If you want to originate a shower stall in your bathroom, you need to learn about shower stall framing first. By defining the space for this project, you will begin to originate a stable area in which to begin your building. You can also do creative things like add only a half a wall to a part of the shower, helping to profess privacy while the shower, but also to give a unique look to your bathroom. Here are the steps to shower framing - and they can all be done in one weekend:
Assuming that you've already measured your shower, the first step to shower framing is to originate the actual frames for the walls. This will want 2x4s and some long nails to affix the pieces together. Be certain to measure out the pieces exactly -measuring twice and cutting once. You might want to lay the outside frame pieces down on the ground first and then contain any supporting pieces in the layout before you of course start nailing all together.

Adding wooden pieces to the walls and the floor of your shower will help you setup the perfect affixing point. To get a snug fit, try adding small pieces of felt along the edges of your bathroom stall area. With the help of a friend or house member, you will then want to lift the finishing stall framing and put it into place in your bathroom. Attach these pieces with galvanized steel nails that will not rust or weather in the moist conditions of the shower area.
Once the shower stall framing is up, you can add in drywall or the plastic shower stall setup that you want to put into place. This is easy to do when you have a shower stall that you simply have to place into the space, but for those that need tiling and other involved steps, you might have to spend more time on this project. After caulking the edges of a precut shower stall and manufacture sure that the framing is secure, you will be ready for a shower in your new bathroom within just one weekend.
