Hot summer days call for time outside on the deck or patio, grilling food in the great outdoors when its too hot to cook in the kitchen. For those who love this time of year, the summer season is a great time to consider ways that plumbing could make your summers even better. If outdoor entertaining is one of your favorite summer activities, here are some plumbing ideas to help make it easier.
- Outdoor kitchens. Are you tired of running in and out of the house during your summer grilling parties? Why not add an outdoor kitchen area, fully equipped with a plumbed sink for easy cooking and cleaning?
- Wet bar. If you are an amateur mixologist or just like a cold beverage on a hot day, think how great it would be to have a fully functional wet bar on your patio or by the pool. Your house will be the most popular in the neighborhood!
- Outdoor shower. If you have a pool or hot tub, an outdoor shower is an excellent way to rinse off the chlorine water, saving your skin and hair from potential damage. Even if you don’t have either a pool or a spa, there’s nothing like showering outside on a hot summer day to cool off.
There are many great ways to add convenience and fun to your home’s backyard with the addition of indoor plumbing in your outdoor areas. In addition to providing more outdoor amenities, outdoor plumbing can keep people from needing to go in and out of your home as much while you entertain outdoors. This limits the mess of entertaining to a few areas while also allowing greater energy efficiency in your home as doors are opened less frequently. Talk to your local plumber for more ideas on how to add water fixtures to your patio or deck area.
