If you live near the beach, an outdoor shower isn't a luxury — it's how you keep sand out of your house. But beyond function, a well-designed outdoor shower can be one of the most enjoyable features of your property. Here are the most popular designs we build across the Wilmington coast.
The Open Rinse Station
The simplest option: a showerhead mounted to an exterior wall or freestanding post. Ideal for poolside rinses or quick post-beach foot washes. Cold water only keeps costs minimal and installation straightforward.
The Semi-Enclosed Shower
Two or three privacy walls with an open entry and overhead view of the sky. This is the most popular style on the coast — offering privacy while maintaining the open-air experience. Built with composite or PVC for zero maintenance.
The Fully Enclosed Shower
A complete enclosure with a door, walls, and optional roof. Ideal for properties where full privacy is needed or where the shower doubles as a changing area. Can include hooks, shelving, and integrated drainage.
Hot & Cold: Worth the Extra Plumbing
Cold-only showers are simpler, but adding a hot water line transforms an outdoor shower from a quick rinse into something you actually look forward to — especially on cooler spring and fall days.
