| Least difficult is to buy a plastic one preformed

We want ceramic tile on it, so this won't work.

| If you are making one from mud

What do you mean by "mud" - concrete? Won't that be too heavy with ceramic
tile on top of it?

Is there any other way?

Showerpans are commonly made from a very dry mix of sand and cement for tiling.
Yes, it's heavy, but that is the way it's done. See my other post to find more
info.

Hire a pro and watch him....First you need to be sure the floor will hold
it...NOT a DIY project to start out with IMHO...HTH...

I built ours by constructing a sloped mud bed, then using "Kerdi"
waterproofing membrane and the associated drain. It's not necessarily the
least expensive, but it's a great system.

You can find lots of advice, information, and examples on the John Bridge
tiling forum. Here's a link on that forum to my tiling project:

My mud bed shower pan starts around page 3 of that thread.

Good luck,

Anthony

I bought this e-book from Tim Carter a few years ago when I built my
shower pan. Best $15 I ever spent. The project went real smooth.
