Swing'n'Slide Ws 5031 Olympus Wave Slide 2Piece Plastic Slide for 5' Decks, Yellow

Easy to bolt together, took me maybe 30 minutes. Installed to a 5 foot swingset deck with four power lag screws. The kids love it! I’ve used it a few times myself (210 lbs) and it’s very sturdy!

Good slide but assembly was more difficult than it should’ve been. The metal supports don’t fit easily within the plastic frame until after you’ve gotten all the bolts tightened. The problem is the bolts are quite short and you can’t get them far enough through the metal plate and the holes in the plastic frame to get a nut on them. Clamping helped and some holes needed slight drilling to fit. The bolts need to be at least a quarter inch longer!!

I gave it a 4 instead of 5 because it came without the bolts needed to assemble. I had to run to Home Depot (hassle). As far as the slides goes, easy to put together and attach. My deck was slightly to high so I built a landing box to install under the bottom of it. Raising it 6" off the ground. The sides seem nice and high enough. The Grand kids haven't tried it yet but I'm sure they're going to love it as I attached it to a tree fort I built.

Good product, a little pricey but less than other places. One note, the flange holes that are used to bolt the sections together with the plastic sections don't line up very well. I suggest drilling out the slugs left in the plastic that didn't get completely punched out. ( to give more clearance for the bolts )

This seems to be just what I was looking for. It is a custom job and required some thinking on how to install in my custom playhouse. Directions are straightforward, a clamp as well as following the torque sequence in the directions made it very simple. The bolts were plenty long enough as long as you use a clamp, a screwdriver is helpful to "pry" the holes into alignment but overall a pretty simple process. Assembled and installed in about an hour even with modifiing the already made deck and railing.

At first I was skeptical about buying this slide. Our deck is 5’ 8” tall. I went ahead and took the risk. It fit perfectly, at the bottom of the slide we added a small piece of wood to make the landing smoother. Our kids are 11yrs, 7yrs and 1yr obviously my 1yr old doesn’t go through it, but he will eventually grow up and will enjoy it as much as his siblings.The slide is sturdy it says it holds 250lbs. I gave it a try it held well. I must admit it did give me adrenaline lolOverall very satisfied with this slide.

Once assembled, the slide is pretty sturdy. The problem is trying to assemble the thing. Absolutely horrible experience. The bolts are too short to fit through all 4 of the holes and that’s if the holes line up correctly. After using 3 clamps, a drill to fix the holes and lots of cussing, the slide was finally put together. It took my husband and I multiple attempts to get each bolt secured with a nut. Save yourself some time and buy one that’s all one piece or just don’t buy this one. Also arrived a day later than promised.

Bought this slide to add toOur custom playset my husband engineered. It does look beautiful in the bright yellow without blue accents. However, I am 140lbs and went down the slide. It significantly gave with the weight. It didn’t break, but I wouldn’t recommend anything over 150lbs going down that slide for fear of it possibly breaking. The description rates it at 250lbs. I’m not convinced. Either way, my kids will have years of enjoyment from this slide. I will say the wave makes the quick dips even more fun! My 4 yo and 15 mo old love it!Assembly was definitely a two person job. Make sure you have a drill available to clean out the predrilled holes. Ours had plastic blocking it, so we had to clean that out, then it assembled fairly quickly. Read and follow the directions on which connections you do first. It definitely makes the assembly go more smoothly.
