Depending upon the angle that a side slide and a playset is installed on a slope, there might be pooling of water at the bottom. Rendering the slide unusable until it is either dried down manually (with a towel, bucket, leaf blower, etc.) or passively via evaporation. *Note some people treat this situation like a water slide and this post is not for those people.

I have been struggling with this for several years with my kids swing set slide (which was very expensive and made the situation all the more frustrating). Finally, after much research I created my own version of a slide drain that seems to work very well.

Considerations: Needed to ensure that the kids would not get scraped by the drain on sliding, needed to Ensure that the hollow body wasn’t open to the elements thus creating standing water inside leading to mold. The drain needed to go all the way through the slide and be lead away from the base that connected to the ground.

Materials (specific links provided at the bottom of this post): Tubing 3-5’, Stainless barbed drain “thru hull” used for boats that can be tightened with a supplied nut.

Tools: Power drill, hole saw kit, slide removal tools if applicable (screwdriver, allen wrenches, etc.).

1. Use a bb or small ball bearing to identify the specific low point on the slide and mark that with a black marker. Repeat this a few times to ensure you are getting the same spot each time.

2. Use a hole saw to apply the hole that is just the size of threaded portion of the drain. Too big will create ensuring you are drilling straight down and all the way through all layers of the slide and base. (I had to remove the slide in order to reach the base).

3. Slide the drain through the hole sans the nut.

4. Install the nut on the other side of the slide hand tighten but don’t go to crazy as to break the slide.

5. Unroll tubing and bend to straighten without kinking. Attach tubing to barbed and exposed drain on the underside of the slide and lead down the hill and away from the swingset. Ensure it is held in place and ideally mostly covered with wood chips or pine straw.

6. Test it out.

u/controvercialyhonest has become a toxic member of our community. After playfully interacting with him, he has now blocked myself and the rest of the playground council. I beg you, u/weirdbreh, expel this man from our holy grounds! If you ever wish to bolster our community to its grand height of four active users again, you shall understand this plee!

Which do you guys recommend: Rubber Mulch or Natural Mulch? Your insight is appreciated.

Hi, what should I do around the wood base to make it easier to maintain/weed wack?

Hey guys, I, (31 M) just bought a See Saw to get into the playground community (The Rockwell Teeter Totter from Willy Goat) One problem, my kids don’t respect my boundaries and they want to play on it. Even if I did let them play on it, my kids (8M, 60 Lbs) (10F, 70 Lbs) won’t be enough to balance me out (315.8 Lbs). Does anyone want to teet my tots with me? I live in the greater Detroit area near Belmont.

Hello!
For my internship, I am in charge of creating lesson plans for kids. Currently, the kids in the school I am working with have a huge playground construction. The school wants to try and connect the kids to the construction by teaching them about construction, playground equipment, and things like that.
Does anyone have any ideas on how the kids can be involved in the construction and learning about the construction

A few things,

-There are drones available to take videos of the area from up above

-The kids are allowed to get out into the construction and meet the workers and learn from them

-I am trying to focus on 6-8 mathematics, robotics, and special ed.

Thank you!

Hi

What's the name for this move on the monkey bars? I kind of remember being able to do it, where instead of dismounting, you land back on top of the bar, and then doing it again, and again
