Folding shower: review of 3 popular options
Folding designs today are incredibly popular, because they provide a lot of advantages, ranging from saving usable space and ending with saving the family budget. The same trend has affected the summer soul, which does not necessarily have to be a capital durable building. In this article we will consider the most simple and portable options for its implementation.
Description
To begin with, what specialized shops can offer us:
Option number 1: tent
Folding shower in the form of a tent has many advantages:
- Elementary installation instructions. This device has a semi-automatic frame, thanks to which the installation process is carried out in one motion, as if you are just opening an umbrella.
- Mobility. When assembled, this tent takes up very little space, due to which it is great not only for giving, but also for hiking.
- Multifunctionality. In addition to the shower, this construction can be used as an outdoor toilet or even a small utility block.
- Practicality. All elements are made of durable and durable materials that are not subject to corrosion.
- High wind resistance. Allows you to feel comfortable even in an open field.
Dimensions:
| Parameter | Value |
| Height | 198 cm |
| Place occupied | 125 × 125 cm |
| Folded dimensions | 106–14.5–14.5 cm |
Tip: in the campaign as a tank with water is recommended to use a portable shower bag. Such a device can also be conveniently folded, which does not cause you trouble in the natural environment.
Option number 2: prefab frame
If you plan to use the shower exclusively at the cottage, and not on a camping trip, then an interesting solution would be to install a prefabricated frame of metal shaped tubes. In this case, you can freely place on it a voluminous tank, designed for several people.
Tip: it is recommended in this case to get a flat plastic tank in black. This design will be heated in the sun the fastest.
Specifications:
| Parameter | Value |
| Frame material | Profile Steel Pipes |
| Section of used pipes | 35 to 35 mm |
| Pipe wall thickness | 3 mm |
| Coating | Polymeric powder paint of white color |
| Wall material | Polyester |
| Height | 220 cm |
| Place occupied | 101-101 cm |
The advantages of this design:
- DIY assembly accessibility. All frame elements are reliably interconnected by bolts, after which the three walls are fixed with screws through the grommets, and the fourth is fixed using rings on the upper tube, which allows it to move aside, representing a kind of door. All this is described in detail in the accompanying instructions and is easily doable on their own at home. At the end of the season, you can just as easily disassemble a shower and hide it indoors away from frost and prying eyes.
- Possibility of mounting a large tank. Profile tubes due to the presence of stiffeners are able to withstand a sufficiently large weight.
- Expandability. Such designs may have an additional compartment for arranging the changing rooms or for installing another tank for a country shower stall, which increases the functionality of the shower.
- Durability. Subject to the rules of operation of this object will serve you for a long time and efficiently.
Option number 3: shower screen
Of course, it’s quite difficult to call it a full-fledged shower, but a screen installed near the house or in the corner of the site in combination with the Step system will be able to provide you with everything you need to take water procedures.
"Toptun" in its structure is similar to a foot pump, only has inlet and outlet hoses. The first must be immersed in a container with water, which does not even need to be suspended, and the second is equipped with a watering can and is taken in hand. It turns out that in this case the only thing missing is the ability to hide from prying eyes, which is what the screen helps.
The most important advantage of such an implementation of a street shower is its low price and minimum amount of work. You only need to put a partition and place on the ground "Step." Also, just then everything collapses and hides.
Conclusion
Folding shower systems are very convenient to use. Some of them can be used not only in the country, but also in the campaign, where there are no signs of civilization. So it is not at all necessary to spend forces and resources on the construction of capital construction in order to ensure the possibility of accepting water procedures.
