The idea is to add a climbable slope next to the slide.

Building stairs seems like it would be a hassle, so this could be helpful when making stairs is difficult.

Also, being able to climb directly onto the slide from the pool would probably be a fun feature for the kids.

When building it, make the frame slightly wider than the slide and lay boards over it to create the slope.

For safety, you can lay down a mat like artificial turf on the slope to prevent slipping and add handrails as well.
