Spirals add a little twist to everything. This fun 8-Foot Open Spiral Slide by PlaygroundEquipment.com offers twists and turns that will have kids going down again and again. It is one of the largest free-standing slides that we offer, featuring an 8-foot-tall slide that coils around a full 450 degrees before reaching the ground. The spiral shape is not only fun; spiral slides also have other benefits. The shape conserves space, making the structure a lot more compact than it would be if the slide extended straight outward. It is also safer, since constantly turning prevents the accumulation of too much speed.
This slide is constructed from roto-molded plastic and a sturdy galvanized metal frame. As an added safety feature, the stairs and deck of the structure are given a specialized PVC coating that keeps them from getting slippery. In addition, the stairs are completely surrounded by a secure metal handrail. This slide is supported by a sturdy pole that is in-ground mounted. The dimensions of the slide's footprint are 5 feet 9 inches by 14 feet 9 inches, and the safe use zone required for the slide is 19 feet 9 inches by 28 feet 9 inches.
