I started the project by building a rough model of the door out of 1/4 inch plywood.

Plywood Model

Here, the plywood model is installed in the boat to ensure that the door opens and closes with enough clearance, while standing in the shower, to be practical.

Model Installed

I took the plywood model down to my local fibre glass shop and had them cut the door panels for me out of 1/4 inch smoked plexiglass. The plexiglass cost me about $80.00. The door here is assembled with the stainless hinges. All of the stainless hardware cost about $35.00 - $40.00. The total cost, then, comes to about $120.00. Notice the bottom corners are rounded to protect the feet during opening and closing. The top corner was rounded just for appearance and fit.

Plexiglass Door

Here’s the finished product. I installed a web strap with snaps to hold the door in the open position against the left side wall of the shower. The smoked plexiglass looks dark from the outside. But while standing in the shower, plenty of light is available for showering. The triangular shaped part of the shower opening was left open for ventilation. The smoked plexiglass makes a good match with the sliding doors in my main salon.
