Shower for the cottage with heating: affordable methods of

In most specialty stores plumbing equipment you can buy a budget plastic shower to give heated or its more expensive metal counterpart. What are these devices, how do they work and what to choose for use in the arrangement of a country house?

In addition, we will consider the available methods of making a country dacha do-it-yourself using simple and inexpensive materials.

The range presented in the store

An industrially manufactured summer shower with a heating for the dacha on sale is represented by plastic and metal cabins with a storage tank equipped with a heater or a flow heater.

Among the wide range we note the following:

• A shower rack is the best option for arranging the summer cottage, as well as for use near a modern cottage.. Externally, the ready-to-use device looks like a design with a height slightly higher than a person’s height. However, the height of the installation of the upper part can be changed to fit your parameters during the installation work. The design can be attached to the wall of the house, and can be equipped with a separate metal rack. The heating element is located on top.

• Shower panel is a hinged module mounted on any supports.. This design is devoid of roof, and therefore, the spout and diffuser are located at the height of the human head. As a rule, these installations are equipped with flow-through water heaters. The wall, fence or other surface on which the structure is fixed must be protected from water penetration by ceramic tiles or dense cellophane film.
• Shower cabin provides the most popular modification.. The design is closed on all sides with quick-detachable panels and equipped with a door. Due to the presence of strong side supports, a cumulative shower tank with an integrated heater can be located in the upper part of the cabin. Making an order in specialized companies, you can purchase a wooden winter house with a shower, built using frame technology. Such a shower cabin is characterized by a long operational resource and at the same time it is not necessary to disassemble it for storage in the cold season.

It is not difficult to order the listed structures, but there is one major drawback - the price is higher than the cost of a high-quality shower cabin for a city bathroom.

Reasons for the self-construction of the summer wash cabin

As already mentioned, factory designs, despite the ease of acquisition and ease of installation, have a significant drawback, namely, they are expensive.

But, as it turns out, the high price is not the only reason to build a country house with your own hands with heating yourself.

• Many factory cabins suggest equipping with a flow heater. Meanwhile, most suburban areas do not have access to the central water supply system. As a result, there is no need to talk about water supply under the required pressure.

• Electrical wiring in most suburban buildings is old and not designed for heavy loads. Therefore, to use the factory shower for giving with electric heating may not be possible.
• As already mentioned, the factory shower is distinguished by a considerable price. Given the inconsistent nature of living in a country house, it is highly likely that the cabin installed on the site can be stolen.

So, it is better to build a summer garden dacha shower with your own using simple and affordable materials. It remains to figure out how to do it.

We build from metal

Instructions for the construction of a metal cabin sheathed with a professional sheet is simple.

First you need to prepare materials:

• As the main material for the assembly of the frame, you can use pipes from the old greenhouse. If there are none, pipes with a square section of 3 * 3 cm can be bought at any metal base. The size of the structure and, as a result, pipes should be selected based on their height.

Important: To ensure a greater resource of finished construction, it is better to use galvanized pipes.

• For sheathing, you can use a corrugated metal roofing material, which is also sold at the metal warehouse. If you need a simpler design, you can use translucent sheets of polycarbonate as a skin. Both the one and the other cladding material is mounted on screws, which are screwed into pre-drilled holes in the metal. As a budget solution, you can use plastic film sheathing.
• The frame can be assembled using a welding machine, but it is much easier to use special fixing hardware that are bolted together.
• For the manufacture of the ladder is useful bar with a cross section of 5 * 5 cm. To prevent wetting and rotting of wood, the bar before assembly should be treated with antiseptic impregnations.

Instruction assembly work as follows:

• The stockpiled pipes are cut into 1.5 m long pieces. As a result, there should be 8 segments.
• From these blanks we collect two squares, which will serve as the upper and lower cab strapping.
• Next, we cut the pipe with a length of 2 m in the amount of 4 pieces. These scraps will serve as side racks.
• Putting the design together, so that we get a stable parallelepiped.

Important: If the construction turned out to be shaky, you can add an intermediate middle trim and additional racks.

• We sheathe walls with previously prepared sheet material. We do this with the expectation that there will be a gap of 1 mm between the cap of the screw and the surface of the skin. This is necessary to compensate for thermal expansions.
• A hinged door is arranged on one of the walls, which can be replaced with a curtain of plastic film.
• A cumulative dark color tank with a volume of 80-100 liters is mounted on top of the assembled cab.
• In the lower part of the tank with a mortise nozzle is inset and set the hose with a tap and a watering can.
• In the upper part of the tank is a tie-in for fastening the hose through which water will be supplied. An additional hole is also made in order to control the degree of filling of the tank.

Important: Technically complex tanks can be equipped with a float mechanism like the one located in the toilet bowl. Such a mechanism is connected to the shut-off valves and, as the tank is filled, it closes the water supply.

• Assembling the ladder from the tree is not difficult. On the transverse crossbar heel longitudinal bars, so that the lattice turned out.

Important: If the ground in the area is unstable, it will be correct to build a concrete platform on which the metal frame can be fixed before assembling the cabin.
