This product should not be built on top of surfacing.
Do not apply playground surfacing until aer the unit is completely constructed.
All surface material should extend a minimum of 79 in. (2 m) feet in all directions
around the play area.
The maximum fall height for this product is 96.1 in. (2.44 m). The following chart
explains the fall height from which a life-threatening head injury would not be
expected:

9.
Do not install home playground equipment over concrete, asphalt, packed earth,
grass, carpet, or any other hard surface. A fall onto a hard surface can result in
serious injury or death to the equipment user.
Create a site free of obstacles that could cause injuries, such as low overhanging
tree branches, overhead wires, tree stumps or roots, large rocks, bricks, and
concrete.
Ensure the clearance in front of and behind the swings is at least twice the height of
the swing bar.
Pay special attention to plastic and metal surfaces in direct sunlight, as they may
be hot enough to cause burns. Always check the temperature of the product before
letting your children play.
This product must be anchored to prevent tipping, overturning, or liing during
use. Anchors are sold separately. Anchoring devices must be installed through the
anchoring holes at the base of the frames. Note that anchoring devices must be
placed below the level of the playing surface to prevent tripping or injury resulting
from a fall. Do not install this product on surfaces with sandy soil conditions.
*This data is from tests conducted by independent testing laboratories on a 6 in. (153 mm) depth of uncompressed
shredded tire samples produced by four manufacturers. The tests reported critical heights ranging from 120 in. (3
m) to greater than 144 in. (3.7 m). It is recommended that persons seeking to install shredded tires as a protective
surface request test data from the supplier showing the critical height of the material when it was tested per ASTM
F1292.

Critical Heights of Tested Materials:
The following information is from the United States Consumer Product Safety Commis-
sion’s Information Sheet for playground surfacing material; also see the following website
for additional information: www.cpsc.gov.
One of the most important things you can do to reduce the likelihood of serious head
injuries is to install shock-absorbing protective surfacing under and around your play
equipment. The protective surfacing should be applied to a depth that is suitable for
the equipment height in accordance with ASTM Specification F1292. There are dierent
types of surfacing to choose from; whichever product you select, follow these guide-
lines:
1.
2.
3.
Loose-Fill Materials:
Use a minimum of 6 in. (152 mm) of protective surfacing for play equipment less
than 48 in. (1219 mm) in height. If maintained properly, this should be adequate.
(At depths less than 6 in. (152 mm), the protective material is too easily displaced
or compacted.) NOTE: Do not install home playground equipment over concrete,
asphalt, or any other hard surface. A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious
injury to the equipment user. Grass and dirt are not considered protective surfacing
because wear and environmental factors can reduce their shock absorbing eec-
tiveness. Carpeting and thin mats are generally not adequate protective surfacing.
Ground level equipment – such as a sandbox, activity wall, playhouse or other
equipment that has no elevated play surface – does not need any protective
surfacing.
Use containment, such as digging out around the perimeter and/or lining the
perimeter with landscape edging. Don’t forget to account for water drainage.
Maintain a minimum depth of 9 in. (229 mm) of loose-fill materials such as
wood mulch/chips, engineered wood fiber (EWF), or shredded/recycled rubber
mulch for equipment up to 96 in. (2438 mm) high; and 9 in. (229 mm) of sand or
pea gravel for equipment up to 60 in. (1524 mm) high. NOTE: An initial fill level
of 12 in. (305 mm) will compress to about a 9 in. (229 mm) depth of surfacing
over time. The surfacing will also compact, displace, and settle, and should be
periodically refilled to maintain at least a 9 in. (229 mm) depth.
Check and maintain the depth of the loose-fill surfacing material. To maintain
the right amount of loose-fill materials, mark the correct level on play equip-
ment support posts. That way you can easily see when to replenish and/or
redistribute the surfacing.
Do not install loose fill surfacing over hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt.

5.
Poured-In-Place Surfaces or Pre-Manufactured Rubber Tiles—You may be interested
in using surfacing other than loose-fill materials – like rubber tiles or
poured-in-place surfaces.
Placement—Proper placement and maintenance of protective surfacing is essential.
Be sure to:
Installations of these surfaces generally require a professional and are not
“do-it-yourself” projects.
Review surface specifications before purchasing this type of surfacing. Ask the
installer/manufacturer for a report showing that the product has been tested to
the following safety standard: ASTM F1292 Standard Specification for Impact
Attenuation of Surfacing Materials within the Use Zone of Playground Equip-
ment. This report should show the specific height for which the surface is
intended to protect against serious head injury. This height should be equal to
or greater than the fall height – vertical distance between a designated play
surface (elevated surface for standing, sitting, or climbing) and the protective
surfacing below – of your play equipment.
Check the protective surfacing frequently for wear.
Extend surfacing at least 72 in. (2 m) 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  in all directions.
