Designer Joel Escalona is looking for producers for his Caracool playground slide, which can be made from fiberglass or from wood. I'd love to see this for sale in a big-box store...it would really up the ante for backyard playground equipment.
Thanks a lot for this blog, it's very difficult to find photos anywhere else on internet! By the way, I saw nothing about playgrounds for adults? Are you planning to write an article about it?
This is a pretty cool looking slide. I really like the little hang out space created beneath it. As the Ninja Turtles might say- its totally tubular!
I wonder if the slide itself is entirely functional though. What happens when you get to the end. I think that little lip would catch your feet and stop you from sliding. Has the slide been tested at full scale? Also, I wonder if there wouldn't be some benefit to putting ridges on the edge of the slide so kids can't fall off. I think this could be done in a way that doesn't sacrafice its style.
Even if I'm right about these problems(and I may not be), I think this design has a lot of potential with a few revisions.
This is an amazing blog! I'm always very inspired. Thanks for your posts!
