FOOTING NOTES
• Support post footing depth equals 42 in. (1067 mm) less the depth of the protective
surfacing material. The post is designed to have 24" (610 mm) in concrete.
Example: If 12 in. (305 mm) of wood mulch is used for surfacing, the footing depth would
be 30 in. (762 mm).
• Some support posts and component support legs may have either a factory-applied
sticker with line, or factory-applied mark designating protective surfacing level on a clear
and level installation site.
• If play structure is installed on uneven terrain, maintain support post mark at protective
surfacing level at lowest grade. Adjust other footings accordingly. Support posts and all
attaching decks and play components must be plumb and level.
• Do not encase bottom of support post in concrete. Place post directly on packed stone
or porous block.
• The footings shown on Playworld Systems’ documentation are recommendations based
on historical performance in average soil conditions. Footing dimensions may be modifi ed
by the owner based on actual soil conditions.
For example:
- If local soil is loose or unstable, a larger footing may be required.
- If local soil is considered stable, such as bedrock, clay or hard packed earth, a smaller
footing may be used. Before changing footing dimensions, we strongly recommend that
the footings be reviewed and approved by a registered engineer.
• Base of footing must be below frost line.
• Assemble the entire structure before pouring concrete unless specifi cally instructed to
do so in the individual component installation instructions.
