About

Setting up a waterslide requires a flat area that is mostly level, although a slope is OK. The area should be on grass, concrete, or dirt, but it must be level enough. Different types of ground require different types of equipment. When setting up a waterslide, large spikes are driven into the ground to ensure the slide will stay in place. Be aware of underground pipes and irrigation. Make sure there is adequate space for the slide before renting it.
