Hedstrom M08684 Wavy Slide, Orange
Hedstrom Wavy Slide
Nothing beats the great outdoors so get kids off the sofa and into the garden for active play with the Hedstrom Wavy Slide! The wavy slide chute measures 5.7ft in length and is again blow-moulded with steel support underneath for a strong and stable construction and smooth slide action. The high hand rails, broad stabiliser bars and grip tread to the top of the slide offer extra stability for getting seated. The main frame is constructed from heavy duty powder coated steel for stability and durability and the entire set features UV resistance for longevity. For safety, place the wavy slide on a level surface at least two metres from any structure or obstruction – we also strongly recommend adult supervision at all times.

This an excellent slide. Very sturdy when put together and a decent size for our 3 year old. However it does require some force to put together.
Gute stabile Qualitt, keine Gefahr, dass die Rutsche kippt. Unsere Enkelin ist 14 Monate und natrlich bleiben wir zur Sicherheit stehen, um Gefahren auszuschlieen. Ganz besonderes Lob an den Lieferanten Wolffstore, die Rutsche wurde als gebraucht gekauft, es fehlten Teile, worauf die Firma schnell und mit groer Kulanz reagierte, hier Daumen hoch.
Still going strong and surviving all weather outdoors 3 yrs later!!
This was not easy to build the instructions are far from clear and there was bolts missing!
ideal for youngsters but no lip at end so they land on the grass
Arrived very quickly.
Opened box and all the bars etc are labelled well.
The instruction manual is ok apart from all the screws and bulls look the same so need to measure them as they are all different sizes.
Which is very time consuming.
Apart from that a the end product was great.son loves i
Bought this bas a Christmas present so it is not opened yet but got it at a really good price
Great slide. Easy enough to put up considering i done it in the dark on a sunday night ready to surprice my son in the morning. Bolts are a little fiddly, as they come in 17mm 20mm 25mm ect you have to sort the bolts out first before even looking at anything else. That was the only down side. On the plus side my son loves the slide and as we have a shared garden, my neighbours son loves it too.
Happy with the slide even though I havnt put it up ye
Bit of head scratching to start off with,a good tip is to measure each bolt and put in to groups,instructions need to be clearer with better diagrams,from opening the box to finishing the slide took me 3hrs,trickiest bit was joining the 2 bits of slide together underneath as you need small fingers to insert 2 bolts,end product is well worth the 30 we paid for it,strong & sturdy
Would buy again !!!
Took too long to put together but it’s really good. My little brother loves it! It’s sturdy and really makes the garden colourful.
It is a good sturdy slide when built, but I cannot expess enough how difficult this is to build. Please if you do buy this slide, measure all the screws prior to building as it will save you a lot of time when assembling. It took me and my Dad around 5 hours to build as the instructions are so bad!! Good luck!
This product is quite good value for money, only one issue i’d had with it. It was a proper nightmare to assemble. The instruction leaflet is useless, took me 2 afternoons to have it done. Kids love it, so all worth it.
The slide is great but assembly is tricky as others have mentioned. I recommend getting all the bolts and sorting them before you do anything else. You should have:
17mm x 5 (for use in Step 2 F1 / Step 3 F1 / Step 4 F1)
20mm x 6 (for use in Step 1 F1a)
25mm x 1 (for use in Step 4 F4)
30mm x 1 (for use in Step 4 F5)
35mm x 8 (for use in Step 2 F3)
35mm (Round Head) x 5 (2 for use in Step 5 F6 / 3 for use in Step 6 F6)
38mm x 4 (for use in Step 5 F7)
60mm x 2 (for use in Step 7 F9)
63mm x 4 (for use in Step 6 F8)
66mm x 2 (for use in Step 3 F2)
I ended up measuring them individually to make sure.
Also as there is a lot of alan key work I sawed off the long part of the alan key and put it in my electric drill. Combined with a wrench this sped things up a lot.
Good and strong but a little fiddly to put togethe
My daughter is two and loves the slide. Assembled it is very sturdy, good quality and reasonable value for the cost.
I have to agree with other reviews however that the assembly is less than straight forward. The instructions are not very clear and rely almost entirely on pictures, the screws are very similiar in size and the instructions do not clearly state the screws for each section. Several times I had to unattach sections and repeat with different screws. Great end product but be prepared for some assembly annoyance.
With better instructions this would have been a 5 out of 5
little girl loves this but not easy to build , took two ov us 3hours to build, diff size screws not easy to work out, got to last screw and it was too small so had to work out which to change on slide that had been done wrong
my grandchildren love this slide and it excellent value for the money.
Bought for our 3 year old. She loves it. Very sturdy. Not particularly easy to assemble though!
Not the easiest thing to put together so plan it out well and expect to take some time. When constructed it looks and performs well, my two year old loves it.
o es demasiado grande, tal cual las medidas, pero asi era como lo queria, pues no tenia mucho espacio pero al tiempo cumple su funcion y es bastante fuerte
A bit fiddly to put together, but very sturdy once completed. The children love it.
Nice sturdy slide! Only downfall is that it too us 5 hours to put it together as the instructions are less than helpful.
very complicated to assemble but worth it to see my granddaughter enjoying it.
This is a great sturdy slide and has so far survived a summer of children (ages 2-7) and 1 Grandad(!) playing on it.
The metal ‘frame’ is navy blue in colour, and the ‘T’ shaped base is not as thin as it looks on the photo (about 2cm). The rest of the metal work is thicker about 2.5cm.
It did take a good while to put up as there are some very tricky nuts and bolts to tighten underneath the slide, but it’s so sturdy compared to some it’s well worth it.
Bits were awkward to put together but great size and very sturdy
My daughter has had this as an early birthday present she is 2 in October and she loves this.
My kids love this slide. And It wasn’t too hard to build.
Very good quality item, though assembly instructions can be a little unclea
Excellent well built slide only downside was it 2 people to build!!
Grandson loves his own slide only downside was it did take a while to build but was definitely worth the money.
Good value for money. It is a pain to put together but worth it in the end .
Great slide, but it took my engine husband 3 hours to put together!
here was a problem with the couriers use but this was finally resolved when supplier contacted. as with previous reviews the instuctions were not good even with someone with a doctorate of engineering! bit the slide is brilliant really sturdy and the grandchildren love it.
it was one of the best bargains I found all summer and kids love i
I have given this 5 stars on the delivery time/price ordered on 19th august and arrived 21st august at 8am, amazing price at 27.01 with free delivery too. Not opened it yet as it’s put away as a Christmas present for my daughter.
great Hedstrom wavy slide but the assembly instructions are almost incomprehensible and I speak as a building estimator and general builder, used to reading complicated working drawings
grandson aged two is loving his birthday present. Took son-in-law 3 hours to put together but, he is very impressed how strong and sturdy it is.
Kids love it bit of a nightmare to put together but worth i
Relatively easy to assemble, sturdy combination of activities, exactly what we expected.
We bought this for our 2 year old daughter and she has hours of fun on it. It was also easy to make up too. Great slide and great value.
But all that aside, once it’s assembled it’s well worth the money. My 21 month old loves it and should get several years of enjoyment out of it. The slide actually looks much bigger in real life than it does in the above photograph. The chute is 6ft long and compared to similarly priced toddler slides, this is just so much more enjoyable and we will get much more mileage from it.
My 2 little 1s loved this bit hard in places to put togeter, but well worth the money
we have had one of these slides before so were familiar with setting it up we have had no problems with it.The grandchildren love it !!
Excellent my granddaughter is 21 months and loves it, she has no trouble getting up and down by herself
Gokd slide very soild but very fiddly to put togethe
This is an excellent slide, particularly at this price. As other reviewers have said, sort out the different bolt lengths before you start & it takes time to put together ( 2- 3 hours & an extra pair of hands are useful at the end ). You really should have a 10mm. ratchet socket or ring spanner, or it will take longer. As always, never tighten the bolts until adjacent bolts are in place. The three year old minimum child restriction can only be there because of the fasteners – irrelevant when constructed properly, Should put blocks under it if kept on grass, when not in use, to prevent rusting. Child heaven with a full paddling pool at the end!
We bought this as a replacement for a little tikes slide for my two year old, as the drop from the end of the slide is minimal (unlike little tikes where you have a good two inch drop which bruised his little bum!!). He loves it! Its sturdy enough for him to throw himself down in his usual hyper manner and fits nicely in our small garden.
The downside is it is a bit fiddly to put together and quite time consuming. A level of brute force is also required on occasion to get everything in line! Having said that, it can be done by one person!
My granddaughter of 20 months just loves her chute never been off it since it was set up by my daughter, she found it very easy to put together, apart from the instruction to attach steps and support bars together then attempt to screw this into the top of the chute,
I suggested that she take the step part off and just attach the top part which she found a lot easier once the top was fixed she attached the steps hay presto one complete chute and a happy toddler only reservation is that the steps are quite big for short legs another step would be easier but the would have to look at it.
Fantastic slide, took about 1.5 hours to setup, arrange all the screws from smallest to largest so that you don’t end up putting the screws in the wrong place. A bit fiddly to put some of the nuts in place and the instructions aren’t the best but managed to get it right first time. Used the tools provided which you just adequate for the job, an adjustable wrench will save your thumbs. Son absolutely loves it.
Great slide but as nearly everybody states its a nightmare to assemble the toy town tools with the kit are a waste of time the secret is to sort out the screws by size and I even measured them as well to make sure oh and use a socket set and ratchet as it will save to time it took me 3 1/2 hours to assemble but well worth it as my 2 year daughter can’t stop saying thank you for my new slide a well spent 31
A Birthday Present for our Grandson. He loves it as it is a little higher than the one we have in our Garden. It arrived on time and well Packaged. However my Son – who put it together – found it difficult with all the various sizes of Screws. However at the end of the day it is being well used.Recommend it.
Really good slide,very we’ll made ,abit fiddly to put up but not to hard..use a small socket set & longer Allan keys to make the job a lot easier.
Bought this slide for my 2 yr old. He absolutely loves it. It was abit tricky to set up, as the instructions on which screws to use wasn’t very clear. I do alot of DIY so am generally competent, but struggled abit with this. Once up though it’s very sturdy and after anchoring it down for extra safety my boy plays on it all day. Would recommend it for anyone who has energetic toddlers.
Once made a really good slide our 2 year old granddaughter loves it. It tock 2 of us 4 hours to make.
Easy to assemble – made a perfect 4th birthday present, has had lots of use and is hard wearing and durable.
Purchased this for the kids for their main xmas present. It took me 2 hours to build in total, and to be fair it was alot easier than what I was reading from the reviews.
The trick is to bunch the screws together and work out which size is for which step of the build.
All in all a very well built slide which the kids love,
Fully recommend this slide at this price!!
Produkt ist super ausgefallen….auf jeden Fall fr Kleinkinder zu empfehlen…. recht stabil…die Kleine ist gut zufrieden …
Kann man nur weiterempfehle
It was a little fiddly to put together but nothing drastic if you lay the parts out and follow the instructions, it didn’t take long and I was pleased with the strength of it. My Granddaughter loves it and the bright colour really stands out.
Took a while to assemble this chute but my little 2 year old cousin loved it! Very durable. Excellent value for money. Delivered within 2 days. Very happy.
Present for my Niece and is very good value for money. Children have hours of fun on it in the garde
Bought this garden slide for my grandson,it was so easy to put together and good value for money I am pleased with my purchase
My son loves it and spends hours on it so I LOVE IT also…….He is 3,5 years old and hope to play with it for another 2 years…..
It was difficult to put together, we spend 3-4 hours to build but it was worth it……
Thank you amazon!!!!!!
Very pleased with the robust nature of the slide but in agreement with other reviews the instructions were as much use as a chocolate teapot and it was quite difficult to put together.
I bought this for my grandson. It was packed well as I needed to transport it to Where they live. Before you put it together lay out all the screws and other bits and make sure you are familiar with which ‘number’ they are Asti is important. Put the wrong screw in the wrong place and you will be undoing what you have done to retrieve it, talking from experience!! Having said that it took about 2 hours to put together and my grandson loves it. The wave makes it different to other slides.
Bought this as a gift for two small children, age 4 yrs and 1 year – parents said it wasn’t too bad to assemble, but they are very good with flatpacks generally. It’s a very strong and sturdy slide, and has provided hours of fun for both. It’s proved difficult to tempt the younger child off it!
I quote a previous review: “You will need two midget hands, two normal hands, The patience of a saint and The ability to read the instruction booklet because it seems that It only makes sense to the person who made it themselves”
Great slide once together but I would not of purchased had I known the time it would take to do so, we managed 3.5 hours.. With a few choice words.
Quite tricky to put together, it took 4 adults 2 hours!! But worth it in the end, very sturdy and my 4 year old and 2 year old both love it!
I Have Purchased This Item For My Daughters 5th Birthday Even After Reading Reviews I Thought Seriously It Couldn’t Be That Bad…..
Boy Was I Wrong, It Too Me An Hour & 10 Minutes To Assemble On My Own And A Further 10 Minutes To Put The Last Two Handle Bolts In As The Holes Wasn’t Lined Up All That Well.
There Is No Labels Numbers Or Letters On Any Od The Bolts So Unless You Have A Tape Measure Then Your Stuffed & Have To Take A Guess.
Overall After Much Swearing & Banging About This Slide Is Very Sturdy & My Daughter Loves It So The Hour & 20 Minutes Was Worth It To See The Smile On Her Face.
Best price, safe,excellent quality and really good for children’s physical development and also the build their confidence.
found easy to put up,recomend sorting all bits and screws first before attempting to put up,took about 2 hours to do this so not to bad.slide is very sturdy,it is worth the money i payed
Ideal for our son and daughter – ages 1.5 and 3, sturdy design and the right height. Would trust my daughter to go on it.
…but we got there in the end and terrific value for money. Solid and seems good quality my grandson loves i
Well 1st very easy to set up, just need a brain 2nd kids love it and 3rd very strong
All 3 of our kids have a great time on it and will play on it all afternoon after school
Eso s, hace falta un poco de maa al montarlo, por la seguridad del producto.
Brought this around Christmas time and only just got round to putting it up 3 weeks ago. The assembly is fiddly and complex because of the 2 piece chute and stablizer bar. But to be honest you just need time & patience. The first thing I did was count all the screws out and measured them. Then I grouped them all… Trust me, it makes things easy. I followed the instructions, and 6 hours later it was done. Everything went together fine, It honestly took that long… But at least its right. Brilliant value, probably wouldn’t of paid full price though as its not that big. Only problem I encountered was the first metal chute support bar that ran horizontally across the underneath of the chute from the top, the bolts either side where very close to the plastic. Thought this might wear through eventually so repositioned underneath where the handle bars go through as its a less tighter gap and only about 4 cms further down. Perfect. I think overall it just takes patience, time, a brain and small hands. I’m not understanding some peoples ‘fustrating assembly’ comments… After all I’m female and I did it all by myself without getting into a flutter. No way would it suit up to 10 year olds, I reckon about 6-7 max.
By the way, excellent service & fast delivery by Amazon! 🙂
Took a while to assemble as instructions were poor, but once assembled the slide seems sturdy and my two year old loves playing on it- he can climb the steps himself. Should be fine for children up to 5 years. There is a bit of a sharp drop at the end, but I just put a cushion at the bottom and it stops any bumps well.
I bought this for my little boy. He loves it. But it took an age to set up. But for this I would give it 5 stars!
This is a very sturdy slide, even though it took 3 adults about an hour to put together… Still worth every penny 🙂
Bonjour , je viens de recevoir ce toboggan pour ma fille qui a 3 ans et demi et qui est ravie de son toboggan !!!!
De couleur orange avec deux marches , ni trop grand ni trop petit , elle s’amuse beaucoup
Livraison rapide et trs bon qualit prix
je vous le conseille !!!
Great Slide, it looks pretty stable and long standing. It is a bit hard to assemble it so if I were the designer I’ll try to make it easier/straight forward.
sinon produit de bonne qualit
difficile monter ! presque 2 heures
mais ma fille en est ravie
This slide is very good value for money but as a warning BE prepared to build. That aside it is a very sturdy build and one that will last a battering from the kids.
This is a durable fun slide which is great for our two year old. Like other people have said, it’s a bit fiddly to put together and on some bits you need small hands to do the bolts up! But once it’s together it’s solid and sturdy. Great garden slide
Lots of parts & even more screws, not difficult but better with 2 pairs of hands. If you haven’t got a 10mm 1/4″ sq drive socket with rachet, borrow one it will halve the assy time which for my son & I was about 50-55 minutes.Some of the screws vary in length by only 3mm, I recommend removing the nuts from the screws to be sure of the length of each as it’s not possible to be sure of the length with the nuts on. Having said that when assembled very happy.
Don’t try to assemble this slide in a hurry,make sure you set out all your bolt sizes first there are some bolts that are very similar in size when the nuts are on,all the parts are well numbered but some of the instructions are not so clear,make sure you have someone with small fingers when putting together the plastic part as there are two bolts in a very tight spot to get at,when you have the metal part together and ready to attach it to the plastic part make sure you fix the center bar first where there is 3 bolts that attach to the plastic as these can be difficult to insert if you leave to the end,the small spanner that comes with the slide is not much good so if you can have a socket set available it will speed things up a bit,be patient you will get there,
overall a good strong slide and will last for years Hedstrom Wavy Slide
Lengthy to build, but a durable and solid structure that my 2 yr old is really enjoying playing with. Great product at a really very reasonable price. Good delivery/packaging.
Bought this following the purchase of the Hedstrom swing which we were really pleased with – arrived very quickly and is just ideal for our three year old – a great buy especially in comparison to other slides on the market for similar age group!
My 3yr old loves playing with this slide but I think after a couple of years she will grow out of it and want a larger slide. Would suit children 3-5yrs. A good well designed slide for the money.
Assembly- very tricky, most components can sit in several ways and diagrams very poor.
Slide fab and well used already by 20 month old and 5 year old.
Overall worth the effort but have your swear box to hand!!
My children received a present this slide and I’m very happy. The slide is solid and stable and for my children for 2 4 and 7 years seems a good size, although for the oldest son will be fine for a short while, as the slide is not very long. The installation instructions are not very clear, we must think carefully designs and then screws all come together in an envelope, are 36, but 10 different types, so the first thing you choose to mount the screws and separate the code indicating that is given in the instructions. So after 2 or 3 hours you’ll have your slide and the greatest satisfaction is to see your children slipping!
i am warning you!! it is very tricky to put together, but once it is done, its a great fun.
stable, durable, great.
kids love it!!
have one!
Bought this for my Grandson for Easter. As soon as it was built he went straight on it without any fear of falling. It is very sturdy as it is a good make. We also have the swing by the same manufacturer. Was not easy to put together and took a few hours to sort out completely, but the result of seeing the look on my Grandsons face when he saw it was worth every minute. I would recommend this to my friends.
Good product will need skills to negotiate screws inside deep panel with no good access.No user friendly directions on direction of screws.
Great strong and very tough, but quite complicated on building it up from box, but if you have the patience to read the instuction like my man you will be ok.
Apart from that my kids love it even the teenager if they were given half a chance. Very much recommended.
