Professional slide extension fitting - adding length to your climbing frame slide safely. Whether you've raised the platform or want a gentler slope, we ensure the extension connects securely and the slide remains safe.
More Slide, Same Safety
Children outgrow things fast. Raising the platform height or adding a slide extension keeps the climbing frame fun - but only if it's fitted properly with smooth transitions and secure connections.
💡 Pro tip: A longer slide means more speed at the bottom. Make sure the landing zone is clear and soft - consider adding bark or rubber matting.

🔧 DIY Tips
Fitting yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Drill/screwdriver
- Spirit level
- Appropriate fixings
- Tape measure
📐 Safe fitting
- Check extension matches your slide brand
- Follow manufacturer instructions exactly
- Ensure smooth transition at join point
- Check gradient isn't too steep

⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Lip at join point (trips children)
- Extension not secured properly
- Gradient too steep for age group

💡 Pro trick: Run your hand along the join from inside the slide - if you can feel any edge, a child's clothing could catch on it.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's a slide extension?
An add-on section that increases the length of your existing slide - useful when you've raised the platform height or want a gentler slope for younger children.
Will it match my current slide?
Extensions are designed to connect to specific brands. If you've bought a matching extension, we fit it seamlessly. Mismatched brands can sometimes work but may need adaptation.
Does the slide need adjusting?
Sometimes - the extension may change the angle. We ensure the whole slide sits at a safe gradient and the extension connects smoothly.
Can you fit wavy or tunnel extensions?
Yes - we've fitted all types. Wavy sections need careful alignment and tunnel extensions need checking for finger trap points.
