Outdoor shower made of corrugated board. Stages of work
The design of a summer shower can be completely different, we suggest a simple project. The outdoor shower will consist of a central pillar with plumbing fixtures and side walls sheathed with corrugated board. The work can be done in just 4-5 hours, and then wait for the sealant to dry completely and operate the structure.
1. Choose a place where you want to build an outdoor shower. It is advisable to build it near trees or bushes if the structure consists of only 2 walls. The shower according to our project is very simple and compact, so it is unlikely that it will be able to become an architectural landmark of your site..
2. Take the profile pipes and use the self-tapping screws to prepare the shower frame. When calculating the size of the frame, take into account the dimensions of the corrugated sheets, as well as the fact that the pipe will need to be dug into the ground to a depth of about 1 m.
3. Now you can sheathe the frame with corrugated board using self-tapping screws. Do not forget to check the verticality with the level.
4. Take the pipe that will act as the center post. Dig it into the ground. Attach the side posts made of corrugated board.
5. Assemble the shower structure from pipes, hose and nozzle, which will then be attached to the center column. Don’t forget the tap fitting. When you attach the shower to the counter, you need to make a hole last in order to push the water pipe through it. A coupling is attached to the end of the pipe, and a garden hose is attached to it..
An outdoor shower made of corrugated board is ready. For a comfortable bath, use a wooden trellis or smooth stones on the floor. Now on your summer cottage there is an oasis for refreshment in the summer heat.
