PlayNation warrants its Super Scoop Slides™ and Super Tube Spiral Slides™ to be free from defects in
workmanship and materials, under normal use and conditions, for the lifetime of the product.
PlayNation warrants its Regal™, Imperial™, and Empire™ series swing sets to be free from defects in
workmanship and materials, under normal use and conditions, for a period of 15 years for above ground
structural wood components and for two years for all other components (e.g., swings, hardware,

be free from defects in workmanship and materials, under normal use and conditions, for a period of 1
year. All accessories purchased separate from those included with one of our swing set packages have a
one year limited warranty. The Krazy Clubhouse is warranted for a period of 6 months.
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 PlayNation's website. Imperfections or conditions that develop
because of a failure to properly maintain the swing set are not covered by this warranty.
PlayNation 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
PlayNation's discretion, may be accomplished by submitting photographs or by delivery of the defective
part to PlayNation. Any warranty claim must include proof of purchase, including the date of purchase.

PLAYNATION WARRANTY
In addition, within the first 30 days from the date of purchase, PlayNation 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.
PLAYNATION 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. PLAYNATION 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. 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
As fresh lumber acclimates to its new environment, the natural tendencies of the tree can show
itself 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.
Cosmetic defects that do not affect the structural integrity of the product, or natural defects of
wood such as warping, checking or any other physical properties of wood that do not present
a safety hazard, are not covered by this warranty. Defects that develop because the product is
exposed to extreme climate conditions or woodboring insects are not covered by this warranty.
Defects that develop as a result of faulty or improper installation of the product are also not
covered by this warranty.
Most cracks are not warrantable, however if you believe that the integrity of your play set is
compromised by this natural occurrence, please follow the warranty claim procedure found at
http://www.playnation.com/warranty. Click on the “Warranty” tab and follow the instructions.
KEEPING YOUR PLAYSET LIKE NEW
LUBRICATE:
• 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 speed up the slide wipe center of slide ONLY with wax paper every 2 - 3 weeks.
TIGHTEN:
• Check and tighten hex/carriage bolts within rst 60 days and then twice annually.
• Check lag screws for tightness before each season and then once during the season for
tightness. Tighten lag screws as required.
SEAL:
• Apply an oil based sealer or preservative within 90 days, then every 2 - 3 years. You may
need to power wash the unit before sealer application on year two.
INSECTS:
• To repel yellow jackets and wasps, using a cloth, coat all interior 90 degree corners with liquid
dish soap underneath the play set deck. This will make wasps sick when they attempt to build a
nest. Avoid using insecticides.
