After looking around here for so long, I have realized one thing. You guys are some creative and crafty mother $%^&$S.

I coach a high school lacrosse team here in Texas. Its damn hot here. I am looking to build a way to deliver water to the players during practice without having to fill up multiple bottles and coolers.

I have seen some things on the net about a cart that is pressurized and has hoses to deliver the water. Some have been battery operated.

My question is what would you come up with? I can make a cart out of whatever, that's not the issue, the issue is how to deliver the water and make it beneficial over taking jugs out to the field.

Gracias...

At the risk of oversimplifying, why not a cooler like these?

yeah i dont see why a giant 10 gallon thing wouldnt work. like how far do you have to walk from where youre parking, im assuming at a highschool thing u can probably pull onto the grass pretty close to the field

As an engineer, I'd suggest a hose.

Here is a cart-based solution.

It has a pressurized hose that delivers water...

ChadTower · « **Reply #16 on:** August 23, 2005, 04:52:01 pm »

I did see those jokes and think damn those are awfully close to some hardcore bukakke pics.

It's just a shame that it's not field-hockey... Mmmmmm hosing down sweaty 18-yr old coeds wearing white blouses and short little plaid skirts!

As an alternative, you could always get a case of

Most Fields have a fence. Take a PVC pipe, long, and punch holes in it all the way down and fix it to the fence. Attach a garden hose and let it rip. You will have individual drinking holes for all. YEAH!!!

Sad thing is, my school actually took the above idea to heart.

chrisindfw · « **Reply #20 on:** August 23, 2005, 08:01:11 pm »

Nice ones! Of course I knew what I was doing posting this. I have been around here enough. lol. It takes me a week to get a response to a cabinet building question but this rocks!

Crazy Cooter · « **Reply #21 on:** August 24, 2005, 01:57:05 am »

Get the biggest "portable shower" thing you can find and connect it to a horizontal PVC pipe with twist levers at a dozen spots on it (make sure you use supplies suited for delivering potable water). Raise the bag a couple inches above the spouts & you're set.

Its a wonder we all survived.
