Creating DIY swimming pool floats offers fun and affordable alternatives to store-bought options. Always prioritize safety by testing homemade floaties in shallow water under adult supervision.
PVC Pool Noodle Lounge
- Cut PVC pipes into lengths for a seat frame and attach connectors.
- Secure pool noodles to the frame with zip ties for buoyancy and comfort.
- Test stability by floating in waist-deep water before use.
Recycled Bottle Raft
- Gather clean 2-liter plastic bottles and cap securely.
- Arrange bottles in a grid and bind tightly with rope or netting to form a float.
- Add non-slip fabric or foam padding for extra comfort.
Foam Cushion Float
- Wrap an outdoor pillow or foam block in waterproof fabric sealed with adhesive.
- Attach a pool noodle base using strong tape or zip ties to enhance flotation.
- Limit use to lightweight adults or children in supervised areas.
Essential Tip: Regularly inspect floats for damage and ensure proper buoyancy to prevent hazards.
