All posts and pipe are prepared with enough length to accommodate 12" deep impact
attenuating ground cover. Component Playgrounds recommends that 12" of impact
attenuating surfacing be placed under and around the playground and any adjacent
structures. Playground equipment should not be installed over hard surfaces such
as concrete, asphalt or grass.
If the specifications on your project call for less ground cover, you may simply cut the
pipe to the desired length or you may dig the holes deeper. Please refer to the ASTM
Designation: F 1487 - 05 Standard Safety Performance Specification for Playground
Equipment for Public Use, or you may also refer to the CPSC guidelines for public and
commercial playgrounds for more information regarding surfacing requirements.

Safety and Clearance Guidelines
For more information regarding public playground safety and your responsibilities as the
purchaser, owner, manager or installer of this equipment, please contact the US Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and obtain the newest version of the Handbook for Public
Playground Safety. This handbook is available by visiting www.cpsc.gov, or by calling
Component Playgrounds at 1-877-530-0222.
The entire area under and around the playground must be covered with some form of impact
attenuating ground cover. The surfacing selected must have a critical fall height rating value of
at least the highest designated play surface on the equipment. The critical fall height rating of
the selected material must be in accordance with
A.S.T.M. Standard F1292. You may order A.S.T.M. Standard F1292, Standard specification for
impact attenuation of surface systems under and around playground equipment, by contacting
the American Society for testing and Materials (A.S.T.M.). by calling 610-832-9585, or by
visiting their web site at www.astm.org.
• Component Playgrounds recommends that a minimum of 12" of proper impact
attenuating surfacing be installed prior to opening the playground for use by children.
• Component Playgrounds also recommends that a regular maintenance program be
implemented.
• We also recommend that the equipment be regularly and properly maintained and that
the ground cover remains at the recommended depth and the area is kept clean from
debris or other items that may present a safety hazard.
Clearance guidelines are important to help reduce the risk of congestion on the playground and
to reduce the risk of accidental impact with adjacent structures, other children or the edge of the
playground pit. Please refer to the CPSC Handbook for Public Playground Safety for more detail
of the safety guidelines.
• There should be a minimum fall zone surrounding the structure of no less than 6'.
• Slides must have a use zone from the exit of the chute equal to the deck height that the
slide is mounted from. This distance must be no less than 6' and does not need to
exceed 14'. The use zones for slides must not overlap the use zone of another
component.
• Swings have a use zone that extends to the front and rear of the top rail pivot point a
minimum distance of twice the height of the top rail. This measurement is made from the
pivot point to the level of the protective surfacing. The swings also require a minimum
distance of 6' from the sides of the structure.
• Multi-axis swings have a use zone that extends 360 degrees from the pivot point for a
minimum distance of 6' plus the length of the suspending members.
• Most other components on the structure will require a minimum 6' clearance from the
edge of the pit, edging or adjacent use zones.
• We recommend that parts or individual playground components not approved or
manufactured by Component Playgrounds, should not be attached or added to the
playground.

Supervision Guidelines
Playgrounds that are designed, installed and properly maintained in accordance with the safety
guidelines and standards can still present hazards to children in the absence of adequate adult
supervision. Component Playgrounds recommends the following guidelines for supervision of
children while the playground is in use.
• Children should not use this equipment without adult supervision.
• Children should be directed to age appropriate activities. Not all equipment is
appropriate for all children who may use the playground.
• Pre-school children require more direct supervision than older children.
• Do not permit the use of wet, icy, or snowy equipment as slips, falls or loss of grip may
occur.
• Constantly observe the children while at play. Note play patterns and possible
hazardous play or overcrowding. Take immediate steps to stop hazardous play or to
control overcrowding.
• Children should not be allowed to jump off equipment when dismounting, as it is a
dangerous practice to jump on or off playground equipment.
• Children should not wear loose clothing, hoods, bicycle or other helmets, drawstrings,
or jewelry while using the playground equipment. These and other loose items not listed
could present a strangulation or entanglement hazard.
• Children should not use playground equipment bare footed and should be required to
wear shoes and socks at all times while using the playground equipment.
