It depended on the day's temp, amount of sunlight and how long we ran it. After doing it about 10 times, I don't go longer than 3 hours and try to minimize water use (more soap). It has and will kill cool season grass if left on too long, I think one time I left it on there for 5 or 6 hours. Warm season grass tolerates it much, much more.
Not at all! and I've had both cool and warm season grass in the end there. it does just fine. Soap acts as a surfactant, helping the soil absorb water more quickly!
INDEED! Do not buy clear if possible. If you buy clear, keep on grass for only a couple hours. I since bought a second after the first got too many holes. White works perfect, and I leave on the grass all day.
Love it! Kids will remember that forever 👍🏼
I know I remember my first giant slip and slide as a kid!
I am just very impressed with how you kept up on foot filming running down that hill 😂
Those karaokes in football finally paid off.😄
He had a drone or at least that's what I saw I saw
Appreciate the great DETAILED lessons learned! Got a growing 6 MIL or better, 100 feet or more vision for our Jesus camp! Many thanks!
Jesus camp w slipnslide? yes sir!! Glad it helped Keith!
They look like they had a great time. I remember having one for my nephews many years ago. They thought my husband was the coolest uncle.
Marines aren't the brightest, but damn we can have fun!
@@kove yup you know it. We lived in Camp Lejune at the time.
Thanks for the amazon link! 👍
You bet!
I love the idea of the kiddy pool at the end to slow down.
Credit goes to my wife, Tracy. Thanks Punk!
It’s tough to beat that fun in the summer!
We've used it every week we've had it so far. It is a total blast, RIP Grass!
This is soo awesome.. Thanks for sharing. We are definitely building this ASAP
It's a blast, do it!
How is it coming along? Im getting my plastic today!
Great Hill!
Thanks, trying for adults at my camping event this summer 😂
It will be a blast!
So awesome, doing this with my family!
do it!!
Yessss! You did that Dad😊
so fun!
that looks great looks like they are having a great time thanks for the tip
Even though it’s 4 years later, I had a friends party not to long ago and looked like this but blue and no pool at the end
The best one yet
What a great video! Thank you for doing it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
So cool! Definitely need to try this but my hill isn’t as steep as yours
Definitely want it on a hill. I wish ours was more steep for this!
Found this in spam comments. Imagine Ben Lawn Guardian's old lawn with a slipnslide! Ben certainly *had the steepest hill all the ladies loved.
Koven Carlson
Haha extreme slip n slide!
@@TheLawnTools @the lawn guardian (wonder if that hashtag will work) straight through the fence!
Awesome dad
Thanks Breanna!
Should set up some sprinklers by the tarp so it can get wet
Great idea Jacob!
Thanks you just gave me ideas for my sons birthday party!
Yep, that's exactly what we are doing too!
That's awesome! We want to come play!
Kids for sure have enjoyed the day!
Sure did, wears them out too, we've had it out three times now!
Making great memories!
Absolutely!
With all the rec pools closed up here for the summer I’m bringing the kids down. That is way too much fun.
Lol, yes we've been forced to be creative. Okay, just bring more soap! 😁
Looks like great fun!
It was indeed Jeff! Already want to make it longer.😉
Thanks for a great idea!!
You bet! thanks for watching!
I find joy in seeing kids have fun while getting wrecked at the end.
Lol, it is very entertaining!
It’s the secret joy of parenting. lol
Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
You bet!
Hey, it's a great video, thanks for the advices. Do you have a link for European shipping? :D
Really nice
Thanks Farlor!
@@kove Built one myself yesterday ;)
@@Falorik SWA-EATTT! Have an awesome summer!
With that kind of fun on a hill like that you will never see an overweight kid! They are working hard and don't even care haha
Dose this beautiful slide will work on flat area ?
i suppose it would
Looks like fun. On my way
Bring beverages 👌
Looks like fun
Indeed it was!
This is fantastic. I wish I had a hill like this!
The one benefit, that and sledding.
? I want do this but does the clear plastic kill ur grass ive wondering
Fold it a few times at the top to keep the stakes from ripping it.
That looks awesome, I need to find a spot with a hill now!
You should!
Very cool an unforgettable experience
thanks Ray! Exactly why I made it!
We're gonna do it. Thanks
Report back HIve master!
How fun!
I went out and got your set up. How awesome!
Let me know how it wot out!
thanks
You're welcome!
Sooo going to do this
It's real easy, do it!
We tried every soap in our house.couldnt get a good slick surface.might need ky lol
XD. Baby soap from the dollar store worked well for me.
Did the hose run all the time, or wet it now and then?
Yes, unfortunately uses a lot of water and gets super muddy.
Great job Dad! By the way, would you consider fostering a 51 year old boy who struggles with adulthood?
Lol, come on over!
Kids grow up, grass grows back

midwest must have alot of hills? Assuming, this is the midwest? Sorry if I'm wrong
in the STL area
what’s the grass look like after?

Awesome 🤣🤣
Thanks Dee!!
Great 💡
Thanks Busran!
The little one ! 😂
He was cracking us up, the little engine!
So cool bro 🤙🏾❤️🌱
Very fun!
Haha I would like make one to the sea … but I don’t know how … how I take water … haha
I can only have 75 in so could I cut the plastic. This summer I’m trying to make a homemade water slide. Pls tell me if I could do that
How much do you have? It's all kinda relative to what you expect.
I could have 100ft
I mean the grass won't be killed after just a few hours once a week or so right?
I'd do it a couple hours every two weeks if using the same spot. Unfortunately I used it all day and killed the entire strip.
@@kove yikes 😲. Good to know.
Step 1: move to a house with a hill Step 2: Slide. PITTL
Step 3: Build even bigger ski jump style slip and slide.
6mm ?? You mean 0.6mm??
lol, yes.
@@kove
1 mil = 1/1000 of an inch = 0.0254 millimeter (mm)
But you meant to say 6 mil = 0.1524 mm (and not 0,6 mm)
🙂
away from electronics :)
XD
It's not 6 millimeter but 6 mil and one mil is one thousandth of an inch
lmao, quarter inch thick plastic would be a beast! Good catch..
Colton
yes?
only thing soap will kill the grass.
The plastic covering the grass will kill it faster than the soap

1 mil is not 1 mm, it is 1/1,000 of an inch.
lol, I can't believe those words came out of my mouth, I should know better. Thank you for the correction Robert!
Doing it with 6 mil
Let me know how it worked out!
