Outdoor Shower

The privacy wall for this unit matches the decking.

By Ken Gutmaker

Nothing makes me happier than to discover an outdoor shower at a home. Even the most formal seems to have a casual attitude. This shower is paired down to its most basic elements while still in keeping with the home’s Modern design. Open to the sun and breeze, the wall of Epi (which matches the decking) provides just enough privacy.
