Swing'n'Slide NE 4701 Summit Slide 2Piece Plastic Scoop Slide for 4' Decks, Blue

Kids love it. It was a little tricky to find the correct hardware to attach to playground. Ace hardware had the screws. The top if slide was not perfectly flat so it took two of us to attach; one to press down firmly but we managed. It does get hot in our summer heat in Arizona.

We used this slide for a bunk bed exit! It IS FAST, as others mention. The holes lined up properly, which some complained about. The bolts were a bit short, but we just did the ones we could, left a few washers out of some, and went back and added them once everything was together and tight. My 17 & 18 year olds both tested it a few times, 160 & 200 lbs. Nice and sturdy!

Very sturdy but really steep! It’s still a good slide. My granddaughter has lots of fun on it.

Works great

My first intention for this slide was to go into a pool but I ended up putting this together in December. Once summer comes along I will be converting this into a pool slide. hahaha. It was a little hard to align the two pieces together but after some patience you will get there. There are far fancier slides than this but this one shipped to Hawaii for free!

Easy to assemble and is relatively stiff even with the bolted joint, which was one of my concerns. Only had it a few months but it is holding up to the Florida sunshine and rain well.

Works well as described! It is made for a 4' deck, but works great on our 3' tall play structure ("Backyard Discovery Scenic Heights All Cedar Wooden Playhouse, Upper Deck Cottage Style, Saloon Style Doors, Ladder, Stairs, Play Sink, Storage Toy Box, Cushioned Cot, Built-in Growth Chart"). I had to cut the top of the slide to get it to fit in the play structure, but it otherwise fits and works great - the kids love it!

Screws 5/16 - 18 X 0.732" long were not sufficient to easily engage the nut onto the screw. The stackup of the (2) washers (0.151), the nut hieght (0.357), the two layers of plastic (0.180) and the three threads extending beyond the nut (0.166) adds up to 0.844". If you were to tighten until you have three threads past the locknut per the instructions, you would have to drive the washers half way through the plastic in order to get the three thread protrusion. Even after pulling the plastic flat so that both layers are in contact with each other the fastener length only allows for one thread protrusion. The instructions conflict by stating in one place to have one to two threads protrusion and in another place to have three thread protrusion. Which is it? (see photo) Also, the plastic trim was ground away at the factory as shown in the photo and this area caused the lower half to be stood off from the upper half (see photo). It seems longer screws should be provided with a dimension for screw thread protrusion and/or provide a torque specification. Other than this the tools list on the instructions should add a "C" clamp because that was the only way I could get the two parts close enough to engage the nut onto the screw.
