Renovating a bathroom can be a difficult and time-consuming task, especially with the current scarcity in the renovation market. What if you still want to shower during the renovation? In that case, a mobile shower cabin can offer a solution. In this article, we’ll show you how to make your own mobile shower cabin that you can use at home during the renovation.
Step 1: Find a Location
The most important thing when creating your own mobile shower cabin is choosing the right location. The location must have drainage capabilities and a hot water supply. You also need to consider the surface, as it cannot be moisture-sensitive.
Step 2: Gather Materials
To start, you’ll need materials to make the mobile shower cabin. You’ll definitely need a waterproof covering for the sides, such as a shower curtain, tarp, or plastic sheets. You’ll also need a showerhead, showerhead holder, and a hose for the tap. Depending on your drainage option, you may also need a shower tray with a pump and drainage hose. If you have a drain at the location, this won’t be necessary.
Step 3: Build the Frame
To make the shower cabin sturdy, you need a frame. This can be built with PVC pipes or wooden slats. The frame should be large enough to hang the shower curtain or tarp. Build the frame on the drain or shower tray.
Step 4: Mount the Showerhead
Now that the frame is built, it’s time to mount the showerhead, which is best done on the frame. Attach the hose to the showerhead and the tap so that water can be connected.
Step 5: Add the Drainage
If you have a drain, this step isn’t necessary. If not, you need to connect the pump to the shower tray and connect it to a drain with a hose.
Step 6: Hang the Shower Curtain or Tarp
Now that the frame is built, the showerhead is mounted, and the drainage is added, it’s time to hang the shower curtain or tarp. This provides the necessary privacy while showering and prevents water from spreading to other parts of the room.
Conclusion:
A mobile shower cabin can be a great solution for people who want to continue showering during a bathroom renovation. Creating a mobile shower is not very difficult and can be done with a few simple materials. With the steps we have described above, you can make your own mobile shower that you can safely use during your bathroom renovation.
