i think the reason that he made such a wide base and curved the end a bit upwards is because of the balance of the shower. Now the power of the water points down and makes a loop, and i think it won’t fall over…

and who needs a hot shower when it is hot outside?
I think it works good just for washing off seesalt, or dust before taking a good dive into the swimming pool…
and for those moments you work in the garden in 30 degrees celcius in your boxers, this comes in kinda handy..

Though the design is lovely in its simplicity, I have a strong suspicion that the designer didn’t test it. Frankly, there’s no way the water from a garden hose ( even one in the sun)contains enough hot water to last more than a few seconds. After that, unless you really enjoy cold showers, you’re going to be uncomfortable.

Well, you won’t be using an outdoor shower if it’s cold outside, would you? I used to do this in the summer, but just straight out of the hose. Much more fun when there are other people around…

i also doubt the warmin up effect, even if the metal should heat up and help warming it a bit. and im unsure if its not going to fall over in and average not perfectly flat garden. but it looks very gentle. i like it.

For about 30 seconds, until the “nice temperature” water in the hose is out – then you’ve got straight cold water.

Perfectly sensible.
