Choosing the shape of your brand new pool side can sometimes be a difficult decision. A straight slide, a gentle curve, and a more elaborate twisting design each bring something unique to your backyard. The right choice depends on your pool layout, available space, and the look and feel you want to create. Dolphin Waterslides is here to help! We will guide you through the process so you can land on a slide design that fulfills your backyard dreams.
Straight Pool Slides: A Classic, Streamlined Look
Straight slides offer a simple, direct path into the pool. Their clean lines work well for homeowners who prefer a straightforward design without additional turns. Dolphin Waterslides offers a 19-foot Speed Slide, an inline pool slide designed for an elevation of 8 feet 4 inches and best suited to a platform built or selected for the slide.
This style is worth exploring when you have the elevation and layout to accommodate it. Its streamlined appearance also makes it a distinctive feature without adding multiple curves to the design.
Curved Slides: Adding Shape and Personality
A curved waterslide introduces a different visual element while changing the direction of the ride. It also offers more flexibility when planning around the pool and surrounding backyard features.
Dolphin’s one-piece water slide collection includes the 10-foot Little Dolphin in both left and right turn configurations, along with 15.5-foot Dolphin models. These examples show how even a single turn creates different design possibilities. Take into consideration the direction of the curve when choosing where the slide will enter the pool and how it fits into the surrounding space. One-piece slides are affordable, visually appealing, and extremely adaptable, making it a crowd favorite option.
Twisting and Custom Designs: More Room for Creativity
Looking for something beyond a traditional straight or turning slide? Custom configurations offer additional design possibilities. Dolphin’s custom water slide projects showcase how slide designs can be developed around specific pool plans, elevations, and existing hardscape.
The company works from detailed renderings, pool plans, and even hand-drawn sketches. Custom design options also include different slide selections, allowing the design to account for the project’s individual requirements.
