Tools Needed:
The Swingset Company (TSC) team has designed the easiest playset to assemble (in our humble opinion :)
We’ve pre-drilled all the holes, sanded all the wood, and pre-assembled many of the parts for you. We even
use the fewest variations of fasteners. We hope you find this assembly to be enjoyable and stress-free. But
if you get stuck, don’t hesitate to call us at 888.525.1185. Please let us know your thoughts when you’re
done. Happy Building!
IMPORTANT: These Instructions were written assuming you have firm, level ground or
you have ensured the ground is the same elevation at the points where the posts and A-
Frame legs touch the ground. See the “Layout Diagram” at the end of this manual for
reference. If your ground is not the same elevation at all the ground contact points, it will
still be possible to assemble this swing set, however you will need to ensure stability of
the swing set (e.g. by attaching 4x4 post extensions where the posts or A-Frame legs may
not be long enough to reach the ground.) TSC does not take any responsibility for an
assembly where the ground is not fully level and the elevations at the ground contact
points are not the same.

1. This playset is intended for use in residential settings by
children ages 3-11 years of age. Use in public settings
will void the warranty and can cause unexpected
component failure leading to injury or death.
2. The maximum safe weight on the Fort deck is 500 lb.
Maximum weight for the Fort Extension Board is 200
lb. Maximum weight for the Swing Beam is 400lbs for
the 2-swing models; 600lbs for the 3-swing models (or
200lbs per swing).
3. 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.
4. As with any home project, good judgment and respect
for power tools will greatly reduce the risk of injury.
Follow all tool manufacturers' safety guidelines. Always
wear eye protection and safety gloves to prevent injury.
5. While the play set is being constructed, please keep
children off the equipment until the project is
complete.
6. The Swingset Company (TSC) shall not be liable for
incidental, indirect or consequential damages or
injuries that result from building and/or playing on our
play sets. Adult supervision is recommended anytime a
play set is being used.
7. TSC recommends that the weight limits for all
components must not be exceeded. Failure to adhere
to these and other safety guidelines could result in
damage to the play set and injury to the users.
8. Your children's safety is our #1 concern. Observing the
cautions in this manual and those of the associated
options reduces the likelihood of serious or fatal injury.
Please review these safety rules regularly with your
children.

SECTION 1
Constructing the Two Forts
Before you start, find the box
labeled “Fort Accessories”. This
is where you’ll find all your
screws and the special drill bit
required for assembly.
4Section 1 The Swingset Company
We’ve provided a few extra
screws in each bag, just in
case you lose a few ☺
IMPORTANT: In this section,
you will be building two
identical fort frames.
Therefore, you will be doing
each of the following steps
twice.
Fort #1
Fort #2

Step 1: Create Two A-Frames
Parts Needed:
A

x16
Lay the four Posts (#1) on the ground as
shown. Using the four Crossbeams (#2),
construct two A-Frames as shown to the
right. Place the Crossbeams (#2)
between the lines as shown in figures A
& B. Make sure the Crossbeams are
completely square & perpendicular to
the Posts. Attach using two “A” Screws
at each end of the Crossbeam. Use the
provided drill bit (T-25) to attach all the
screws in this manual.
[Tip: use a 90 degree angle to ensure the
beams are square & perpendicular]

Turn one of the A-Frames over so the
Crossbeam side rests on the ground. Attach
the Floor Beams (#3) to the Posts (#1) using
two “A” screws in each side, see Figure C.
Make sure the Floor Beams (#3) are aligned
between the lines of the posts, and the
bottom edges are flush to the bottom edges
of the posts, as in the prior step.

You’ll need your friend for this next part.
Stand up the A-Frame with the attached
Floor Beams, and place it opposite the other
“A” Frame.
Align the Floor Beams with the lines on the
posts of the other A-Frame. Use a bubble
level to make sure all beams are horizontal
and level. Secure using two “A” screws on
each side, see Figure D.
IMPORTANT: The ground beneath each
post must be at the same level to ensure all
beams are horizontal and square.

Find the box that says “Braces”.
Attach the 8 Braces between the
Posts (#1) and the Crossbeams (#2
& 3). Use two “A” Screws for each
brace, as shown in Figure E.
Tip: Make sure the end of each
Brace lines up with the edge of each
Post and the bottom of the beam,
see figure F.

IMPORTANT: Now repeat Step 4 for the second
fort. Make sure the second fort is exactly 10ft
away from the first fort (measuring leg to leg).
See Below.

Parts Needed:
Step 5: Install Deck Floors
You’ll need your friend again for this
step. Insert the two Deck Floors.
They are identical. The cutout in the
floor joists should rest on the
support bars of the Crossbeams. Do
NOT screw them into place yet.

fort. Make sure the second fort is exactly 10ft
away from the first fort (measuring leg to leg).
See Below.

Parts Needed:
Step 6: Attach Ladder, Slide & Top Cross Beams
2x2

Note: The ladder and Slide can be placed on any side you wish.
Attach the Ladder using the instruction sheet and hardware
provided with the Ladder.
Next, attach the Slide using three “B” screws. The screws should
drill through the slide’s holes and into the bottom Crossbeam,
see Figure G.

Important: Make sure the Ladder is placed all
the way to one side of the deck floor, and the
Slide all the way to the opposite side. The two
holes in the deck floor need to be between the
Ladder and Slide.
Finally, attach the last two Crossbeams (#2) using
two “A” screws in each side, See Figure H.
Now repeat Step 6 for the second fort.

Parts Needed:
Step 7: Attach Vertical Boards & Crossbar
Find the package “VERTICALS” containing the 4 parts below with
the plastic stubs (2 tall & 2 short) and insertthem into the holes
on the deck floor (see picture to right). If need be, adjust the
deck floors to fit the vertical stubs.
IMPORTANT: Install the “Tall verticals” opposite each other,
then do the same for the “Small Verticals”. Tall vertical should
be placed between the slide and ladder.
Make sure all verticals are truly vertical (use a bubble level to
help check this), and attach to the upper Crossbeams (#2) using
two “C” screws, see figure I.
Next, install the crossbar (#4) to the top of the Tall Verticals
using two “C” screws, one on each end, as shown to the right.
Finally, install the 2 green safety handles which came with the
ladder. One handle will attach to the Post, the other to the Tall
Vertical.

The picnic table will go
underneath the deck floor. Use
the instruction sheet that came
packaged with the Picnic Table
for assembly.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to place
the picnic table on the same side

will be connected to. The Picnic
table will also serve to block off
direct access to the swinging
area.
