Enjoying a nice cool down in the middle of summer is no longer a luxury of the few. So which shower should we choose?
Garden Showers, whether Solar Shower or not, are a valuable resource for those who want to enjoy a nice, refreshing shower in summer. What’s more, it’s hard to do without them by the pool, or in a bathing establishment. Here are the best choices from ProduceShop for you.
Have you just finished assembling your new above-ground pool, but do you feel that something is missing in the scenery? No, it’s not the dunes unfortunately, nor is it the drinks kiosk (which, by the way…); we’re referring to a small element that not only completes an already interesting picture, but is also very useful. So what are we talking about? Of course, garden showers and outdoor solar showers, what else!
Colourful, sparkling, ecological and convenient; a complement that cannot be ignored, especially now that we are starting to prepare for the coming summer season. So, shall we discover together the Top7 of the best outdoor shower models that ProduceShop has chosen for you?
Let’s go!
Why buy a garden solar shower?
This type of outdoor shower is essentially chosen in two scenarios: if you have a swimming pool (in-ground or above-ground), or if you work in / own a bathing establishment.
The fact that it is a solar shower means that it works by using the thermal energy of the sun’s rays, through a small panel, to heat the water collected in the tank. This will have several advantages, and not just our own; we will always have hot water at zero cost, since we will not be connected to the electricity grid, and we will significantly reduce our environmental impact.
If this is already a positive thing for a private user, imagine the widespread benefit if an entire bathing establishment, or a public swimming pool, could make use of these outdoor showers, cutting down on unsustainable energy consumption.
Finally, especially if we are talking about portable garden showers, they are ideal for campsites, caravan or motorhome users, organised camping and outdoor festivals.
How to choose them?
Before choosing garden showers, we recommend, of course, that you read our complete buying guide. In case you did this a while ago, and need a refresher, here are the main features to consider when choosing:
- intended use: as we have seen, outdoor showers are designed for both private and business use, so first frame where you will be placing them (and why);
- materials: think about the fact that your outdoor shower must withstand the elements, so opt for reliable materials such as metal, perhaps with reinforced PVC or polyethylene covers;
- dimensions: the two fundamental dimensions to consider are height and base space. Remember that you will still need to move around and be comfortable under the garden shower;
- design: this depends on personal taste. Consider models that are minimalist and simple, always elegant, or more vintage, with exposed pipes, to those that are colourful and modern;
- technical features: carefully consider the type and power of the water jet, the presence of a second foot washing jet, the capacity of the tank, the heating system and the mixer.
Let’s now move on to ProduceShop’s ranking of the 7 best solar garden showers!
What are the best Solar Garden Showers?
-
Cataratas
A complete solar shower with a very distinctive design; from a solid, linear shaft, interrupted by the mixer, a large gargoyle overlooks the top to provide unprecedented cool (or hot) showers. The continuous mixer, the reinforced PVC cover, and the practical additional foot-washing tap make it the most complete and interesting model in this classification, offered at a decidedly out-of-the-ordinary price.

Angel
For lovers of more unusual designs, Arati’s Angel is a garden shower that is certainly interesting; not only for its modern, slender design, which soars upwards in an imperceptible curve, but above all for the functionality of the hand shower and its capacious 20 litre tank. The integrated solar panel, with its environmentally friendly system, guarantees you unlimited hot and cold water.

Happy H120
A garden shower that is 100% Made in Italy, following in the design tradition of this country. The Happy is a product whose name was certainly not chosen at random; the variety of colours available, the sinuous but robust lines that lead to a metallic and super powerful hand shower, make it the ideal companion during sultry summer afternoons. A capacious tank and state-of-the-art mixer conclude the presentation of this extraordinary model.

Vinnufossen
Vinnufossen is a 100% environmentally friendly solar shower; thanks to the action of the sun’s rays, and the water heating process that takes place inside the 10L tank, the shower is able to provide endless hot water completely free of charge and without affecting your household expenses in the slightest. If we add to this the modern and solid design of the reinforced PVC body, we have a complete and ideal product for any type of accommodation, public or private.

Sole
Raising the bar a little higher, we move into the realm of pure design garden showers; here we can find models such as the Sole by Sined, which stand out from its cheaper sisters in terms of shape and functionality. Extremely light despite its solid and sturdy appearance (only 8.5 kg), two separate taps (high and foot height) mark it out as the perfect element for those more elegant relaxation environments such as exclusive swimming pools and outdoor spas. Of course, solar-charged and completely environmentally friendly.
