Don't purchase this slide if you intend to use it in combination with a splash pool. Unlike other kids slides this one has (and needs) a strap at the bottom in order to hold the assembled pieces together. My mistake for not taking a closer look at the pictures. The strap makes it almost impossible to make it go over the sides of a splash pool.  The slide also connects at a very awkward spot so that kids' bottoms always have to go over a small gap. There are also rough edges at the bottom of the slide where my daughter badly scratched her foot when she lifted it to move. Overall not worth the money.
