When I saw Oborain at the AD Home Show last month, I was instantly craving summer. And with this week’s unusually temperate weather, these chic pre-fab outdoor showers seemed the perfect find to share.
Launched last year by Kirsten Oxboel and Jim Lobley, Oborain is the grown up designer version of that beloved fixture of summer beach vacations. At the intersection of nature, design and technology, the enclosure and actual shower fixture form a combined package that is easy to assemble (30 minutes), adaptable in size and layout and evidently a breeze to plumb.
The design is not only an example of simple modern elegance but carefully considered in terms of “durability, sustainability, and ease of maintenance.” And for families with children and/or dogs, I think an Oborain shower would be a brilliant addition for warm weather living.

Their new Cove design, with its cedar clapboard is inspired by traditional beach houses. Handmade in western Massachusetts, Oborain’s showers are available with either a Hansgrohe Croma Green shower pipe or Axor Citterio Thermostatic shower pipe.
Whether a house in the woods, by the beach or even in the suburbs, thsse marvelous mini structures let you enjoy the outdoors in a thoughtfully designed streamlined structure.
I love this shower- I wish I could put in my apartment!
Where/how did you buy it? I can’t seem to find the company.
I would love this in my backyard! Nothing better than an outdoor shower.
This couldn’t have come at a better time…we NEED a shower by the boathouse..THANKS!! franki
This is gorgeous, perfect for our wooded master bedroom, thanks for post!
This would certainly solve the problem of too many summer guests and not enough bathrooms. With the addition of one of those portable solar hot water makers that they use on boats it would stretch the hotwater for your home as well!
I think this is a must!! Billy would love it after our beach walks. I adore outdoor showers and we need a new one here at the beach! It’s perfection. ox
Now this is an outdoor shower! Love the wood and the fixtures.
Thank you for sharing, Stacey.

You must made my life very easy. We bought a house that is in need of a pool…until then, this is perfect. Good spotting! Jeanne~
I don’t know how I missed this at the show. This is perfect!my dogs would love cooling in the hot days of summer, and great for rinsing out after a swim…now all we need is some sunny warm days.
Thanks for the kudos! Please check out our website and download a catalog to see more about Oborain showers… and let me know if you have any questions!

Would like to see the catalog.
Cannot find any active website. Are you still in business?
I’m so sorry but it doesn’t look like they are – too bad, I really liked their product!
I am very interested in this shower for my house for an outdoor shower..need dimensions, and also price range.
I don’t blame you – this was a very stylish and practical solution. Since I wrote this piece, I believe this company is no longer in business.
