You most likely have seen those fun and colorful pool noodles in public swimming pools or perhaps your kids have some of them. But do you know that these foam toys can even be more fun and useful around your house? Just with a few tweaks and they can help make your life more convenient. Here are the four awesome life hacks you can try with these beautiful toys.
#1. Cushion for your cargo rack
If you just purchased an SUV or want to protect the luggage rack of your old car from getting ugly scratches, simply cover the bars with pool noodles. All you have to do is to slit them on a side and tape them on together. The foam will not just protect your rack but also keep your luggage and other cargo from creating an irritating sound while you drive.
#2. Mowing comfort
Even if you are fond of mowing the lawn, the vibration caused by the mower handle can be so inconvenient which can trigger arthritis in your hands. You can avoid this by just covering a piece of a pool noodle over the mower handle. You will be delighted to know how comfortable it will be to mow the grass and your hands won’t be hurt anymore after you’re done mowing.
#3. Guard over trampoline springs
Though your kids enjoy jumping on the trampoline you just installed at your backyard, accidents and injuries can still happen anytime. The most common are fingers being pinched on the springs. You can prevent this by using pool noodles as cover for each of those springs. Just slit them with the same length as the spring and your children will even love playing with those colorful foams around them.
#4. Fishing rod organizer
If you are a fishing enthusiast who loves to go fishing with rods, then a pool noodle would be one of your best buddies. It can make your rods stay organized and easy to use. Just make holes with a one-inch diameter in a PVC pipe while giving each hole enough space where the fishing rod can be placed. Just make slits in the foam with the same spacing where you can then insert the rods. It will give you a great display of your fishing gear tangle-free.
