How durable and thick is the slide?

Its pretty durable i weight 245# and it holds up pretty good with me going down it. Its not as thick as what i had hoped but it works great for kids. The plastic is about 1/4" thick

I am 6'4" and a solid 195. Me and the kids dive into it everyday and it is holding up fine...it does flex a little but overall we are happy with it...

I can't give you a wall thickness, but it is very durable. I weigh over 200 lbs and slide down it. It comes with one bracket to brace it where the sections meet, which helps, but I found the 4 x 4 post I braced to moved also. I added an additional bracket and braced it back to the structure that supports the slide.

...only had it up about a month. If you use all the bracing that it recommends it is very durable in my opinion.

I bought this slide over a year ago for my kids and it seems to be plenty strong for my 150lb body to come down. It is not commercial strength but more then enough to withstand any abuse that kids will inflict upon it in your backyard.

The slide is pretty durable and thick. Maybe a little less than the commercial grade that is used at playgrounds, but still good quality.

I give this slide high marks on durability/thickness. Very pleased. Also an XL guy.

My son just turned 2 and he loves it! He's been using it for about 6 months or so and has done really well with it. He only recently started using the slide without our help

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

It's on a plastic frame with a metal slide. It is, however, quite durable. I still have mine (about 4 years old and heavily used) and it still works flawlessly.

There is a tray that holds the slides securely, so as long as you place the slides in the tray carefully you won't have any damage.

It's probably about 2 ft wide and maybe 3.5 ft long, however the slide sticks out another foot or so. It would probably fit inside an avg room, but it will require disassembly if you ever plan on moving it through a doorway

I am not sure but I can say it's a soft rubber type material. It's not as "sticky" as the other non slide materials out there...it's more soft and padded than anything.

No, its plastic. The slide is made of a light metal, the trigger and hammer also. Everything else is plastic.

Our daughter is 3 now and she still loves this slide. We use it a lot as a slide into her little kiddie pool. It's a perfect size for that. Hope this helps.

It still is for the most part. It also has the straps to strap it down for extra protection. I haven't had problems with sliding until my son was a year and half old. Even then a little shelf liner squares would take care of that.

I bought it when my son was 2. We still have it and he is almost 4. It was difficult for him to climb for a couple months, but the slide was an instant hit. I am 5'10" and 180lbs and I slide with him on it. Not sure it would hold that weight on a constant basis, but I often find myself sitting on it with him. It has been very durable. 2 years into our purchase, and it looks brand new. I have it in a playroom, so I am not sure how it would hold up to weather, but I wouldn't be afraid to put it outside. It's a great little slide. The "rocks" you climb on have 2 different settings. That makes it a bit easier for learning to climb, then it can change to a little more difficult setting. I would recommend it, for sure. It is played on at least once a day, and has been for 2 years. Hope this helps!

I'd probably not recommend this slide for a three year old. My 1.5 year old loves it, but I'd think he'd be bored with it if he was three.

I would say it's fairly thick given that it's for a toddler. I'm very satisfied with ours. My 3 yr old loves it.

There's a little slide. Not bad. I have an odd depth mattress so it adds to it somewhat. I'm not unsatisfied with it. It's certainly better than what I can get locally in my small town.

I wouldn't call it thick, but I would not call if flimsy either. We've had ours since the beginning of May and it's held up quite nicely. And my kids can be a bit rough and tumble when they are playing with it! They love it and I'm pleased.

Not really as it dries up fast and tends to burn the legs. Even with long pants on they will be unble to silide down a sry slide.

The tracks are very durable. I bought this for my youngest when he was 1 and my eldest was 4. They still play with it (2 years later).
