On a hot day, there’s nothing better than diving into a pool of water. If you don’t have room for a pool in your back garden, you can still cool down with an outdoor shower.

“Having a shower in the garden reminds you of being on holiday, and makes you feel free,” says Thilo Dreyer, a member of the German Bathroom Manufacturers’ Association.
