Outdoor Shower at Sunset
A swim in the salt water, a hot shower in the cool late-summer air, and dinner by the fire at sunset.
With easy access from the ocean, this outdoor shower is located in just the right place for a quick rinse. If there’s a chill in the air, an outdoor fireplace is located nearby for warmth and comfort with a view of the sunset. I can’t think of anything better … a swim in the salt water, a hot shower in the cool late-summer air, and dinner by the fire at sunset.

Plate Level
A plate level allows to you plumb walls accurately because it registers off the plates without touching potentially warped or twisted studs. This one can reach the plates on 12-ft. tall walls.

It blends in with the house very nicely. Excellent design and scale. Like all of these design ideas, I would love to see a series of photos showing this feature in relation to the patio that has the fireplace, etc. Thanks, John B. in Texas
Yeah. Pretty. Not informational at all. Can't even see the shower head, oops, there it is, well hidden. What plumbing is on the other side of that wall? what type of floor used? drainage? I would have left some of those vertical elements out and oriented the showerhead so you can see the lake while you shower. More view, less jailhouse effect.
I don't think those nice cedar shakes are going to look very good after they become stained from soap/shampoo/conditioner and water. Outdoor showers really should be situated away from the house.
Good work you have done. Keep it up.
Very interesting concept of Outdoor Shower at Sunset.. Keep sharing amazing ideas...
