Good ideas! May have to use a bucket or trash can. Water not hooked up yet.

Cool. Maybe it is normal then

There is a video of the slide at the link above. It’s that near the bottom aspect of the top section of the actual slide part. It is very hard to capture. And hard for me to tell from pics and videos of others online have the same thing. I sent the pic and video to sr smith… but I’m still...

I am about to install their typhoon slide myself in the next week or so. I watched their install video and read the manual. Any tips and tricks from people who have done this? On another video, someone had a tip on how you should just install the mounting concrete anchors and locking washer...
