Most inflatable water slides need a flat area about 20 to 40 feet long and 15 to 20 feet wide, with a few feet of clearance on every side and clear overhead space away from power lines and branches. Taller dual-lane slides need the most room, while a single slide or a kids slip-n-slide fits in a tighter yard.

When you measure, leave a walking path around the slide and a spot for the blower and hose. A mostly level surface is best so the slide sits square and the water drains the way it should. Not sure your space works? Send us a photo and dimensions and we will help you pick a slide that fits.
