I have loved this style since I've seen it years ago. You have given a really great explanation of the waterproofing. Thank you so much!

About to do the same thing ...and for the same reasons, thanks for sharing! Liked the end result, cheers!

Shower looks super nice. Thanks for the idea. ❤

Looks excellent, exactly what I’m trying to do. Thank you!

This is a great idea for a renovation!

been wanting to do this last year, tossing and turning between fiberglass and I had questions concerning logistics, very informational ty

Great idea! I've pondered this use of this material in the past and then I pondered some more... and pondered some more... and more and more! LOL! Thank you so much for sharing your ideas and the procedures you ultimately used. I'm going to use this system in a much smaller area, about 40" square with one corner cut-off (for the doorway). I will be converting the whole bathroom into a shower room (remove the tiny vanity and 'black tank connected' toilet completely) that will include a home built composting toilet system (with a bucket!) and a built in "wet" bench with two lids; both closed (down) for shower activity and the top lid up for "other" activity. Both lids will open for emptying the waste catch materials. One tricky part of this system will be to make sure water from shower activity doesn't find it's way into the waste system. My main issue to solve now is how to create a shower pan with a curb at the doorway. Built-in-place? Or built outside (somewhere) and then installed into place? (EDIT!) As I continue to "ponder" this project, I'm leaning towards building the pan and doorway curb (which will end up being one continuous raised edge around the entire shower, similar to the "kick board" around a normal room)... by building it in place for fitment and then removing it and applying an epoxy coating before permanently installing it in place. Then I will install the shower walls.

I did a corrugated ceiling on my back porch . It turned out great! I like rustic.

Why didn't I think of that?! Love this idea! Thanks!

Excellent video.

Great item very Portable and easy to clean.

I love that look

Doing my Mountain house this summer.. Excellent!

I love the idea, love the look. My idea is to use PT plywood as the backer, then pretend the surround is a metal roof - fiberglass underlayment followed by water & ice shield up from the shower base (comes on 36" x 75' roll, sticks like crazy), then the corregated metal roofing. Got plenty of leftover screws (galv. w/ rubber washers) from doing the metal roof on my cabin. I'll use your idea for the shower valve. I do acknowledge inside corners will be tricky. Thanks for posting this!

I was thinking about doing this, but with the corrugated lexan roofing panels. I have an odd size shower base, and can't find a surround that is within my budget.

interesting idea

How cool

How did you finish around the bottom edge? I'm planning to do this, but I'm afraid the children will get their fingers cut.

USING one piece vinyl flooring works good also for shower surround and cheap.

can you show how to mount the tap and shower fittings on the iron?

I used this 8 years ago and still love it. I need to install grab bars, anyone have tips or experience. Do i need to mount onto pvc board?

What did u do on the left, looking at the shower, where the wood and metal meet?

I avoided some of the difficulty of working with the corrugations around your faucet, by using the more modern galvanized Roofing panels. Using the more modern style panels they have flatter portions that are 5 or 6 inch wide. I laid mine out in such a manner where my faucets lined up with the flatter portions of the panel and the set flat against the wall. Other differences and how I did mine are the way I sealed the wall behind the tin, and how I attach the 10 to the wall. I used conventional green drywall, coated heavy with the red polymer type coating for tub and shower enclosures. I then used and he Civ to glue my galvanized panels to the wall, with no screw penetrations as they did in this video. Another thing I did, was to use the same galvanized panels to do a wainscoting on part of the bathroom. This tight it all together nicely.

I would recommend a cement based board like Durarock if coating with a liquid membrane (red polymer coating). The green drywall comes waterproofed so adding a waterproof coating over the top will create a double vapor barrier.

Exelente: that's my taste of old fashion.

Nice

... is that not gonna mold, like the entire thing when it sweats?

How to you keep it clean from water stains?

I think you could run copper on the outside of the surround, it would look good

Did the metal touch your shower pan?

When screwing into the panels, don't you then puncture the tar paper and waterproof membrane? Getting ready to do this project and trying to think of obstacles. Gonna try and use a shower surround, dreamline prime 33", with the tin.

Yes they puncture those layers but it's no different than any common metal roof, which relies on the rubber gasket built into the roofing screws to prevent water incursion. It is wise to check the screws for gasket damage or wear, which I also had a roofer check from time to time on the metal roof of our home.

The first time you lean on that it will make a dent. That's what I was worried about. I'm redoing my RV trailer I have a deep bathtub and I'm building my own tub surround

You missing one thing for the perfect look... a galvanize stock tank tub 😉

I want to do this but how safe is it when it's lightning outside?

@@akwolf1434 I think she is referring to the condensation that will occur with the hot water heating the metal. The tar paper and membrane will protect the plywood/framing from water intrusion and do not prevent mold growth. You still have a potential of mold developing between the vapor barrier you've created (tar paper and pan liner) and the metal sheet. The only way to deter mold from propagating in this space is plenty of air movement BEHIND the metal. Moisture from condensation is going to occur behind the metal; so preventing mold from developing will be a challenge. I would recommend 1) good quality air ventilation in the room and 2) run the corrugations vertically and do not seal off the top and bottom edges of the sheets. In other words allow room for air to move behind the metal, allowing an improved breath-ability. Keep in mind, these steps will only help mitigate mold growth and not prevent it. Installing the grooves vertically will help air move by convection BUT this isn't at all ideal considering that the temperature change which will cause most of the convection that happens in this room (hot water from the shower) is also raising the moisture level in the air. Two sides of the same coin as they say. Best of luck!

Not using too much hot water. Just rinse it off. 5 min shower.

Galvanized in the shower seems like a bad idea. Is it not a corrosive metal? Which means it will rust if so. Looks great though.

Metal is galvanized so it won't rust.

Where do u buy the metal???

that's about 60 bucks worth of tin, suppose the rest of the stuff could be 600 plus.., don't know if I'd use galvanized for a shower. Has lead and zinc I thought...looks good

Use a thicker galvanized sheet then it wont dent so easily

That's a great caulk

I've done this a dozen times but I really do not like your shower valve and ur pvc tho
