10 Reasons to Love Outdoor Showers an article by Houzz.com
I wanted to share this great article from Houzz.
Outdoor showers are wonderful features for summer homes as well as primary residences.
I do think it is refreshing to come right off of the beach, shower outside, and quickly be ready to relax and cool off.

10 Reasons to Love Outdoor Showers
Showers Keep summertime dirt and sand outside with a shower area that turns an everyday routine into an exhilarating experience
1. An outdoor shower makes an
ideal pool house cleanup and
changing area. If you have a pool
(or hot tub), adding an outdoor
shower can make the experience of
getting in and out a bit easier. No
more dripping water through the
house when you can rinse, dry and
change in the comfort of a private
outdoor shower.
2. An outdoor shower is handy for getting kids clean … without mucking up the house. If you have young children, you’re probably well practiced in the art of wrangling a dirty/muddy/wet child (along with all of those wet and muddy clothes) through the house to the bathroom at cleanup time. With an outdoor shower, wee ones can get squeaky clean without the mess ever seeing the inside of your house. Bonus: Fussy kids who resist getting hosed off from a cold water only spigot usually love a nice warm outdoor shower.

3. An outdoor shower can be a
lifesaver with a houseful of
summer guests. When you’re
hosting a crowd of overnight
guests, bathroom space can quickly
feel limited. Ease the pressure on
indoor bathrooms by taking your
own showers outdoors (and offer
guests the option). Just be sure your
outdoor shower has privacy walls
and a door that latches.
4. An outdoor shower makes a convenient one stop dog cleaning spot. Tired of muddy paw prints in the house? Corral your furry friend in a fenced outdoor shower equipped with a handheld nozzle, and washing up after a day at the doggy park is a breeze.
5. An outdoor shower can rinse off post gardening dirt. Avid gardeners know that planting and maintaining a garden is a messy business. Rinse just your feet and garden clogs with a foot level nozzle, or dunk your whole head under!
6. An outdoor shower is a refreshing way to cool down on a hot day. In areas with hot summers, there are days when cooling down is the only thing on anyone’s mind. Position your outdoor shower in a shady, private spot and indulge in the cool water when the heat is unbearable.

7. An outdoor shower can give you a resortlike experience at home. Bring home the feel of a tropical vacation with your own outdoor shower, complete with oversize rain shower head. Ramp up the resort vibe by treating yourself to a few fancy bath products to keep in the shower, along with a stack of fluffy white towels nearby.
8. An outdoor shower is a musthave if you live near the beach. If you do reside seaside, an outdoor shower is of course the handsdown best way to keep sand outdoors where it belongs. Installing a foot shower is a worthy addition — even folks who don’t want to bother with a full shower can at least rinse off sandy toes before stepping into the house.
9. An outdoor shower is an easy spot to rinse off after a run. Get quick relief for hot, tired muscles after running with a quick jump in the outdoor shower. It’s easier than going inside, and the breeze will cool you down even quicker. Just remember to set out towels and a change of clothes ahead of time.
10. An outdoor shower makes an everyday routine extra special. As long as it’s private enough, there’s no reason an outdoor shower can’t be used for your daily cleanse, at least in the warmer months. And if it’s as beautiful as the version shown here (complete with a jungle of potted plants), it will feel more like an adventure than a routine.
