First determine whether the slide stands alone or shares a frame with another structure.
What to record
Take photos of the top connection, support legs, landing area, and any fasteners you can see without climbing. If the slide is attached to a larger playset, removing one part may affect the stability of the rest.
Access and scope
Ask the provider to assess the complete structure before work begins. Decide whether you want only the slide removed or the whole connected play area cleared.
Quick checklist
- Photograph all sides and connected parts.
- Measure the narrowest opening on the way out.
- Note buried supports and any suspected utility connection.
- Decide what should remain and what should be hauled away.
