I looked around, maybe not enough (my computers f-ed up and internet is slow), but I did on this forum for step by step instructions and materials needed... Can anybody help me out with a list of materials needed and step by step instructions?

Go to my website www.buildasnowgun.50megs.com click on the tee gun diagram link on the left hand side of the page and you will see the plans for the internal mix tee gun plans that jason used.

Generally, how much does it cost for one of the smaller guns, and also for the big one that you have. You guys ganna be selling them anytime soon? I'm way too not smart to make one.

Carl,

First and foremost, you need an air compressor. If you have one, great, if you dont and want to make snow, buy one. There is a post i made called 'Air Compressors'. It explains what your air compressor need to put out (air) in order to blow snow. So if you have a compressor, i'd check that post and see if it will work. If you dont, that's a great place to look if your planning on buying one. I posted the exact picture and website of my compressor i bought. It's a little over 100 bucks but will put out lots of snow. It's a great compressor. So, start there, then once you have that done, we'll go from there.

Yeah Jason, I have an air compressor; well actually my friend has an air compressor, but we'll do this together im sure. First off does it need to be any special PSI or something? I think its a pretty big one.

I know that it can go above 90 PSI, and I imagine that it can go above 4 CFM(SCFM) as well. OK, so am I in pretty good shape?

If you already have an air compressor all that you need now is a gun. The Tee gun that we built only cost about 40 dollars.

Is it hard to put together, or relatively simple?

Here is a picture that will hopefully help you understand the individual components of a T gun.

It's VERY simple to put together. Sounds like your compressor is good.


make sure to put teflon tape on all of the fittings when you go to screw them together. This is KEY.

Hey Jason, and Kevin I think your name is - Thanks for being patient with me, I really want to make this thing so bad. I just built a 10 foot tall roll in and I want to use it bad.

Do you think they'll make enough snow to build a jump up to a rail?

Hey dynastartwin,

I saw you posted a message above asking if I sale a snow gun.

I also have a y gun which it very much like the tee gun and works just as well that I will send you for $40. no longer use it because I always run my bigger ones now.

Yes, I will build you a tee gun for $50.

Or the lager external mix snow gun for $170

Or a combo gun that runs two high pressure mister
and a tee gun for $120.

But it is easier if you just build a tee gun.
