Can you use this slide with a large above ground pool for small children? Pool depth 41/2 feet.

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!

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.

I use it on an inground pool and it works great. Do not know of it will work well with an above ground pool.

Yes, if you have a big deck around the pool.And it's the rectangle pool not the round one ,you need some space in front of slide .

Hi Hillary, I don't see why not. I just asked my husband and he seemed to think it would work just fine. We actually just pulled ours out again and the kids have been using it everyday. Ours sits on the side of our pool and we have jagged edged stone and this slide has held up extremely well. This will be our second summer using it (and it does get used a lot) and it is still very durable. Hope this helps!

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

When filled to the very top, this pool is 4ft. tall, so you should be fine. My children can stand up in the pool with neck and head above water.

Not with out some modification. It would be steep and the base would not sit flat. Try to find longer slide would be the easy solution.

I don't think so. My toddlers (5 and 2) on it and it seems flimsy. And the top of the slide is a small area. Just my thoughts. Hope this helps.

I don't think so. If the lower ground was out side the pool you could, but not from the inside.

You can try, but it works better the higher you fill it. 3/4 would work, and it shouldn't be too high for your children. It is a great pool, though.

I guess it depends on how big the kids are. You can find the exact measurements in the product description. The slide is about 2.5 ft high. My 16th month goes down it.

Yes it would work as a pool slide. The biggest thing is as the other responses state that it need's a base and a deck or something for it to be mounted on. The slide itself is pretty flimsy, so it is important to sure it up with 2 x 4 material.

We used one in our 20 X 40 in ground play pool Max depth <6' and it worked great but did need additional hose segments. In deeper a pool, say a diving pool, it may not be as effective. I just ordered one for the similarly sized diving pool at out new house. I will try to remember to update after I hook it up.

I'm not sure,but we had kids almost 100lbs sliding on it with no problem. Where we went wrong was letting them pull it into the pool. It sounded innocent enough, except when the heavier kids started trying to climb out of the water onto the ladder part their entire weight was pulling on plastic seams. Once the ladder portion had a hole in it, we had ourselves a really odd pool float. I think if you buy this for kids up to 10 years old you'll be fine. Not to take money out of Amazon's wallet, but I have seen this same slide at Walmart.

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.

The child could use it as a slide but it would be going very slow. My grandson who is 2 just runs right down it.

I also needed it to work on a 5 ft platform. I have pea gravel on the playground so I basically placed more pea gravel at the foot of the slide raising it to the level that works. If you do not have the means to do something similar I wouldn't recommend this slide for a 5 ft platform.

This is a guestimate, about 5 and 1/2 foot high. It is fun, just remember that there is not a pad at the end of the slide. I made a cushion to put on it, if there is not water running.

at 33 inches it would not be much of a slide. my grandchild just turned one and she wants more. buy the next size up. they'll get the hang of it really fast
