Have you ever had a shower outside on a sunny, warm day? It’s a great way to refresh yourself when it’s hot. Plus, if you live near the beach, an outdoor shower makes it easy to rinse the sand off before going indoors. These outdoor shower ideas are an easy project that can add to your patio or yard, enhance the beauty of your landscaping and add value to your home.

Adding an outdoor shower is as easy as converting a water hose or spigot into a shower. But that only offers a cold water shower, which may be all you need. Alternately, you can call in a plumber to bring hot water to the spot.

Buy one of these ready-to-go outdoor showers and you can get set up quickly and easily:

Pottery Barn Outdoor Shower With Shelf, $399

Ready to go, this shower includes the deck-like stand, shower hardware and wall shelf to hold your soaps, shampoo and hanging items.

Oceanside Outdoor Shower Enclosure, $365

This vinyl enclosure with a curtain adds privacy to your existing outdoor shower. It does not include the shower hardware.

Anself Outdoor Solar Shower, $214

If you prefer to have a warm water outdoor shower, this one uses solar power to heat the water supplied from your hose.

If you really want to add lasting value to your home or condo, you’ll need something more permanent. Check out these creative outdoor shower ideas that you can add to your space, large or small, to create your very own water oasis.
