The Best Outdoor Showers in 2021

This wall-mounted outdoor shower is basic and affordable, priced at under $50 at the time of this writing. All you need is a water hookup to install it on the side of your beach house or pool cabana for quickly rinsing off before or after a swim. Several customers say that installation is easy and a good value. The double-handle shower has a corrosion-resistant chrome-plated finish, a head with adjustable spray, and a 1.8 GPM flow rate. There’s also an attached soap dish.

If you have more to spend on a wall-mounted outdoor shower, this one delivers on features, with eight jets and a 2.5 GPM flow rate. Finished in gleaming polished chrome, the single-handle model is built to balance water pressure and there’s an adjustable temperature limit for showers that are nice and hot, but not scalding. There are also three spray options for water massage, and the shower comes with a limited five-year warranty. 

This smart-looking, value-packed outdoor shower has a large rainfall shower head and a sleek handheld attachment. The shower’s arm extends more than a foot from the wall and the height is adjustable, so you can get directly under the water stream, and there’s a single handle to switch from hot to cold, with a knob above to switch from rainfall and handheld. The shower is made from stainless steel and comes in a brushed-nickel or matte black finish.

For an energy-saving option, this solar-powered freestanding shower is said to heat water inside the nine-plus-gallon tank to temperatures up to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. The black tower is more than 7 feet high, constructed of PVC with chrome-plated hardware, and has an adjustable shower head plus a tap near the base to use as a foot wash. Water pressure and temperature are controlled with a single handle, and there are pre-drilled holes in the base for mounting it on concrete.

This freestanding modern outdoor shower is artfully designed—it resembles a flute standing on end—with details that give it a sleek, upscale look. It has a waterfall-style head and three large buttons in the center for controlling temperature and water flow, plus there’s a spout at the base to rinse off feet. It stands 7 feet high, made from stainless steel with a polished chrome finish. Several customers say that it’s relatively easy to install and looks great. 

Made from thick-walled sustainable bamboo, this outdoor shower has tropical vibes and gets rave reviews from customers, who laud it for quality craftsmanship. It has a removable shower head and bamboo handle, plus it’s built to be freestanding or wall-mounted, with pipes pre-assembled inside the pole and fittings to attach it to a garden hose. 

Bamboo is naturally bug-resistant, though it can take on a weathered look over time unless you treat it with natural oils or apply varnish for protection.

If you’re in the market for a splurge, this stainless steel freestanding outdoor shower is an excellent choice. It has an elegant, modern design, made from stainless steel and finished in a choice of brushed chrome or matte black finish, plus there’s a handheld attachment included. It also has a powerful water flow with silicone nozzles inside the shower head to help prevent buildup of deposits from hard water.

This relatively inexpensive freestanding outdoor shower is your best bet if you don’t want a permanent shower in your outdoor space or want to deal with installation. Simply attach the lightweight pole to a garden hose and move it around your patio for quick rinse anywhere before or after a swim. Made from durable, weatherproof PVC, it features a detachable shower head and base that can be filled with sand to add stability.
