German term or phrase: Anbaurutsche
This is part of a website i am translating on slides - there are different classifications such as Hangrutsche, Abenteuersrutsche and leiterrutsche. However, the category Anbaurutsche i am not sure how as to translate - extension slide sounds strange to me but I could be wrong.

Any help would be much appreciated

agree  pj-ffm: I think both "add-on" and "attachable" work equally well here (as per my explanation on Ramey's post).

agree  pj-ffm: Without a picture, I'm assuming this is a slide, without ladder or its own supporting structure, that can be optionally attached to an existing structure, e.g. a climbing frame or similar.
