The BeyondTent 16' Bubblegum Lightweight Slide is a sweet-looking, high-performance inflatable that packs a serious ride into a compact single-lane footprint. Standing 16 feet tall with a 24 ft run, this bubblegum pink unit delivers a longer, faster descent than most compact slides on the market — then splashes riders into the included pool at the base for a refreshing finish. Its slim 11.5 ft width makes it one of the easiest slides to fit into tighter yard layouts without sacrificing ride excitement.
Built from commercial-grade PVC vinyl and powered by a reliable 1.0HP blower, this unit is engineered for operators who want a lower price point without cutting corners on build quality or fun. At approximately 180 lbs, it's one of the more portable slides in the BeyondTent lineup — easy to load, unload, and set up solo in under 15 minutes. A 16-point anchor system keeps it locked in place on any grassy or packed-soil surface throughout the event.

Frequently Asked Questions: 16' Bubblegum Lightweight Slide
1) What ages is this slide designed for?
This slide is designed for children 5 years and older with a minimum height of 5 ft per rider. Adult supervision is required at all times. Riders should be in good health and free from back, neck, or heart conditions before use.
2) Is this a single-lane or dual-lane slide?
This is a single-lane slide. Only one rider may use it at a time. Its narrower 11.5 ft width makes it an ideal choice for smaller yard spaces or venues where a full dual-lane unit won't fit comfortably.
3) Can this be used as both a wet and dry slide?
Yes. The included detachable pool attaches at the base for a wet splash landing. Remove it for dry-slide operation at venues where water isn't available or permitted. Both configurations work with the same inflatable unit.
4) Does it come with a blower?
Yes. A 1.0HP commercial blower is included. It runs continuously to maintain firm, safe inflation throughout the event and plugs into any standard 120V outlet on a dedicated circuit. Do not share the circuit with other high-draw appliances.
5) How long does setup take?
One person can complete full setup in 15 minutes or less. Unroll on a flat surface, connect the blower, inflate for approximately 5 minutes, drive all 16 anchor stakes, and then fill the pool if using for wet play.
6) How do I fill and drain the pool?
Fill the pool with a standard garden hose before the event. After use, drain completely and allow to fully dry before packing. Invert the pool to make sure no water is trapped inside before folding and storing.
7) What surface can I use this on?
Best on flat grass or packed soil where ground stakes can be driven securely. Use 40 lb+ sandbag anchors on sandy surfaces. Avoid concrete or asphalt. For wet use, ensure water drains away from all electrical connections.
8) What are the electrical requirements?
The 1.0HP blower requires a standard 120V dedicated circuit. Use a 12-gauge heavy-duty extension cord if needed, no longer than 50 ft. Keep all electrical connections well away from the pool and any wet surfaces during operation.
9) How do I anchor the slide safely?
Drive all 16 included stakes fully into the ground at a 45-degree angle away from the unit. On sandy or soft surfaces, substitute 40 lb+ sandbag anchors. Never operate with any anchor point unsecured — even a single loose anchor is a safety risk.
10) How do I deflate and store the slide?
Drain and detach the pool first. Turn off and unplug the blower, then open the deflation zippers. The unit deflates in approximately 5 minutes. Fold lengthwise, roll toward the blower port, and store in the carry bag only once all surfaces are completely dry.
11) How do I clean the slide after use?
Wipe all surfaces with mild soap and water using a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly and air dry completely before deflating and packing. Mold and mildew can form within 24 hours on a damp packed inflatable — always store dry.

The customer is responsible for all round-trip shipping costs to and from our warehouse for any warranty inspection or repair. Zippers are explicitly excluded from this warranty.
