Lana July 28, 2011 at 12:48 pm: I see a project for Poppa to make for the grandchildren!
Russ July 28, 2011 at 1:00 pm: Thanks…this just gave me a good idea on how to ‘fix’ the slip-and-slide that popped after 2 uses.
Deborah Golden July 28, 2011 at 1:22 pm: Lol, I love that picture ! A very menacing Big Wheel gang ! That is a great idea, that would keep them entertained for hours !
Amanda July 28, 2011 at 3:24 pm: that’s a great idea!
Elias July 28, 2011 at 4:07 pm: Love this idea and we have tons of pvc piping in the garage left over from out Halloween spider web we made (with lights). I see a new project in our future!
maggie@maggieandthenuts July 28, 2011 at 5:58 pm: I made one of these earlier in the summer and didn’t wait long enough for the pvc cement to dry. I ended up cementing the hose to the pipe. I did learn how to put a new adapter on a hose, so I felt like it was a learning experience.
Amanda July 28, 2011 at 9:09 pm: My husband made something similar last summer but he added a few more “arches” and we call it a car wash. My 4 year old son and his friends love it.
Amie July 29, 2011 at 12:34 am: My husband and my boys made this a few years ago and they all love it!! Still working great!! There are a lot of great ideas at http://www.instructables.com My husband and boys actually submitted a project for a lego table out of pvc pipe as well. http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-a-Lego-table-out-of-PVC-pipe/
