outside shower

I'm wanting to build an outside shower from PVC piping that is easy to store, sturdy and easy to operate for the grand kids to wash sand off before entering the camper. If any one has any designs or ideas I would love to hear and see them. Can't find a lot of information on the web. Thanks!

    X2. Best answer to solve the re-defined problem.

    Don't know why you'd want to mess with a pvc pipe contraption for the simple task of rinsing feet. And do you really think that would keep unruly boys from spraying down everything in the area?
  • I do like the spray bottle ideas. That's one I haven't thought of.
  • Another option could be a plastic dishpan left near the door. If the kids tend to get dirtier like mine, a storage tote is a little bigger and the walls are higher to catch splashed water. They have had no problems stepping in and out of it.

    I use a 3 gallon spray pump that is made from black plastic, originally for spraying chemicals like weed killers and fertilizer. The black plastic absorbs the heat when left in the sun and when you pump it up you can get several showers without re-pumping. I use it when I camp at the beach with no hook ups. I use it for rinsing the salt water off after swimming and sand off the feet before going into the MH. No I never used it for it original purpose.
  • We use a half full 5 gallon home depot bucket to stand in with a big cup to rinse off. It's also a step stool, a seat, a tool tote, put some dirt in it and it's a tie down for the awning, etc, etc.
