Faithr Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 We've never gotten one before. I hate cheapy stuff that breaks right away. Is there a durable brand that takes lots of use and doesn't fall apart? Any recommendations???? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I have no idea, really. But your post reminded me of an end of the year party we had for our jr. highers when I was teaching. It was at this palatial home by the river - tennis courts, beautiful swimming pool, everything. Gorgeous. And you know what the kids were doing? They had this make-shift slip & slide made out of a black plastic tarp on a hill, a garden hose and some dish soap to make it extra slippery. They played on that thing for hours.

Pajama Mama Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 We have a regular Sip N Slide. It's seen two summers so far. It's still in fairly good shape. However, please do not make the mistake that I did. I let kids in their jean shorts use it. The metal of the jeans has put several small rips in the slide. I've patched them and now have a no jean shorts policy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I've hesitated about getting a slip n slide. Are they okay for smaller kids? My girls are 6 and 3. I have visions of them standing on it and then slipping and breaking an arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolly Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Go to the local home improvement store and buy the highest grade plastic sheeting you feel comfortable with. I'd suggest getting the clear, it tends to not kill the grass under it as easily. Add some dish soap onto the belly and have a blast! We make LONG slides.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
