The Random Showers Outdoors

All these showers outdoors are as the heading describes they are a shower placed randomly outside on a wall or structure to make the outdoor shower work.

Standalone Outdoor Showers

These types of showers are often built structures that appear different from the space opposed to a more natural blending outdoor shower.

Tiled Outdoor Shower

So with tiled outdoor showers, they are the more traditional set-up with a tile floor base and tiled wall.

Indoor/Outdoor Shower

Indoor/outdoor shower are exactly as it sounds it’s a shower that is in the home but also facing outside.

These types of showers are big in Australia as they work in both winter and summer months.

Outdoor Shower Wet Rooms

Outdoor wet rooms are exactly like a traditional indoor wet room set-up but used more natural products instead of traditional tile setups.

How much does it cost to put in an outdoor shower in Australia?

So when it comes to working out how much an outdoor shower costs to install in Australia you are looking at the $1000 to $10000 range. This cost covers the products themselves and the plumbing to install them as well as the coverings you want to make your outdoor shower your dream shower.

You can always save by doing it your self and there are so many different levels of these showers you can probably DIY it but I would stay away.

ABI do a great floor-standing shower you can check out below that usually costs around $1500 which looks amazing but might make the process a lot easier and gives you a better cost idea fo the outdoor shower.

What Is an Outdoor Shower?

As covered above the outdoor shower is a shower cubical area designed for the purpose of getting clean before entering a house.

The outdoor shower can be enclosed or not even semi-internal to the house but showering outdoor can usually will be exposed to the above elements.

Pros and Cons of an Outdoor Shower (Australia)

Pros:

• The choice will ruin your brain trying to decide what style you want
• Cost wise you are not stuck spending a fortune
• Will add both values in terms of cost and telling your partner how cool is that outdoor shower.
• Saves those grubby feet or sand coming into the house
• Pools will stay cleaner for longer
• Those furry friends can be washed down at easier convivence

Cons:

• Exposing it to the elements makes it harder to clean
• Heavy use in summer but limited the rest of the year
• Can be super complicated to install
• Without proper protection, you can feel exposed

Outdoor Shower Maintenance and Cleaning

Evidently, the word cleaning will come out for these showers. When cleaning or maintaining an outdoor shower follow my steps below.

• Sun Placement Is Key – You really want the sun beaming on your outdoor shower as much as possible to keep mould and moisture building up if the shower is not kept dry enough.
• Plants are your enemy- Twigs, leave and all the nasty’s will clog your drains if not kept clean regularly.
• Winter Is Coming – The cold weather is not ideal for exposed outdoor showers as the pipes can freeze but it’s only in really cold climates to worry about keeping their pipes flushed when not using them.

Do outdoor showers need a drain?

Yes, an outdoor shower needs a drain. Without a drain, the outdoor shower effectively flood your space if left on or leaks.

The drain is usually placed at a central location to make sure the shower drains properly.

You can do outdoor showers that drain to the garden but they are really hit-and-miss and do not look great to me.

What is a good size for an outdoor shower?

The ideal size for an outdoor shower is 1m x 1m if you have the room. The way to look at is a normal indoor shower is 900mm x 900mm.

The extra 100mm allows you to install protection if you are wanting it making the 1m the perfect side for the outdoor shower.

1000mm x 1000mm also allows you to have a much larger cut for your floor tiles to give you way less grout.
