Introduction: Luxurious Outdoor Shower - Part 4 [Door & Plumbing]
This is the 4th and the last part of the Luxurious Outdoor Shower and in this instructable you'll see: How I made the "Door" and How I installed the "Plumbing".
Step 1:
With a try square align the timbers in the corners. Also you can take a tape measure and check the length from the left side to be equal to the right side.
Step 2:
Then I placed the next timber, hit it with a rubber mallet and nailed its edges.
Step 3:
Repeated the same thing until the end.
Step 4:
I placed a piece of wood, aligned it, marked it on each end and then cut it from both sides.
Step 5:
With the same procedure, I placed 2 more pieces at the other corner too.
Step 6:
Then I put a screw every 10cm on the pcs placed up and down and every 20cm on the pcs placed corner to corner.
Step 7:
Because, I didn’t have a long enough post, I put a short one at the bottom and another one at the upper part for the door to stop.
Step 8:
I placed the door using three hinges.
Step 9:
Placed one latch on the outside and one on the inside.
Step 10:
Then I painted the whole construction with teak oil.
Step 11:
Now for the plumping, after I took the measurements, I cut all the pcs and put them together to see if everything fits right.
Step 12:
Then I started to connect the pcs one by one.
Step 13:
I put the water ball valve to the vise, then I took the brass part which connect the water ball valve with the copper tube and put the thread seal tape around it.
Step 14:
I placed the copper tube cutter on the copper tube and I started to turn it around the copper tube until it was cut.
Step 15:
Smooth the edges from inside and outside.
Step 16:
Brushed the point I sanded with the solder paste for a Fast, Clean and Sure solder joint.
Step 17:
Heat around the copper tube and then placed the solder without letting it touch the blowtorch.
Step 18:
I painted it matt black for a more beautiful appearance.
Step 19:
... and the water ball valves, in order to recognize hot and cold.
Step 20:
I made two holes for the hot and the cold water to pass into the shower.
Step 21:
I placed plastic clips for an easier and faster way.
Step 22:
With a plastic pipe cutter I cut the pipes in the right dimensions.
Step 23:
I also placed a stainless steel flexible shower hose, the wall mount, the handheld and finally the showerhead!
Step 24:
Oh yeah it’s ready for a try!
