Or maybe its just about aesthetics? Would you want the slide facing your house or facing away from your house. The ladder is on the opposite side. Anyone have an opinion! Quick its being installed right now!
We just had the same argument, and settled on slide facing the house. No reason.<br><br><img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/lol.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="lol">
I'd say facing the house, so that it's easier to keep an eye on the kiddo(s). If it's facing away from the house, and they fall at the end of the slide, you may not see it.
You can see through the ladder, but you can't see through the slide. If the slide's on the near side, will you be able to see swings/sandbox/whatever?
