Building an outdoor shower

After building the wood shed, we thought that it would be nice to built an out door shower in connection to the wood shed.
The outdoor showering season started in April, when we actually had to shovel snow out of the outdoor shower before using it, but when the sun is shining the temperature is comfortable. We are using it untill late autumn if it is not too cold and windy.



The outdoor shower is built on the back side of the wood shed, facing the forest

 

 

When the bucket is placed in the sun for a couple of hours before use the water temperature will
be fairly warm, but usually we boil a couple of kettles of water and pour in
to raise the temperature a bit. The water is heated by wood stove or propane stove



The bucket with water is raised up to three meters to create water pressure

My girl friend made these clothes hooks from birch tree

There is a stepping stone on the floor.
In cold temperature it is recommended to wear flip-flops as the stone can be quite cold

The shower head has a switch to turn off the water, for better water conservation.
The bucket contains 20 liters of water which is plenty for a quick shower
