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. PlayNation 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.
PlayNation shall not be liable for incidental, indirect or consequential damages or injuries that result
from the building and/or playing on our play sets. Adult supervision is recommended anytime a play
set is being used.

IMPORTANT –PLEASE READ
Congratulations! You have just purchase 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.
As your swing set acclimates to its new environment, natural characteristics of the wood can show in the form
of checks, or “cracks” in the lumber. In almost all cases this is normal and it will not affect the structural
integrity of your play set and is not covered under warranty.
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.
WITHIN 90 DAYS
• Apply a sealant or semi-transparent stain with sealant within the first 90 days of owning the swing set. If
applicable state laws allow, an oil based product will penetrate and protect the lumber better than a water
based product. Because climate conditions can vary drastically from region to region, we suggest asking the
product covering specialists at any number of specialty paint stores or home improvement centers for a
product that would work best for your local environment. ** TIP –while the set is new, take a small board from
your swing set to the store with you so they can color match the tint of the stain or sealant. Be sure to replace
the board when you get home.
SEASONAL REMINDERS
•If your area experiences regular snowfall, remove your fabric tarp/canopy to avoid stretching, sagging or
tearing of the material. Store it inside, folded up, and it will be as good as new when winter is over.
•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.
• To repel yellow jackets and wasps, use a cotton ball and dab interior wooden corners underneath the play set
deck with a liquid dish soap. Avoid using insecticides.
•To speed up the slide wipe the center of slide with wax paper every 2 - 3 weeks.

1518 Clubhouse Walls
FOR MODELS:
(1500AWC/1500AWCF/1500AWCR/1500ATC)
!!READ ME FIRST!!
The Clubhouse Walls for this unit will require removal of some boards to install the walls.
There will be some boards that will be leftover after the walls are installed.
Have you assembled your play set?
If “yes”, then READ the Leftover Parts notes at the bottom of this page, then turn the page
and proceed.
If “no”, then keep reading below.
If you have NOT already assembled your play set then you will need to do the following as
you are building your play set:
1) DO install the angle supports in Step 6B of the main instruction manual. These will
help stabilize the structure as construction progresses to the end.
2) DO NOT install the Safety Board in Step 33 (Side to Side Wood Roof), Step 42 (Front to
Back Wood Roof) or Step 31 (Tarp Roof) of the main instruction manual.
3) DO NOT install the Sandbox Seats in Step 45 (Side to Side Wood Roof), Step 53 (Front
to Back Wood Roof) or Step 43 (Tarp Roof) of the main instruction manual.
4) DO install the Clubhouse Walls after the entire play set structure is completed.
5) DO NOT build the picnic table until after the clubhouse walls are installed.
The 1500 play set series is modular. Because of this some parts will be leftover after the
Clubhouse Walls are installed.
Leftover Parts:
2 –5/4 x 6 x 22” Sandbox Seats, 1 –2 x 6 x 70” Sandbox Board,
All boards for the Picnic Table. The picnic table parts will be part of the leftover pieces for
this set. If your play set is already completed you may choose to remove the picnic table
from the right side of the unit and place it on the left side after the clubhouse walls are
installed. Placing the picnic table in this position will take up approximately 35% of the
useable floor space at the bottom of the play set.
*Clear Silicone Caulk will be needed to fill in any screw holes in the green posts.
