- Build your own outdoor shower out of PVC for under $30 to attach to any water hose at home or while camping.
Supplies for this project:
At least 8 feet of 3/4" PVC pipe
A shower head
3/4" ball valve
1/2" sillcock
PVC cement
PVC connector pieces:
(1) 3/4" 90 degree elbow
(1) 3/4" 45 degree elbow
(1) 3/4" tee
(1) 3/4" x 1/2" reducer tee
(1) 3/4" Schedule 40 male adaptor
(1) 1/2" x close riser
(1) 3/4" x 1/2" female adaptor
(1) 3/4" socket cap
(1) 3/4" Swivel for hose
Finally made this! Mainly to use by the pool, but made it portable to use camping. I had a few issues with the list of supplies not being quite specific enough (slip on, threaded, etc.), but pieced together something close. Perhaps it was because plumbing stuff was new to me. 😀 Can't wait to try it out.
I’m a plumber. Googled “camp shower ideas” thanks for a nudge in the right direction.
you will probably have some good suggestions for me once you've done it yourself, so please feel free to post them here!
Yes, there have been things like this for about $60 on Amazon for years (I bought one as a beach outdoor shower 7-8 years ago), but your umbrella stand idea moves the concept forward! I'm going to make my own using your diy for camping. Thanks!
omg thank you for including the purchase list. I'd figured out and bought everything a year ago, but if course placed the shopping bag somewhere VERY safe. I'm so happy i don't have to puzzle it all out again now that I've finally built my enclosure haha
Wow amazing. I’m a dog trainer and many people ask me if I have any tips for bathing their huge dogs with warm water ... here is the solution ! Thank you so much !!!!!!
Nice job! Don’t forget the primer when gluing PVC.
😂 our highschool church choir group went to a church in thermal CA for a week we taught VBS it gets very warm because it's by Arizona anyway we used cardboard a window curtain borrowed it from the restroom a garden hose had a ring 💍 outlet then I guess there's was a car parked nearby we asked to tape the hose there I don't exactly know the details but it worked of course only when church was over like ended at 1230 so by 1 it was just our group it was a choir tour thing. Being in a desert community had to get creative. Remind me of the one we came up with. I guess it wasn't crazy after all.
Absolutely genius. Thank you for the detailed list of parts needed in the beginning. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Just perfect! Simple and not over priced or over done. Thanks !!!
This is amazing! I've been dreaming of an outdoor shower for awhile and might try to make one myself. Thank you for inspiring me!
Hope it helps!
@@ChickFixUSAThanks for the outdoor shower shopping list. Sent my husband to buy the stuff. I'm gonna build it. I can figure how to put together all the stuff except the last 5 items mainly cuz I don't know which is which by name.
Brilliant Awesome idea!!!!! Thank you for your time and for sharing, now off to the hardware store i go!!!!👍🏼😉🙋🏻♂️
love it! ...is it attached directly to the outdoor tp or an actual garden hose ...i cant envision the connection, is there another video that shows this?
Man, this should have more than 11 000 views, great job!
thanks!
They put washer and dryers outside in garages or closets in Florida. They probably do it in many places where the temperatures are mild to warm. I am going to plumb this off of my washer hot and cold tap. Wish me luck.
The washer is located outside. I was going to use pex but pvc is so cheap and easy to use. Should be fun.
You could definitely make it more permanent and "fancy" looking if you wanted to. I just did this one to be portable for camping. Good luck!
Как же это круто вы такой молодец! Greetings from Russia
Hahahahaha Lorena Bobbitt...😖 Sooo cool! You’re a friggin genius. Thank you!!
OMG! THANK YOU!!!!! not sure what it says about me but ....i wish i thought of this before. love it
It's such a good idea, especially strapping the shower to a tree,
which is just what I want for our summer house
to rinse off after working in the "garden"
(that is, after waging war on the ferns among the fir trees)
But I can't seem to find this kind of shower head in Sweden.
All I find is indoor normal shower heads, hand held or fix.
So jealous...
Great video! New sub! Clear, concise, and funny. Love it! We are making a solar shower for our overlanding rig. You inspired me to do a couple things better. Thanks!
Thanks for the sub! Glad it helped. I would love to see how you make it solar and warm!
How does the bottom attached to the water, just the usual goes pipe fixings ?
Thankyou Awesome idea 😊
I built this this morning, took me longer to find the bits at Lowe’s than to assemble.. thanks for the list but schematic would help too...and I used a sand umbrella post instead of a base
Noted! Thank you for watching!
I had the HD get parts for me and curbside pickup. having a heck of time trying to put together. I can't get silcock or hose swivel on. Can you help? I do wish video showed more detail.
pielcanela365 I used two 3/4 inch smooth x 1/2 threaded adapters, the sillcock has a 1/2 thread, so just put Teflon tape on that and screwed it into the 1/2 threaded side. For the hose, you also need a 1/2 inch thread to (typically) 3/4 inch hose swivel...it’s usually brass. The 1/2 thread goes into the pvc 1/2 threaded side and then you attach hose. I don’t know how to upload pix here, otherwise I would
@@ajwilson231 I would love you could send me pictures. pielcanela365@hotmail.com
Thank you
Brilliant!
Great Job!
Thanks for sharing
This is just lovely. Thank you!!
This is GENIUS !!! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you..exactly what I was looking for...
Love this, exactly what I was looking for. Do you have more detailed instructions on how to assemble?
Unfortunately no. Thanks for watching!
Wow wow you are too intelligent I will try it
നല്ല ഐഡിയ ഇത്ഞാൻ കേരളത്തിൽ നടപ്പാക്കും.....
I will try
Hello. This there a better picture i can get of which connectors go where? I really want to give this q try but have no piping experience.
I’m gonna take the dip and give this a try
Thanks
Awesome video. Thank you,
Excelente.
Parabéns e muito obrigado !
Paz 🙏👊
This is so awesome!
Well done! 👍
Genius!!!
Genius!
This is an embarrassing question, but where is the water coming from? I have only done tent camping. I have rigged up solar shower bags and shower curtains to trees, but have never had a hose around.
You will need a hose hookup to use this, which we always have when camping in our RV. Also means only cold water.
This would not work for primitive camping. I have now specified in the title and description that this is for home or RV camping. Thank you for bringing this to my attention!
On the contrary - it's the most logical question!
Awesome
Very nice!!!
You go, grrrrl!!!
Genius!! :)
Sillcock lol!
OMG can you read instructions? You use primer with pvc cement and you hold the joints for at least 10 secs after gluing.
No, sadly I was never taught to read.
For those that want hot water, you need a heater like this: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077K428LC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and a thermostatic mixing valve like this: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CF7JRLQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 then hook it all to the inlet of the shower stand she made. I did a "version" of this using my own heater design here: czcams.com/video/hv4QdnFuej0/video.html
Amazing! Just one question. How did you connected hose in to the pipe?
There is a PVC attachment that has a hose connection on it (spigot adaptor), which can be added to the end of a PVC pipe.
where does the water come from may i ask?
From the hose. In this case, you would need to be near a water supply with a hose hook-up (the campsites we visit always have that). It might also be possible to fashion some sort of pump to attach it to, but I haven't made it that far yet.
How much did the project cost? Please let me know! Im excited!
In total, maybe around $30-35 or so. The shower head and handle were probably half the cost.
@@ChickFixUSA thank you for the fast response. Liked!
👌
Where is water coming from?
Finally someone is asking the most important question!
Can you send me how to bully step by step
How you get so much water pressure?
Any suggestion on how to mount something like this to the bumper of a travel trailer to eliminate the need of some sort of base?
Could you maybe stick it between the bumper and the back of the travel trailer, and then bungee it to the bumper?
👍🏻👍🏻
Lorena Bobbitt. Ouch.
The hose adapter and the sillcock thread thing are throwing me for a loop. Is it the male adapter, close riser, or bushing? Thank you.
It's the male adaptor that I attached the sillcock to. The close riser and the bushing were for the shower head attachment. Apologies for the confusion.
Can you clarify what the 1/2 x close riser is? what is the length and what does it do?
You, good sir, have discovered a minor typo in this video! This is a "close riser" and I used it to attach the shower head to the PVC. What I failed to add, after the X, is the length I used. WHOOPS! I used the shortest one possible, as shown in this link: www.homedepot.com/p/Orbit-1-2-in-x-Close-PVC-Riser-38081/100038935
@@ChickFixUSA Thank you! I'm getting my materials now :)
bird shower 🚿
I'm pretty sure Coleman sell a tripod mounted outdoor shower stand for about $20...
is the 3/4in x 1/2in reducer tee slip on three sides or threaded on the 1/2in side?
Looks like it's threaded on the 1/2" side to install the 1/2" sillcock for the foot wash.
@@GlennRice666 Thanks! In the process of ordering parts, need this for pool side this season
@@GlennRice666 yes, you are correct!
@@pielcanela365 yes, Glenn is correct!
@ChickFixUSA is there a connector piece between the T and the hose swivel?
Is There A Way To Control The Temperature?
Nope, it just hooks to the hose, although if you have hot and cold water sources, I'm sure it can be adapted to take both
Nfinite Mile dude it’s hooked up to a camping water line just like on the outside of a house it’s not hot just ground temperature
Is that Benny Hill???
Where?
These are very cheep to buy already made
Please please, stop wasting precious water, we all know how faucets work!
