One of the primordially Russian traditional amusements is downhill skiing. Even during the reign of Catherine II, this method of entertainment became widely known, since the largest ice slide in the world was created, more than one and a half kilometers long. In order to build an ice slide in your yard, you don't need a lot of space and physical exertion.
Instructions
Step 1
The first step is to collect a large amount of snow. The height and length of the slide will depend only on your desire. The optimal height can be considered to be about the height of a person - about 180 cm. It is high enough to gain good speed and enjoy riding, and rather not dangerous if accidentally falls to the side. Be sure to make sure that the end of the ramp does not go out onto the roadway, so as not to put the lives of children at risk and unnecessary litigation.
Step 2
In addition to the height, the slope of the slide is also important. It is known from physics and ballistics textbooks that the best option is an angle of forty-five degrees, since there will be maximum acceleration and gliding safety. You should also take care of the steps on the opposite side of the slide and make the sides not exactly vertical, but at an angle of at least twenty degrees relative to the vertical axis. This will minimize the likelihood of injury in the event of an accident.
Step 3
When the snow is collected, the height is collected, the descent is formed, the steps are cut, then you need to tamp the snow, since with the subsequent flooding with water, the slide will give less shrinkage and retain the height and the specified configurations. You can choose the length of the descent yourself. After the end of the slide, let it brew at least overnight so that the ice gets stronger and the snow grabs. And have fun.
