Help - the slide does not slip properly!
Slipping makes even very small children a lot of fun. The bigger the offspring, the faster it usually slides. Unfortunately not every slide is fast enough. However, it is usually quite easy to fix this problem.
Why does not the chute work properly?
There are different reasons why a slide is too fast or too slow. Regardless of the material of the sliding surface, the inclination is very important. If the slide is too steep, your children will slip relatively quickly. On a too low slide on the other hand leaves the speed to be desired. Plastic slides become dull on their own over time and need help.
How can I make a slide faster?
Do not reach the tool immediately if your chute is too slow. Maybe it's the clothes of your kids. Jeans, for example, often have an "anti-slip" effect. Let your kids slip in other pants. Sometimes this measure is enough.
Plastic slides become dull over time and slow. Here, a polishing of the sliding surface helps. You will find special polishes for plastics on the market, even silicone spray can be very helpful.
It may take some work and time, but the results are impressive. However, you should sand off deep scratches and grooves with sandpaper before polishing. Metal slides are much less vulnerable in this regard, which often helps with thorough cleaning.
Last help - the reconstruction
Have all the previous measures used nothing, then only remains a reconstruction of the slide left to make the sliding surface steeper. There are basically two options. Either increase the start / end or lower the front / lower part of the slide. If you take a close look at the slide, you will probably soon realize whether or which of these alternatives is feasible.

Tips
Before you change anything on the slide, let your children slip with different pants. Maybe the problem will be solved almost by itself.
