how many barrels do you have? 20 ft is a really small slider, you should def make it longer. i made a 20 footer last summer and owned it in a couple time.

I have 3 Right now but i can get more any time I need them. It is only 20 ft long because i need to be able to break it down cause the lake is 15 min away.

oh... well in that case. i would just build either something really simple so its not a pain to hull or just build slider on tubes.

I just made a 20ft slider and 2 55 gallons worked perfect for me.

Have ne ideas on a box? I was thinking about 20 feet long 8 feet wide. Styrofoam bottom, plenty of caulking, treated wood and nails, and... Any other suggestions. Its for either wakeboarding or wakeskating.

I built a 40 foot slider and i started with 5 barrels and realized that it was way to top heavy. I then took two out and just had three in it and i still have to put water in them to balance it out. So i have three total in my 40 foot slider.

ive got ten 55 gallon barrells, so i should have way plenty to build a 30 ft. slider huh? i plan to build two 15 ft sections to hall on trailer to lake then put together and hopefully get to leave it on shore at a guys house that lives lake side.

I got my barrels at a carwash. Look at the carwashes with people that clean your cars. They tend to get the bubbles in the barrels!
