Time to check out the latest in outdoor showers. Once pool-side luxuries, outdoor showers have secured a spot in even the tiniest of backyards. Manufacturers have taken note of our interest and, as always, have responded by creating more options for those interested in creating a modern oasis in their backyard.

Designerzeit's Wave and Ocean designs comprise sculptural forms made to stand out with acid-proof high-grade steel and Hansgrohe shower and massage sprayheads. Each design is built with an external control panel, a single spot from which to control temperature and individual spray heads. They thought about cold winter climates as well. At the end of the bathing season the top panel can be easily removed, along with the thermostatic control, and replaced with a cover.

Stilla by Ceadesign uses a sculptural, cactus-like form to maximize use of space for two bathers. Each arm can be set in different angles to create a custom look. The notch toward the top of each arm hides an integrated shower head.

MyYour Dyno is a plastic shower created in a rainbow of self-colored polyethylene and strengthened inside and out with UV-ray and weather resistance and chromed brass taps. Dyno is also available in a solar powered model.

Boffi's Pipe Shower is made for indoor or outdoor installation and is about as minimal as it gets, with the design mirroring the function. The only flourish here is the water control handle, a bright, warm touch on the overall design. Available through Dzine.

Available in single or double style (shown here), the Newform Minimal Outdoor Shower can be installed as a focal point or hidden away in a private setting. Either way, the shower is available with a remote floor control.

The Viteo Outdoor Shower Pad reverses the flow with an upward spray activated when you stand on the pad. A great way to cool off that will hark back to those childhood days of running through sprinklers.
