Here are the steps in making an outdoor, homemade slip and slide. It is really, really easy. [links]
Because life is not all (yard) work and no play, I am going to talk about the best plastic/tarp for a slip and slide. As a kid, I thought a slip and slide was best outdoor water ride ever. The thought of running and sliding on a slip and slide in the hot sun brings back great memories. As people have gotten more creative, the slip and slides have gotten better and better. If you are looking to make your own slip and slide in your yard or on your property, there are some things your are going to need.
That is all it takes to make a homemade slip and slide. Here is a great video on how to make a slip and slide.
If you are going to go ahead and make your own slip and slide, there are a couple of items you are going to need:
At 20 feet wide, you could fit more than one person using the slip and slide. Always be careful. Both of these plastic sheeting rolls are 10 mil thick and very, very slippery. They work great for slip and slides. You don't have to use the whole 100 feet if you have a smaller yard or area. Both plastic rolls can be cut very easily. Both rolls are heavy duty enough to roll up and use again and again.!

As a kid and a teenager, I tried making my own slip and slide with mixed results. To make a good slip and slide, you need a really, good piece of plastic that won't rip, won't hurt your body when you slide, and is very, very slippery. The last thing you need is to make a slip and slide, invite kids over to use it, and have it either rip right away or scrape up the kids because it is not slippery enough. So here is our picks for the best plastic/tarp for a slip and slide: more

This plastic is very heavy duty and works great for a slip and slide. At 10 feet wide, you probably only want one person going down at a time. If you want to get really crazy and have 2 people go down at the same time for racing, you would want to go with this plastic:

Did you know that if snow is firm enough, it can be rolled like a Fruit-Rollup? All you need to do is create a “log” of snow, then start pushing it, lifting the packed snow as you go. This method is definitely not for the couch potato, but if you’re strong and able, it can actually be pretty fun!
Let’s just cut to the chase: Shoveling snow sucks. It’s wet. it’s cold. it’s exhausting. Sure, it’s technically “good exercise,” but if we’re all being real here, the negatives definitely outweigh the positives when it comes to manually shoveling snow.
Is that leaf blower of yours collecting dust during the winter season? Why not put it to good use and blow the snow off your driveway? Keep in mind, this will only work on the fluffy, fresh stuff, nevertheless, it’s a whole lot better than shoveling. You could even say it “blows” the shovel out of the water. You knew that one was coming, right? here
Not so much a snow removal method as a “preventative measure,” heated driveways are becoming more and more popular these days, especially in the northern, snow-prone states. The next time you get a new driveway, try upgrading to a “heated driveway” that has an electrical circuit underneath the surface. The cost to run a heated driveway is about 28 cents per hour for every 100 square feet, which isn’t so bad, especially if it means you’ll never have to shovel your walk. ever. again.

Your neighbors are gonna think you’re crazy. Crazy smart that is. All you need for the “tarp method” is a large, plastic tarp that you can find in the camping section of almost any hardware store. Before the anticipated snowfall, lay your tarp down on your driveway and just…”let it snow.” All you’ll need to do is pull the tarp away from the driveway to reveal a clear pathway. Everyone will be, like, “Why didn’t I think of that?!”
Many Americans will resort to this method to remove snow from their driveway, but there are actually a ton of different techniques out there to get the white stuff out of the way, and guess what? They don’t require neanderthalic strength. Read on for 5 ways to get rid of snow without busting out the plastic shovel.
