Tools and materials necessary for the construction of a summer shower
Of course, having decided to start the construction of a shower, you should have all the necessary tools (hammer, drill, shovel). As for the materials? You need to have a brick. There are two types of bricks that can be used by raising a shower – ceramic and silicate. The second does not need to be plastered. How much brick will be needed is calculated by the area that the structure will take (1 meter in a square will need 70-80 bricks).
In the construction process, sand and cement will also be needed. They are used to prepare the solution. Very important: cement does not need to be purchased with a margin, as it quickly draws moisture, losing its properties. Well, for the shower itself you need to purchase a tank. It is best that it is a plastic capacity of 200 liters. It is not necessary to fill the tank completely.
This is calculated by the amount of water used per day. If the volume of the tank is larger, then it will have to be filled less often, but the water in this case will be less warm, because it heats up from the sun. It is better not to use metal containers, as they are subject to corrosion. There should also be a crane with a watering can. A shower roof can be made from a slate, or not to do it at all – this is already at your discretion.
