GENERAL
Q: What is the difference between SlideAway and deck mounted pool slides?
Residential deck mounted pool slides for in-ground pools use anchoring systems to permanently secure the slide to
the deck. For new pool construction, anchoring systems for slides are installed when the concrete deck is poured.
For retrofit or after-market, holes are drilled in the deck to secure the slide to the deck. Residential deck mounted
pool slides have weight limits up to 275 lbs/125 kg and are designed to be used by children and adults.
SlideAway is a removable pool slide for in-ground pools designed to be used by children up to 125 lbs/57 kg. It is
stabilized on the deck using a water ballast system and brace. SlideAway can be set-up on the deck in less than half
an hour and provide children hours of safe, splashing fun. When pool time is over for the kids, SlideAway can be
drained and removed from the deck until next time.
Q: What’s the difference between SlideAway and inflatable pool slides?
SlideAway meets the federal safety standard for pool slides established by the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety
