Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Find free material!Dont go spending to much money, the materials are usually out htere for free or somene has thrown them out.I picked up the tank from a freind and the cables and arm mechanism i picked up off some ones front yard. theonly money spent on this project was on the latch witch i bought at home depot for8.00 dollars.

  2. Step 2

    Takes about 2 hours to assemble.I built it in my garage.I used 2 door hinges for the seat and some 2x4s for the frame of the plexi glass.I used the workout benches cushion for the seat,also acts as a safety cushion when they fall in lol.The tank alredy had a drain valve as to drain and clean it.

  3. Step 3

    Can be used for fund raisers!Oh ya dont forget to add ice !Loads of fun , i rased about three hundred dollars on my first day with it and on those hot days everyone loves it!
