Specific Concerns for an Outdoor Shower in Tallahassee
Pine needles and Oak leaves
If you have a yard with pine trees or live oaks you’re going to need to either cover the shower to prevent leave litter from building up or design the enclosure in a way that allows for you to easily clean out the shower area with a leaf blower or rake.
Freeze Protection
Though its rare, it does freeze in Tallahassee and exposed pipes are particularly susceptible. Its a good idea to either insulate the pipes, install a valve so the water can be turned off during the colder winter months or both.
Mold and Mildew
Good drainage and air flow is essential to preventing mildew growth in your outdoor shower, especially in the humid months. Placing your shower in area that gets a lot of direct sun is also a good idea.
