Outdoor Shower Enclosures for Harwich homes
Enclosed outdoor showers with hot and cold water, cedar or PVC walls and proper drainage, built to winterize easily on a seasonal house.
Harwich Port and West Harwich face Nantucket Sound, where summer cottages and year-round homes sit close to the water. Outdoor showers, decks and cedar shingle repairs are typical projects for homes this close to the water.
Harwich's south shore faces Nantucket Sound, with Allen, Wychmere and Saquatucket harbors and the Herring River cutting inland. Homes near the water are built for summer living, so decks, porches and outdoor showers take as much weather as the roof does.
Close to half of Harwich homes have been seasonal or occasional residences. On a summer house the goal is a deck and exterior that can sit closed up all winter and look right in June: composite or PVC decking, stainless hardware, and trim that will not cup or rot.
Harwich Center has a local historic district along Main and Parallel Streets, and the town reviews demolition of any building 100 years or older. Both are worth knowing about before an addition or a major exterior change on an older house.

FAQ
Outdoor Shower Enclosures in Harwich, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for outdoor shower enclosures in Harwich?
An outdoor shower with hot and cold water usually needs a plumbing permit, pulled by a licensed plumber, and the town can also look at where the water drains. In Harwich, permits go through the Harwich Building Department at Town Hall, 732 Main Street, Harwich, MA 02645, 508-430-7506. Exterior changes in Harwich can also need review by the Harwich Historic District and Historical Commission and the Conservation Commission, depending on where the house sits, so it is worth checking before work is scheduled.
What is the best material for an outdoor shower on Cape Cod?
Western red cedar and Alaskan yellow cedar are the classic choices because they resist rot and weather to a natural gray. PVC boards cost more but need almost no maintenance and never rot. Many of our showers use a cedar enclosure on a PVC or composite base where water sits.
Can an outdoor shower have hot water?
Yes. Most outdoor showers we build have hot and cold water tied into the home's plumbing through a licensed plumber, with shut-off valves inside the house so the lines can be drained for winter.
