Ground Preparation
1. Lay out the base and slide in the position that you intend the climbing frame to be placed.
Ensure the base is parallel of any buildings, fences etc. that you are wishing to match in with.
This will give you the size of the footprint the frame will take up in the garden. Allow for at
least 1.8m clearance beyond the end of the slide and 1.2m clearance for the steps, rock
module and swing module.
2. Once you are happy that the layout is correct, remove the slide.
3. Mark out clearly the centre of all 4 cut outs the platform base. Once these are marked you
can lift the bases out of your way and then dig your holes.
4. If the climbing frame is on a level surface, then dig the holes at a diameter of 12” and depth
12”. The tricky part is when the surface is uneven; in this case you would have to
compensate for the slope by making some holes deeper or shallower than others (minimum
depth of 10”). The bottoms of all holes need to be level.

Assembly Instructions
All components needed during the assembly are numbered with reference to the parts list, please
refer back to the parts list to ensure you are assembling the correct components for each step.
Step 1: Platform H-Frame Assembly
•Lay out a 2280mm post and a 1385mm post with a 1720mm post between them. Secure
using 2 x 200mm screws into each 32mm hole.

Step 2:
•Make a mark 600mm from the bottom of both posts.
•Using the 1900mm 3” x 1.5” timber and using the 65mm decking screws screw the timber to
the frame (this is to strengthen the H-frame structure, without this additional support at the
bottom the frame will twist once it is lifted up)

Step 3:
•Repeat steps 1 & 2 for the other side of the platform.

Step 4: Connecting the Two Sides of the Platform
•Screw the two sides of the platform together using a 2220mm post at each side and 2 x
200mm screws into each of the 32mm holes.

Step 5:
•Screw the two pieces of 2220mm 3” x 1.5” to the 1900mm x 3” x 1.5” timber supports using
decking screws.

Step 6:
•Lift the platform and place it into the holes that have been dug.

Step 7: Base Assembly
•Lift the base onto the platform and fit the corners tightly to the vertical posts. The base
corners with no cut outs are for the corners with the small vertical posts and should sit on
top of these posts. The 3” x 1.5” base supports should sit onto the horizontal posts.
•Secure the base to the posts using the 120mm screws provided. They should be screwed
directly into the base down into the 4” x 4” horizontal posts. You can also secure the decking
to the 2220mm posts using decking screws.

Step 8: Railings Assembly
•The railings are now ready to be put into their respective slots.
•The ‘double’ timbers on the side-rails should be on top and the single timber should be at
the bottom.
•Secure the bottom rail to the base using decking screws.
•Using the 120mm screws, screw through the upright post so as to tighten the top railing to
the post.

Step 9:
•Repeat for all railings.

Step 10: Playhouse Assembly
•Once the railings are in place it’s time to build the playhouse. The playhouse comes in 7
parts: 1 floor, 4 walls and 2 roof pieces.
•Place the floor on the appropriate side of the base. At this stage you will need to fit the T&G
front and side trims to cover the edges of the base. These should fit tight between the base
and the railings.
•Place the base on the platform and position it so that it is flush to edge of the platform.

Step 11:
•Add all 4 sides and screw into place using the 65mm decking screws supplied. Screw through
the 2” x 1.5” timber to secure the walls to each other and to the floor of the playhouse. You
will also need to apply a bead of silicone between each corner where the panels meet, to
ensure the playhouse remains watertight.
