Advisory Section
To ensure the safety of you, the installer and your children, it is
important that these instructions are read fully before commencing the
positioning and installation of this product.
Keep your sandpit safe for the children
1. Always cover the sandpit when not in use, to prevent unwanted
animals from playing in the sand.
2. The sandpit cover is not a toy and is not intended for use by children.
Always remove the cover before allowing children to play with the
sandpit.
3. Before covering your sandpit, place a large object in the centre of the
sand to prop up the cover. This will allow water to drain o the cover,
and prevent any rain water from “pooling” in the centre of the sand
pit. This must be checked regularly.
4. Should any water still accumulate and form a pool, please ensure
that this water is removed. Standing water can pose a danger to
children.
5.
Regularly check sand for impurities and any other sharp objects that
may cause harm to children, including at the beginning of the season.
6. Use washed play sand suitable for use in children’s sand pits.
7. Reguarly change the sand to ensure that there is no build up of
mould and to ensure that the play area is hygenic.
8. In windy and adverse weather conditions place the product in a safe
area. In these conditions the product may become a hazard.
9. The sandpit should be placed on a level surface at least 2m from any
structure or obstruction such as a fence, garage, house, over hanging
branches, laundry lines or electrical wires.
10. The sandpit should not be installed over concrete, asphalt or any
other hard surface.
Timber Advice
This product has been made from premium timber. Great care has
been taken in selecting, treating and machining the timber before
it is presented to you. Timber is a natural product and as such may
experience changes throughout the course of its life. This means it may:
- Develop openings (gaps, slits, apertures, cracks, splits) along the
line of the grain. These openings are due to the dierence in
moisture content between the internal and outer surfaces of the
timber. This is to be expected, is totally acceptable and will not aect
the integral strength, life or guarantee of the product.
- Warp and distort its shape. Any distortion will be slight and will not
aect the safety or enjoyment of this product.
- Fade as the timber reacts with sunlight. The timber should be treated
with a proprietary product to act as a protective barrier, i.e. a water
repellent, on an annual basis.
- After rst year of service treat product with a good quality treatment
safe for children’s use.
Routine Maintenance

and monthly thereafter) all main parts/xings are checked as secure, well
oiled (if metallic), have no sharp points/edges and are intact. Replace, oil

or hazard. Replace defective parts immediately, for further information
