Perfect for the backyard.  My 10 and 11 year old girls are having a blast on this water slide. Very durable construction. Super easy set up. Right out of the box it took less than 15 minutes to have the slide set up and inflated. The whole thing blows up in two minutes. It has a little pool that collects water at the bottom of slide and has a spout to unplug for easy removal of water when done.  The slides come with two sheets that are attached with velco to protect slide when not in use. Nice bonus. And additionally an equally nice bonus is the storage bag it came with for storing the slide at the end of the season.  I found this to be well worth the money and the smile are priceless.
