Step 1. Measure the rope around the plastic bin and cut the appropriate length.  You'll need enough to go around the entire plastic bin and to make a loop on one end so that the bin can be pulled around the pool easily.

Step 2. Cut a pool noodle so that it can go around the entire plastic bin.  You can use a serrated knife to easily do this.

Step 3. You will need 4 individual noodles for the sides of the cooler.

Step 4. String the rope through the pool noodles.

Step 5. Line them up under the lip of the bin.

Step 6. Once the rope has gone through all the noodles, pull tightly.

Step 7. Tie a knot to secure the noodles under the lip of the plastic bin.

Step 8. Tie another knot at the very end of the rope to create a loop at the end of the bin.  This is so that the pool cooler can be easily pulled around the pool.

Step 9. Now, the pool is ready to fill with drinks and use.
