Outdoor Barrel Showers

How does an outdoor barrel shower work?

Simplicity is the key. Most of our barrel showers are designed to connect directly to a standard garden hose, providing a refreshing cold-water rinse. Some models also come equipped with fixtures that can be connected to a plumbed hot water source by a professional, giving you the option for a warm, comfortable shower any time.

What is the benefit of the barrel design?

The barrel design is all about rustic beauty and durability. The vertical cedar staves create a stunning visual that blends seamlessly into any garden, cottage, or backyard setting. Cedar is naturally resistant to weather and decay, ensuring your shower will be a beautiful and functional feature for many years.

What kind of foundation do I need?

You don't need a complex foundation. A barrel shower should be placed on any firm, level surface that allows for adequate water drainage. A simple gravel pad, a section of your deck, or a few patio stones are all excellent options. The goal is simply to ensure the shower is stable and water can drain away easily.

Is assembly difficult?

Not at all. Our outdoor barrel showers are designed as simple kits that are easy for one or two people to assemble in just an hour or two using basic household tools. The components are pre-milled for a perfect fit, making the process straightforward and rewarding.
