Abstract

A water slide system for easily converting a conventional backyard slide into a water slide. The inventive device includes an upper sheet formed to fit within the backyard slide, a pair of securing straps secured to the upper sheet for securing to the backyard slide, a pair of water tubes having a plurality of nozzles secured to opposing edges of the upper sheet for dispensing water upon the upper sheet, a transition member having a downwardly angled side, and a lower sheet. The lower portion of the upper sheet is securable to the transition member by a plurality of lengths of fasteners such as hook and loop fasteners. A plurality of gripping members are also provided for being secured to the steps of the ladder for preventing an individual from slipping within the wet environment. A plurality of securing loops are attached to the transition member and the lower sheet for receiving a plurality of stakes that are engageable within the ground surface. The upper sheet and the lower sheet are constructed of a plastic material that becomes extremely slippery when water is applied to the exterior surface. The transition member is comprised of an encasement and a plurality of spacer members thereby allowing adjustment of the vertical elevation of the transition member to fit various heights of backyard slides. Each of the spacer members has an angled edge for providing a smooth transition to the lower sheet from the upper sheet.
