about to have 20-30 pre-teen coming for a pool party. My wife requested I get a outdoor shower going to relieve after pool showering congestion.

Ordered a stainless shower panel from ebay and got some copper pipes and sharkbite connection fittings. 1 day of work.
Price of the parts
shower panel $200
pipes and sharkbite fittings $250
Stone $30

Sharkbites are awesome, snap fit, no soldering and they swivel and NO LEAKS!!! also they can be undone with a release tool. cost 3x as much as normal copper fitting but it is way prettier.

Looks great. Where does it drain? Did you have a convenient access to your water supply for hot an cold? What are you going to do to insulate the pipes, or did you put a shut off in for winter temps?

Thanks.

It drain on the floor drain. happen to have one in close proximity.
Its about a 12 ft run of copper on each hot and cold. Kitchen is in the other side of that wall. dont plan on insulating it. want to keep it pretty. I even clear coat the copper to keep its color. plus It doesnt get that cold in so cal that I need to worry about pipe freeze.
