Slide - how to get hold of the sheet metal you slide on?

[Rolle85]

I wonder if anyone knows how to build an indoor slide that is to be connected to a bunk bed. It's mainly the sheet you slide on that I'm wondering where to find?

At the sheet metal worker, mechanical workshop, Stena steel, etc.

Otherwise, it works with board or plyfa. The whole family doesn’t need to go at the same time.

board or plyfa? Do you mean that you apply rock-hard clear varnish over it? Otherwise, you'll get splinters?

You won't get any splinters from oil-hardened masonite, if possible it's even smoother than sheet metal though

Best regards, fremax

ok.

In a couple of places, I have seen homemade slides with formplyfa as the sliding surface.
