Do-it-yourself stairs with a slide in your house. Children will be delighted

The staircase in the house, as a rule, has a design size for the total optimal depth and height of the degrees. But if an opening in the house is provided, but the staircase project has not been decided, then here are non-standard interesting ideas:

Ladder with a slide. A slide for your children, grandchildren. And you can go down for speed yourself. Although, the staircase is not the most convenient: with swivel steps, almost spiral. But if the depth of the steps is 20-30 cm (at least 20 in the middle of the step), then it will not create inconvenience. The main thing is that they are no higher than 20 cm.

The slide is a great joy for children. One of the most interesting games. If you have young and middle-aged children, they will definitely appreciate it. Well, if you already have grandchildren, then for them the slide is a huge motivation to come to visit. I think everyone will agree here.

How is it done? Typically, such curved geometry slides are made of hardwood or veneer wood. All handmade with a curved timber frame. Bend them after steaming in the chambers. For small workpieces, you can assemble a camera like this:

For large workpieces, the chamber is scaled up and a more efficient steam generator is installed. After softening, the workpieces are bent in the desired shape and fixed with clamps:

Collect on wooden dowels by gluing the joints. After assembly, they are sanded and covered with tinted and varnished coatings. But all this requires wood without knots, and preferably hardwood, mahogany.

Another option is to veneer a slide made from conventional steamed and curved blanks.

Veneering - gluing with a thin layer of wood from valuable wood species.

For veneering curved surfaces, the membrane, vacuum veneering technology is suitable, which is available to large-scale industries.

As is clear, you cannot make yourself without experience, a workshop and the necessary tools. The cost of even an ordinary staircase with wood trim can reach 500 thous. rub. And here is another slide with such complexity of manufacturing. Obviously the cost of a staircase with a slide with curved geometry will be golden.

A project of a similar staircase with a slide in 3D Max. Cost 59 $. It is difficult to make a staircase without a project and precise reference dimensions. But all this is for experienced craftsmen, workshops or even workshops.

There are other options for making it yourself. If you have straight marches and wide enough steps, then you can do this:

Such slides can be assembled from a chamber drying board (without knots) 50 mm thick. There is a lot of grinding work, but everything is real. The joints between the boards will be visible, which is not critical. Either using a ready-made furniture board or plywood - it's even easier.

Well, if the staircase has been in use for a long time, has a finishing finish, then in this case there is an option to assemble and install a slide:

All the same furniture board, plywood or kitchen countertop. There is less work to do with the countertop. It is already covered with a layer of plastic that is more scratch resistant than varnish. Price level:

It is necessary to fasten the corner elements to the base in the right places, which will act as fixers for the surface of the slide on the stairs. And also the element is screwed on the side handrailused for the railing:

We pre-paint it and the triangular stops in the desired color with enamel or varnish and screw them to the tabletop.

Folding slides for stairs are sold in the west:

The model is called SlideRider. We have never seen such on sale even in online stores. Would you buy such a slide in your country house to hear the laughter and delight of children or grandchildren?
