A bunnings slide is a type of outdoor play equipment sold at Bunnings Warehouse, designed primarily for children to climb up and slide down safely. In simple terms, a slide turns your backyard into a fun, active space — whether it’s a standalone plastic slide, a timber playset with an integrated slide, or a modular climbing frame with accessories attached. A Bunnings slide is built for durability, Australian outdoor conditions and family‑friendly fun.
Here’s why Australians love it: it combines exercise, outdoor play and imaginative fun. Kids burn energy, improve coordination and socialise — all while parents enjoy stylish, functional outdoor spaces.
At Bunnings, slides come in several styles and materials to suit different ages, spaces and tastes:

Lightweight, weather‑resistant and easy to install
Often with gentle slopes for toddlers and early years play

In simple terms: whether you want a basic slide for toddlers or a feature playset slide that becomes the heart of outdoor entertaining, Bunnings has a solution.
Choosing the right slide depends on space, age of children, materials and safety. Here’s a clear, actionable guide:
Small courtyard? A compact standalone slide works best.
Larger backyard? Consider a timber playset with an integrated slide.
Toddlers: gentle slopes, low height, easy access steps
Older kids: taller slides with curves, attached climbing structures
Plastic: lighter, quick to set up, easy to clean
Timber: long‑lasting, premium look, blends with landscape
Metal: tougher, but may need shade or cover in hot Aussie sun
Non‑slip ladder steps
High side rails
Soft fall surfacing underneath (rubber mulch, sand, turf)
Slides with easy assembly save time
Timber slides may need weather treatment or sealant
UV‑stabilised plastic handles long sun exposure
Timber with proper sealant lasts decades
In simple terms: match the slide to your yard, your kids’ developmental stage and your long‑term outdoor design goals.

Here are the biggest trends shaping how Australians choose and style slides in 2025:
Backyards are becoming multifunctional — slides feature within landscaped play gardens, with turf, seating and shade structures.
Timber, muted greens and sandy neutrals are taking over outdoor play — a shift away from bright primary colours to design‑safe palettes.
Play equipment that grows with the kids — start with a slide, add swings and climbing ropes later.
Higher emphasis on shade sails and pergola covers over slides to keep surfaces cool in hot Aussie summers.
Materials with low environmental impact — recycled plastics and sustainably‑sourced timber — align with eco‑friendly outdoor spaces.
The main reason Australians love these trends is they make outdoor play more beautiful, safer and longer‑lasting — connecting play with overall landscape design.
Here’s how to style your backyard when you add a Bunnings slide:
Separate play, dining and relaxation areas with turf, pavers and outdoor rugs so each area feels intentional.
Use planters from the Florabelle Collection to soften the slide perimeter and integrate plant life.
Choose natural colours — timber, sandstone, eucalyptus greens — to tie the slide into your garden narrative.
Install garden path lights and string lights from Café Lighting & Living so the space works after sunset.
Add durable outdoor lounges from Emac & Lawton near the play area for parent comfort.
Use Zaffero pieces for outdoor meals — keep snacks and refreshments close by.
In simple terms: coordinate play equipment with décor and functionality so your backyard feels like an outdoor living room — stylish, safe and playful.
