My Grandson wanted a bigger side so I got this slide after a lot of looking.  I was going to build a 6 ft ladder to mount the Slide to but ended up building  a Fort  4ft X 4ft x 6ft high and attached the Slide the to the top of the Fort All the Grandkids really love the new Slide and Fort. The curve is great and really fast. Instructions are easy to follow  Really Great product. Well built and is everything you read about it  I would recommend this product to anyone
