I know Clyde, and I saw that exact slide/stairs in his shop when it was partially constructed. I believe it was his first, but he has constructed quite a few similar stair/slide systems since then. Prior to construction, he made a scale model, as well as a 6 or 8 ft. mockup to determine the best angle on the slide.

i sent this link to my grdaughter recently:

“Flight of Stairs | How Many Flight of Stairs per Floor | Design Criteria”
https://thecivilengineerings.com/flight-of-stairs/
i’ll send all these pics to her tonight.

i’m not allowed to text during school hours. :lol: they’re all such a drag.

Shaker stairs have been a long time fav. So beautiful.

i’m not impressed with the drop from the slide to the floor. :evil: ouch.

The slide angle is carefully engineered to make the slide not too fast or too slow.
