Outdoor Shower Enclosures for Orleans homes
Orleans is the gateway to the Outer Cape and part of it lies in the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District. Homes near Nauset and Pleasant Bay deal with strong wind and salt spray.
Orleans touches more water than almost any Cape town: Cape Cod Bay at Rock Harbor, the Atlantic at Nauset, and Pleasant Bay and Little Pleasant Bay on the south and east. Orleans makes up about 72 percent of the Pleasant Bay Area of Critical Environmental Concern, so many waterfront projects start with a conservation filing.
The Old King's Highway district covers only the part of Orleans north and west of Route 6, from the Brewster line to the rotary and then along the Eastham line to the bay. East Orleans, South Orleans and the Pleasant Bay and Nauset side are outside it, where a building permit and, near the water, a conservation filing are the main approvals.
Nearly half of Orleans homes are seasonal, and the median house dates to the late 1970s, so many are due for new roofs, decks and windows. On a second home we plan the work for when you are away and keep you updated with photos and video.
Approvals that can apply in Orleans
Old King's Highway Historic District Committee
Covers Orleans north and west of Route 6. Exterior changes visible from a public way need a certificate. In-kind shingle or clapboard replacement is maintenance. Exemption certificates cover natural cedar or approved-color asphalt roofs at up to 5 inch exposure, cedar or clapboard siding, gutters, storm windows and wood decks at the rear of single-family homes.
Orleans Historical Commission
Outside the historic district, a twelve month demolition delay applies to significant buildings, including those built in or before 1920 that are on or eligible for a historic register.
Conservation Commission
Any work in a wetland or within the 100 foot buffer zone, including sheds, fences and decks, needs prior approval under the state Act and the Orleans Wetlands Bylaw. Beaches, dunes, coastal banks and salt marshes are protected.

FAQ
Outdoor Shower Enclosures in Orleans, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for outdoor shower enclosures in Orleans?
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 Orleans, permits go through the Orleans Building Department at Town Hall, 19 School Road, Orleans, MA 02653, 508-240-3700 ext. 2455. Exterior changes in Orleans can also need review by the Old King's Highway Historic District Committee, the Orleans 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.
