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.

Absolutely marvellous just don’t build it in your lounge and then realise you have to take it apart to get it into the garden!
Una vez montada es muy bonita y til. El montane cuesta bastante. El Manual tiene Dibujos pequeos y no es muy claro.
Very good item easy to assemble and very sturdy overall very happy with the purchase
I had read the other feedback and people had issue with the screws. So I took time at the start to get them all in little pots with each size in. Problem solved!
Took a couple of hours to assemble , would have been easier if I had someone to help for a couple of bits (just to hold them up while I got the screw in) but not an issue really.
Great value for money I think.
Spent 20 minutes measuring the nuts & bolts as they come all mixed up. You’ll need a ratchet as the tools provided will take you forever to tighten the bolts up, some in awkward positions.
Went together well and really sturdy.
After reading other reviews I was worried my husband built the slide within the hour on his own no problems at all
Muy buen tobogn. Cuesta montarlo, se necesitan dos personas y tiempo. Pero una vez montado, muy estable y bonito. Al nio de 2 aos le encanta.
A lovely product once up but quite difficult to follow instructions and assemble
The instructions could do with abit of attention as the diagrams are hard to determine the difference between the length of bolts and they came all in the same bag some time findimg the correct bolt etc
But once everything is complete my daughter absolutely loves i
It is a good and durable slide that i bought for my nieces and they have loved using it so far. It is a pain to build though and the instructions aren’t really a lot of help at all!! I would recommend a second pair of hands and eyes when you actually build it, I was on my own it was difficult to get some of the parts together by myself and working out where items actually should be from the instructions was also difficul
Good slide just not as big as I had expected
Assembly I takes some time until we found each piece numbered
Really good product, was a bit awkward to assemble with the placement of the fasteners, but works really well for my 2 year old.
Good sturdy slide, kids will love it.
Bit fiddly to put together but worth it in the end.
Assembly instructions vague…a lengthy two person process spoils a good produc
Took 2-3 hours to put together instructions not very clear
But once together very good
Great slide perfect for my son to have fun in the garde
After putting together which was a task lol. Grandchild having hours or fu
So glad I got this slide perfect height very sturdy and great quality
Great just right for our two year old grandchild and matches swing.
It is a lovely slide but my husband and my dad took over 4 hours to put it together the instructions are rubbish and not helpful at all. Once up it is great but it is painful to put up!
I purchased this slide in yellow (thinking yellow will stay cooler) because I thought it would be perfect for my toddler and family. It had a price drop and came to $86 after tax. This price was comparable to stand alone slides for his age group (but they are a little steep for him.) I thought it would be cool to attach it to our deck, which is a lower slope, since he is under two. (We WILL be adding a safety hand rail to our deck stairs.) When I was a kid, I always dreamed of having a slide instead of stairs.
The slide came with directions but no hardware. The insert said that the weight capacity was much lower than the 250 LBS advertised online. I called the company and they said they would email me the “updated schematics” which had the 250 LB capacity. I was worried I received a knock off, or cheaper version. I am not sure I didn’t. My husband screwed wood to the bottom of the slide and made two stakes to attach to that to secure the ground beneath the slide as directed for stability. He dug deep enough to bury part of the landing as well (as directed). We installed the same brand safety handles Safety Handles in the front and back (his older friends will probably try to climb the slide) these were excellent quality and cost about $11 for a pair.
The slide is incredibly flimsy. I am 5ft 1″ tall and 125 lbs (a junior size 5) -the slide bowed quite a bit ( and my hips were a struggle to fit). The slide is meant for small children. My 220 husband attempted the slide. It held, so it “will hold” but it is not very stable so I feel the claims are very misleading. It can hold the weight, yes, but a five foot tall person (me) can not fit on the slide. I was hoping with the higher weight capacity (250 LBs) it would be a functional slide so we could slide (on occasion) with our toddler or our 13 year old would be able to use it and play with him. We will have to add supports to hold the 13 year old’s 85lb weight comfortably (which we will do). Now is this because we have it at a less steep incline? Possibly? I am not an engineer… however the slide did not meet my expectations.
I still highly recommend it, but ONLY if you know what you are getting. You need to have the skill set to reinforce it if it is for anyone other than a small child, it is NOT a family slide. With this said, it is really good for the price (at the $86 I got it for) compared to other toddler slides, however, I would have paid more for a slide that was more durable and allowed me to fit on it width wise. Instead now I have another DIY project for a slide that’s not family appropriate ( but great for “littles”).
Not as big as I thought my 3 year old grandson only just fits on it not going to get much use from it but good quality slide for money
I bought this for my son for his 3rd birthday. This is a great safe sturdy slide for younger children. My children have had a lot of enjoyment from it, however I expect that they will have outgrown it by age 4 or 5. I liked the vibrant colour, which is why I chose this one over others available, and it has not faded in the (British!) sun. It’s still in good condition after extensive use in the garden and been kept outside throughout. Super fast delivery as usual from Amazon too.
