I LOVE this idea! I want to do this…no pool. We do have a camp house where people come in from hunting, fishing, playing in the dirt, planting gardens, etc. I think this would be an awesome addition. That way the dirty clothes could stay outside during spring, summer and fall. (Way south Georgia where it is very warm except for November-mid March.

I’m extremely inspired with your writing talents as smartly as with the layout on your weblog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself? Anyway keep up the excellent high quality writing, it is rare to look a nice weblog like this one nowadays..

We’ve been talking about building an outdoor shower off and on for a while now, but we are miles from any swimming hole or lake and don’t have a pool, so it would be just for cleaning off after gardening and perhaps cleaning up the children a bit after some serious backyard playtime! We talked about making it ‘solar’ by putting a coiled black hose on a roof and letting the sun warm the water – the problem with that would be regulating the temperature so we didn’t get scalded! There is something so very fun about an outdoor shower! Perhaps we’ll just start with a ‘foot shower’ like they have at the hotels in Mackinac, MI so we don’t bring quite so much dirt into the house!

In reply to Christina. OH and one more thing about our shower- my uncle installed a little water fountain that was connected to the shower line, it was at kid height directly below the shower head. For what reason? In case you're parched while showering? To get my cousin to stop drinking straight from the hose? No clue. However, as kids we thought it was the neatest thing.

We had an outdoor shower at my aunt’s house next door when we were kids. It was camouflaged by a large bush. In between the bush and the wall of the shower was just enough space for 3 or 4 kids to sit behind and call their “secret hideout”. It wasn’t so secret from the adults, they just couldn’t fit in there with us. We used to rinse off from the pool, wash the chlorine out of our hair… I remember taking actual real showers in it only a few times- those few times after being in the pool all day on a Saturday right before going to church for an evening service. We would NEVER be allowed to wear swim apparel to church though our hair may have been dampish 😉 After church, back in the pool for a summer night’s swim. I would LOVE an outdoor shower at our little bungalow since we are right up the street from our lake. However, with the way our house is situated on our hill, it could get awkward with the neighbors being able to look down into it. 😉
