How much of the slide is actually in the water? I have limited deck space around my pool so am trying to determine how far it projects on deck

Only a small part of the slide is on the deck. Most of it is in the pool. I'd say maybe 2 feet sits on the deck.

Only the very front. Need room on the deck for most of slide. Kids need a running start to get a good slide to pool.

You could as long as you have a level deck around it. The pool wall and the decking should level to ensure the slide works perfectly. I would only recommend it for small kids in an above ground pool as the force from the impact generates a lot of waves and could damage an above ground pool if adults were using it. That being said, I mainly have adults using it for an in ground pool and it is AWESOME!

We have a slight slope as well and it works fine. The slides are fine either way but the pool will not be an even depth. NOTE - if there isn't any water at the bottom of a slide it can be painful/dangerous to come down so be sure the slope is gradual enough that you have at least a little water everywhere.

No, the slide has a "water weight" (a filled container you fill) that rests on the concrete to maintain positioning. Only the front part rests in the water. If you have a large, stable deck around the pool, perhaps it would work, but I believe it would be too dangerous.

The best recommendation is to search the web on the installation specifications. They give you dimensions and required pool depth. Also be careful of ordering the turn. I ordered what I thought was a left turn and it was really a right turn. We love the slide. Amazon had the best deal

its about 2 x 2 x 3'. I would not recommend this one though. Its nice, but there is no cushion at the end of the slide. The kids slide right into the ground with only about 8" of water to break the fall. There are other similar slides where the slide has a cushion before hitting the water. Also the shark one does not have any area where kids can play that is not in the way of anyone coming down the slide. I also have this slide. Notice the cushion at the end of the slide and the side areas for other kids to play. http://www.amazon.com/Banzai-The-Plunge-Water-Slide/dp/B007QEB412/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1371470107&sr=8-12&keywords=blast+zone+water+slide

We love the water feature. This summer, the neighborhood kids requested the water several times a week. The water pools in that space and they play in there. We didn't get balls at all...that just seemed like a nightmare to me.

The slide is in NY and we are in Washington. According to the dimensions on the website it is 90" which is 7 1/2 feet.

As the slide is bolted into the deck or cement sideways, you do not need any more depth than the width of the distance of the slide from the edge of the pool which is 42" at the step end on our in ground pool set up, which actually is several inches farther from the edge of the pool that the curved end of the slide. Even if your deck is only 54" wide you will still have an extra foot between the slide steps and the outside edge of your deck, and if you were to place it at the end farthest from your deck steps there would be no need to walk around the slide. The slide length is only 68" long so you should have no problem with your space at all.

i can't tell you exactly without blowing it up and measuring it, but it is large, and it would have to be a very large pool to play with it very much. it is like a raft. i am a large woman, and i rode it with my two young grandsons. i would venture a guess of about seven foot one direction and about four to five foot in the other direction. we use it in a lake. it is great there.

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 .

I have this as a gift to my nephew who has a pool. It is not that large of a pool. They have not used it yet, so I'm. Not sure

Not at all. We got it for my daughter's first birthday party. We had her, her cousin who's 4 months older, a two year old, and a three year old. They all had a blast. As with any pool, you'll want to help him/her on the slide and with the toys. The water filled to about 2.5 inches in the bottom of te pool and about 4 inches in the wading pool behind the slide.

My yard has slight slope too and I love the fact that I can have one end of the pool deeper and the other end shallower. As long as it is mostly flat, it's fine. You can also angle it so that the front where the landing area is go towards the slope. That way most water is pulled towards that side and out from the bounce house. The slide might be faster too. You don't want the bounce house / slide section to be on slope because a lot more water can get inside the internal inflated area, thus it takes more time to dry it.

The slide is narrow, great for a child but too narrow for an adult to use. The slide is 24 inches wide tot, I left a 30 inch opening on the deck and it fit with about 3 inches on each side.

Rebecca, the pool side portion is about 20-24 " if I remember correctly. My grandchildren were 3 and 5 last summer and loved it. I even went down the slide with them. The slide was used probably 6 times during the summer and held up great. The con for this item is it will not fit back in the bag. We bought a large outdoor trash can and store the slide in it. When finished we deflate the pool, remove the water, then reinflate the pool so it can dry out. You do not want to store the pool when it is wet. I hope this helps.

I believe the instruction says about 25 feet away from where you are sitting or entertaining.I place mine about that far from my deck and have pretty good results. From the north Georgia Mts......
