Slippery Slide

[tuky]

I am looking to either buy, or make a slippery slide, slip n slide, slippery dip for my daughters.

Does anyone know where I can buy one? or perhaps the materials to buy one? I am guessing to make one I would just need a 10m x 2m sheet of plastic.

Does anyone have any advice? or locations where I can buy the materials?

Try contacting the Warehouse in NZ.

I've seen them there before just to get a price and you can be near sure they are made in Asia.

Or 2 long sheets heat sealed with a hose connecton. small holes for lubricating water.

We used to throw t-pol on ours as kids.

Got make sure good grassy area,

One of these awning guys might get the ide remember to put a proper hose connecter topcorner so water runs out of holes and down slide.

Great fun.

Could be a new market

Good Luck Tuky

We had one and then a bit later a different corrugated version came out with a pool at the top.

Same growing up in WA I know it sounds ridiculous but sometimes it was to hot to go to the beach

(Burning hot sand)

Just such great fun and I really can't remember anyone getting really hurt

I was also going to suggest you buy the stuff at a local shop where they make awnings.

Pour a bottle of baby oil on it and plant a lawn sprinkler near to it, the kind that goes "psst psst psst psst psst psst psst psst pst pst psst psst psst psst psst psst prstrstrstrstrstrst psst psst psst psst psst psst pst ""

Don't spill the Chang!

Not sure how the baby oil will effect the lawn?

and not trying to be arguementative but the "flit flit flit flit flit flit rrrrrrrrrRRRRP flit flit flit flit flit flit rrrrrrrrRRRRRP flit flit flit flit flit flit " sprinkler might best for this situation.

For the slide you showed in your picture;

A roll of plastic, just cut off what you need.

Some diluted soap or washing liquid.

A hose or lots of buckets of water.

Rolls come in 100m length, so you can have a lot of fun.

The detergent or soap will not affect the grass, most are so similar to fertilizer that it will help the grass. This acts as the lubricant for the kids. At the end of games just hose them off, no need to wash that night.

If you want to get creative, something that increases the slope will make for more noise from the kids at the expence of higher blood pressure for parents.

Just be carefull when pegging the plastic sheet out.

Supervision recomended, just show the kids too many tricks too soon.

See you do need the sprinkler now.

So do we all get an invite to have a slide?

[tuky]

It is bikinis only though Prof. And brit tells me you look aweful in a bikini so your not invited.

I was thinking some lengths of 1/2 inch poly pipe down each side to A) hold the form of the slide and attach a hose and use the pipe to make rain. The detergent comment is spot on, as it will break the surface tersnion of the dirt and let the water soak into the lawn.

[ProfessorFart]

I'll look better than Brit and thats no mistake Tuky!

mate of mine made one out of "Forticon" (the black or orange stuff they put under the steel in a concrete pour)

so anyone pouring a slab around the area go ask mate
