If you’re looking for a way to create a luxurious escape at home, consider adding an outdoor bath to your space. While outdoor showers have been around for a while, the idea of an outdoor bath is becoming increasingly popular, offering a chance to indulge in a relaxing soak while enjoying the great outdoors.
Considerations for your outdoor bath
Before you get started, there are a few things to consider. First and foremost, plumbing and drainage are essential. You’ll need to connect the bath to a water source and ensure proper drainage. You’ll also need access to hot water, so consider installing a tankless water heater to ensure you never run out.
Another key consideration is the surrounding plant life and wildlife. While being surrounded by nature and relaxing is the ultimate goal, you want to avoid being constantly on the lookout for creepy crawlies. Not to mention always having branches or foliage fall on you. You’ll also want to ensure your bath is in an area that provides adequate privacy and is not too exposed to the elements.
When it comes to the design of your outdoor bath, flooring is also an essential factor to consider. You’ll want to ensure the ground around the bath is firm and stable to prevent slips or falls. Additionally, consider installing suitable flooring. You will need to create a solid surface and avoid muddy or grass-covered feet when it’s finally time to get out and make your way back inside.

- Copper
- Stone
- Wood
Outdoor baths can be great additions to many outdoor landscapes, such as:
