DIY Slip and Slide EASY, 100 feet long!
Amazon Link to the 100x10 ft plastic: amzn.to/2BQ96fd
Don't waste money buying a cheap $30 20 foot slip and slide from Target. Spend $20 more and get a 100 foot long, much more durable piece of plastic and make on yourself that will last all summer long and is so much more fun!
0:13 Find a good place for a slip and slide
0:22 Get yourself a piece of plastic
0:42 Pick up debris (rocks, sticks, dog poop, etc)
0:52 Deploy plastic!
1:18 Run water and adjust
1:52 Put baby soap in dispenser
2:19 ENJOY ALL SUMMER LONG!
I've set this up 3 times so far. Some takeaways:
1-Longer the better
2-Soapier the better
3-Watery the better
4-Get white plastic (stuff I got is color of milk jug), second choice black, last resort if you want to kill grass is clear plastic
5-Buy some pool toys, huge fun bonus!
6-Add a kiddie pool in the end, make for a big fun splash finale!

Appreciate the great DETAILED lessons learned! Got a growing 6 MIL or better, 100 feet or more vision for our Jesus camp! Many thanks!
I love the idea of the kiddy pool at the end to slow down.
Love it! Kids will remember that forever 👍🏼

what’s the grass look like after?
@kove
Жыл бұрын
It depended on the day's temp, amount of sunlight and how long we ran it. After doing it about 10 times, I don't go longer than 3 hours and try to minimize water use (more soap). It has and will kill cool season grass if left on too long, I think one time I left it on there for 5 or 6 hours. Warm season grass tolerates it much, much more.
I mean the grass won't be killed after just a few hours once a week or so right?
@kove

I'd do it a couple hours every two weeks if using the same spot. Unfortunately I used it all day and killed the entire strip.
