ASSEMBLY SAFETY and HELPFUL HINTS
ASSEMBLY SAFETY and HELPFUL HINTS
STOP!!! Check all parts and hardware before beginning. If any parts are
missing or damaged please circle and call the phone number listed.
DO NOT CONTACT THE STORE OR RETURN YOUR PLAYSET !
KEEP THIS INSTALLATION MANUAL FOR FUTURE CARE
AND MAINTENANCE REFERENCE.
To aid in making your playset assembly easier,
here is a listing of some helpful hints.
Wear safety glasses during drilling, assembly of your playset.
Children should not be allowed in the playset assembly and build area.
Note the hole orientation on parts to avoid having to take parts
apart later.
Some steps require the assistance of two people to ensure proper
assembly, safety during assembly, as well as preventing any damage
to the playset.
*IMPORTANT HARDWARE INFORMATION*
All hex bolts and lag screws require a lock washer or lock nut.
To properly install lock nuts, two to three threads must protrude past the
lock nut and be exposed once tightened.
Acorn nuts provide protection in case screw threads protrude past a
surface. Extra acorn nuts are provided for this reason. Please be certain
to use these acorn nuts in the event this condition arises.
If a bolt does not engage in a T-Nut, it may be necessary to fi rst install
without the washers and “grab” the T-Nut. Then back-out the bolt
and install with specifi ed washers.
Due to wood characteristics and the manufacturing process hex bolts
may protrude past a surface. If this condition occurs add additional
supplied washers to eliminate bolt protrusion.
To aid in proper assembly pound T-nuts into their respective hole
prior to assembly
Pound in T-nuts while the part is on the ground to ensure proper seating.
Use a soft material under parts when pounding in T-nuts to ensure
no scratching or de-facing of parts.
Make sure all fasteners used are as specifi ed. Using a fastener not
specifi ed in a particular application may result in too much thread
exposure or not enough thread engagement.

MAINTENANCE
Periodic maintenance is required to ensure safe enjoyment
of your playset and optional accessories.
Observing the following procedures reduces the likelihood of serious or fatal injury.
Activity on your playset and optional accessories may loosen fasteners. Check all lock nuts, hex and
lag bolts, quick clips, spring clips, acorn nuts, wood screws, and swing hangers for tightness and
tighten as required. T-nuts should be inspected for full and proper seating into the wood.
Checking, splitting and surface cracking are characteristics of all wooden playsets. This is caused by varying
seasonal temperatures and moisture conditions. To minimize this checking and/or cracking you may coat your
playset with a water repellent.
The color of your playset is from a process called MicroShade ™ and involves adding pigment into the wood
as it is pressure treated. This process results in colorant throughout the wood which helps minimize surface
markings being visible. The appearance of your playset with MicroShade will last about two years with no
stain application. You may wish to apply a water repellent which will benefi t the wood and help minimize
splitting, checking and surface cracking
PLAYSET CHECKLIST
At the beginning of each play season:
Tighten all hardware.
Lubricate all metallic moving parts per manufacturer’s instructions.
Check all protective coverings on bolts, pipes, edges, and corners. Replace if they are loose, cracked, or missing.
Check all moving parts including swing seats, ropes, cables, and chains for wear, rust, or other deterioration. Replace as needed.
Check metal parts for rust. If found, sand and repaint using a nonleaded-based paint meeting the requirements of 16 CFR 1303.
Check all wood members for deterioration and splinters. Sand down splinters and replace deteriorating wood members.
Reinstall any plastic parts, such as swing seats or any other items that were removed for the cold season.
Rake and check depth of loose fi ll protective surfacing materials to prevent compaction and to maintain appropriate depth. Replace as necessary.
Twice a month during play season:
Tighten all hardware.
Check all protective coverings on bolts, pipes, edges, and corners. Replace if they are loose, cracked, or missing.
Rake and check depth of loose fi ll protective surfacing materials to prevent compaction and to maintain appropriate depth. Replace as necessary.
Once a month during play season:
Lubricate all metallic moving parts per manufacturer’s instructions.
Check all moving parts including swing seats, ropes, cables, and chains for wear, rust, or other deterioration. Replace as needed.
At the end of each play season or when the temperature drops below 10°F remove plastic swing seats, tents, sandbox cover, tire swing,
slide and other items as specifi ed by the manufacturer and take indoors or do not use.
Rake and check depth of loose fi ll protective surfacing materials to prevent compaction and to maintain appropriate depth.Replace as necessary.
When you are ready to dispose of your playset, make sure that all metal, plastic and wood components are disposed of in
accordance with local waste ordinances.
Buyer and/or owner should disassemble and dispose of the playground equipment in such a way that no unreasonable hazards will
exist at the time the swing set is discarded. Do not burn your playset's preserved wood.

PLAYGROUND SURFACING MATERIALS
SECTION 4 OF THE CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION’S OUTDOOR HOME
PLAYGROUND SAFETY HANDBOOK
Select Protective Surfacing
One of the most important things you can do to reduce the likelihood of serious head injuries is to install shock-absorbing protective surfacing under
and around your play equipment. The protective surfacing should be applied to a depth that is suitable for the equipment height in accordance with
ASTM Specifi cation F 1292. There are different types of surfacing to choose from; whichever product you select, follow these guidelines:
NOTE: Do not install home playground equipment over concrete, asphalt, or any other hard surface. A fall onto a hard surface can result in
serious injury to the equipment user. Grass and dirt are not considered protective surfacing because wear and environmental factors can reduce
their shock absorbing effectiveness. Carpeting and thin mats are generally not adequate protective surfacing. Ground level equipment – such as
a sandbox, activity wall, playhouse or other equipment that has no elevated play surface – does not need any protective surfacing.
Maximum fall height for this playset is 82”.
Loose-Fill Materials:
Maintain a minimum depth of 9 inches of loose- fi ll materials such as wood mulch/chips, engineered wood fi ber (EWF), or shredded/recycled
rubber mulch for equipment up to 8 feet high; and 9 inches of sand or pea gravel for equipment up to 5 feet high. NOTE: An initial fi ll level of
12 inches will compress to about a 9- inch depth of surfacing over time. The surfacing will also compact, displace, and settle, and should be
periodically refi lled to maintain at least a 9- inch depth.
Use a minimum of 6 inches of protective surfacing for play equipment less than 4 feet in height. If maintained properly, this should be
adequate. (At depths less than 6 inches, the protective material is too easily displaced or compacted.)
Use containment, such as digging out around the perimeter and/or lining the perimeter with landscape edging. Don’t forget to account for
water drainage. U.S Consumer Product Safety Commission, Washington, D.C., 20207 or call the toll-free hotline :1-800-638-2772
Check and maintain the depth of the loose-fi ll surfacing material. To maintain the right amount of loose-fi ll materials, mark the correct level on
play equipment support posts. That way you can easily see when to replenish and/or redistribute the surfacing.
Do not install loose fi ll surfacing over hard surfaces such as concrete or asphalt.
Poured-In-Place Surfaces or Pre-Manufactured Rubber Tiles:
You may be interested in using surfacing other than loose-fi ll materials – like rubber tiles or poured-in-place surfaces.
Installations of these surfaces generally require a professional and are not “do-it-yourself” projects.
Review surface specifi cations before purchasing this type of surfacing. Ask the installer/manufacturer for a report showing that the product
has been tested to the following safety standard: ASTM F 1292 Standard Specifi cation for Impact Attenuation of Surfacing Materials within the
Use Zone of Playground Equipment. This report should show the specifi c height for which the surface is intended to protect against serious head
injury. This height should be equal to or greater than the fall height – vertical distance between a designated play surface (elevated surface for
standing, sitting, or climbing) and the protective surfacing below – of your play equipment.
Check the protective surfacing frequently for wear.
Placement
Proper placement and maintenance of protective surfacing is essential. Be sure to
Extend surfacing at least 6 feet from the equipment in all directions.
For to-fro swings, extend protective surfacing in front of and behind the swing to a distance equal to twice the height of the top bar from which
the swing is suspended.
For tire swings, extend surfacing in a circle whose radius is equal to the height of the suspending chain or rope, plus 6 feet in all directions.

IMPORTANT!
Use these Assembly Procedure Hints throughout the installation process.
1. All Lag Bolts must have pre-drilled holes. Use a 1/4” drill bit for all 3/8” Lag Bolts.
Use a 3/16” drill bit for all 5/16” Lag Bolts. Pre-drilling pilot holes will help prevent Screws
and Lag Bolts from breaking and wood from splitting during assembly.
DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN LAG BOLTS
2. In areas where drilling a larger 1/2” hole is neccessary, such as when installing T-Nuts,
(Fig. 1) the recommended procedure is to first drill-through a 1/4” pilot hole from the
Hex Bolt side and then drill the larger 1/2” hole from the opposite T-Nut side. This will
help avoid splintering the wood. The “Drill Both Sides ICON” (Fig. 1) will remind you to
drill according to this procedure. Be sure to clean through-holes of debris before
inserting Hex Bolts.
3. When assembling parts that are difficult to hold in position while pre-drilling pilot holes
or assembling, use a clamp to keep parts aligned or in position. The “Clamp ICON”
(Fig. 2) will advise you to use this procedure.

If Backyard Play Systems cannot disclaim or exclude implied warranties under applicable law, then to the extent possible any claims under any such implied warranties shall expire on expiration of the applicable warranty period. Some states do not

To the maximum extent of the law, Backyard Play Systems assumes no responsibility for incidental or consequential damages which may arise from the purchase or

may not apply to you.

respect, the unenforceable provision will be severed and reformed to effect the intent of
this limited warranty to the maximum extent possible, and the remaining provisions shall
continue in full force and effect and shall be enforced to the full extent permitted by law.
