We are having a custom-built annex, made of wood, installed in the back garden.

The forume has changed since I last used it.

To carry on from where I was ...

The company making and installing the annexe does not do plumbing, so that's up to us.

There will be a small bathroom with toiler, hand-basin and shower. My question concerns the instalation of the shower,

Here is a drawing of the bathroom area:

All walls are made of wood, not wood and plaster

There is a space, to take a 800x1000 shower

I cannot find a complete shower cubcle - the most is a door and one side, I need four sides, so water does not get onto the three wooden side.
Or, is there an alternative way of protecting the wooden sides, so you just need a gloass front panel/door?

You'd need to look to the commercial world for complete shower enclosures, they definitely exist.
You could use PVC planks (cheap and not brilliant) or the heavier resin wall panels on the wooden walls, either should serve your purposes.

Recently had our's, in a similar situation to yours, done with Multi-Panels. I'd definitely recommend them even though they don't come cheap. Also you might need a plumber for the tray & a joiner to install the panels unless you know a GOOD bathroom installer who has experience of using them.
