Doing a shower in the country with their own hands

For some, summer is a time of romantic trips and walks along the sandy southern shore, and for most of our compatriots this season remains a simple summer season. Getting out of the clutches of the city bustle, residents of high-rise buildings breathe in a fresh, air-saturated air, with a special delight. However, the joy of being able to merge with the nature of nature does not last forever. The yearning for city communications wakes up with the first sweat. And then rescues the summer shower at the cottage, with his own hands built of improvised building materials. He quickly brings a tired body to his senses, and a cool stream of water pouring onto his head instantly pacifies the desire to jerk into the embrace of civilization.

How to make a shower in the country

By its design, an impromptu shower room resembles a beach cabin. The basis for it is a strong frame. It can be made of both metal and wooden beams. The frame must withstand the weight of the tank with water. It is usually used in the absence of water distribution. To the material from which the water tank is made, some requirements are also made. First of all, it should not prevent the natural heating of the contents of the tank. Also, the tank should be convenient for supplying water (this is not about the main water pipe). The most suitable capacity for a summer shower is a plastic barrel. It is light in weight, and the water in it very quickly heats up under the influence of the sun.

Choosing the right place

Before you build a shower in the dacha with your own hands, you need to determine the location of the cabin. Firstly, the chosen place should be illuminated as much as possible by the sun. Secondly, you need to take into account that the used water should flow somewhere. And, given the presence of green spaces and the accompaniment of water treatment with detergents, the place for draining will have to be chosen with particular care.

Plum space

In the event that there is no gutter nearby, wherever the water used in the shower could drain, it will be necessary to dig a shallow pit for drainage of water. Filling a small pit with a small drainage gravel, you can get a decent replacement for the septic tank. Given that the operation of the summer shower does not involve a large amount of drained water, it will last for several seasons. On top of a drainage pit filled with gravel and sand, you can put a wooden lattice.

Material for carcass plating

When constructing a comfortable shower in the dacha with your own hands, do not try to create conditions that are close to the bath room. The main task of the walls of the dacha version of the shower enclosure is not at all obstructing the penetration of air. It is best if the shower is blown by the wind and dried out under the ultraviolet rays. Because the carcass plating can be made from any opaque material. As a wall or a doorway, you can use a curtain or ordinary curtains for the bathroom.

Ready-made shower cabins

It's no secret that not all summer residents consider repairs at the dacha with their own hands a pleasant occupation. In a row with gardeners and amateur gardeners, you can meet the category of people for whom the dacha is a place purely for recreation. The manufacturers of portable shower cabins for dachas took care of them. In appearance, this option looks quite ordinary: a frame with a reservoir and walls. However, there are more "heaped" models - with cloakroom and electric heating. This is an excellent alternative for those who do not intend to spend a short vacation time to make a shower at the dacha with their own hands.
