Beachy keen

Add a touch of practical luxury to your outside space in the form of an outdoor shower.
Writer John McDonald. Photography Chris Warnes, Maree Homer & Tony Amos.

The owners of this house on Sydney's Northern Beaches installed their outdoor shower in the backyard in a little nook by the stairs. The water (plumbed hot and cold) drains into a deep pit, which then runs into the lawn down a slope. The base is made of blackbutt decking.
