The Outdoor Shower: Creative design ideas for backyard living, from the functional to the fantastic

by Ethan Fierro

Designer/builder Ethan Fierro celebrates summer with this collection of original outdoor shower designs that he’s discovered across North America. He offers dozens of designs to choose from, all pictured in stunning color photographs, ranging from a simple showerhead on the side of your cottage to semi-detached and freestanding structures. Fierro also includes an overview of basic plumbing and structural requirements, along with suggestions for using a wide range of building materials, such as stone, wood, metal, frosted glass blocks, earth, concrete, tile, stucco, and landscape vegetation. His plans are environmentally sound and incorporate cost-saving techniques, with ideas for repurposing found and recycled materials.

I like reading building/design books that pertain to green building or unique ways of creating a habitat. This jumped out at me at the library for that reason. Gorgeous pictures, interesting info, certainly not much use to me right now but definitely filed away in that corner of my brain that is holding information on solar panels, cob houses, and composting toilets. Yes, I *will* eventually be the creepy hippie on the outskirts of town you warn your children about :)

Ok book, I was hoping for more detailed plans and this was more just ideas and pointers.
