How Should I Prepare My Yard?

Below are the steps you want to follow in order to prepare a safe area in order for your children to enjoy the full functionality of their playset. This information is also located on page 2-3 of your instruction manual.

Choose a level location for the equipment. This can reduce the likelihood of the play set tipping over and loose-fill surfacing materials washing away during heavy rains. 

Install and maintain shock absorbing material under and around play-set. Installation over concrete, asphalt, dirt, grass, carpet and other hard surface creates a risk of serious injury or death from falls to the ground.

Use the Recommend Safety Zone as seen on the diagram on the front page of your manual. Proper placement and maintenance of protective surfacing is essential. be sure to;

• Extend surfacing at least 6 feet from the equipment in all directions.
• For to-fro swings, extend protective surfacing in front of and behind the swing to a distance equal to twice the height of the top bar from which the swing is suspended.
• For tire swings, extend surfacing in a circle whose radius is equal to the height of the suspending chain or rope, plus 6 feet in all directions.

DO NOT allow children to play on the play-set until the assembly is complete and the unit is properly anchored.

It is also very important to do an inventory check before you begin installation, especially if you have hired an installation company or you have planned a day to have friends and family over to help! This way, if you are missing pieces or something has arrived damaged, you will be able to order replacement parts first!
