Review on Summer Splash Fun: ARTBECK Trampoline Sprinkler, Perfect Outdoor Water Park For Kids by Prince Ruffins

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Good idea that doesn't work in practice

We put this up on our trampoline for our kids, but it has a few major flaws.First, the only thing they give you to attach it to the metal bars that hold up the trampoline net enclosure are zip ties and sticky tape. When using the zip ties, they are either too tight so that they pinch the hose and stop the water from coming out, or they are too loose and when the water is in the hose, it makes the hose heavier and it just falls down to the bottom of the trampoline. So, after one use, the sprinkler and zip ties just slid all the way down and we would have to basically reinstall the entire thing if we wanted it to work properly again.Second, it's really just a hose with holes poked in one side to spray the water out. The problem is that when you're installing it or using it, the holes don't always point in the same direction as the trampoline so you're supposed to use the sticky tape to control the direction. You think it would be obvious, but applying sticky tape to metal and adding water make the tape useless. Plus, when you add in the problem with the zip ties i mentioned earlier, the holes turn when the sprinkler slides down the trampoline.It looked cool and the kids loved it for the 10 minutes it stayed up. Would not recommend buying this product. Just stick with the regular sprinkler under the trampoline, that's my advice.
