WARNING
BEFORE YOU BEGIN ASSEMBLY!!!
• Take a complete inventory of components using the parts list.
• Sort and lay out the wood pieces. Label each piece of wood for easy reference. For easy identification
during the assembly process, write the board's letter on masking tape and adhere to each piece of the
wood. Some wooden components may twist or warp in the carton after packaging. Usually, these parts
straighten out when assembled. You may also see some cracking of the grain. This is normal.
• Sort all hardware according to size. Do not worry if extra hardware is included.
• Find a safe play location.
o You MUST install the Wood Play Set on level ground. Uneven ground must be leveled prior to
installation. The manufacturer cannot assume responsibility for any failure from incorrect
installation. Installing on sloping ground will put stress on all the joints, which will cause the
set to become loose and unstable.

ASSEMBLY TIPS
Climbing Rungs/Dowels. (If your set has climbing rungs.) Once the dowel is installed in the ladder rail, the
end of each dowel must be secured by a screw through the ladder rail into the dowel end. To avoid splitting
the wood, you must pre-drill a pilot hole for the screws using a 1/8" drill bit. The procedure required to install
the dowels is detailed and illustrated in these instructions and must be followed precisely.
Metal plates: The structural integrity of the play set is dependent on the proper installation of the metal plates.
As noted and diagrammed in these instructions, the installation of these metal plates must be followed
precisely. If your play set has end ladders or swing beam supports, make sure they are angled away from
the top ladder or swing beam. If the Wood Set has one or two climbing towers, the metal plates must be
installed so that each climbing tower is perpendicular to the top ladder.
Ground stakes: Unless you have loose or sandy soil, cementing is neither recommended nor required.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
After Assembly: Perform a follow-up inspection one week after initial installation.
Bi-Monthly: Perform a thorough inspection twice a month for the life of your wood play set. Provide
appropriate maintenance as deemed necessary
Annually: Wood refinishing is typically required at twelve-month intervals from the date of installation.
Weather conditions may require more frequent refinishing.

What to Inspect:
Hardware:
Inspect all nuts and bolts and tighten if required. Hardware should be firmly against, but not crushing the
wood. Over-tightening hardware crushes wood fibers and can split wooden components resulting in the bolt
thread extending beyond the wood. This poses a severe safety hazard. If bolt threads protrude beyond the
wood surface, replace the bolt with a shorter one that will not protrude. If splintering has occurred from
over-tightening, larger washers can be purchased at your local hardware store and installed under the bolt
head. Be sure to reuse or replace your lock washers.
Major Wooden Parts:
Inspect for structural defects and splintering. If necessary, lightly sand and refinish with an exterior water
repellent stain. Seasonal checking or cracking of the grain on wooden parts is quite natural water and heat
are the most frequent causes of expansion and contraction of wood fibers. Our wood set has been treated
with stain to resist weathering. But it needs to be maintained periodically by applying new stain or paint.
Dowels (Rungs)
Inspect for structural defects and splintering. If necessary, lightly sand and refinish with a clear water
repellent, exterior sealant or boiled linseed oil. Do NOT paint, varnish or finish rungs with any substance that
may reduce your child's ability to firmly grasp or step on the rungs.
Swing hangers
Inspect for correct installation. Assure the bend of the swing hanger is positioned tightly against the stop
washer and the ladder or swing beam. The axis of the swing hanger bushing must be perpendicular to the
swing motion. Spray the nylon bushings with a household lubricant such as WD-40, if you hear squeaking.
Plastic Swing Seats
Check for evidence of deterioration. Replace any swing seat that has developed cracks in the seat or has
exposed metal in the edges of the swing seat. If there are already exposed metal inserts on the edge of the
seat, remove the seats and chains to prevent serious injury. Remove plastic swing seats and take indoors or
do NOT use when the temperature drops below 32 degrees F.
Ropes, Cables and Chains
Check for evidence of deterioration. Ropes, cables and chains should be removed and replaced if excessive
wear is found. Contact our service center for replacement parts.
Metallic Components
Check for rusted areas on components such as monkey bars, hand supports, brackets, etc. Sand and
repaint using a non lead-based paint that meets the requirements of Title 16 CRF part 1303.
Play Area
Inspect to assure that the swing set has settled properly and the location of the set is still level.

CONSUMER INFORMATION SHEET
The Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that about 100,000 Playground equipments. Related injuries
resulting from falls to the ground equipment treated annually In U.S. hospital emergency rooms. Injuries involvingthis
hazard pattern tend to be among the most serious of all playground injuries, and have the potential to be fatal,
particularly when the injuryis to the head. The surface under and around playground equipment can be a major factor
in determining the injury-causing potential of a fall. It isself evident that a fall onto a shock absorbing surface is less
likely to cause a serious injurythan a fall onto ahard surface. Playground equipment should never be placed on hard
surfaces such as concrete or asphalt and while grass may appear to be acceptable itmay quickly turn to hard packed
earth in areas of high traffic. Shredded bark mulch,wood chips fine
sand or fine gravel are considered to be acceptable shock absorbing surface when installed and maintained at a
sufficient depth under and around playground equipment.
Table below lists the maximum height from which a child would not be expected to sustain a life-threatening head injury
in a fall onto four different loose-fill surfacing materials ifthey are installed and maintained at depths of 6" (15.25CM), 9"
(22.9CM), and 12" (30.5CM). FALL HEGH½ iN FEET WHICH

F_ne T (178CM)
However,it should be recognized that all injuries due to falls cannot be prevented no matter what surfacing material is
used.
We recommend that a shock absorbing material should extend a minimum of 6ft in all directions from the perimeter of
stationary equipment such as climbers and slides. However, because children may deliberately jump from a moving
swing, the shock absorbing material should extend in the front and rear of a swing a minimum distance of 2 times the
height of the pivot point measured from a point directly beneath the pivot on the supporting structure.
This information is intended to assist in comparing the relative shock-absorbing properties of various materials. No
particular material is recommended over another. However, each material is only effective when Properly maintained.
Materials should be checked periodically and replenished to maintain correct depth as determined necessary for your
equipment. The choice of a material depends on the type and height of the playground equipment, the availability of the
material in your area and its cost.
Note: The maximum fall height for this product is6 feet. The minimum ground Clearancebetween the bottom of the suspended
plays and the playing or ground servicemust be 8 inches.
YOU MUST MAINTAIN AMINIMUM OF 8 rNCHES OF GROUNB CLEARANCE
