WANT TO ENTERTAIN THE KIDS THIS SUMMER?
Create a Slip-and-Slide!
During the summer, there’s nothing better than jumping into a pool to cool yourself off. However, if you don’t have a pool, the next best thing might just be creating your own slip-and-slide! Here’s how you can make yours so you can keep having fun in the sun while staying cool. STEP 1: PURCHASE THE NECESSARY ITEMS. You can buy a 10-by-25-foot roll of plastic sheeting at home improvement stores for under $30. Choose 6 mil so it can withstand everyone running and sliding on it. Then, you want to get 10 regular-size pool noodles and one large pool noodle. Construction supplies you’ll need are Velcro tape, scissors, two hose sprinkler attachments, and several landscape staples.
and your family. You can cut the plastic to any length you like — you may want one long slip-and-slide, or you can create several smaller ones so you can play games. After rolling out the plastic sheeting, lay the pool noodles down on each side of the plastic
and place the larger pool noodle on one end of the sheet. Wrap the plastic sheet around the large pool noodle, use Velcro tape to secure the plastic around it, then do the same for the other pool noodles. These will act as barriers so people won’t slide off the plastic. Once everything is wrapped and taped, place landscape staples on the four corners of your waterslide and a few along the sides to secure it. Finally, set up your sprinklers on either side of the slip-and-slide. If you want the surface to be extra slick, drizzle some dish soap onto the plastic. STEP 3: SLIP, SLIDE, AND SPLASH! Now, it’s time to have fun in the sun! The possibilities are endless regarding what you can do with your DIY waterslide. So, let your creativity flourish! Will you be creating your own slip-and-slide this summer? We would love to know the games you and your family play on your DIY waterslide!
STEP 2: BEGIN BUILDING YOUR SLIP-AND-SLIDE.
Once you have all the needed supplies, start by rolling the plastic sheet onto a relatively flat surface free of rocks, sticks, and any debris that could puncture the plastic or injure you
TESTIMONIAL
“In hindsight, I would have to say I was probably their most difficult client, but they made me feel like I was their ONLY client. I can never begin to thank them enough for helping me through such a terrible time in my life. “Atty Usry and his staff are so very kind and compassionate. I was waiting for a bill for every phone call, every email, but that is not how he works. He truly cares about his clients, their injuries, and their well-being. “When he would call or email, he always referred to himself as Rob. I always addressed him as Atty Usry because I have the utmost respect for him.” “He looked at us like people, not dollar signs; he treated us with respect and compassion. He helped us in more ways than we could have ever expected; he got justice for us both and made us whole again.
“During this whole nightmare, we also gained a friend. Thank you, Rob!”
