Step 3: Drill A Hole
Drill a hole on each end of the 2×4. Use a hammer to drive the stakes in and secure the stakes into the ground. Make sure the stakes are securely pounded into the ground so the plastic won't snag.
Step 4: Water Distribution
Place a sprinkler at the front portion of the slide and start from there. You can experiment to find out which placement of the water source will work for your slip n slide to have a better water distribution.
Step: 5 Give It A Test Run
Before sending off the kids to experience the slide of their life, turn on your sprinkler and give it a test run. You can also add some dish soap or tear-free shampoo for added velocity. I bet it will work out perfectly and your slip n slide is now ready!
