•Cordless drill
•Handsaw
•Spirit Level
•Hammer
•Shovel
•Stepladder
•Pencil
•Measuring tape
•10mm Hex bit
•PZ 2 Drill Bit
Ground Preparation
•Lay out the base with the six notches, slide and the 3m swing bar in the position that you
intend the climbing frames to be placed. Ensure the base is good and 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.
•Once you are happy that the layout is correct, remove the swing bar and slide.
•Mark out clearly the centre of all 6 cut outs of the two bases. Once these are marked you
can lift the bases out of your way and then dig your holes.
•If the climbing frame is on a level surface, then dig the 6 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 two of the 3300mm posts on a level surface with a 1617mm post between them. Secure
using 200mm index screws, screw two into post through the 32mm pre-drilled holes

Step 2:
•Using the 1800mm 3” x 1.5” timber and using the 60mm 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 the above steps for the second H-frame, only this time use the 1735mm vertical
posts.

Step 4: Base assembly (requires heavy lifting, please use at least 3 people)
•The first step will be to position and pack your floor so that it is level and is not sagging or
bouncing in any places when someone stands on it. This will be made easier if your ground is
flat and fairly level. The greater the slope, the more packing you will require.
•Once this is done, lift both ‘H’-frames into the holes that have been dug out in the ground,
fitting into the notches that are cut in each corner of your floor.
•Make sure that the 1800mm x 3” x 1.5’’ face each other on the inside of the H-frames

Step 5: Securing the H-Frames Together
•To ensure that the base fits into place use the 2420mm x 3" x 1.5” timber provided to
connect the two ‘H’-frames together
•The structure should now be able to stand on its own

Step 6:
•Secure the 2420mm posts (with the 3” x 1.5” secured to it) to the H-frames using two
200mm index screws into each 32mm hole. Ensure the 3” x 1.5” timbers are on the top and
they should be flush with the top of the 1735mm post

Step 7:
•Secure the final 1617mm post to the middle of the 2420mm posts using two index screws
into each of the 32mm holes

Step 8: Top Base Assembly (requires heavy lifting, please use at least 3 people)
•Lift the base and set into its place, with the 3” x 1.5” base supports resting on the three
1617mm posts, the base with no cut outs is for the small H-frame
•Secure the base using the 120mm screws provided, they are to be screwed directly through
the base into the 3” x 1.5” base supports down into the 4” x 4” horizontal posts

Step 9: Railings Assembly
•The railings are now ready to be put into their respective slots, the open ones are for the
steps, slide, Rope Bridge and fireman’s pole and the closed ones are for the 8ft rock module,
8ft cargo net and swing module
•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 and to the vertical posts using two
120mm screws into each 32mm pre-drilled hole
