Assembly Instructions

1. Connect Shower Sections: Assemble the PVC pipe sections by screwing them together. The design is drip-proof and typically requires no tools for assembly. Ensure connections are hand-tightened securely.
2. Attach Shower Head and Foot Spigot: Securely attach the shower head to the top curved pipe and the foot wash spigot to its designated port on the main column.

5. Connect to Garden Hose: Attach a standard garden hose to the adapter located on the shower's base. Ensure this connection is tight and secure.
