​How the Material Slide System Works

​Gravity-Driven Transport: A smooth, inclined surface—such as corrugated metal or plastic piping—is positioned from the top of the slope to the target area.

​Shovel-to-Slide Loading: Instead of filling a wheelbarrow, a worker at the top simply shovels material directly into the top of the chute.

​Continuous Flow: The material slides down the incline and accumulates in a neat pile at the bottom, ready for immediate spreading.

​Multi-Worker Coordination: One worker loads the top, while another can manage the pile or wheelbarrow transport at the bottom, creating a seamless assembly-line effect.

​Low-Cost Setup: This system can be built using scrap materials found on-site, such as roofing sheets or large-diameter PVC pipes.


Pro Tips for DIY Chutes
​Maximize Your On-Site Efficiency

​Optimize the Angle: For heavy materials like gravel, a 30-45 degree angle is usually sufficient to keep the flow moving without causing the material to fly off the end.

​Overlap Your Sections: If using multiple sheets of metal or pipe, ensure the top piece overlaps the bottom one so the material doesn't catch on the seams.

​Secure the Base: Use stakes or heavy stones to anchor the bottom of the slide. The weight and impact of moving gravel can cause the chute to shift or slide out of position over time.

​Keep it Dry: Wet soil or clay can stick to the slide and cause a "clog." If the material is damp, a quick spray of silicone lubricant or even a light dusting of dry sand can keep things sliding smoothly.
