Swing-N-Slide Turbo Tube Slide - Green

It's big and fast as a slide should be. Very pricey.

Two issues I had...the first is that it's very pricey and I'm not entirely sure why. The second is that it needed additional bracing (a ground post) to the middle-section it seemed - something I had to add....otherwise it's really a good slide, I purchased it largely based upon it's size and the project I needed it for. Had I needed smaller - I would've gotten something else.

Wonderful toy; hard to assemble.

After reading previous folks' reviews, I was prepared to find pieces impossible to fit together and hard to figure out. The conceptual part was a piece of cake, and most holes did not line up unless forced. Nevertheless, I only had to drill one new hole, and was able to jimmy everything else into pretty close alignment. It took me (one person, alone) a few hours during each of three days to put...

After reading previous folks' reviews, I was prepared to find pieces impossible to fit together and hard to figure out. The conceptual part was a piece of cake, and most holes did not line up unless forced. Nevertheless, I only had to drill one new hole, and was able to jimmy everything else into pretty close alignment. It took me (one person, alone) a few hours during each of three days to put it together and mount it on a custom-made platform. Because I was by myself, I used ropes to maneuver the top section in place for bolting before finishing the bottom pieces. The slide is rated for 250 lbs and it appears to me that is correct--I'm a little lighter than that and I went down it several times before I let the kids use it. :-) However, even when a fifty pound child slides down, there's some wobble, so I believe I will set a 4x4 post in concrete and bolt it to the outside of the slide about halfway up. All told, I am very pleased with the Turbo Tube. I do think it's a little overpriced, though.

HARD TO PUT TOGETHER

Took my very experienced friend all day. The directions are not great at the end they tell you you should have built a pit for the bottom of the slide. They should label the pieces. Good luck, but fun and looks just like the picture.

Definately residential quality ... needs more support brackets

While paperwork may say it supports up to 250 lbs, for anyone larger than children, it concerns me that the flexing of the tube will eventually wear out the tubing and cause it to crack or break ... but for now it works. I am likely adding additional supports to reduce the amount of pressure on the slide as a whole.

Looks really nice!

This product looks really nice when you get it up and seems to be of pretty good quality. My only negative comment would be that it was a little time consuming to put together. The directions were fairly easy to read but it took us a few hours to actually put together and there were no directions on how to get your playset ready for the slide. Overall we are pleased!
