Hampton Outdoor Vinyl Shower Kit

Getting Started

     First off, allow us to say thank you for the investment you have made in one 

     

of our fine shower kits.  This kit is designed to be assembled and installed

     

ideally by two people with basic carpentry knowledge and tools.  Do not 

     

attempt alone, especially during the installation stage.  Should you decide to 

     moderately modify the dimensions of your shower from the standard kit size, 

     

a circular saw with a sharp fine-tooth blade is all that is needed to cut, shorten 

     

or modify the vinyl components.  When  assembling  components place on a

     non-abrasive

 

surface  (ie: shipping box)  to  avoid scratching.  We recom-

    mend a 15’ x 15’area for unobstructed  assembling.   You should  not need to
    use excessive force when assembling any components.

Planning & Preparing

     

The Outdoor Shower is made to stand independent of your home and you

     can either locate it near your house or let it stand alone in any area with a level
     ground surface.  By keeping it unattached from your home you will not have to
     deal with  moving existing gutters or matching eave heights.  If you plan to
     build your shower close to the house, please keep the outer extremities of the
     shower a minimum of 4 inches back from your eaves.

     
     

What looks like the toughest part of this project is actually the easiest, the

     

graceful, solid-looking posts  We’ve designed these posts to simply be extended

     with our Post Extension for In-Ground Installation Kit, or directly mounted to a
     pre-existing concrete or wood surface using our Galvanized Steel Surface Mounts.
     See page 7 for more information.

     

It is critical before you start that you consider the current slope of the elevation

     

where the shower is planned - if there is any.  Also utility or sprinkler line

     

location is important to identify prior to excavating holes if necessary. 

     You should also check to verify local building codes, ordinances, neighbour-
     hood covenants, or height restrictions regarding this type of structure.

    Please take the time to read this instruction 
    guide thoroughly prior to the construction
    of your shower.  If you have any questions, 
    feel free to contact our technical dept by calling
    1 877 234 6196 (Mon to Fri 8:00 A.M. to 4:00 
    P.M. EST).
