Roller Slide: How to Build

How to build a roller slide. I have built two homemade roller slides. This video shows how to build a backyard roller slide in a more economical way. These slides are popular at fall festivals. This guide shows all the steps on how to build this slide using 2" pvc pipe and treated lumber.Children love this slide. Sometimes this is called a rolling pipe slide. This method shows how to save a lot of money using this method. I’m an engineer building an amusement park in my backyard on a lake. Actually the paint did stick on rollers but I thought it wouldn’t in video.

You could also run a strip of 1x4 or something similar on top of the 2x4 just to cover the holes up help keep little fingers out and keep wasps out. Great build outwise thanks for sharing

Thanks. That is a good idea. Had the one at my house a couple years. For some reason wasps don’t seem to like it. They like a lot of other things though.

I didn't hear how long the conduit was cut too? Full list of plans would be super helpful....Thanks for the inspiration!

Considering building one of these that is portable for the box maze. So it has to be taken down and set up again. Not sure how I’d do it. Any thoughts, besides replacing screws with bolts? Any idea how much this weighs?

@@ryanc203 i built the sideboards (2x10x16’ w attached 2x4x16’ at my house and hauled them to the church. Not too heavy. Then joined them together w 2x4s. You could use lag bolts for this. Then use bolt to attach to 4x4 supports. Should work. Or the whole roller part could be one piece but that would be heavy. If you have a lot of help you could manage it. Also my next one will be a little higher and faster. Just made Gaga ball pit. Making video on that now. Easy.

@@BayouDad thanks, I’ll look into doing this.

@@ryanc203 I’ve been thinking. The screws can just be undone. No need for lag bolts.
