Children's slide, choose a children's hill, selection criteria, children's slide with their own hands

According to long-established tradition, no children's playground does not do without a basic, indispensable attribute - a children's hill. It is set up wishing to diversify children's leisure and ensure a more relaxing holiday in nature. There are many kinds of this product. Various materials are used for their creation: plastic, wood, rubber, metal and so on. You can buy a slide in a specialized store, or you can construct yourself. Everything will depend on the amount of free time, financial opportunity and desire.

The main types of slides - which of them are most interesting for children

The most common types of slides are made of metal. They differ in their strength and durability, even with the constant use of a large number of children. But there are also negative aspects of these designs:

• increased risk of injury for very young children;
• being in the open air on a sunny summer day, the temperature of the metal structure can greatly increase.

A good kind is considered to be children's slides for dachas, made of wood. They proportionally combine the comfort of use and relative safety.

According to the results of the social survey among pre-school children, the specialists realized that the most interesting for them are slides that make it possible not only to roll down, but also to climb along ropes and rope ladders. This kind of slides are called two-way.

Children's plastic slide - safe rest for the little ones

Of plastic make slides for the smallest. The component structures are as simple as possible and do not have sharp corners. This, in turn, prevents or practically excludes child injuries. In height, these slides reach 1 meter. They consist of a ladder and a descent with a minimum percentage of gradient.

Designing a plastic product with one's own hand is not cost-effective, but in specialized stores this product is presented quite widely. Of all the variety of goods with ease, you can choose the option suitable for both color, size, and financial capabilities.

Children's inflatable hill with a swimming pool - the best place for children's games on a hot day

Game inflatable centers for children can be used to play the child from 1 year to 2 years (always under the supervision of elders), or for independent games of children from 3 years and older. Since the design of such centers allows the construction of a pool, a fountain, and, of course, slides for descent into the water, they become the most popular and favorite places for children to play in the summer.

Do not forget about the need to look after the kids, especially if they do not know how to swim.

Children's inflatable pool with a slide differs in the first place by providing the child with a full and completely safe rest: the pool walls and the surface of the slide are soft, they make them their hypoallergenic materials. The very design of the pool provides him with sufficient stability.

The cost of the complex is quite affordable, especially if you consider that its active operation can last for several years.

Of course, we can not talk about the hand-made manufacturing of a slide with a pool, traditional materials used for independent work: metal and wood.

Children's wooden slides - what to consider when installing

If you want to build a children's play structure yourself, you should pay special attention to such material as wood. Products made of it will be original, environmentally friendly and not expensive.

It is not excluded the option in which the combination of the base of wood and the descent of metal or plastic occurs. The required size of the ramp can either be ordered from the manufacturer, or you can buy it at a specialized construction store.

Before you make a children's hill, you need to think it over and weigh it. And before the installation of a children's roller coaster - twice, because this depends on the safety of the child. First of all, you need to decide on the location. If the site already has other attributes for children's games, then next to them you can install and slide.

Particular attention during installation should be given to the end of the ramp. Near him there should not be any foreign objects that can lead to injuries (stones, branches, metal bars and the like).

Quite often at the end of the ramp slides put a semi-rigid mat. It sufficiently softens the landing.

Children's slides for cottages - features of choice

After making a decision to buy a children's roller coaster, it is usually necessary to go to a specialized store. When you come to the store and start choosing the right product, remember and follow certain tips:

• ready slides - designed for children from 1.5 to 10 years of age, light in weight, if necessary they can be easily disassembled and assembled, used mainly in the warm season, have a certificate of quality and compliance with standards;
• plastic slides - only non-toxic plastics are used in the production of this product; it is distinguished by its high strength (by studying the accompanying operating documents it is necessary to find out for which maximum weight they are calculated);
• ensure the strength of the assembling and fastening assemblies, the reliability and safety of the structure itself, check all metal bolts that must have a smooth top (in general, the structure should not have sharp, protruding corners, holes and holes in which the child's limbs can fall);
• hills made of reinforced PVC - they have different shapes and sets, the height is up to 6 meters, the length of the descent is 8 meters, they are designed for a one-time use by a maximum of 10 children, in this subspecies there are models of smaller sizes equipped with pools, trampolines, mazes or houses, without fail equipped with a good compressor and strong cables for insurance.

Children's slide with their own hands

For the hand-made manufacture of children's slides from metal, the following materials will be needed:

• galvanized sheet
• metal corner
• pipes
• rod
• welding
• metal grinding machine
• cement
• crushed stone
• colorful oil paints.

The first thing you need to draw a drawing with a clear indication of all sizes, solder points, pipe diameters. After studying the drawing parameters, you can proceed to the frame. The frame is made in the form of a square. A sheet of metal is welded to it. In addition, corners are made from the corner to add stiffness to the frame. With the help of all the same welding, the resulting pad is attached to the support pipes. To the ends, located at the bottom of the rack, welded small round pieces of metal.

Place for installation of the construction is chosen in advance. In this area, 4 pits are excavated. Their depth can reach a meter. In the base of the wells the stones are well rammed. Then the frame is assembled into pits. Horizontal installation will help check the spirit level and plumb line. Now the pits are completely covered with rubble and poured with cement. When the cement solution is completely hardened, the manufacturing work can be continued.

The next step is the steps and rails. They are made from corners and pipes. As an option, the area welded from the corner of the steps can be filled with wooden boards of the required size. Between the rails and the steps draw a fine grid.

The chute for descent is also made of sheet iron and pipes. The pipes are heated and bent properly. In addition, ribs are made for greater rigidity and a galvanized sheet is welded on top of them. Still need not forget about the sides-fences, which should be located along the entire length of the escape chute.

After finishing the welding work, all metal surfaces must be treated with a grinding machine. Particular attention is coordinated on sharp fragments, corners and protrusions. Now it comes to painting. The color and pattern may depend on the wishes of the child, but may look like a surprise from the parents.

How to make a slide for children from a tree

To make such a design you will need:

• square beams or round logs
• boards
• bar
• cink Steel
• sandpaper
• electric plane
• nails
• self-tapping screws.

The entire wooden surface must be treated with a plane and sandpaper. The launch pad is made with a beam and boards. Beams or logs are surrounded by a board and are assembled in a frame to which the trigger pad is mounted. Fastening is made by screws and nails of the appropriate size.

In a place defined for installation, pits are dug out, which must be crushed with rubble and poured with cement mortar. And as described in the previous version, install the assembled structure in them.

After the final hardening of the mortar, you can proceed with further work. The next stage is the construction of steps. Stairs are made of boards and fixed with screws. A rail is made of a bar or other suitable material. Then the steps are bolted to the logs of the frame.

Now you can go downhill. In this type of slides, descent can only be direct. The basis of the descent will be interconnected boards. On top of them lay either a galvanized sheet or linoleum.

After finishing the work with the tree, you need to make sure that the grinding is done properly. When finding the slightest errors, repeat the grinding. Before carrying out paint and varnish works, the entire wooden surface is covered with a layer of antiseptic.
