Above Ground Pool Slide
Fun If You Keep It Safe
Many years ago I saw an above ground pool slide that stood on
stilts way up in the air. I have not seen one since.
Maybe the danger and liability factors were too great for the
manufacturer. The versions today are a lot smaller but a lot
safer.
Be sure the pool slide is securely mounted onto the wood
deck. It is best to use nuts and bolts as apposed to lag
bolts.
There is only one company on the web, that I know of, with a
slide for your above ground pool. Most of the slides you find are for in ground pools.
Some can be adapted to an above ground pool deck and others can't.
This slide looks like a lot of save fun for the kids.
An Amazon store has them and will send one your way if you tell
them to.
The pool slide is close to the ground so there will be a lot less
risk of injury than some of the taller slides.
The mounting part is up to you, just make sure it is safe
for your youngsters. And make sure it is mounted to a solid wood
deck, not an above ground pool resin deck.

Below are examples of slides being used with above ground pools. They might
give ideas about how you could install one on your pool deck for the kids.
Simple enough, looks like half a pool ladder and maybe a slide from a swing set,
and a few 2 x 4's for support.
A double slide with a lot of wood structure for support. These are not my slide
projects so I can not give a lot of detail, they are just for ideas, the
planning, finding the parts and building are up to you.
Maybe a slide from a swing set and a lot of lumber. The options seem endless
depending on how much money, time and energy you want to devote to it.
My only probem with this one might be the ladder going up to the platform. If it
works I guess it is OK.
I like these steps much better. But keeping safety in mind would handrails make
it better?
An in ground pool type ladder mounted on a pool deck. It's going into a soft
sided pool so they will need to make sure the pool stays in good shape. The last
thing you want is for someone to slide down and the pool to burst.
There is not a lot of detail here but it looks like a water tube mounted to a
wood structure on a pool deck.
This one goes up into the trees. It looks well built and built for fun.
Another in ground pool ladder mounted to a pool deck. If the mounts are secure
it should stay in place and function as it should.
A lot like the last one. It looks well done and safe.
This one would give you a nice view of the neighborhood but a little too tall
for my liking. As I said before, make sure the pool walls stay in good
condition, no signs of rust or weakness.
This looks well built and well thought out. Would be fun for younger children.
It's an inflatable slide. I am not sure where it came from or how it is mounted
but looks like fun.
They used the inside portion of some above ground pool steps and maybe a play
set slide. It's not fancy but looks like it would work.
This slide looks well planned and secure and certainly fits the decking decor.
Is it just me or could this slide use some more decking support. Again it's
going into a soft sided pool, just be careful.
It' simple enough and probably fine for young kids.
Anything goes when thinking above ground pool slides, check out this tube. I
hope it is well mounted with an active water system.
More tube action with this one, straight down and in.
It looks like another in ground pool slide adapted to a semi in ground above
ground pool installed next to the patio. This is one I worked on, changing the
pool liner, that's why you see a little liner over a bare pool wall. The top
rail under the slide was a bear to get off.
