My kids love the car wash. I don’t know if it’s the sound of massive mops whacking the windows or the giant bubbles, but it’s always a real treat for the whole family. So when I came across some videos on PVC pipe car wash run-through sprinklers, I knew it would be a perfect project to do with the kids.
One caveat: I didn’t want to spend a lot of money. There are plenty of blow-up sprinklers for kids on the market they can run under. I wanted to create with a sprinkler that could be made quickly, packed up easily and reinvented every summer with different attachments, all for less than $30. Here’s what I came up with.
Project Overview
Cutting List
| KEY | QTY. | PART | DIMENSIONS |
| A | 2 | Bottom connecting pipes | 3/4 X 60″ |
| B | 4 | Vertical side connecting pipes | 3/4 X 60″ |
| C | 2 | Horizontal top connecting pipes | 3/4 X 30″ |
| D | 1 | Connects tee to female hose adapter | 3/4 X 4″ |
Cut the PVC pipe
- Grab three 10-foot long PVC pipes and use the miter box to cut them in half. This will give you six 60-inch long PVC pipes, which will be your bottom and vertical side pieces (A and B).
- Take the final 10-foot long pipe and cut the PVC pipe into two 30-inch long pieces (C). These will connect the vertical pieces at the top and make the overhang for the car wash.
- Finally, cut a four-inch piece (D) from the leftover pipe for the hose adapter.
