Homemade backyard water slide above ground pool
Ойын-сауық
This is my custom homemade 14' water slide going into a 21' above ground pool. The slide itself is a 14' plastic playground slide custom ordered. Slide is attached to my 7' foot high tree house platform (eventually there will be a tree house :) ) and then attached to the 3' high deck before going into the pool. I tried a few different methods for pumping water and the end result works really well IMO. I am running a 2650 gph intex pump and ended up using a modified intex plastic hose exiting on the waste setting of the pump which then connects into 1.5" pvc pipe spanning around the pool to the slide. 2650gph down the slide is plenty sufficient :)

I remember when I was a kid we did this my dad made it, it was super cool we took the slide off the playground and built up a ladder and platform about 15 feet of the ground and it was super fun glad to see you think of fun.
Hi! Please can you tell me what kind of plastic you used and where you bought the plastic for the slide?

Seriously!
I'm planning a similar slide for our pool. Think it's 100% safer going to tube route than a traditional slide !!! Much less likely for any injuries. I purchased a discontinued 9' rainbow scoop slide from a dealer for $100! Very similar look and I love the idea of the scoop, I have to really think about angle of slide so kids or adults lol will be given a little kick up at end of slide . Less likely to hit bottom of pool with feet. Thank you for sharing this!!!
What a fun Dad! Kudos!
thanks for the info! ot looks awesome and FUN!
I wish I had a waterside like this. Lol nice job.
*Wow!!! I liked your video!*
awesome nice job dude
Watch out for them ‘bolt heads’ protruding inward from the legs ! That could hurt !
What is the flow rate of the hose? We’re building a giant water slide and I was wondering what size pvc pipe we should use on our slide.
I need this for my pool

Do you have any problems leaving your pump in backwash mode?

Abby Walsman I don’t use backwash I go straight to “waste” no problems
How has the waste connection work for you? I mean, any issues?

Works great, just started the 3rd season using it. No issues just have to disconnect it when i want to back wash and then reattach.

Great job and great ideas! Thanks for replying.
nice idea, but why not just split your return and use that instead...similar to a sprinkler system...

It was from this website www.detailedplaypro.com/playground-slides.htm but they dont show the half slides anymore.
Did you buy a tube and cut it in half ?
