It's just a low spot in the ground. You can just find or dig a hole and lay the plastic over it.

make sure there is along run way of flat plastic @ the end other wise you hit the grass gong 10mph on your stomach... not fun. besides that giant slip-n-slides are great! try standing up the whole way. if you can make it standing up without the long runway to slow down you eather look realy cool because you run right out of the slid into a slight jog or you look like an idiot and have a mouth full of grass

my mom works at a small buisiness and a lot of the employees have kids so they had this huge slip-n-slid soap and all on a hill at her company party. most of the kids just jogged up and jumped on so after a few times of that i just went full speed and leaped on my stomach and it was fun for about the 30 yards of sheet plastic then the next5 on grass hurt

Ouch, I hate it when that happens. Agh, and then the itch like CRAZY! Especially because I'm allergic to grass. :roll: . Some shirts will allow you to slide faster than normal, and those protect you from the grass. Normal tee-shirts seem to work good sometimes, others not. For some random reason, the one that you happen to be wearing is always the one that doesn't work. It has something to do with the knit, but other than that, not sure.
