Outdoor Shower Enclosures for Provincetown homes
Provincetown has dense, older housing stock and its own historic district commission, so exterior projects often involve careful repair of original trim, clapboard and shingles. Tight lots also make staging and material deliveries part of the plan.
Provincetown's town plan describes its housing as the oldest on Cape Cod, and about four in ten homes were built before 1940. Houses sit close together along Commercial and Bradford Streets, so staging, deliveries and keeping neighbors' property protected are part of planning any job.
Roughly three quarters of the town's land is National Seashore, which keeps homes in a narrow strip along the harbor. Many buildings are condos or multi-unit houses, which means association approvals often come before town permits.
Provincetown is a Green Community, so the Stretch Energy Code applies and residential applications need to show compliance with the 2021 energy code. Windows, insulation and roofing assemblies are chosen with that in mind.
Approvals that can apply in Provincetown
Provincetown Historic District Commission
Reviews exterior features visible from a public way in the Provincetown Historic District. Its guidelines cover windows (no framing down historic openings, muntins suited to the style), roofs (wood shakes encouraged, asphalt in suitable colors), siding, decks, porches with wood railings and fences. Paint color, gutters and storm windows are exempt.
Provincetown Historical Commission
Outside the historic district, a six month demolition delay applies to significant buildings over 50 years old. Inside the district, demolition is effectively prohibited except in extraordinary circumstances.

The Provincetown Wetlands Protection Bylaw is stricter than state law and covers wetlands, banks, beaches, dunes, flats, ponds of any size, flood zones and the 100 foot buffer to any of them.

FAQ
Outdoor Shower Enclosures in Provincetown, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for outdoor shower enclosures in Provincetown?
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 Provincetown, permits go through the Provincetown Building Department at Town Hall, 260 Commercial Street, Provincetown, MA 02657, 508-487-7020. Exterior changes in Provincetown can also need review by the Provincetown Historic District Commission, the Provincetown 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.
