    When I was searching for some fun new summertime DIY projects, I came across a company that sells dunk tank kits. I figured that if a dunk tank was being sold as a kit you can put together, I could surely DIY it. Spoiler alert: I could and I did, but it required some serious online searching and inspiration, especially because building this style of DIY dunk tank involves a basic understanding of plumbing. (Don’t worry-it’s not too difficult to pick up.)
    This homemade dunk tank is a little different than the dunking booth you may be envisioning-instead of the kind where you sit on a platform that plunges you into the water when the target is hit, you sit on a chair beneath a bucket that dumps water on you when the target is hit.
    The easiest way to explain how this works, especially because we’re using plumbing materials today, is that it works like a toilet. When you hit the target, it’s like flushing-the arm of the dunk tank pulls up the string that’s attached to the flapper at the bottom of the bucket, which then opens and dumps water through the hole at the bottom. As soon as that happens, the bucket automatically fills up with just the right amount of water thanks to the float valve-just like a toilet! It’s helpful to have that context before we get started.

    Perfect hobby in times of quarantine imposed by the covid-19.

    Projects like this should always start with a supply list and measurements. Tell people what they need before just assembling things.

    They showed the finished project for less than 3 seconds and that thing looked flimsy as hell.

    I was expecting a real dunk tank that holds gallons of water.
