Adding an outdoor shower to your garden isn’t just a luxury — it’s a smart and stylish upgrade that blends beauty with function. Whether it’s a quick rinse after a swim, washing the dog, or simply embracing an outdoor lifestyle, the right shower can transform your space.
At Proper Copper Design, we craft each of our outdoor showers by hand in the UK using high-quality copper. This material not only stands the test of time, but also develops a rich, natural patina that ages beautifully — adding character year after year.
Here’s what to consider when choosing the perfect copper outdoor shower for your space:
Think about how you’ll use your outdoor shower to select the right features:
Post-Swim Rinse-Off – A tall wall-mounted shower with a wide rain-style head like our Pinios | Copper Rainfall Shower, is perfect for rinsing off after the pool or hot tub
Gardening & Messy Jobs – Add a foot rinse valve or lower tap to easily wash off muddy boots or tools, for example our Quara | Copper Garden Shower with Garden Tap.
Dog Washing – Many of our showers can be fitted with a second, lower showerhead or hose — ideal for keeping your furry friends clean.

Copper brings natural warmth and elegance to any garden. Over time, its finish evolves — changing from a bright polish to rich, earthy tones that blend seamlessly into outdoor surroundings.Choose from:
Natural copper– develops a rich tarnish over time, darkening to rustic tones. This layer offers anti-microbial and corrosion-resistant properties.
Antique Copper – Each piece is carefully aged to develop rich, dark tones, then lightly hand-sanded to add a subtle weathered effect for a bold, timeless look.
Verdigris Copper – Our Verdigris Finish recreates the beautiful blue-green patina that naturally forms on copper over time through exposure to air and seawater.
We also offer customisation options — from shower head styles to tap heads, valves, and pipework detailing.
Copper isn’t just beautiful — it’s incredibly practical. It’s naturally resistant to corrosion, bacteria, and harsh weather, making it ideal for outdoor use. Unlike stainless steel or plastic fixtures, copper won’t crack, fade, or discolour over time.
Every Proper Copper Design shower is handcrafted in our Brighton workshop and built to last for years to come.
All of our outdoor showers are compatible with standard UK plumbing fittings and can be installed by a local plumber or experienced DIYer. Whether you’re connecting to hot and cold feeds or using a garden hose, we’ll tailor your shower to your setup.
