    I have been looking for a slide for my garden to be embedded into a slope.Anybody know where I can find one? It needs to be at least 15ft long so a one that comes in sections would be ideal. They only seem to be available in USA.

    You could probably get one made, is there any steel works near you?

    Cost would be huge. It doesn't have to be metal. Plastic would do

    Playground stockists would be your best bet, but whatever way you look at it, it's going to cost a fair whack!

    I'd be interested to know how much this costs.
    Not cheap I imagine

    Kompan stuff is thousands.

    Made up is your best bet. Steel may not be as much as you think.

    Hi REBELSAFC, did you have any luck finding a supplier? We're looking to do something similar in our garden but on a much smaller scale (off a rock which will be embedded in the ground).

    No. I have contacted a few "outdoor play" companies and none have what I'm looking for. There are a few commercial companies specialising in playgrounds but the price is huge. There seem to be companies in the US supplying them also. My wife is a bit of a "health and safety" zealot and is not too keen on the local steelworks option. If you find anything let me know.
