- It's been a hot, dry summer... So what better way to cool down than with 20 gallons of water aggressively pouring on your head? I made this DIY backyard waterpark / splash pad and filmed every step of the way. Great backyard build for dads or grandpas.
Compete with a tipping bucket, floor jets, mister wall, DIY PVC water gun, tube water slide, rope tunnel, sandbox and rock wall. Budget was about $2500 USD with all new pieces.
Plans: Coming soon!

What a brilliant build! The "Uncle of the Year Award" will definitely come your way, Drew. Not only for building this dream but also for playing along.
Thanks Arjan!

my daughter is 8 years old, non-verbal autistic, and she is fascinated by water and slides. so im for sure going to be doing some version of this for her to play with for many years. nicely done
It’s strange how I know I’m never going to build any of this stuff but still really love watching these videos.
Same
Same
Yes, I think so too.
Same here
Nooooooooolllni hate him
I always thought about building my kids their own play structure, but you took it to a whole other level. Amazing.
Thanks! It was a bit more of a challenge than I originally thought it was going to be
This is your sign to build it !
This is your sighn to biuld

Absolutely EPIC. Do more home projects please!
I love your videos man it gives me memories from 2020
@0px1_VR Bro why did you copy polatkamber3413's comment? /:
@0px1_VR oh sorry
Your nieces and nephews are very lucky to have you as their uncle! This is awesome!
What you did for your nieces and nephews is absolutely amazing. The world needs more people like you Drew! Thanks for your awesome how to videos.
I would so hire you to build this in our backyard!! This would turn Florida's summer heat into a breeze.
Book the flight and I’m there! Winters coming soon up here haha
@@DrewBuildsStuff I'll book the flights and buy the material and put you up somewhere, we can sell them for $10k a pop and split the profit. Do you think you can do 20 in one month full time?
You should put a crossbeam with the plastic corrugated facing 45 degrees against the drop roof so that the bucket water gets angled more downward toward the drop zone instead of mostly in the yard....it will also guarantee the splash zone regardless of how much is in the bucket so that there's no disappointment of misfire. Looks awesome though!
Good tip! The kids are still getting use to it so maybe once they are ready for more water on them I will add that.
I’m just in pure awe of your deep love and consideration for your nephews and niece! I’m an Aunt of many so this hit close to home for me. Btw thank you for the detail in installing pex piping and the fittings and how you applied it to multiple water features. You literally built a water park, it’s amazing and functions so well it’s impressive and I look forward to more projects
One of the coolest channels on TH-cam. Guy is a kid at heart and his smile is worth a million dollars. Thanks Drew! This video made me remember my Brother and I playing in the front yard just running through the sprinkler and it was the best thing in the world at the time. Thank you, from the little kid named Ralph and his lil' Brother Mark that lived at 4509 Swiss Ave, Dallas Texas, late 1970's, hot summer day, in our front yard.
How cool is that for you to bring JOY to your family and friends….
You’re the sweetest ever. So glad TH-cam helps support your endeavors.
Keep up the amazing work. The TH-cam algorithm gods will enjoy this and you'll be at a million subs in no time.
Optinistic but he does deserve it more than a lot of people on the site that already have a million or more
Thanks! It may take 20 years but I’ll get there haha
Yes I agree that he is amazing
@@DrewBuildsStuff omg hi
I hope you love making these videos as much as we love watching them. Lately, I feel like a lot of the DIY people I’ve watched for years are starting to get away from what made their channel so lovable to begin with. You, good sir, are making a lot of the stuff that people want to see and you’re doing it very cinematically. I truly hope you keep making things! Hopefully once a week in the near future…??? 😂
The fact that he did it himself is amazing I could never believe that one man can really can do anything they can do. And also a water park in a backyard! Is crazy my dad’s an iron worker and he can’t even do that mod job drew I wish I can come. But I can’t keep it up drew your a great engineer better then my dad your kids will love it drew!!!
Keep it up!
I've seen quite a few underrated channels before, but this tops all of them. I can't believe you aren't in the millions! You've caught the attention of an adolescent boy, that's one feat to accomplish. Amazing work, and great video! You've absolutely earned a subscriber.
I have to agree, this channel is way under subbed.
Look at that Drew, you got a boomer to agree with gen Z, another feat! I guess I'd better sub too. 👴
(wow that is one ugly old-fogey emoji. lol)
Wow ❤️ those cute kids are so proud that they got a dad who knows to build what's better them for summer🥰🥰 . I Really appreciate your hard work n time n effort u spent on it. I hope your Channel reach more views for such incredible stuffs.
Greetings from Kerala , 🇮🇳
He’s the uncle of those children not the father
@@kevinthekid9623 ok thanks a lot for info 🙏
Cool
Great summer playground for the kiddos, outside playing with each other, Great memories 😀
This channel is going to blow up to something insane. Enjoy the journey dude.
If you wanted to, you could put lights inside the water slide so it won’t be so dark at night
I swear to god Drew your builds are the most incredible, detailed and skilled builds I've ever seen on this platform! Hope your channel goes viral soon, you'll deserve every earned penny!
Thanks Harry! Appreciate it 🙂
everybody needs a dad like this. its sad to see some kids without one
Wow dude all I could think of during the video was wow mom better have an extra special present for this dad after he's done. Now to find out that you are the uncle and you just did it out of love for your nephew and nieces, man you a special uncle dude. Those kids are lucky to have an uncle like you!
Oh, the memories that your adorable children are going to have in that backyard on what you have built!!! Such a cool (literally and figuratively) build...thanks so much for sharing.
You did so good you work so hard for your kids god bless you and your family
Ви ЧУДОВИЙ Батько!!!! Майстер з великої літери!!!! НЕПОВТОРНИЙ!!!! Щастя вам і вашій Родині!!!!!
You are the coolest dad/uncle/brother/godfather/friend EVER! Love it!
I'm so impressed with people who build stuff. The focus and commitment inspire me.
I’ve been watching your videos ever since I was little. I always use my family’s tv to binge watch your old videos! Right now I am checking back to realize that you’ve reached 100k! Can’t wait for your silver play button unboxing video! It is really inspiring how you go through hours of back pain and work to make a pool for your kids!! I’m gonna finish watching the video later, but great job!! 👏
I would cover up al exposed bolts with a plastic bolt cover. That way you can't scratch yourself. For example at the slide entrance.
Drew looks absolutly great, bet the kids find it so much fun, only worry would be the bolt heads on the base of the waterslide, what about silicone on a piece of lenghways cut in half pex over all the heads to ensure total safety from accident. Again Drew fantastic creation for the kids
imagine being this dude’s kids. awesome life
No kids for me. A lot of nieces and nephews 😜
There is nothing more *wooh* in this world than a man who has construction/building skills!
you are such a kind dad, your kids are lucky to have you😊
I really love your videos, since you do voiceovers so much more. Your voice is just so soft and somehow loving(?) It makes me feel like you love doing what you are doing and not just for the money and fame. I know that's exactly what it is, but i mean... I don't know how to describe it. But your love for the things you do mirrors in your voice somehow. It's just... very calming. Thank you.
I think this needs a pool so the water doesn't go to waste
I see that happening as an expansion, likely cannablise some large pool for the base to fit it all in
I don't have any children but I think one of best things in life is a childs laugh and smile. Love your videos.
You are my dream dude. 😍😘❤️ Love this and your adventurous nature. What a fun uncle you are and your family seems very close and loving.
Absolutely amazing.!!! You should really win the Uncle of the Year award... especially with the weather temps hitting all highs this summer...Been enjoying all the vids.. be looking forward to your e-bikemobile rambling the roads... many thanks..👍👌
Thank you! I have a couple ebike camper videos in the works!
@@DrewBuildsStuff Great, be looking out for them
I watch a lot of these videos of people building stuff, and very few ever tell us what they are doing and why they are doing something a certain way. You, sir, are a welcome exception. You explain almost every inch of what you are doing, why this way or that way, and what something is for. Why can't they all do that? (grins)
Skills put in action
As the founder of the UOTY award program, I want to start off by thanking all of our 2022 nominees. You have all played uncle role perfectly, and made the lives of so many nieces and nephews more enjoyable, with your positive influence and great examples. As far as I’m concerned, you are all winners.
Please join me at this time as I announce the winner of the 2022 Uncle Of The Year Award.
This years winner is none other than, Drew at Drew Builds Stuff 🏆
I built a playground for my 3 grandchildren,I have the slides,the 2 towers,I couldn't figure out when there on the 2 nd level it's closed off and nowhere to go,until now I'm going to adapt what you have done to my playground😊,I love the gun idea great build.
You are definitely in the running for uncle of the year award!
Great job. I always look at these things like this, even if something will cost me to build something the same amount as store bought, at least i build the way i want to, not bought generically build like what others have. Im sure kids appreciate it more also knowing you tried and built it your self.
Now you just have to build a beach pool/pond and you will be the coolest uncle Drew ever. 😊
i hope u would reach 1 million subscribers soon 🥰
That came out awesome keep up the great job I wish I was a kid again I enjoy all your videos so far keep doing what you do God bless you 🙏
Thank you jerry!
Imagine how lucky his kids are, their dad literally can build them anything they desire 😍😍 and showing them, they will learn from him and make greater works of art
those are his nieces & nephews. no kids for him. But I know if he ends up having kids, they’ll be incredibly lucky to have him as their dad
You are a great father and Uncle for building your private little waterpark. The kids will have a lot of fun with it and it will be a good way to cool off when it's hot. It must have taken a lot of planning to buy all the different parts, pipe and fittings to make it all work. Looks like everyone had a blast trying it out.
It's not even a water park lmao
Thanks Ben! It was a lot of work and had a lot more challenges than I thought it would have
Carry on choco, billions of other videos for your to comment on
Fr though😊
This is such a great idea, you should add the whole thing onto a substructure (another deck) and make a sump, with a pump and filter that can fill a holding tank that's like a water tower for pressure and for water conservation.
Ya that’s a good idea! The kids so far don’t love the water being dumped so don’t think it’ll get used very much. Something to add for the future though
@@DrewBuildsStuff ya a water tower to replace the bucket would be a simple fix :D
I would put that in a 6 inch deep pool and connect the pump to the park. Genius idea!
Such a great father, I am so happy seeing your kids haply playing around !!
He is uncle
What a brilliant idea! We're watching ur video right here in the Philippines..I enjoy it a lot..god bless u sir !
It was always nice to kids playing with something you built !!🥰🥰
Bro this is such an excellent build you blessed you nieces and nephews so much. Such a professional and high quality build it’s awesome
I love this unique idea, so keep putting out great content, we all love it! Thanks!
Nice work dude! You're incredibly underrated, wished youd get more recognition
Thanks Daniel!
Your kiddos are lucky to have you 😜
Cover the exposed Pex if you want it to last. Pex does not stand up to UV. Sunlight completely deteriorates it. I learned this lesson the hard way thinking I was upgrading my boat dock plumbing but just the reflecting sunlight off the water up under the dock was enough to ruin it all. some fun noodle or pipe insulatione or even just a little shroud will save you repairs in the very near future.
at the end of the video i went to look at the comments and i saw it only has 38k views! this definitely deserves millions this is amazing
It’s been a slow starter. New channel though so maybe it will pick up some views later. Thanks for watching!
Wow... you are really something... I really appreciate all the details and generosity.
This is amazing, you build an awesome water park!!!! The reward is your, definitely best uncle or the year!!!!! I would love to see you in your swimming shorts there, I'm sure there would be some other reward for you... Best Mister of the home beach perhaps? 😉👌♥️
YOUR SOOOO CREATIVE & YOU HAVE A TALENT THAT IS INCREDIBLE❣️❣️❣️🙏🏼🫶🏼🙏🏼WISHING YOU ALL THE VERY BEST❣️❣️❣️🙏🏼❤️🇨🇦🫶🏼🥰🥰🥰👍🏼
Best dad award goes to this guy! Anybody else aspire to be an amazing dad! Can’t wait
Your a great uncle and gonna be the best father one day!!! 🤘🏼💗
NOICE
Sensacional! Aí está a verdadeira infância de uma criança e não em telas de celular. Parabéns
This is literally every kids dream… including me!
This is absolutely incredible!,your kids must been very lucky to have such a great dad’s like you.
Ikr
Drew made everyones childhood dream
From Sweden, you give a big thumbs up for being so skilled in your videos. Have been impressed by how you show/film until I directly become interested in starting a TH-cam channel myself, & doing what I'm good at. Your videos, . really beautiful. /must say, you dog house, you caught my daughter until we are at it now 😗... Big fan of you.
Man I love this! I’m so happy that your kids were very happy and they were grateful!
Never again will your kids say "I'm Board", every day of the summer holidays they'll have entertainment in the garden. Plus you'll always know where they are. Happy days. Thanks for sharing (New Subscriber)
Thanks Brian! My brothers kids but yes they are always entertained when they come over
Man oh man this channel always manages to relax me! :) Also LOVE working on stuff like this my parents raised me and my sisters to just do our own handiwork!
Thanks for watching! 😊
this brings joy to know that you did all this for your kids
Omg I’m so jealous 😅my grandchildren would love this awesome job they’re loving it 😊
you really took DIY to a new level, so cool and fun!
Great idea. The kids seemed to love it. Well done.
I honestly love whenever you post its so relaxing
Your kids will remember this for ever man me all that time you put into this pretty amazing
This is how many people think this should go viral!
⤵️
1 so far haha
I just smiled the entire time watching this.
When I built my dumping bucket I had the same problem. I fixed it with putting a horshoe in the bucket and super glueing it down. I still have problems but I put a water launch or a peice of wood to make the water shoot farther to catch the horshoe incase it would fall.
What a build and this video brings me a idea what if i make a waterslide of my tree house ❤❤
What can I say! He is brilliant! Wonderful video! Thank you!
This is GENIUS!! YOUR THE MAN!! I want to do this for my children
I’ll be in contact when it’s time
You can do it! 👍
Totally stealing the PVC water gun idea! Thanks for doing the hard problem solving! Great design and execution . . . On all of it.
so cool as in the winter can use it with out the water
Amazing work! What joy
That's insane! Looks great, good job! Would have loved this thing as a kid! ^^
Brilliant! My kids would have loved that when they were smaller.
You're awesome Bro 🙌🙏♥️ great work and gifted and talented 🙂
You get my vote for "Uncle of the year" for this feat.
Talented guy and beautiful family keep going
I could watch all your videos and still not be bored!
AWESOME!! Keep the vids coming Drew.
It is said hobbies should bring you joy. I have found there are few greater joys than the sound of children laughing while they play. So that’s at least two things worth going over budget. 😁
Always good when you post
