Is there much slop when the slide is full extended? Does it come with a material clamp? It is not shown in the two pictures.

Well you've already received 2 responses but for what it's worth I did receive a material clamp with my saw. Similar in design & function as the one I use on my Porter Cable 12". As for any slop or undesirable movement when fully extended I can say that I haven't experienced any problems. If you don't have a bench top to place your saw, I would highly recommend the Dewalt DWX723 Heavy Duty Miter Saw Stand. Easy to set up, you can set up either side for material support or positive stop if you plan on cutting material the same length over & over again. It is absolutely solid & I've been impressed with the design. Hope this helps you. Good Luck.

If you plan on taking it down and putting it away during the week then it is a pain the arse. If you deinflate it, my advice is to cover it with a tarp. We left ours in place all summer using it every few days. Regrettably I didn't cover it. This is an awesome slide for family fun. My kids, under 120 pounds played on it for hours/days. Not so good when the big boys and me tried to use it, although it did hold up.

the one I got the slide that hooks to the string was too wide and when you crank it to cock it the slide cut into the string. the crank part worked fine, so I took the slide from the hand puller and put on the crank and it worked fine. but did not like that set up, it was noisy. and in a hunting situation it was very clumsy and just a pain in the butt. good at the bench but not in the field

It comes with a clamp. I have it clamped onto a table that is one inch thick and I have never had to adjust it.

Wait. Sorry. the exit off the slide is open. There is nothing to close off that opening. the other exit has a mesh closing with Velcro.

There is a screw on the slides that allows you to lock the slides in place, I think the folks having trouble with the slides have not made certain that this screw is all the way loose. Mine was not and the slide was a bit stiff. Once I loosened the screw....smooth as glass!!

Yes the standard size slide works perfect. I haven't tried any negatives but it works with them as well.

maybe the slide is not going back far enough. It really takes a lot of muscle to get it all the way back. We finally gave up on it and gave it to our son, who is stronger than either my husband or I. Unfortunately we diddled around with it until it was too late to return it.

There is no large clamp and there is no method to put it into a ceiling beam. My husband is a building contractor so he rigged it up but it didn't last. Also, the "fabric" stretches from weight and it was purchased for a 13 year old girl. Sorry, but I wouldn't buy it. This was replaced with a much better quality item within six months. If you buy it, be sure you have a carpenter to do the installation.

I use a ravelli video tripod which is heavier then a standard light weight unit. A better alternative is to use 2 light weight tripod stand that have a thread on the head. If you look on the under carraige of the slide you will see multiple holes. You can attach 2 stands, one on the left and the other on the right. This will give you a stable and easily adjustable stance.

You can adjust to any width and I put a 16" deep piece on. No problem. But if you don't square up the slides exactly, they will fight you. Just can't seem to get them to glide smooth.

I attached it so it looks just like the picture here. It will adjust to whatever height you need. I think it slides, to adjust, but if yours doesn't just undo it and adjust it that way. I keep mine stationary so I can't remember if it slides but I think I remember that it does. Sorry, I haven't used it in a while...hope this helps you out.

extend the slides until you can see two black plastic tabs that you squeeze together. Once you do that, the slides will come apart. It's hard to explain without a picture, so if you still need help, let me know and I'll take a picture to attach.

Yes it does, but like the other posters stated, you may have to re-seat the staple slide. No biggie.

The only thing the holder does is align the slides to the sides, a simple bit of cardboard that you know is square will work. Put it against one side, and put the slides against it, and you have the same thing. In the past I've seen third party holders, that I can't seem to get the search term right to find it now in the US, but they seemed to be >$40 if my euro to dollar conversion rate is accurate.

I don't have the slide on mine, it does not effect the stability of the bed. However the railing is not full length so you have a space the size of the slide on the end where the slide should attach.

It is very sturdy, but not sure about a slide. It holds 3 good size adults without problem
