SAFE PLAY AREA
SELECTING THE CORRECT LOCATION FOR YOUR PLAY PRODUCT IS IMPORTANT FOR
YOUR CHILDREN’S SAFETY AND THE PRODUCT’S LONGEVITY.
Play Set Dimensions:
• The MODEL PS20ROC Play Set has ground dimensions of 13'-0" x 11'-7".
• The MODEL PS20ROC Play Set requires a level ground surface of 25'-0" x 28'-3" for a Safe Play Area.
• Additional accessories may increase the size of the Safe Play Area.
• The maximum fall height for your MODEL PS20ROC is 87" as measured from the top of the swing beam.
Safe Play Area:
• The Safe Play Area refers to a zone extending 6' (2 meters) beyond the Play Set on all sides, including the slide
and the space above the Play Set. Because children may deliberately jump from a moving swing, the Safe Play
Area must be extended to 14' (4.27 meters) in front of and behind a swinging Accessory.
• The ground surface must be level. Installing your Play Set on sloping ground can cause it to lean or “rack”.
This leaning puts additional stress on all connections and joints and in time will cause those connections to
loosen and fail.
• The Safe Play Area must be free of all structures, landscaping, trees and branches, rocks, wires, and other
obstacles to safe play. Children can be seriously injured running, or swinging into these obstacles.
• Remove all tripping hazards from the Safe Play Area. Tripping hazards include; roots, stumps, rocks, landscap-
ing, sprinkler heads, railroad ties, plumbing and electrical connections.
• Do not install your Play Set over concrete, gravel, asphalt, packed earth, or any other hard surface. The follow-
ing is a list of recommended ground covers from the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
RECOMMENDED GROUND COVER
Suggested Material Uncompressed Depth
Double Shredded Bark Mulch 9"
Uniform Wood Chips 12"
Fine Gravel 12"
Fine Sand 12"
• Any edging used to contain the ground cover must be beyond the Safe Play Area. (i.e. Landscape Timbers)
A FALL ONTO A HARD SURFACE COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY.

PRE ASSEMBLY INFORMATION
CREATIVE PLAYTHINGS PLAY SETS USE A FEW STANDARD CONNECTIONS.
BECOMING FAMILIAR WITH THESE CONNECTIONS WILL SIMPLIFY ASSEMBLY AND
INSURE A SAFER PLAY PRODUCT FOR YOUR CHILDREN.
Hex Bolt & Weld Nut Assembly Procedure:
Assembly Layout:
Align the holes in the parts to be fastened. Start
preliminary tightening of bolt into weld nut by
hand. Tighten each bolt with a wrench until the
lock washer is fully compressed between the
head of the bolt and the at washer.
Correct Assembly:
Bolt has been screwed securely into weld nut
and the connection is tight. Check connec-
tions periodically for tightness during the life
of the Play Set . Do not over tighten.
Incorrect Assembly:
If during assembly or maintenance the bolt pro-
trudes 1/8" past the weld nut, use additional at
washers, call customer service or replace the
bolt at a local hardware store. You may be over-
tightening or using the wrong size bolt.
Failure to replace this bolt with a shorter one
could result in serious injury.
Typical Installation - Lag Screws:
• Pilot drill with the appropriate
diameter drill bit and then use
a socket to tighten.
• DO NOT over tighten
Typical Installation - Wood Screws:
• Use an electric drill or screw gun to drive screws.
• Drill 1/8" pilot holes where required.
• We recommend that you lubricate the
threads of the screws with beeswax or
soap to ease installation and minimize
breaking screws.
• It is very important to make cer-
tain that the tops of all screws are
ush with the surface of the wood
and there are no protruding sharp
edges.

MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
YOUR CREATIVE PLAYTHINGS PLAY SET IS STAINED AT OUR FACTORY.
STAINING IS NOT NEEDED AT THE TIME OF INITIAL ASSEMBLY.
Re-staining Information:
• Pigmented, exterior, water repellent stains are recommended and will provide an excellent barrier against moisture
without hiding the natural wood grain or leaving a lm that may later crack or peel.
• We recommend that you apply stain according to the instructions and precautions recommended by the stain manufacturer.
• It should take two or more quarts to cover your set.
• Contact your local dealer or call Creative Playthings for our staining products.
• All rungs are pre-nished at the factory and do not require any nishing at the time of initial assembly.
• Do not paint, or varnish rungs or steps.
• Avoid using nishes that create slippery surfaces.
Maintenance:
• Wooden playground equipment will last for years with proper maintenance. Maintenance of the Play Set nish will vary
depending on weather and climate.
• As a safety precaution, check all hardware, such as nuts and bolts, for tightness twice a month during use and at the
beginning of each play season. Tighten as required and specied in these instructions. Do not over-tighten.
• Check structure twice monthly during usage for any evidence of deterioration. If upon inspection, hardware has sharp edges,
rusted or structural pieces have signs of premature failure; replace them through Creative Playthings Customer Service.
• Oil all metallic moving parts monthly during the usage season.
• The swings, trapeze, tent, rope ladders, and any other removable plastic accessories should be removed and taken
indoors when outside temperatures drop below 32° F (0° C).
• Wood will expand and contract as it adjusts to temperature changes and varying moisture conditions. Checks or cracks
are a natural characteristic of all wood and will not affect the strength or durability of the wooden components.
• To maintain the nish of your set, a light sanding and an application of an exterior stain will repair scratches and prevent
wood from aging prematurely.
• Finishes applied to ladder rungs must not create a slippery surface. Never varnish.
• The wood parts of your Play Set should never be disposed of by burning.
• Dispose of all parts so as not to create a hazard.
• "Check all coverings for bolts and sharp edges and replace when required."
• "Check swing seats, chains, ropes, and other means of of attachments for evidence of deterioration". Replace through
Creative Playthings Customer Service.
• Twice a month during play season rake and check depth of loose ll protective surfacing materials to prevent compac-
tion and to maintain appropriate depth. Replace as necessary.
Tools & Materials Suggested for Finishing & Assembly:
• Claw Hammer
• Carpenter’s Level
• Box Wrench or Sockets (7/16" & 1/2")
• Electric Drill
• 1/8", 3/16" & 5/16" Drill Bits
• Screwdriver or driver drill (Medium Phillips)

mately every 9" along the length of the rope. Make sure each
knot is tight.
Push the loose end of the rope through the hole in the Rope
Board. Pull the rope taut and tie a gure-eight knot to secure
it.
Set the Rock Uprights into the playground surface to
ensure that the bottom rope connection is as close to
the ground as possible.
IMPORTANT: Check the rope often. At no time should
the bottom end of the rope be untied or the rope loose
enough to form a loop. This presents extreme danger to
children.

U.S. safety standards require a minimum clearance of 8"
from the bottom of each Swing Accessory to the ground.
U.K. (& E.U.) safety standards require a minimum clearance
of 350mm (13-3/4") between the bottom of each Swing Ac-
cessory and the ground.
The height of each Swing Accessory is adjusted by using a
different link in the chain. Be sure to hang the Swings Ac-
cessories with ground clearance greater than or equal to the
safety standard for your region.
STEP 30 — Ground Stakes:
Hammer two Ground Stakes next to the Front Left Post and
Back Right Post as shown. The top of the Ground Stake
should be minimum of 1/8" below the top of the Sandbox
Sides. Secure each stake to the adjacent Sandbox Side us-
ing two #10 x 2" Screws through the pre-drilled holes.

Note: Do NOT use concrete to set Ground Stakes. Pound a
metal spike or rod into the ground to start a hole in hard or
rocky ground.
Inspect your work; make sure all fasteners are secured prop-
erly and the area is clear of hazards before allowing children
on the Swing Set.
