Is this slide really 8 feet long? It says to mount it to a deck between 3'6" and 4'4", but an 8" slide seems way too long for that.

Bought for my grandson in nyI think the swingset i added to was about 4ft high. The slide slope seemed fine. Before we ordered we spoke to the manufacturer and they were great. Shipped immediately so i could install for grandson before we left town. Hope that helps. Richard

Yes it's really 8 feet long. I have used it at different elevations and it works fine. The top has a flat lip that you mount and then you can make the slide steep or less steep.

Yes, it is 8' long. I think the manufacturer suggests between 42" and 52" so that someone doesn't install it at too steep of an elevation and risk injury. I attached mine to a landing on a swing set that was right at 50" high or so, and that was perfect. I would think that anything above the recommended would be a little steep. The bottom of the slide isn't that high off of the ground (like a standard schoolyard slide), so unless you have a soft area at the end of the slide, I wouldn't make it too steep.

I guess it would depend on the size of the child. It seems to be more for small children. The slide, upper deck are not for a large child. The wall is ~28 inches high. I recommend looking for a larger play center.

Hi Laura! The main part of the slide measures 4'7" high, 9' long, 7' wide. Then there is the little 3' x 3' part that hangs into the water. Our granddaughters, 3 and 7, absolutely LOVE this slide. Even the 3 yr. old can negotiate the climbing with no problem. It is not really intended for adults though. The pump that comes with it works very well too. Highly recommended!!

Elizabeth,The platform sits right at 5ft. The slide you mention will work however, the angle which it sits I found it to be to steep

The slide is 8' long and If I remember correctly the instructions for this slide said install height should be no higher than 54 inches high or it would be too steep. So if you could drop down with a lower deck off of the taller tree fort then it should work.

Our 4 year old likes it, but he doesn't get much "slide" out of it. What he enjoys the most is sliding down onto a water slide so he can keep going. But now that it's winter, he won't use it and I expect he'll be too big next year. I would recommend a 6ft slide.

Slide is about 2 feet high. Top of the yellow cones in the corners are about 7.5 feet. We have used this inside with 8 foot ceilings.

My Husband attached the slide to a 5.5 foot high deck that he built that is the max height the website says and our 3 year old Grandson loves it! :)It is pretty fast and that is what our Grandson likes. It was a Christmas gift so our Grandson was only about 2 years 5 months old at the time and he loved it then too!

Not sure. You might be able to stretch it out to take up the 5'8'' height. Don't think it would make it too fast. However, you could also just build up an 8 inch landing deck to help take up the extra space. This could be made in a 3 foot by 3 foot wooden platform that is 8 inches tall. Let the slide sit on this platform and bolt it to the platform. When the kids reach the end of the slide. They come to a stop anyway by the design of the slide, so you don't have to worry about them "shooting out the end of the slide" and dropping an extra 8 inches. I placed a 4x4 under mine to make up a little space. Works fine. Hope this helps. Not sure. You might be able to stretch it out to take up the 5'8'' height. Don't think it would make it too fast.

we have this slide for an above the ground pool that is 4.5ft deep and it works great...the slide mounts on the deck so the ladder height is perfect for the length of the slide HTH

The Slide is about 30 inches high. It was perfect for my 2 and 5 yr. old grandchildren. The enjoyed it tremendously!

It's probably 36". But if you want my advice, don't buy this piece of crap. It is a pain to put together and we got ours with parts missing. I called the manufacturer and after a while they sent parts but they sent the wrong things. This deck is a sore subject in my house given what we paid for it and that we don't even use it. We had to find another solution. Beware

I had to build up the base for my slide to come down. We used landscape timbers and filled in with dirt to make ours land correctly. You would need to do domething similar off your deck .

The slide from the inside is only @ 4 -5 ft. the length of the slide is 7 ft. I have had for 2 years now, it held up well with plenty of use having 5 grandchildren. I would say the oldest child that has been in it was 10. But we have had adults in it with the little ones. Very sturdy and was worth well worth what I paid $499.00

With the mount folded (no screen attached) it is 3.25 inches high, 12-17 inches long depending on where the slide extension is positioned, and 9 inches wide. Extended (no screen attached) it is 12-17 inches high depending on where the extension slide is positioned, 7 inches long, and 9 inches wide.

Measurements are roughly 4 feet long, 3 feet tall. We also have it in our living room and gets tons of use. It is about the size of a large recliner chair. Regarding the "footprint" or impact this slide will have on the environment; It is a big chunk of plastic, so sadly, not good. I'd recommend checking into finding a clean used climber. They are all pretty sturdy and this particular climber will be great for many years after my child outgrows it. That may be one way to help with the slide's footprint. ;)
