How does this slide stay on the deck without blowing away?

Absolutely, it is quite heavy and not easily moved. I live in Florida and have never been concerned about unplanned movement.

Hmmm. Good Question. I didn't even think of that before I purchased it. Didn't have any issues. It was pretty big, so I think the weight of it weighed it down. There were kids constantly going down it, so it wasn't empty for the most part. I think the one I bought this time is a little bigger. Not sure though. I know you put your hose inside and water comes out of the slide. So maybe the water holds it down. I really don't know. Ours never flew away though. LOL! It was a hit at my sons 4th birthday party! Good Luck :)

Underneath is a little cross bar I guess you could put sandbags on it to keep it from flying away in a high wind area

Yes, however it did not survive an entire week of play without ripping at the seams.

The only way I can answer if the slide stays open when emptied is that some do and some don't. The manufacturer doesn't make it very clear as to which guns do or don't

If you plan on taking it down and putting it away during the week then it is a pain the arse. If you deinflate it, my advice is to cover it with a tarp. We left ours in place all summer using it every few days. Regrettably I didn't cover it. This is an awesome slide for family fun. My kids, under 120 pounds played on it for hours/days. Not so good when the big boys and me tried to use it, although it did hold up.

the blower has a little bit noisy, I can accept , because the noise from kids is greater than the blower, , you can setup outside and leave out there, but you need to sure that there is no rain, because the blower cant get wet ,after you play, you need to dry the bounceland pool, else it has mould.

I haven't noticed anyone having trouble sliding...it is not really fast but enough to have fun. The kids seem to enjoy it.

Not sure exactly how you had planned - 7ft slide at end of circular slide? If so I'm not really sure. The green circular slide is attached to our 5 ft. deck and hits the ground. From what I am picturing I think the 7ft. slide would be too long - but I'm not sure how much space it takes and the angle on it. With what I am thinking you only have four feet from the bottom of the circular slide to the ground. Sorry, this may not be much help. See what the foot print of the 7 ft. slide is and see if it works. Good luck.

You stick some heavy cardboard rectangles on the bottoms of the feet so it won't float in the air. It does stay on the ground like the photo shows.

Wait. Sorry. the exit off the slide is open. There is nothing to close off that opening. the other exit has a mesh closing with Velcro.

We ordered a Swing-N-Slide Cool Wave (it's an 8 foot slide) from Acehardware.com. It comes with free shipping to any Ace Hardware store. The price is $84.99 (and I think it is currently on sale for less). This was much less expensive than any other vendor. We have used it for two years and it still looks like new.

We have our gazebo on the rooftop deck in Chicago (think windy city), while it is vented very well, in high winds it did start to shake and move, so we ended up screwing it to the deck and filling the hollow columns with sand (about 1 80lbs bag per column), the combination of the sand and the screws makes it rock solid. In the winter we take the canvas down so not to get snow build-up. If your not in as windy a place, you might just try the sand trick.

Sorry - I don't know how to fix this. Mine is not bent but rarely will flip up and lock the slide back - are you sure it's not just flipped up? It's easy to do when you are pulling the slide back because it takes so much force to pull it back. Sorry I can't be more help!

We have our slide at 5' high and it is about a 45 degree angle,Have had our 3 year old going down and they have not fallen out of it.

All of mine stay in place. We didn't even use the sand. We simply drilled some extra holes in the plastic to fill it with water quicker. They are secured to the deck and don't move or float up.

You have to have continuous air. It's the same set up as a blow up bounce house

Don't know if I follow tour question but.. The slide is made of material and has a removable protective (material) cover. I would not use it w/ water. It's made out of "tent" material. The inside floor is the typical bounce house (plastic) material. Had 3 yrs. and its held up great.

I don't have the slide on mine, it does not effect the stability of the bed. However the railing is not full length so you have a space the size of the slide on the end where the slide should attach.

I actually used black electricians tape and wrapped it around where u see the slide openings underneith the mail bars. That did help a lot, and it's held up through wind rain and snow. Also, I turn up the radio lol
