to be able to get some "Visqueen".</div> <div> Make sure you check it each time for any slits, cuts or rips as these can cut you quite badly and ruin your day. Also do not slide standing up this again can be disasterous. Otherwise its safe and great fun.</div> <bR> <div> This makes use of a long length of the plastic sheeting builders use for damp proof membranes - (Trade name Visqueen - probably spelt differently). When wetted this makes an absolutely fantastic horizontal slide right across the garden.</div> <bR> <div> You can get a length of this from a builders merchants or even a builder may have a length surplus to requirements. About four feet wide minimum, you can fold it to this and this makes it have ledges each side to hold water, and as long a length as you can manage - we had one 15 yards long. </div> <div> Make sure there are no joins -all one piece - and NO CUTS or RIPS as these can cut into the skin.</div> <bR> <div> Lay the Visqueen out on the lawn and use a piece of board and an old stool or box at the top end to raise it like a slide to give the momentum. We used to use three bales of straw. A hose pipe needs fastening here to provide a steady flow of water over the Visqueen though you could have somebody constantly spraying it - (and the kids) - great fun!</div> <bR> <div> Kids need to be in swimming costumes with as much skin exposed as possible as skin, water and Visqueen make the best friction free combination.</div> <bR> <div> We once had a full afternoons birthday party based on our water slide - nobody got fed up and even the adults thought it was great!</div> <bR> <div> SAFETY - No CUTS, RIPS OR TEARS in the Visqueen AND NO SLIDING STANDING UP. This slide is so slippery and fast your feet will go faster than your body.</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
