Outdoor shower

I bought an outdoor,cold water-shower at the end of summer, in the hopes that we could prevent our kids & their friends walking, dripping, from our pool to the bathroom to take a shower. The shower-users will be wearing bathing suits, but I'm wondering if I should put a trellis or potted tree on 2 sides of the shower, for a bit of privacy, or not necessary?
pool on right, neighbor's yard behind us. plenty of trees/shrubs on that side.
another angle: pool on right, house on left.

I would only bother about a privacy screen if you neighbours were to complain. If they are in their bathers in the pool and just rinsing off I don't see a problem.

I agree. We also have an outdoor shower with no specific privacy, although it is on the side of the house, not right in the middle of the patio.

I like the idea of a screen. You could use it to place hooks to hang up your towels or hang soap on a rope. I like to get pool water off me because it makes me itch.

We had an outdoor shower on the deck at another house to rinse off garden dirt before coming into the house, only we forgot to drain the line before the first hard cold snap hit. The water ran for a couple of hours before we got home and discovered it, and shut the valve off from inside the house. Good thing it was outside !!

I see the post is a little old. What did you decide on? I made a shower for exactly the same reasons you had and I was going to post pics of it to show you what I created all by myself but if you completed it, do you have and update? Love to see!
