What Are the Different Types of Outdoor Showers?
Freestanding outdoor showers are standalone outdoor structures that do not require attachment to existing walls or structures. They typically consist of a sturdy base or platform, a vertical support structure, and a showerhead. Freestanding showers offer flexibility in placement, such as on a deck, patio, or poolside. These showers often feature a sleek and modern design, with options for various materials such as stainless steel, teak, or composite materials. Freestanding outdoor showers provide a convenient and refreshing way to rinse off after swimming or sunbathing, enhancing the outdoor living experience.
On the other hand, wall-mounted outdoor showers are fixtures attached directly to an existing wall or structure. They come in a range of styles and designs, from simple and utilitarian to more decorative and elaborate. Wall mount showers save space and can be installed in areas with limited room, such as on the side of a house or near a garden wall. These showers typically require plumbing connections to the existing water supply and drainage system. Wall-mounted outdoor showers offer a permanent and convenient bathing solution for outdoor spaces, providing a seamless blend of functionality and style.
