Outdoor Showers

An outdoor shower is a Cape Cod favorite, and this collection shows a range of versions built by Cape Associates. Materials include cedar boards, mahogany-toned slats and natural fieldstone, each chosen to hold up to sun and salt air.

Some enclosures stand alone, with tall cedar doors and black hardware. Others attach to the house, tucked beside a back door on a small wood platform, or built into a stone wall beneath a deck.

• Horizontal slat screens for privacy and airflow
• Granite fieldstone walls with a shower head
• A built-in bench in a stone-backed stall
• Gravel and wood floors for drainage

One open-air version has louvered walls beside a freestanding tub and a cushioned daybed. Another uses shingles that match the house wall. Each design screens the user from view while staying open to air and light. Towel hooks and benches are within reach.
