The best children's water attractions for the garden

Not only adults, but also children love to spend time at the dacha. And therefore, we must come up with something very fun and interesting for the kids, so that they are captivated and do not disturb their fathers and mothers. There is a proposal to install water attractions at the dacha.

It just so happens that everything for children is too expensive. Children's clothing, toys, sports equipment - all this is difficult to buy, and therefore we try to choose either budget items or make them ourselves.

Regarding water attractions for the dacha, the price here is generally exorbitant. One has only to look at manufacturers' offers for the simplest inflatable pools to be convinced of this. But we will definitely be able to quickly and inexpensively assemble unique buildings for the little hooligans, and perhaps even a small water park in the country to provide them with a good and fun holiday.

Precautions: which water attractions are dangerous

At first glance, it may seem that this is not the best start for a review of our homemade products. However, we simply have to warn you about what can be dangerous in water facilities. By avoiding as much as possible the materials and elements specified by the site’s experts, as well as following the advice on proper installation, every parent will be able to assemble a water feature that will be absolutely safe for children.

Let's talk about trampolines

A small trampoline will become one of your favorite attractions, especially if it is located above the pool. You can jump alone, play with friends, splash into the water and shower everyone with splashes. But this activity is dangerous for some reasons.

Initially, we would like to draw your attention to non-compliance with the assembly parameters. The use of inexpensive elements and special fittings of poor quality often leads to the fact that the trampoline breaks off under the weight and is scrapped to the side. In addition, there is always the possibility of jumping from a safe area above the water and landing, say, outside the pool or on its side. Unpleasant situations are possible, and therefore it is better to exclude trampolines, especially homemade ones, from the list of attraction elements.

The only completely safe option is an inflatable trampoline with closed end parts, which is installed in the middle of the pool.

About slide safety

• The slide should be light, but firmly installed so that it does not fall on its side due to an overabundance of children on the upper platform.
• You should purchase a slide made of plastic, and the sliding surface should not have protruding fasteners or sharp corners that could cause injury.
• It is very important that the pool slide is of low height, with a safety net on the ladder.

You should know that inflatable slides not only cost less, but are also considered safer.

The most dangerous elements

And, finally, the element that should not be installed on a country water attraction at all is a pipe for descending or swimming, filled with water. There are both plastic and inflatable tubes, which are quite interesting, since they represent a closed space for descent or a small labyrinth. This item is extremely dangerous, so we recommend that you refrain from purchasing it.

You should also always think about quality maintenance of the attraction. Water purification, temperature conditions, acidity and other indicators. For this purpose, today special equipment for swimming pools is purchased, which is very easy to find. But it must be of high quality, and also installed in such a way that children do not have access to it while playing.

Regardless of the fact that water attractions are special structures that can distract kids a little from very busy parents, you need to learn one rule once and for all: never, even if you are very busy, leave children unattended. At least one adult should look after the crowd of urchins, who should be wearing life jackets!

Self-assembly of a water attraction

Many potential buyers are interested in: is it possible to assemble a water attraction with your own hands? Naturally, such a question interests the buyer first of all, because if something is bought in parts, and not as a whole set, then you need to know for sure whether self-assembly will be successful in order to obtain a working water feature. Our experts say that the process is not only real, but also as simple as possible. For the main parts of a country water attraction, which are an inflatable or frame pool, as well as a slide and special equipment, step-by-step instructions and sometimes discs with assembly videos are added to the kit. Therefore, self-installation will definitely work. If you find yourself in a difficult situation, be sure to ask a question in a special section on our website.

Choosing a place to install an attraction for children

Installation of a mini-water park is possible in any corner of the summer cottage, where it will be most convenient. But the best decision would be to follow some advice from professionals:

• Installation of a children's water facility is carried out in immediate visual accessibility, preferably no more than 8-10 meters from the resting place of adults;
• It is advisable to install the water attraction in an open area with good sunlight or in partial shade if the summer is very hot;
• Also think about the need to supply water, discharge it into the sewer or into the garden. This requires close proximity to communications.

The best options for children's water facilities

Today there are a sufficient number of offers, thanks to which the buyer can choose by price, quality, appearance, general purpose, amount of entertainment per building, and so on. But today we will present to you those options that are in greatest demand and at the same time inexpensive. Many of them do not look like a water park and are self-assembled. But it seems to us that these are just the best ideas that most people will like!

Water playground "Summer Rain"

The simplest water feature for a summer residence, which you can easily assemble with your own hands. Compared to slides, pipes, trampolines and other elements, it is not so common, but children really like it!

This attraction is built around a children's inflatable pool. The structure is a complex of pipes, watering cans and nozzles that water the kids with warm water. Installation of elements is possible in any convenient order, due to which water pours from above, from the side and even splashes from below, like a fountain.

For assembly, you will need a set of pipes and nozzles, water pressure regulators, and a pool pump, thanks to which the water will constantly circulate.

It is worth considering the option of some modification of such a water structure. For example, when the structure of pipes and watering cans is installed on a lawn or lawn, and not above a pool. This way, kids can simply run under the streams of water and have fun.

Element “King of the Hill” for the pool

This element is very popular on sea coasts and in water parks, where, as is known, the main visitors to the attraction are adults. But we need something that will help organize safe fun for children, and therefore we can choose a small inflatable structure that will be installed in the middle of the pool. This is necessary to ensure the safety of those “defeated” and thrown from the mountain during such an energetic and interesting competition!

Regular inflatable slide and pool

Similar elements for the construction of large complexes, or in separate form, are sold in many retail outlets. And therefore, it will not be difficult to find a children's water facility of good quality.

The slide is installed separately in the pool, near it, or is already included in a single set. The descent is closer to the middle of the pool, and also away from the sides. The slide is constantly watered to facilitate the descent and minimize injuries, for example, skin burns from friction against the dry surface of the descent.

The water attraction is very interesting and suitable for a crowd of children to use at the same time.

Water ball for children's pool

Almost every person has seen a water balloon and knows exactly how funny it can be when used in a pool.

A person fits into a hollow ball. The ball is then fastened and lowered to the surface of the water. Due to the movements of the person inside, the ball moves chaotically, and the person inside also moves chaotically - falls, stumbles, turns over. In fact, it looks very funny, but the most fun is inside the ball for those who dare to become a participant in this attraction.

There are also water balloons for children's pools. They are very popular among fidgets. Once you let your child inside, it may become his favorite toy.

Mandatory requirements for using a water balloon for a child are the presence of an adult assistant, as well as proper filling of the pool so that the ball does not roll out of the bowl.

Inflatable boats and catamarans for a country water park

Miniature copies of adult boats, bananas, tablets, scooters, and catamarans are also very popular. It can be just an inflatable toy similar to the original, but it should be as close as possible to a real water vehicle, even in terms of functionality.

Children really like these toys, as they not only ride them around the pool, but also write out certain scenarios for their games, imagining themselves as real ship captains.
