does anyone know how to build a shower pan without having to buy a fiberglas/acrylic or whatever molded pan?

i'm thinking of making one with poured cement as its for outdoors in a private spot in my backyard (very simple, open, like the type near beaches and pools, but i do want a pan so i can redirect grey water down the pan's drain to the area of garden i want it to go. 

yea i like to take showers outdoors in the summer instead of tracking dirt/mud into the house, as am an avid gardener and it reminds me of my vacations overseas of which these days it doesn't look i'll be going on anytime soon cuz of my finances =/

that should work well.  Just put some chicken wire in the concrete and it will hang together for years.  I Mede an outdoor shower pan out of p.t., an d put a piece of sea-board ( like cutting board plastic) at an angle under the planks to shed the water.  Also, if it's against a building, just thumbtack a shower curtain to the side of the building to shed the spray.  Showering out doors is wonderful!
