Who needs to shower indoors anyway? That’s right, there’s a Portable Solar Garden Shower available for your every day needs. It’s a nice alternative to those of you who want to embrace your inner hippie, because well…at least in this case you are showering. Of course, the neighbors might be a little apprehensive at first when you set this shower up. Possible suggestions include setting it up in the backyard, near a pool, next to your RV camper or maybe you just feel like showering outside (swimsuits suggested).

Here’s how it works: a base tank on the shower holds water than can be heated by the sun in as little as two hours. After the water is heated, it’s a quick flick of a switch and you’ve got an all natural, soothing shower. The water is warm as well…reaching temperatures of about 86 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s a nice alternative, and certainly good for those of you who enjoy spending time outdoors. On the other hand, if you’ve just always wanted to take a shower in your backyard then go ahead…just make sure you are out of the view of your neighbors first.
