The splash pad inflates to a diameter of 64 inches, with a five-inch outer-diameter tube and a 54-inch inner diameter. The water shoots out of holes all around the tube, creating 360 degrees of cooling backyard fun.
There's no need to inflate the splash pad with air, as the water from the hose fills it in seconds.

It's made of proprietary PVC vinyl that's easy to clean and dries in the sun. Plus, the material has been third-party tested to meet or exceed USA Children's Product Safety Standards, so you can rest easy knowing your kids and pets can play for hours without any harm from phthalates, lead or other heavy metals.
The PVC vinyl has been treated to withstand dog paws and environmental debris, but it's always best to inspect the splash pad for any punctures and to clean, dry and put away between uses. That way, you can look forward to splash pad fun all summer long and for many summers to come.
If you needed any more incentive, Bark is hosting a Bark-B-Q Season special offer now through May 30, offering customers a free bag of Salmon Jerky Bar Dog Treats when you add any one-time item to your order. Also, if you spend $35 or more, you'll have your pick of a Corgi Cola XL Toy or a Treat Bundle, just to sweeten the deal.
Get your summer started early with some colorful splash pad fun, and keep cool all season long.
