i love bamboo, giant bird of paradise etc but do NOT put next to your pool. In our last build we used Zanadu. Big leaves that do not drop and bullet proof. Perhaps find another way to cover the fence other than plants that almost always drop their leave and have invasive roots.

Or if budget allows, why not have both an overhead shower rose from the ceiling and a wall mounted handheld shower head. Hubby prefers overhead shower (and I think most guys do as they don't really care if their hair gets wet) but I don't wash my hair everyday and wanted a wall mounted handheld one, so as we couldn't agree we settled for both with a diverter mixer tap. P.S. the ceiling shower rose we got can be slightly tilted and I think most of them do so you can have it at a bit of an angle. P.P.S. if you can't get both then I would go with a wall mounted handheld shower head as it will be much easier to clean the shower area, can't imagine the practicality of cleaning with an overhead... good luck! :)

louvres are expensive ..our remote controlled one for our roof costed us 16-18K as had to go through council for permits..it also depends on how big the space is to be installed..this was done a few years back so prices might have gone up..considering our sliding sunroof was 26K we got a bargain with that..as louvres are not water tight..

It actually looks like it was designed for a shower screen that was never installed, maybe because they ran out of money towards the end of the job? Frameless shower screens look fantastic when you can afford to put one in when you are renovating or building a new bathroom. Usually frameless shower screens have their anchoring points or recessed channels installed before tiling. It is actually quite tricky to retrofit a frameless shower screen neatly where there are existing tiles as the junction between the two materials needs to be watertight, and there may be uneveness in the tiles. You don't want to penetrate the waterproof membrane that is under the tiles with a retrofitted fixing for a frameless shower screen. I would suggest a semi-frameless screen which has a steel channel at the junction between the glass and the tiles which will be easier to keep clean, provide better support for the glass, and not be reliant on a silicone bead (which often goes mouldy in a shower recess). I would not have it longer than a metre as you will need at least 600mm clear to access the toilet. Extend it to the ceiling (see photo above) for better rigidity. A cheaper solution would be an L-shaped shower curtain rod and shower curtain! Best of luck Dr Retro of Dr Retro House Calls
