![]() ![]() Except for the SuperSlide Inflatable Pool Slide, there are no above ground pool slides made for above ground pools. Above-Ground Pool SlidesĪll swimming pool slides are meant for installation on in-ground pools with concrete decks or pads for mounting. See the More Info tab on each pool slide page to view installation manual for full instructions. ![]() Connect your water supply with pipe or hose, and you are ready to slide. After positioning the slide, mark the holes and drill holes for the anchor bolts. After slide assembly, move it into position and take careful measurements to meet installation placement requirements. Slide legs and ladders can be installed directly in new concrete, or you can use surface mount slide leg anchors bolted to the concrete with heavy steel lags included. Pool slide installation is an easy weekend project of assembling the slide and bolting slide leg anchors to the concrete pool deck. See the More Info tab on each pool slide page to view current slide dimensions and slide footprint. However, depending on how you angle the slide to the pool, more or less deck space is required. Because pool water slides are curved and not straight, a larger area may be needed to mount a pool slide to the deck. Some pool slides like the Typhoon Slide, can be installed in pool decks only 4 ft wide, but for pools with smaller concrete pool decks, an enlarged deck or external footer pads are needed to mount the slide legs, while allowing access to the ladder and passage around the slide, without stepping off the pool deck. Read the pool slide owner's manual, spec sheets and installation guides carefully to fully understand the pool slide safety envelope and water depth for pool slides. This 'safety envelope' area or space of 13'-6" x 7' x 42" must not intersect with a diving board safety envelope, or the pool safety line. This 42" minimum depth must continue forward in an area that is 13'-6" long and 7' wide minimum. This depth must increase to 42" at a distance less than 4'-6" from the pool wall. The runway surface must overhang the pool by 3" at a water depth of no less than 36". There are some general guidelines for pool slide water depth requirements. ![]() ![]() In-ground pool slides also have a direction of curve (left or right), and several color choices. Good access to water for the slide, which comes from the filter system or from the house supply, can also be a factor to consider. For most pools, there are only a few possible locations for installing a pool slide areas with proper water depth, and enough deck space to install the slide. Most pool slides are placed on the opposite side of the house, or on the far side or one end of the pool, so that you can see sliders from the house, but that is not the most important requirement.
