We purchased our trampoline a couple years ago for the kids for Christmas and I will say it has been their most played with toy…by far. During the summer the jumping surface of the trampoline gets pretty hot so my kids worked to rig up a sprinkler system to cool it down. This is what they came up with.
It worked great keeping the surface and the kids nice and cool and gave the trampoline a whole new appeal.
This is what you need to make one of your own and how you do it.
Supplies:
1- 1 1/2″ x 10′ PVC Pipe
2- 1 1/2″ 45 degree elbows
Instructions:
Cut the pipe into a 5′, 4′, and 1′ piece
Cut an angle on one end of the 5′ piece and drive the end into the ground near your trampoline
Slip on a 45 degree elbow
Put the other 45 degree elbow and the 1′ pipe on one end of the 4′ piece of PVC
Then put the sprayer on “mist”
and hang the handle in the other end of the 4′ piece of PVC
Attach the 4′ piece to the 45 degree elbow and turn on the hose.
Finally, just have some nice, cool fun!!
That's a great idea! Now I wish I had a trampoline 🙂
Way to bring the amusement park to your own backyard! GREAT idea! Thanks for linking to Wicked Awesome Wednesday!
Fun idea. Maybe I can do something similar on our mini-tramp.
Very cool! We used to just put our sprinkler under the trampoline. It sprayed up through the bottom very well & the boys loved it.
Great idea! We're planning on buying a trampoline for our boys, who also love to get wet! I'll be filing this idea for when we get the trampoline!
this looks so fun! I want one (but my kids are too little at this pint).
Fabulous idea!
That's such a great idea! What we've done is just put the sprinkler under the trampoline but that version looks a lot more fun!
This is super smart!
We found that we wasted too much water using a sprinkler so we found a flexible misting kit at sams and attached it to the top of the bars. We also wrapped rope lights around the bars for night time jumping. Even though our boys are now in high school it still gets plenty of use by neighbor kids and cousins.
