GORILLA PLAYSETS WARRANTY – 2018
Gorilla Playsets® (“Gorilla”) warrants its play sets to be free from defects in workmanship and materials, under
normal use and conditions, for 10 years for above ground structural wood components and for one year for all
other components (e.g., swings, hardware, plastics, tarps, rope ladder, etc.).
Gorilla warrants all remaining products, including but not limited to its, Malibu Playhouse, Free Standing Swing Set,
Free Standing Tire Swing, See-Saw, Children’s Picnic Table with Umbrella, Play-Zee-Bo™, Cedar Toy Chest,
Interlocking Sandbox and spring riders to be free from defects in workmanship and materials, under normal use
and conditions, for a period of 1 year.
Cosmetic imperfections and natural tendencies of wood such as peeling, splintering, warping, seasonal checking
or cracking, knots or knot holes, etc. are normal characteristics of all outdoor wooden play equipment and are
not covered by this warranty. Checks or cracks in wood components that do not affect the intended function of
the part, piece or overall swing set are not covered under this warranty.
Wood rot or decay that develops because the product was installed in an area with poor drainage is not covered
under this warranty. Lumber that has been damaged by wood boring bees, or conditions that develop as a result of
faulty or improper installation of the product, are not covered by this warranty. Fading of stain, discoloration or
mold on any wood part or accessory is not covered by this warranty. Cracks in plastic components, surface rust on
hardware and chips on powder coated materials are not considered defects in material as long as they do not
affect the functionality or structural integrity of the part or component.
It is the owner’s responsibility to maintain the swing set. This includes but is not limited to staining and sealing
the lumber as needed and regular inspection to be sure all hardware is tight. Instructions for proper
maintenance can be found on Gorilla’s website. Imperfections or conditions that develop because of a failure to
properly maintain the swing set are not covered by this warranty.
Gorilla will, at its discretion, replace any above ground part within the stated warranty period that is defective in
workmanship or materials. This decision is subject to verification of the defect, which, at Gorilla’s discretion, may
be accomplished by submitting photographs or by delivery of the defective part to Gorilla Playsets • 190 Etowah
Industrial Ct. • Canton, GA 30114 • 1-800-882-0272 Monday to Friday 9AM-5PM EST. Any warranty claim must
include proof of purchase, including the date of purchase. In addition, within the first 30 days from the date of
purchase, Gorilla will replace any parts discovered to be missing from or damaged in the original packaging.
This warranty is valid only if the product is used for the purpose for which it was designed and installed at a
residential, single-family dwelling. This warranty is void if the product is used in a commercial, institutional or
multi-family setting. This warranty does not cover normal wear and tear or (a) products that have been damaged
by acts of God and/or nature, negligence, misuse or accident; (b) products that have been modified or repaired
by unauthorized persons; (c) the cost of labor; or (d) the cost of shipping any replacement product or part.
GORILLA DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESSED, IMPLIED,
STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. GORILLA WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. This
warranty is non-transferable and does not extend to the owners of the product subsequent to the original
purchaser. Some states do not allow limitations on implied warranties or exclusion of incidental or consequential
damages, so these restrictions may not be applicable to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You may
also have other rights which vary from state to state.

IMPORTANT SAFETY GUIDELINES
This product is recommended for use by children ages 3-11. This product is intended
for residential use only and not intended for use in any public setting. A safety surface
such as mulch or recycled tire should be used under the play set to prevent injury from
falls. Also a 6 foot safety zone should be used around the entire play set.
As with any home project, good judgment and respect for power tools will greatly
reduce the risk of injury. Gorilla recommends you follow all tool manufacturers’ safety
guidelines. Always wear eye protection and safety gloves to prevent injury. In several
phases of construction two people may be required for lifting and securing of lumber.
While the play set is being constructed, please keep children off the equipment until the
project is complete. Bolts and screw heads should be checked regularly for tightness.
The ground ladder, rope ladder, slide, swings and other areas where children spend a
majority of their playtime should be checked more frequently.
Gorilla shall not be liable for incidental, indirect or consequential damages or
injuries that result from building and/or playing on our play sets. Adult supervision is
recommended anytime a play set is being used.
WEIGHT LIMITS FOR GORILLA PLAYSETS
Gorilla recommends that the weight limits for all components must not be exceeded.
• SWING BELT: 225 LBS.
• TRAPEZE: 125 LBS.
• FULL BUCKET SWING/ HALF BUCKET SWING 50 LBS.
• HEAVY DUTY TODDLER BUCKET SWING: 85 LBS
• INFANT SWING: 35 LBS.
Failure to adhere to these and other safety guidelines could result in damage to the play
set and injury to the users.

IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ
Congratulations! You have just purchased one of the finest residential wooden swing sets available today. As
with any wooden product that spends its entire life outside, in varying elements, it is important to know what to
expect with your new swing set so that your family can enjoy it for many years.
KEEPING YOUR PLAYSET LIKE NEW
MUST DO’s
The following owner responsibilities are crucial to the safety, integrity and aesthetic appeal of your
swing set and may affect the warranty if not adhered to.
WITHIN 60 DAYS
• Check and tighten Hex Bolts/T-nuts, Carriage Bolts/Lock-nuts, and Lag Screws within the first 60 days and
then twice annually – once before each season and then once during the season.
SEASONAL REMINDERS
• If your area experiences extremely cold temperatures, remove swing belts and other pliable features to
prolong the lifespan of these play activities.
OTHER TIPS
• Spray swing hangers with Pam, Mazola or olive oil to stop squeaking; do not use petroleum based products
such as WD-40 or motor oil.
For additional safety and maintenance guidelines, please visit our website.
