will this slide work for a 6 foot high platform?

We originally attached ours to a 6 foot platform, but we lowered it to 5 foot. It was too steep at 6 foot in my opinion.

Any vertical that can be hung can slide on this hardware. Just remember the bottom does not run on a track---unless you build one.

It will indeed, provided it's a high-quality slide mechanism... It is a bit heavy

Well, in the product description it says 6' to 9', so I'm guessing no. You would have to add a block of something in between to make it work.

if the bed is longer then 6 foot it will not work. bestop makes big ones tho

The midpoint of the pedal at the highest level is 15 inches; added to your height if fully erect is 89 inches; ceiling is 92 inches...should work fine.

I think they have a model for a 7 ft platform....but, the 5 ft is definitely for a 5 ft high platform. I added the 5 ft turbo slide to my kids existing swing set and the platform was probably about 5' 4" high.....didn't fit quite right so I built a little landing platform out of some scrap lumber to get the top to bottom distance closer to 5'. ( I hope that makes sense for you....I think it may be a bit confusing....bottom line, 5 ft...not 5-7).

Elizabeth,The platform sits right at 5ft. The slide you mention will work however, the angle which it sits I found it to be to steep

Unfortunately an inch won't be enough room above your slides. The striker sits below the soft close mechanism and is over inch long itself. I would say you need at least a couple inches of vertical space to install these.

I don't see why not. The platform is plenty big to accommodate 11.6 inches.

Actually, yes. I think that would work. You would want to consider the height of the bed because the bottom of the slide is a particular angle to meet the ground but I actually think any average bed would not have a problem. There are three bolts to secure the slide at the top and you do have to build your own brace for the middle of the slide. Last, just consider the footprint. I was a little surprised by how long the slide is and how far out it extends. Best of luck with the project. Sounds so fun.

Don't believe so, it would have to be elevated above the lip of the above ground pool, and then the pool would have to be at least 4' deep. The restrictions on this slide pretty much recommend ONLY on pool decks. I have mine mounted on a floating raft that I can move to deep water.

Yes, it is 8' long. I think the manufacturer suggests between 42" and 52" so that someone doesn't install it at too steep of an elevation and risk injury. I attached mine to a landing on a swing set that was right at 50" high or so, and that was perfect. I would think that anything above the recommended would be a little steep. The bottom of the slide isn't that high off of the ground (like a standard schoolyard slide), so unless you have a soft area at the end of the slide, I wouldn't make it too steep.

A ledge of 6 inches should not pose an issue. The support legs are adjustable.

Not sure. You might be able to stretch it out to take up the 5'8'' height. Don't think it would make it too fast. However, you could also just build up an 8 inch landing deck to help take up the extra space. This could be made in a 3 foot by 3 foot wooden platform that is 8 inches tall. Let the slide sit on this platform and bolt it to the platform. When the kids reach the end of the slide. They come to a stop anyway by the design of the slide, so you don't have to worry about them "shooting out the end of the slide" and dropping an extra 8 inches. I placed a 4x4 under mine to make up a little space. Works fine. Hope this helps. Not sure. You might be able to stretch it out to take up the 5'8'' height. Don't think it would make it too fast.

Hi, The Length of the Slide surface of the Spray N Splash 2 is approximately 6'6". The platform height is approximately 57".

I also needed it to work on a 5 ft platform. I have pea gravel on the playground so I basically placed more pea gravel at the foot of the slide raising it to the level that works. If you do not have the means to do something similar I wouldn't recommend this slide for a 5 ft platform.
