Build an Outdoor Washing Station Featuring Your Cobra Outdoor Tap

An outdoor washing station is the perfect addition to your garden, backyard, or patio! Whether you need a place to rinse off muddy boots, clean gardening tools, or even wash fresh produce from your veggie garden, this station will keep messes outside while being functional and stylish. Plus, with a durable Cobra outdoor tap, you can trust it to handle the job with ease.

Here’s how to build your own outdoor washing station in a few simple steps!

What You’ll Need:

Cobra Outdoor Tap
Wooden pallets or weather-resistant timber
A large, deep basin or sink (plastic, stainless steel, or repurposed)
PVC pipes and plumbing connectors
Screws, nails, and a drill
A garden hose (if you’re not connecting to a direct water supply)
Paint or wood sealer (optional for finishing)
A small shelf or hooks for added functionality

Step 1: Choose the Perfect Spot

Pick a convenient location for your washing station, such as near your garden, braai area, or outdoor space where messes often happen. Ensure it’s close to a water source, like a pipe for your Cobra outdoor tap or a garden hose connector.

Step 2: Build the Frame

Use wooden pallets or weather-resistant timber to build the frame for your washing station.
Create a sturdy countertop for your sink to rest on, leaving space underneath for drainage or storage.
For a rustic look, keep the wood natural, or paint/seal it for extra durability and a polished finish

Step 3: Install the Sink
Place your basin or sink securely into the countertop. If using a pre-made sink, cut a hole in the wood to fit its size snugly.
Ensure the sink is level and securely fastened to the frame using screws or brackets.

Step 4: Connect the Cobra Outdoor Tap

Mount the Cobra outdoor tap on a nearby wall, post, or directly to your washing station’s frame.
Connect the tap to your water supply using PVC pipes or a garden hose, depending on your setup.
Test the tap to ensure water flows smoothly and there are no leaks.

Step 5: Add Drainage

For simple setups, place a bucket beneath the sink to catch wastewater.
For a more permanent solution, connect a PVC drainage pipe from the sink to a designated runoff area, such as a flower bed or gravel pit.

Step 6: Add Functional Extras

Install a small shelf above or next to the washing station for storing soap, brushes, or tools.
Attach hooks on the side for hanging towels, gloves, or garden hoses.
For extra style, decorate with potted plants, lanterns, or a cute sign that reads “Outdoor Wash Station.”

Step 7: Seal and Protect

If you’ve used wood, apply a weatherproof sealant or outdoor paint to protect it from the elements.
Regular maintenance will ensure your station looks great and lasts for years.
