Summertime is all about making the most of the good weather and soaking up some sunrays, but why limit yourself to lounging in the backyard? With a few simple additions, you can turn your backyard into a water park paradise.
Exploring Water Slide Fun: Types, Blowing Up & More
So what types of water slides are available? If you’re looking for something big that packs a punch should consider an inflatable waterslide or super slides. They come in all shapes and sizes, with different features and designs to fit any backyard. On the other hand, if you're looking for something more low-key but still wants lots of fun in your backyard, you should check out water mats. You can lay them down on top of your grass and let the kids have hours of breezy summer fun.
How to blow up inflatable slides
Let's move on to getting your water slide pumped up and ready to go. Before you blow up your water slide, make sure you have a reliable air pump that's strong enough to get the job done.
Setting up the Slide
Follow these simple steps for setting up your inflatable slide:
1. Unfold the inflatable slide and lay it flat on the ground.
2. Depending on how big the slide is, you may need help lifting it into place, so make sure you have some extra hands before proceeding.
3. With one person at each end of the slide, slowly start inflating it with an air pump until it's slightly firm—it doesn't have to be rock solid yet, just enough so its shape is starting to become visible.
4. Once that's done, finish inflating with more air in sections until its fully pumped up (so no more wrinkling or sagging) then let it sit for 24 hours or so before letting anyone on it.
5. If applicable, make sure all connectors are securely attached and double check any safety features such as netting or padding around sharp edges before turning your backyard into a Slip 'n Slide paradise!
