Big Pool Slides For Big Backyards

There are two leading pool slide manufacturers for large swimming pool slides: S.R. Smith and Interfab. Recently, S.R. Smith acquired Interfab, and it appears that some Interfab slides are no longer being made. If you’re interested in Interfab products, our Slides for Inground Pools Guide can help you identify which Interfab products are similar to S.R. Smith’s ones.

However, if you’re searching for a big pool slide and need help determining which one will fit your pool, we’ve compiled the information below. These large swimming pool slides require a spacious deck and sufficient depth.

Most of the slides listed are designed for residential use, but we’ve also included some options for commercial settings if that’s what you want.

The S.R. Smith pool slides for inground pools are more expensive than inflatable slides. That’s because these rigid slides are made to last for many years for endless summer fun. These slides have all passed the Consumer Product Safety Commission and are made to be compatible with saltwater pools too.
