Maintenance Instructions:
1. Check all nuts and bolts twice monthly during the usage season and tighten as required.
(But not so tight that you crack the wood) It is particularly important that this
procedure be followed at the beginning of each season.
2. Oil all metallic moving parts monthly during the usage period.
3. Check all coverings for bolts and sharp edges twice monthly during usage season to be
certain they are in place. Replace when necessary. It is especially important to do this
at the beginning of each new season.
4. For rusted areas on metallic members such as hinges, brackets, etc. sand and repaint,
using a non lead-based paint meeting the requirements of Title 16 CRF Part 1303.
5. Inspect wood parts monthly. The grain of the wood sometimes will lift in the dry season
causing splinters to appear. Light sanding may be necessary to maintain a safe
environment. Treating your Product with protection (sealant) after sanding will help
prevent severe checking/splitting and other weather damage.
6. We have applied a waterborne translucent stain to your unit. This is done for color only.
Once or twice a year, depending on your climate conditions, you must apply some type
of protection (sealant) to the wood of your unit. Prior to the application of sealant,
lightly sand any “rough” spots on your set. Please note this is a requirement of your
warranty.

Outdoor Product Assembly Manual FAQs:
1. Is the wood treated with chemicals? Backyard iscovery uses 100% Chinese Cedar wood
which is naturally bug resistant, decay and rot resistant. To help ensure your families
safety, our wood is completely chemical free and we do not use pressure-treated wood.
The stain we use is a top coat using a water-based product that is for appearance only.
2. How often should the product be stained? Backyard iscovery recommends the product be
stained once each year. A water or oil based stain can be used at the customer’s discretion.
3. Why does it seem that my product is developing cracks? Wood is a natural material; no two
pieces are exactly alike. Each piece has its own characteristics and personality and reacts
differently to climate changes. When any wood product is exposed to the elements, it
develops “wood checks”. A check is the radial separation of the wood fibers running with
the grain of the wood. These are caused by the varying temperature and moisture
conditions. A check is not a crack – it does not affect the strength or durability of the wood
or structural integrity of the product.
4. o Backyard iscovery products come with a warranty? Yes. All Backyard iscovery
products carry a 1-year replacement warranty on all parts for manufacturer’s defect. Our
wood carries a 5 year warranty on rot and decay as well. Please see warranty details for
more information.
5. What is the best way to get started assembling the product? Backyard iscovery
recommends taking all the parts out of the boxes and arranging them by part number
before you begin any assembly. This will not only allow faster assembly, but will also
identify any parts that may be missing or damaged so they can be replaced before
assembly. If parts are missing or need replacement, go to
www.swingsetsonline.com/support.aspx and follow the prompts to order them. Next, read
the assembly manual and get the tools ready for the job as recommended in the manual. If
the assembly manual is lost or misplaced a new one can be printed from Backyard
iscovery’s website: www.swingsetsonline.com .
6. The 2”x4” boards do not measure 2”x 4”. Why not? In the U.S. it’s common practice to
describe lumber dimensions using the rough cut sizes from the sawmill and not the finished
dimensions. Retailers, home stores, etc. all use this accepted practice for describing lumber
dimensions. However, Backyard iscovery products are designed and constructed using the
actual dimensions so everything fits properly and remains so during the life of the product.

Important Assembly Notes
1) While assembling unit, take time before and after each step to make sure unit is level. If unit is
not level, assembly will be difficult and improper assembly may result. Extra care must be taken to
insure the unit is square.
2) Pay close attention to the ITEMS NEEDED for each step. They can be a valuable aid when
sorting your wood and hardware. Assembly will be made easier if items are sorted by step.
3) Pay close attention to make sure you are using the correct hardware in the correct step. Using
incorrect hardware may result in improper assembly.
4) Whenever a T-nut is used, follow these directions. Place T-nut in pre-drilled hole. Tap in with hammer.
Place bolt with washers in the opposite side. Hand tighten to make sure the bolt is in the T-nut.
DO NOT over tighten.
5) Read the each of the steps thoroughly. The written steps may include important information not
shown in the illustrations.
