the summer shower is a shower cabin. The material often serves wood and plastic with a metal frame. The easiest way to buy a finished structure, but it is easy to make it yourself.
Special attention should be paid to the tree. In combination with any finishing material of the facade of the house, a wooden cabin looks fashionable and harmonious. The coating is treated with special agents against moisture, preventing the formation of fungus, rotting and development of parasites.
The color of the shower stall is usually close to the color of the walls of the house, or it has the same shade as the gazebo or garage. Less commonly, it is used to emphasize attention by choosing bright, eye-catching colors.
We put the 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 ready-made sewers and proximity to water communications. However, constant humidity adversely affects the wall covering, and poor drainage leads to a gradual destruction of the foundation. Therefore, it is better to revet a wall with tiles, and think over the drainage system to the smallest detail.
Another positive point - the presence of lighting. The facade of the building is always equipped with lamps, so taking a shower in the evening is easy.
Tile serves as a decorative and protective element for the wall of the house. It can be ceramic, stone, "marbled", large or small, the main thing is that it be in the same style with the surrounding objects. For example, in the presence of a pool, it is better to make the lining in the same colors as the bowl.
It is beneficial to use stone tiles together with vegetation. This creates the illusion of natural nature. These shower areas are usually open, with no additional walls.
High-tech fans often choose stainless steel sheets for decoration. This is quite a budget way, at the same time, the design looks modern and fashionable.
An additional tap, installed at the bottom of the knee, allows you to wash your feet and shoes after working in the garden, as well as the feet of pets.
Installing a shower in the garden
The shower room located on the site does not damage the foundation and the wall of the house. The basis for it is any partition made of wood or stone, to which a watering can is attached with taps. Due to the lack of protection from drafts, on cold and windy days, you can freeze or ache while taking a shower. The surface of the partition can be decorated with tiles, or, if you go down the path of cheaper, to do with plastic sheets. 
Unusual futuristic models of shower structures have a decisive influence on the perception of the entire structure. When choosing large watering cans, which are attached in an unusual way and imitating rain sprays, it should be borne in mind that in order to function normally a strong water pressure is required.
Original accessories and forms of shower racks are more important than refined partitions. For example, a fashionable watering can installed on a conventional concrete support of the fence is in itself an interesting object. It can perform the function of a reservoir where a small amount of water accumulates in case of a supply outage.
Summer shower can be installed anywhere. You can realize any fantasies and ideas. In some cases, the construction will be cheaper and easier. In the other, it will cost a pretty penny, and a lot of energy will be spent on it. But the final result will please you for many years and it will turn out exactly the way you planned it.
