Prep Guide
Shower Pan with Corner Seat
1. All showers need blocking between each stud, which should be 12 inches high from the floor up. Same applies to (1a.) and (1b.).
2. Every shower needs a damn, which is at a very minimum 3 inches high. The shower damn is normally constructed of 2 or 3 (2 x 4’s) stacked flat on top of each other at the entrance of the shower.
3. An installed shower drain always needs to be flush with the floor. The correct shower drain will have a top and bottom flange held together by 3 or 4 removable bolts.
4. When building the bench it is important to block all surrounding areas of the bench. Blocking needs to be at least 6 inches hill all around. Same applies to 4a.
5. It is very important to block the area that is perpendicular to the corner seat, this area is often forgotten. Block should be at least 6 inches wide. Same applies to 5b.
6. We recommend that the flat vertical surface of the corner seat be blocked from top to bottom allowing for complete coverage.
