Excessive children's energy, directed in the right direction, will save the nerves to parents and give extra time to relax in the fresh air. Interesting plastic collapsible or rubber inflatable children's slides can be purchased in a store. It is not very difficult and not expensive to build a stationary baby slide made of wood and metal.

Before starting the installation of a slide, determine a convenient place for it. The children's slide should be firmly and stable and is in combination with other gaming structures - swings, sandboxes and a game house. At the end of the descent, equip the landing site. Around this place there should be free space and there are no objects that the child can get hurt. As an option - you can lay a semi -rigid mat at the landing site.

Ready -made inflatable and plastic children's slides

Ready -made children's slides purchased in the store are designed for the age of 1.5 to 10 years. They have light weight, easily collected and dismantled. Such slides are used, as a rule, in the warm season. Any products for children should be certified.

• Plastic children's slides are made of special high -strength non -toxic plastic, but when buying, pay attention to the maximum permissible weight during its operation. Check the reliability of assembly fasteners and the stability of the children's slide itself. Metal bolts should be with a rounded smooth surface, and go to the hid in places for sliding. The design should not have sharp corners, dangerous holes or openings where the child’s hand or leg can get stuck.

• From reinforced PVC, bright children's inflatable slides of various formats and configuration are made. In height, they can reach 5 - 6 meters and have a descent of up to 8 meters, at the same time on such a hill can ride up to 10 children. In the collected form of its dimensions 1x1x3 meters. There are slides and smaller ones, you can purchase an inflatable slide with a trampoline, a house or a pool. The inflatable slide should be equipped with reliable safety cables and a powerful compressor.

Stationary children's slides made of wood and metal

It is not difficult and not expensive to make a baby slide yourself. Such children's slides, photos of which you see on the Internet, are made by ordinary people.

Making a baby slide made of metal

For a metal hill, you will need a set of pipes of various diameters from 0.5 to 1 inch, a 5x5 cm corner, a galvanized sheet, a rod, welding, a turbocharging machine, bright oil paints.

1. At the first stage, weld the frame according to the drawing. A proper square is made from the corner about 1.5x1.5 meters for the upper site and a metal sheet is welded to it no thinner than 1 mm. The inside is strengthened by “x” - figurative ribs of stiffness from the same corner. The site is welded to the supporting racks. For supporting racks, take a pipe with a diameter of at least 1 inch and a length of 3 meters. To the lower ends of the racks, weld metal heels - square or round trimming of metal or reinforcement.
2. In the installed place, dig four pits under the racks with a depth of 0.7 - 1 meter. The bottom of the holes is covered with stones and is trimmed with heavy crowbar. Install the frame of the children's slide in the pits and align it with a plumb line and waterpasis. Pour the pits with cement mixed with gravel and compact. After hardening the cement mortar, you can continue to work on the manufacture of a street baby slide made of metal.
3. From a half -inch pipe, make a “x” - a figurative strapping of the frame. From the edge of the site, approximately at an angle of 45 °, weld two corners for the manufacture of steps. The approximate step in height is 20-25 cm. The transverse stages of steps are welded strictly horizontally, from a corner of 2- 3 cm, the plane of the steps can be made of a wooden board. From the pipe ¾ inch is welded by the Lerge Fencing of the trigger, which passes into the handrails for the ladder of the children's hill. It is better to tighten the fencing and side openings of the ladders of ladder with a wire net with a small cell.
4. For the trigger gutter, you will need two pipes with a cross -section of an inch. Welling with welding or using a pipeline, two parallel curves are made for the base of the trigger. First, the descent should be steep and smoothly go into the plane close to the horizon. Brows of stiffness are welded across the curves, and a galvanized sheet is welded with a thickness of 1 mm. The standard galvanizing sheet has the size: width 710 mm and length 1500 mm. If there is a metal for a continuous gutter, a overlap is made along the sliding. Parallel bottoms of the fencing sides are bent from a semi -inch pipes. They are welded at an altitude of about 30 cm and sewn from the remains of metal. From trimming pipes, in three to four places, support racks for the trigger gutter are welded.
5. Metal children's slide is carefully processed with a turbocharging machine. All sharp corners and protrusions are polished until completely smoothing. A children's slide is painted with ordinary oil or pentafal paint for external metal work. The bottom of the gutter is not painted so as not to slow down the sliding.

Children's street slide made of wood

It is absolutely not difficult to make a baby slide from conifers from coniferous wood. To do this, you will need four round logs or square beams with a section of 10x10 cm, a beam 50x50 mm, a 25x150 mm board and a galvanized sheet steel for a pitched gutter up to 1 mm thick.

1. All wooden blanks should be thoroughly thrown out with an electric steamer and fabbed with sandpaper. A platform for a descent is assembled from the beam and boards, about 1x1 meter. Logs or beams are tied with a board and assembled into a frame, on top of which a platform is attached. The compounds are made using nails and screws from 70 mm long, and in key places are strengthened by bolts with a round head and a slot under the screwdriver.
2. If the frame is installed without digging, then it is necessary to provide installation cables - stretch marks. When dug up, treat the lower ends of the frame pillars with an antiseptic, soak the engineering of machine oil or promote. Install the level into the pits and pour cement mortar with gravel.
3. When the cement mortar hardens, begin to make a ladder. Cut the two boards 25x150 mm under 45 ° C of the end. And cut the steps with the same boards and fix them with screws into the end of the step 20 cm. At the sides of the steps from the lower part, attach a metal corner or a square rail of 20x20 mm. The finished ladder is attached to the support beams of the frame in the upper part with bolts.
4. From the opposite side, a slope is made. Unlike metal and plastic slides, the wooden slide of the slopes will turn out to be straight. Four to five boards 150 mm wide are rafted and covered with galvanized steel. As an option, you can cover with linoleum.                                                                             Important: Fasten steel or linoleum is mandatory on the end side of the trigger. From the boards, a side side is made 300 mm high. The groove is set under the need for the descent and is strengthened with support racks from a beam of 50x50 mm. The racks are turned on the altitude of the side and fixed with bolts and self -tapping screws. At the final stage, it is made from the beam and boards of the handrails and the Lerge fencing of the site.

After completing the carpentry, make sure that the slide is completely polished and treat the tree with an antiseptic. The finished baby slide made of wood can be painted in funny colors or open with varnish.
