Ok, ok, we know at first glance, an outdoor bathroom may seem unnecessary or excessive, but hear us out! We are in a coastal area with sand.
LOTS and lots of sand! We literally live across the street from the beach, we are constantly tracking in sand.
Here’s How We DIY-ed Our Outdoor Bathroom
Step 1-Draw Up Plans
We decided a few years ago that we definitely needed some sort of outdoor bathroom. Last fall, we decided to head to Pinterest to get our juices flowing for ideas, draw up plans (Wes & I doodling designs in our notebooks) and go for it!
Step 2-Plumbing & Concrete Pad
The next step was planning out our plumbing-deciding where the sink, shower and toilet would be placed. Install plumbing.
Step 3-Build Out Walls
After plumbing, it’s time to build the walls! We used 4×4’s for the corner posts, along with 2×4’s, all pressure treated. We used galvalume for the walls. One of our granddogs, Ranger, was here visiting when we began construction of the bathroom.
Step 4-Build Shower Wall & Floor
First we built a frame for the shower wall and shower floor, out of pressure treated 2×4’s. Covered it in 1×6 decking.
We also decided on concrete pavers to have easy access to plumbing.
Step 5-Concrete Pavers
We diy-ed the concrete pavers. Leveled out the ground. The price was a little bit cheaper to make than to purchase concrete pavers.
Step 6-Bahama Rock
We added a a tractor scoop of Bahama Rock to go in between the concrete pavers.
Step 7- Staining Wood
Our youngest two daughters helped us with staining the wood! In the picture, to the right, you can see the floor board of the shower.
I had a helper that liked to chat as we worked together. (I didn’t mind the chatting.)
Step 8-DIY Paint & Stenciled Concrete Pavers
I painted a couple layers of black paint first, allowed it to dry, then added the stencil and used white paint.
After allowing the paint to dry, I added several coats of a matte sealer to the concrete pavers.
Step 9- Installing Fixtures &

Very cool outdoor facilities, yet I would worry about spiders, and bugs taking up residence, as they like the outdoors in corners and underneath things, especially when any water is present.

Thank you! We use a product called 1st Sat Lime and we’ve not had any issues with those types of bugs. I will say that yellow fly season/mosquito season is here!

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
Where is the water supplied from? Where do the drains drain-out? Thanks!
With no roof (unless I missed it) won’t things like the toilet paper get wet and the towels dirty?
so theirs no privacy on the toilet ?
