Any Idea Where I Can Find This Giant Slide?

[Max]

Or something very similar? I'm only finding smaller 10' ones.

Also wondering if the enclosed tube type would be better than the open one?

I would think so (less direct sun heating up the slide part, less chance of tumbling out) except then children are out of sight while in the tube and I don't like that idea at all.

I doubt a slide like that would be allowed if you are licensed. Insurance might not cover it either, looks pretty dangerous.

I plan to ask ahead and see. We've been to this park and kids can't get much speed at all on this slide. I think it would be just as dangerous as falling down the hill itself which I can't change about my yard.

So your set up includes a hill as well? I was picturing the slide without the hill as being very high.

Yeah we have a huge hill that is the only way to access the large flat area of our yard (we have a really weird yard). Plus it's full of mole tunnels making it super uneven and sketchy to walk down.

I couldn't imagine having a slide this big without a hill to put it on!

No clue about insurance but OP is in MN and our state is pretty mellow/relaxed about playground rules and equipment.

Thanks, I'll check those out! You're right on the price... commercial sellers especially are super $$$ I try to DIY whenever reasonable but unfortunately I don't think this is one of those times!

When I went to one of those links an ad popped up for a zip line :: :: Now THAT is something I should consider instead (kidding of course )

Um...I bought a zip line. Lol, it's just for my kids but I had to!

If its at a local park I would just call the parks department. It may take a few times of explaining what you want, and getting transferred more than once... but somebody ordered it, they should be able to tell you where.

My DH and I bought one. For ourselves.

Target sells them and we just happen to see one on clearance for CHEAP and we have the property to have one so we bought it. ! ::

This is the one we bought: http://www.target.com/p/b4-adventure...t/-/A-21446503


Target sells slack line kits too for kids... starter kids and more advanced ones...looks like fun!

What?! I'm coming over to play. ::

We have a zip line, the kids LOVE it. It's 100ft. Right now it's just from tree to tree but the plan in spring is to go from tree house to tree house.

It looks commercial. OUCH$$$ GREAT solution for the long hill going down, but how are you getting back up? (I think built in steps, with rock wall hand/foot holds and a knotted rope would be AWESOME.)

Okay!

BYOB and we've got the rest!! happyface

My petite daughter (6 years old) went down a slide like that this past summer. She was bouncing side to side and hitting her head on the sides. What ages would this be for?
