Outdoor Shower Enclosures for Sandwich homes
Sandwich is the oldest town on Cape Cod, and the area along Route 6A falls inside the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District. Exterior changes visible from a public way there usually need approval from the town's historic committee before work starts.
Sandwich was settled in 1637 and is home to the Hoxie House, described as the oldest house on Cape Cod. Along Route 6A and in the village center, antique homes sit next to well kept capes and colonials, and new work has to respect the proportions, trim and materials of the street.
Everything north of Route 6, from the Bourne line to the Barnstable line and down to the low water mark on Cape Cod Bay, is inside the Old King's Highway Regional Historic District. Exterior changes there go through the Sandwich OKH committee, which offers both certificates of appropriateness and simpler certificates of exemption.
South of Route 6, in Forestdale and the neighborhoods around the ponds, homes are mostly single-family houses on wooded lots. There, roofing, siding and deck projects usually need only a building permit, and the focus shifts to shade, moisture and ventilation.

FAQ
Outdoor Shower Enclosures in Sandwich, MA: common questions
Do I need a permit for outdoor shower enclosures in Sandwich?
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 Sandwich, permits go through the Sandwich Building Department at 100 Route 6A, Sandwich, MA 02563, 508-888-4200. Exterior changes in Sandwich can also need review by the Old King's Highway Historic District Committee 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.
