Common Installation Questions

Your outdoor shower kit will arrive with all the materials needed. We’re basically building our outdoor shower off designs and detailed outdoor shower plans and then we send you the kit like a “pre-fab”.

All you need are a few tools like a screw gun and level to get the outdoor shower done. For refinements like posts caps against the house, you may need a small saw.

Depending on your “handyness” on the scale of “What’s a phillips head?” to “I only think in board feet!” , expect anywhere from 2-4 hours for the standard sizes and a bit longer for deluxe styles.

We do recommend 2 people…and even a 3rd to watch and brag later that he/she did everything! Refer to our outdoor shower plans / installation or the video as useful guides.

A common question we get with outdoor shower plans and kit assembly is regarding drainage.
Drainage can easily use a small carved out area with beach pebbles, a cedar floor, or if you’re handy, a french drain.

See our post on Drainage for more >>

Post against the House

We recommend L – Brackets (angle brackets).

Choose the best for your type of siding, whether it is vinyl, brick, stone, shingle. Your hardware store can assist you as needed.
