hello, im building a shower cabin inside a store im renting (where im living).
right now i have everything drain/water pipes figured out. but i need help with the structure.
plan is to use pic related for the cabin and make U shape (when looked from the sky), its gonna be next to a Wall, so maybe the structure can be fixed to this Wall for aditional support (and so it doesnt move).

to lift the shower ill use bricks, see next pic related, thats the bricks i have. and thats the floor where the shower Will be (tiles). it aint perfectly flat.
right now im lost in how to make everything leveled/flat. thats my main question here. some people have told me to use cement,but i cant visualize how. doing a layer a couple cm in the ground and then laying the bricks and then putting some more on top and puting the shower tray? or maybe covering all in cement, but that would be a lot.
then second question (or looking for ideas). if i use the metal profiles as structure, one at each corner, if the shower tray is raised with bricks i wont have where to support the profiles (imagine the tray in the ground, then they would just be on the ground next to). one idea would be to do the walls with this plastic thing (pic related) and as this plastic would be over the tray then it would suppor the structure also. but not sure if this Will be sturdy enough. or should i put some sort of plate under the shower tray?just a Little bit larger than the tray so the metal profiles can be supported?
im lost, thanks!

Why don't you build a platform out of lumber, put a plywood floor on it, then drop your shower pan on that? You can even put a piece of plastic down on the plywood and dump your cement on it to help level it.

Or maybe that sounds too much like what an actual plumber would do?

How are you gonna vent the drain BTW?

Also, the lulz demand that we get more pics.

You got more than enough feedback to build your shower in the last thread you made about it.
