Ok, ok, we know at first glance, an outdoor bathroom may seem unnecessary or excessive, but hear us out! We are in a coastal area with sand.

LOTS and lots of sand! We literally live across the street from the beach, we are constantly tracking in sand.

Here’s How We DIY-ed Our Outdoor Bathroom 

Step 1-Draw Up Plans

We decided a few years ago that we definitely needed some sort of outdoor bathroom. Last fall, we decided to head to Pinterest to get our juices flowing for ideas, draw up plans (Wes & I doodling designs in our notebooks) and go for it!

Step 2-Plumbing & Concrete Pad

The next step was planning out our plumbing-deciding where the sink, shower and toilet would be placed. Install plumbing. 

Step 3-Build Out Walls

---

After plumbing, it’s time to build the walls! We used 4×4’s for the corner posts, along with 2×4’s, all pressure treated. We used galvalume for the walls. One of our granddogs, Ranger, was here visiting when we began construction of the bathroom. 

Step 4-Build Shower Wall & Floor

First we built a frame for the shower wall and shower floor, out of pressure treated 2×4’s. Covered it in 1×6  decking.

We also decided on concrete pavers to have easy access to plumbing. 

Step 5-Concrete Pavers

We diy-ed the concrete pavers. Leveled out the ground. The price was a little bit cheaper to make than to purchase concrete pavers. 

Step 6-Bahama Rock

We added a a tractor scoop of Bahama Rock to go in between the concrete pavers. 

Step 7- Staining Wood

Our youngest two daughters helped us with staining the wood! In the picture, to the right, you can see the floor board of the shower.

I had a helper that liked to chat as we worked together. (I didn’t mind the chatting.)

Step 8-DIY Paint & Stenciled Concrete Pavers

I painted a couple layers of black paint first, allowed it to dry, then added the stencil and used white paint.

After allowing the paint to dry, I added several coats of a matte sealer to the concrete pavers.

Step 9- Installing Fixtures &

We also decided to up grade our showerhead to the Oasense Reva Showerhead. It is the world’s first sensor enabled smart showerhead-automatically reduces the water flow to 15% whenever you aren’t actively rinsing, and resumes 100% full pressure every time you step forward to rinse. The embedded sensor suite has advanced sensor fusion hardware with machine learning algorithms that automatically calibrates the sensors during each shower. 

That concludes our DIY Outdoor Bathroom! Thank you so much for taking the time to read about our diy outdoor bathroom! If you have any questions, please let us know!
