Install Manual
Version 6.14
When choosing a location for your swing set, always keep your child or children’s safety in mind. Here
are some recommendations to help you locate and install a safe play area.
This play set is designed for the use of 4 occupants who have a combined weight not exceeding 800 pounds
The swing set should be located on level ground. The stationary components such as ladders and slides
are required to be a minimum of six feet from any structure or obstruction such as a fence, garage, house,
tree, overhanging branches, electrical wires, clotheslines, etc. Any swinging equipment is also required to be a
minimum distance twice the height of the swing beam away from these obstructions or structures as well. The
swing set should be located a safe distance from any water hazards, such as a lake, river, bayou, swimming pool, etc.

surface under your swing set. The CPSC’s Consumer Information Sheet for Playground Surfacing Materials is on
the next page. A resilient surface, should be installed after the swing set has been completely assembled according
to these instructions. The swing set must rest on solid ground. Please note that this swing set has a maximum fall height of 7’.
Here are some maintenance tips required to insure safe play on your swing set for years of fun.
At the beginning of each usage season and every two weeks during, check: nuts and bolts and tighten as needed,
swing seats, chains, ladders, slides, rope and wood components for sign of deterioration and replace if necessary.
On a yearly basis, we recommend that you coat your swing set with a sealant or preservative. You may also want
to spot sand any areas prior to sealing.
** Special note: Although we recommend that you reseal your swing set annually, you may have to touch up the high
dealer may offer a complete power wash and reseal and maintenance program.
Do not use line trimmers or “weed eaters” around your swing set. The line will remove both paint and wood from
uprights and base pieces. Any damage resulting from this type of abuse is not covered under our limited warranty.
Remove plastic swing seats and take in doors or do not use when temperature drops below 0°F.
Please keep this install manual for future reference.
Weight Limits for Tree Frogs Swing Sets
Tree Frogs 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 swing set and/or injury to the users.
To insure SAFE PLAY adults must teach children:
become strangulation hazards.
To also insure SAFE PLAY adults must:
Serious injury could result should any part of the children’s clothing become entangled in the swing set.
Remember that children are inventive. When they develop games that are unsafe, be alert and change the rules.
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 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 contact the Tree Frogs Swing Set Dealer that you purchased your swing set from.
We appreciate your purchase and know that you will enjoy your play system for many years to come.
Depending on your experience, assembly of our play sets can take as little as 6 hours up to 24 hours, depending on size, after

This will save time and familiarize you with all the different pieces in the hardware bag.

CONSUMER INFORMATION SHEET FOR PLAYGROUND SURFACING MATERIALS
injuries resulting from falls to the ground surface are treated annually in U.S. hospital emergency rooms.
Injuries involving this hazard pattern tend to be among the most serious of all playground injuries, and have the
potential to be fatal, particularly when the injury is to the head. The surface under and around playground equipment
absorbing surface is less likely to cause a serious injury than a fall onto a hard surface. However, it should be
recognized that some injuries from falls will occur no matter what playground surfacing material is used.
Playground equipment should never be placed on hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt. Grass may appear to be
around play equipment.
MATERIAL UNCOMPRESSED DEPTH COMPRESSED DEPTH
6 Inch 9 Inch 12 Inch 9 inch
Wood Chips 7 10 11 10
Double Shredded Bark Mulch 6 10 11 7
Engineered Wood Fibers 6 7 >12 6
Fine Gravel 6 7 10 6
** This is data from tests conducted by independent testing laboratories on a 6 inch depth of uncompressed shredded
tire samples produced by four manufacturers. The test reported critical heights, which varied from 10 feet to greater
than 12 feet. It is recommended that persons seeking to install shredded tires as a protective surface request test data
from the supplier showing the critical height of the material when it was tested in accordance with ASTM F1292.
Table 1 should be read as follows: If, for example, uncompressed wood chips are used at a minimum of 6 inches, the
Critical Height is 7 feet. If 9 inches of uncompressed wood chips are used, the Critical Height is 10 feet. It should
be noted that, for some materials, the Critical Height decreases when the material is compressed. It is recommended
that a shock absorbing material should extend a minimum of 6 feet 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.
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 in
your area, and its cost.
