would this work also as a small 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.

My grandson slides down it sometimes but it really does not work well as a small slide. It is not slippery enough. He pretty well has to push himself down the ramp. He does love it though. he is a little dare devil and goes down backwards with the little bike.

Should work. Need room to get a running start for a good slide. Only the front actually floats or sits in the water the rest would be sitting on your dock

Possibly, but I think you would have to add base plate to give a reference surface upon which to slide. I would also only use small bits as the motor does not have much torque.

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

I think so but my slides are only cardboard but it looks like it may work but can't say for sure.

In my opinion it's not very big - I thought it would be bigger than it is. But my 2&4 year olds can jump in there together Just fine. I think you could add one more small kid in there at the same time too. Honestly my kids don't just jump a lot though. They play on the slide a lot.

I bought the slide for the grandchildren and the oldest of three is 20 months. So I would think it would become to small very soon.

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

I believe it does. I don't have a slide handy, but if 2x2 is a typical slide, then it handles it fine. Good product for the price!

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.

Yes, it can be used with no slide. It is very easy to connect and disconnect the slide.

If you attach it to the slide I think it would be stable. It was a good ladder but I returned it because it wasn't stable enough for our use.

It will not fit, since the slide is a little over 8", and probably could accommodate something around 7.5" at most.

Yes just try not to overload the slide. The weight capacity is for.normal verticle position

The slide seems to only fit 5 ft deck height with no modification. I did modify the setup by constructing a raised landing deck so I could have a higher starting deck height. Hope that helps.

I don't see why not as long as you're willing to get a little creative when building the support for the slide. You will need something stable at the midpoint of the slide -- it's not strong enough to just be anchored at the top and base. The instructions call for building a support out of 2x4s and sinking it in the ground, so you'll need to come up with an alternate design.

I bought this last year and it is working well on a 5 ft platform. It is a steep dropping slide. The platform height won't effect the steepness of the slide. It will however effect the bottom drop off, it will be further off of the ground. At 5'8", I would consider the six foot version of this slide.
