We choose a shower tray for a summer residence

Incredibly fashionable in recent decades, shower cabins have driven users not only to install them not only in comfortable apartments of urban type, but also in cottages. It is worth paying attention: quite expensive shower cabins can be replaced with a ready-made pallet and a self-made booth mounted over it.

Shower tray for cottages

This version of the device for hygiene is in no way inferior to advanced glass booths with highlights and other high-tech elements, on the contrary, it makes it possible to experiment, allowing the use of cheaper building materials for the collection of a summer shower. Shower trays for dachas can be purchased separately, despite the fact that they are included in the complete set of modern shower cabins. They are made of different materials (steel with enamel, cast iron, plastic, ceramics, marble) of various coloring, they are of various shapes - round, square, triangular, with rounded corners of different radius of curvature. Their depth varies from 5 to 20 sentiment. A shower tray for a dacha can have both a smooth bottom and a ribbed - with a relief embossing. The purpose of such a drawing is not only in aesthetics, but also in preventing slipping of the feet on the wet surface of the pallet during showering. The shower tray for the dacha can also be covered with a special anti-slip material for this.

Acrylic tray

In summer conditions, as in the early morning, and after a hot day, especially want to pour itself a flow of cool water. Therefore, a full indoor shower is not only expensive, but also an unnecessary pleasure in a summer cottage. In such conditions, it is perhaps necessary to take care of keeping warm and there is no slipping underfoot. In this respect, enameled steel, ceramic or marble pallets are less comfortable. But there is a way out. Especially popular are pallets made of acrylic - a kind of polymer material. Acrylic shower trays have such an important advantage as light weight, which facilitates and simplifies their installation, provides convenience in transportation. But the main advantage of the acrylic tray is its warm surface, which adds comfort during the shower. Some acrylic shower trays require the installation of screens or tiling. This is not needed if the acrylic tray has a cast screen on all sides. Some varieties of square acrylic pallets are manufactured with a cast seat. However, do not forget that in winter conditions the acrylic pallet can not withstand a low temperature or its differences.

We construct the pallet with our own hands

A shower tray for a dacha can be made with your own hands from a wide variety of materials - brick, concrete, paving slabs or ordinary planks. It should be provided with a drain for water, but, perhaps, only if the land near it does not absorb the volume that you used. Then a simple draining is constructed, which is a half-meter deep under a self-made pallet filled with rubble. To complicate the design of the sink can be by strengthening the walls of this recess in the ground or the construction of a full sewage system. The drainage of water from under the pallet can be carried out with a pipe 10 cm in diameter to the drainage pit, which has a depth of up to 1.5 meters. The latter must be filled with filter filler. Above all this design, a self-made cabin is installed, equipped with various shelves and hooks for shower accessories.
