Why Use Tarpaulin as a DIY Water Slide
Our tarpaulins are waterproof, durable and tear-resistant, making them the perfect material for a slip and slide. We offer an extensive range of tarpaulins in various sizes, so you can choose one that is the perfect fit for your outdoor space.
When the fun is done and summer is over, simply hang or lay your tarpaulin out to dry and store it away safely. With proper care, a quality tarpaulin can last for years, making them a one-time purchase that can be reused year after year, and for a variety of purposes too - from camping groundsheets to temporary cover.
What You’ll Need to Build your Homemade Slip and Slide
A homemade slip and slide is simple to build with these six items:
1. An open area with a slight slope so you can slide easily
2. Tent pegs to hold the tarp in place
3. Your choice of soap or biodegradable washing up liquid to make the surface extra slippery.
4. A steady supply of water, either via a hose or sprinkler
5. A Tarpaflex tarpaulin
How to Make a Tarp Slip and Slide
Making a tarp slip and slide is easy:
1. Order your chosen tarpaulin from the options above
2. Find a slope that isn’t too steep in your garden or another outdoor area
3. Roll out your tarp
4. Secure the surrounding edges using tent pegs
5. Add water, ensuring the surface is well covered to avoid dry or hot spots
6. Add your choice of soap
7. (Optional) Use tarp tape over the tent pegs to eliminate accidents
Safety Tips: Please check that there are no protruding eyelets or seams that could cause injury. If using pegs to secure the tarpaulin, ensure they are pushed flat into the ground to prevent accidents. Before laying out your tarp, check the area for rocks, sticks, or other debris that could cause injury while sliding.
