What To Consider When Buying A Water Slide

  • Will it fit in my garden? Check the length and width to make sure you have enough lawn for the water slide to lie on.
  • What age range is it suitable for? Most lawn water slides are made for children over the age of 3 and under the age of 12.
  • Will it need a hose attachment? Some garden water slides have a constant flow of water sprinkling on them and will need to be attached to a garden hose.
  • Will it ruin my grass? The weight and pressure of children sliding on the water slide shouldn’t damage your lawn too much. Roll up and store away when not in use.
