We built this sprinkler mister house for our kids a couple years ago. Great for kids and tall enough for growing children/teens, and adults. We created it so that it could be taken apart and put away for the winter.
Here’s a picture of the base of the PVC pipe house base.
All pipes are 37″ with the exception of the pipe with the hose attachment on it. That pipe is 32″ on one side, tee fitting, and then 4″ on the other side to center.
All corners have elbow fittings
Center has 2 tee fittings
Next we built up. The 4 corners are 37″ high, and the long pvc across on either side measures 74″. Use tee fittings to connect the bottom, middle, and top pvc pipes together.
The top stretch the pvc pipe measures 47″ on all 4 corners.
The top is a copy of the bottom set up with the exception there is not faucet up there so all PVC pipes are 37″ long.
Here is what it looks like completed.
Next you drill holes where you want them to be on your house.
We drilled a total of 10 holes.
2 holes in the 3 pvc pipes across the top
2 holes in the middle of the long middle bars on the sides
2 holes on opposite sides and opposite ends of the base.
Place mister emitters in the holes.
Use noodles, sponges, fly swatters, and rope to decorate your mister house.
Here is what it looked like when we were all done. We did later decide to add 4 more noodles to the top to hold the rope in place.
We opted to not glue the PVC house together. We used a rubber mallet to solidify the pieces into place. Turn the water on slowly and it’ll begin misting. It doesn’t take a lot of water.
My kids are 16 & 12 and still use it today. We invited some friends over to come play in it with us.

Oh this looks like so much fun!
Thank you Linda 🙂 I get in on the action too after gardening and lawn work – lol.
That is EPIC! I wish we had a yard to use this in ;_: Working on it, pinning this to come back to then 😉
Thank you so much Marissa and thanks for the Pin. We do love it and I have been known to get in on the action too 🙂
That is genius!!
Thank you so much Tamar. We truly love it.
Fantastic! I love how you’ve designed it – for little people and not-so-little people can all enjoy the fun. pinning!
Thank you so much. You totally got it too as we wanted it to grow with our kids. I have been known to jump in there too on occasion – especially after yard work on a hot summer day. Thanks for the Pin.
What fun! I need this for me in the hot summer!!!!!!!
Me too! 🙂 I totally use it, especially after gardening and yard work. I think I might just put a chair in the middle of it and sip on my lemonade!
My kids, even my too cool nine year old, would definitely be caught playing in this mister. We live in Arizona so anything we can do to cool ourselves down is welcome! Visiting from Happiness Is Homemade.
Thanks so much Victoria. My kids are 13 & 17 as well as their friends are still excited to get it out every summer. We put the slip and slide following it… they have fun for hours.
What a great idea for hot summer days! I would’ve loved this as a kid – pinning so I can remember to make one for my daughter in a few years 🙂 Thanks for sharing at Merry Monday; I’ll be featuring your DIY mister house at this week’s party. We’d love to have you link up again!
Thank you so much Emily. I’m so excited you are interested in making one as well and thank you for the feature. I’ll see you this week at the party.
This looks amazing, so much fun!
Thanks Julie 🙂
