Shower Seat Top

Mahogany would work as well. Looks good.

Great seat. I’ve got a cypress bench that I made and it’s been outside for 3 years so far.

That should hold up.

Great job. Teak would be another option because of it’s oily nature.

Nice seat – the cypress should hold up well.

Nice job. I agree that cypress should work well. Another wood to consider, one that I may do something with, is ipe. Grumpy may know something about it. I know it is an excellent choice for decks so it should work well in this type of application as well.

Its lovely

I doubt it matters what kind of wood you use. Any wood subjected to wet then dry then wet then dry…...rots especially when joined where even the smallest amount of water can find its way in. It has to either stay wet, or stay dry.

All the same…........lovely seat

Nice job on the fabrication.
A freind of mine has two plastic lawn chairs in his steam room.
Not as pretty but they have been inservice for 5 years.

One thing I’ve considered for a shower stool is manufactured decking material like Trex. I understand it cuts like wood, and it will last forever. Anyone worked with it for a project other than its intended purpose?
