DIY Pool Coolers

This Floating Cooler Can Be Made for Less Than $10

This DIY pool cooler by The Kitchn is an inexpensive and easy alternative to store-bought floating devices.

The only thing better than floating around in a pool on a hot summer's day is floating around in a pool with a refreshing beverage. This DIY cooler ensures one will never have to stray too far from their water-based lounger. Both simple to assemble and cost-effective, this floating device can be made from materials any pool owner has laying around their shed. The design features a plastic storage container with sliced pool noodles fastened to its sides. The device can then be filled with all the beverages needed for a day of relaxation.

This pool accessory serves as the perfect alternative to ensure your next pool party is a splash.
