Will copper rust or go green?

Copper doesn’t rust like iron, but it does naturally darken over time, developing rich reddish-brown tones. In outdoor settings, it may take years to develop a blue-green verdigris patina. This protective layer helps prevent corrosion, making copper ideal for outdoor showers. If you prefer the original shine, regular polishing and sealing can slow the aging process, or alternatively opt for our satin lacquered finish, which is coated in protective lacquer to help prevent natural tarnishing. 

Can I leave it outside in winter?

Our outdoor showers are designed with a drainage valve at the base to help protect the system during cold weather. When temperatures are expected to drop below freezing, simply shut off the water supply to the shower and open the drainage valve. This allows any remaining water in the pipes and fittings to fully drain out, preventing damage that can occur when water freezes and expands inside the system. Taking this step helps ensure the longevity of your shower through winter conditions.

Is installation hard?

Not at all. Our showers are designed for quick and easy installation. They come ready to install and simply need to be mounted to your chosen surface using the included brackets and screws, then connected to your water supply using a compression fitting. Every shower includes all necessary parts, along with clear installation instructions. And if you need a hand, we're always happy to help with any part of the process.
