In this article we will look at the main categories of shower sets, suitable for arranging the dacha garden plot. However, in addition to the description of the models presented on sale, we will consider how these structures can be made independently and thus save money.

Main varieties

Shower panels, racks, garden shower cabins for giving and other not less necessary constructions on the market are presented in the following categories:

• Shower racks - simple to install and use structures that can be mounted on certain vertical surfaces (on the wall of a country house, on a fence, on a tree, etc.).

The only condition for the normal operation of this device is the presence of hot and cold water supply. Despite the fact that the price of such racks is low, the supply of hot water in the conditions of the garden plot is not always possible, and therefore this structure will not suit every buyer.

• Shower Panels - These are lightweight modules that, like racks, are mounted on vertical surfaces.

Important: Both in the first and in the second case, the surfaces on which the installation is performed should be protected from exposure to excessive moisture. The easiest way to hang a wall fence or other surface of plastic wrap. More effective protection can be made from polycarbonate sheet or other waterproof materials.

• Garden country shower, made in the form of a cabin, This is a more capital structure, which is protected from all four sides by hermetic walls.

To reduce the cost of construction instead of side railings decorative screens can be used.

• Shower toptun Another type of washing facilities that can be purchased or ordered from specialized companies.

The principle of operation of this facility is that a person weighs his body on the tank from which water rises through a hose into a watering can. The device is easy to use, but so far not received proper distribution.

So, we got acquainted with the varieties presented on sale. It remains to consider what is the assembly instruction for a self-made washing booth from scrap materials.

Materials for the manufacture of country shower

The article proposed simple drawings of a garden shower to give with your own hands it would be easy to assemble such facilities. If you wish, you can use your sketches, the main thing is that the finished structure is simple in terms of installation and subsequent operation, and that this structure at the end of the season can be disassembled and folded for temporary storage.

The shower cabin, which can be made by hand, consists of three main components: the frame, the casing and the storage tank.

Let's consider in more detail from what materials it is possible to manufacture the listed components.

• As a production material for the assembly of the frame, it is advisable to use a metal profile. If you plan to cook the frame from the usual ferrous metal, it is better to choose a galvanized profile that is more resistant to corrosion. If funds allow, the frame can be assembled from aluminum. Despite the fact that the price of the aluminum profile is higher than the cost of steel analogs of the frame, the fabricated material of this material oxidizes less and practically does not rust. As an alternative to metal structures, wooden slats and timber can be used. The only condition for the use of lumber is their pre-treatment with antiseptic compounds.
• Opaque sheets of cellular polycarbonate or ordinary dense polyethylene film can be used as cladding. In that case, if the frame is welded from a steel corner, a galvanized corrugated board can be used as a covering.
• The storage tank is a tank that will be fixed in the upper part of the structure. In the warm season, the sun will heat the contents of the tank to a comfortable temperature. As a tank, you can use a purchased plastic tank, which will be easy to make a sidebar. If the farm has a metal tank of 80-100 liters, you can use it.

Important: On top of the wooden frame, it is advisable to install plastic shower tanks with a volume of no more than 50 liters. Tanks with a large internal volume, made of metal, can be installed only on all-metal frames.

Assembly work

• From the metal profile are cut 4 side racks 2.25 meters long.
• Next, cut 12 lengths of 1.5 meters.
• From short segments in the form of a square the top lower and intermediate binding gathers.
• Side posts are welded to the straps so that the finished structure has the shape of a parallelepiped.
• Over the entire height of the side posts at a distance of 20 cm from each other, 1 mm diameter holes are drilled.
• A pre-cut polycarbonate is applied to the sides of the frame and screwed to the frame with self-tapping screws with a diameter of 2 mm.

Important: When making a polycarbonate casing, between the cap of the screw and the sheet we leave a compensation gap of 1 mm. If this is not done, during thermal expansions the skin may crack.

• In the upper part of the structure, we fix a tank in which we make three tie-ins: from the bottom - for supplying water to the cabin, from above - for supplying water to the shower tank, from above - for admission to the air tank.
• The water fittings and the watering can join the lower inset.
• At the final stage, a boardwalk can be assembled on the cab floor.
