Choosing a slide (gave up on 90 degree corner idea)

[Poolnerdgrandma]

So our littles still love the little tykes slide that we are using as a pool slide, but they'll outgrow it soon. The side of the pool where I'd like to install a real pool slide has a pretty narrow patio. One thought is to have the "stair" portion of the slide run along one side of the pool, and then have the slide curve 90 degrees around the corner of the pool. I KNOW I saw a picture of a slide that was configured that way a while ago, but now (of course) I can't find it. Attached is a VERY rough sketch of what I'm talking about.
Can anyone point me to a slide like this-ish?

would this work?

Just like puppies, be nice if they could stay cute forever right

How narrow, 3', 4', 5', etc? Can you post pics of your full pool area?

have the slide curve 90 degrees around the corner of the pool.

Based on your drawing, you have a 180 degree turn. I have never seen a residential pool slide do that. Even if you found a slide to do a 180 degree turn, I can't imagine it would ever require anything less than 4' of space, probably more like a minimum of 6', otherwise the turn would become a pinchpoint an anyone who has any height at all would get stuck.

Do you know how many "rough" sketches of my pool I drew when we were planning it, ! The two primary manufacturers of pool slides I'm aware of are SR Smith and Global Pool Products. Love the idea of mounting the spiral slide above somehow, but not sure that would solve your problem as kids get bigger, as it mentions ages 3-10. I have 4 kids ranging from ages 4-12. I just installed the SR Smith Typhoon that all of them use and they love it! Even our neighbors who have a pool and their kids (ages 18-24) love it; heck, I'm 38 and I love it! I have a 6' wide deck it's mounted on, but you can mount it on as little as 4' if you don't mind walking around/through it. It also doesn't have to be plumbed in, you can just attach a garden hose.

I think this is what I was looking for. If positioned this way, it might work. I need to measure the deck and check with a supplier to get the actual footprint of the ladder and flume.

TurboTwister Footprint

Check the link above, gives you the turbotwister footprint. It's 6'6" x 13'6", but if you position it around the corner of your pool you can shorten that 6'6" up a bit, the slide will just come out at a diagonal to the pool wall instead of perpendicular.
