About the service
I build outdoor showers and pool cabanas as complete backyard structures, not add-on kits — every job starts with a site walk to check slab or paver drainage, the nearest hose-bib or supply line, and how much fall the waste line needs to reach a dry well or the main drain. Plumbing is copper or PEX run from a frost-proof mixing valve, with a floor drain set into a sloped mortar bed under teak or composite decking so standing water never pools against the framing. Cabana framing uses pressure-treated posts set below frost line in poured footings, then cedar or fir stud walls sized for the roof load, whether that is a simple shed roof over the shower stall or a hip roof cabana with a changing room, towel shelving, and a bench long enough to sit and dry off. Privacy screening is designed per yard, not templated — louvered cedar slats angled for airflow and sightline blocking, board-and-batten walls with a Dutch door, or lattice panels stained to match an existing deck. Storage is built in rather than bolted on afterward: cubbies for bottles, a teak duckboard floor that lifts out for cleaning, hooks and a mirror mounted on furring strips so nothing rusts against wet siding. Every stall gets a vapor barrier behind the cladding and stainless fasteners throughout, because outdoor showers rot from the inside first. Recent builds include a three-wall cedar shower with a pebble-tile pan tied into an existing pool filtration trench, and a hip-roof cabana with a changing bench, exterior rinse station, and a locking storage closet for pool toys. Typical turnaround from signed estimate to finished structure is two to three weeks depending on concrete cure time for footings, and I handle any required permit sketch for plumbing connections. Message me with yard photos, the pool or patio layout, and whether you want a simple rinse stall or a full cabana with a change room, and I will send a fixed-price quote broken down by framing, plumbing, and finish carpentry.
