With the trex like stuff the color matters. The dark stuff gets hot in the sun. I have a deck made of that stuff but its light gray. Does not get hot.
It does have a texture to it that may be too agressive for bare feet. Maybe find somewhere that has it as decking and try it with your shoes off.

I just stack a cord of wood around mine - the advantages of a cottage in the wilds of Truro.
Larry, make it as big as possible, with southern exposure (to get sun and block cold winds) and a double showerhead (double showerhead for water coverage more than anything).
My decking is just standard pt, and it is not slippery, but I worry about the breakdown of the wood and monster splinters. When I re-do it I would use a composite, maybe a light grey to keep the heat factor low..

Very good Crafty - along with a little salmon to break things up. See, its a multi purpose shower stall - firewood, coolers, smokers, grill

Larry, if it's a short term thing you can get a solar shower stall
from Hamilton Marine for around $37. If it is forever thing i would go
with teak, but big. $$$$$$$$$$$$$

A Luan floor would work, get better the more you use it because of the soap. In the old days the Japanese would rub down their outdoor wood with old bath water for a nice finish. A nice light colored trex would be ice as well. I've been pondering this myself for the Cape House..
