Planning and building a backyard wood playset can be a really fun way to spend time with your family and a guarantee that the playset in your
backyard will match your family’s interests and needs.
Beyond selecting the perfect material, prepping the site, and making sure the playset is designed and built for safe playing, the one element that determines an entire playset’s size and shape is the slide.
It may seem like a slide can be an afterthought. Just something you can attach when you are finished building the structure, right? Not really. Slides are designed to mount at specific platform heights.
But, we have found one slide at The Home Depot that allows for DIY flexibility in the field. It’s the Swing-N-Slide Yellow Side Winder Slide that features a 90 degree curve and mounts to any 3’-6” to 5’-6” platform.
