I Built a Backyard Waterpark - Full Detailed Build

Рік тому

It's been a hot, dry summer... So what better way to cool down than with 20 gallons of water aggressively pouring on your head? I made this DIY backyard waterpark / splash pad and filmed every step of the way. Great backyard build for dads or grandpas.
Compete with a tipping bucket, floor jets, mister wall, DIY PVC water gun, tube water slide, rope tunnel, sandbox and rock wall. Budget was about $2500 USD with all new pieces.
Plans: Coming soon!

@sabriath Рік тому

You should put a crossbeam with the plastic corrugated facing 45 degrees against the drop roof so that the bucket water gets angled more downward toward the drop zone instead of mostly in the yard....it will also guarantee the splash zone regardless of how much is in the bucket so that there's no disappointment of misfire. Looks awesome though!

@DrewBuildsStuff Рік тому

Good tip! The kids are still getting use to it so maybe once they are ready for more water on them I will add that.

@jewdd1989 Рік тому

I’m just in pure awe of your deep love and consideration for your nephews and niece! I’m an Aunt of many so this hit close to home for me.

You literally built a water park, it’s amazing and functions so well it’s impressive and I look forward to more projects

This is such a great idea, you should add the whole thing onto a substructure (another deck) and make a sump, with a pump and filter that can fill a holding tank that's like a water tower for pressure and for water conservation.

I watch a lot of these videos of people building stuff, and very few ever tell us what they are doing and why they are doing something a certain way. You, sir, are a welcome exception. You explain almost every inch of what you are doing, why this way or that way, and what something is for. Why can't they all do that? (grins)
