Summer vacation is here—and with it comes the classic challenge: how do you keep kids entertained, cool, and having real fun without spending a lot?

How to Safely Install the Skibun from CIKALA

Setting up your own water slide is easier than you think. Just follow a few basic steps to keep everything secure and fun. The Skibun from CIKALA was designed specifically for this type of activity—waterproof, super slippery, and resistant to wear.

Setup summary: Choose a safe spot, lay out the Skibun, secure the edges, keep water flowing, and add a bit of baby shampoo for maximum sliding.

1. Choose the ideal location

A slightly sloped area works best. If your yard is flat, just keep a steady flow of water at the top.

2. Unroll the Skibun

Clear the ground of rocks, sticks, or anything sharp. The Skibun from CIKALA is thick and waterproof, but preparing the ground increases durability.

3. Secure the edges

Use stakes, strong tape, or weights along the sides. Avoid nails or sharp objects.

4. Add water and soap

Baby shampoo works best: it makes the slide smoother and is gentle on the skin. Place the hose at the top and let the water run.

Quick installation checklist:
  • Ground cleaned and leveled
  • Skibun stretched and secured
  • Hose placed at the top
  • Baby shampoo or mild soap applied
  • Adult supervision at all times
