The Playhut can be moved and
installed using a pallettruck.

Mounting

The playhut GP46 is delivered fully assembled.

Material

Ÿ Solid boards made of recycled plastic (PE), coloured throughout

(beige).

Ÿ Stainless steel screws (6 and 8 mm)
Ÿ Virgin PE sheets (12,5 mm & 19 mm), red & yellow, UV-resistant

Maintenance

The playhut GP46 does not have any moving parts.
Maintenance of the recycled plastic material is very limited.
Cleaning with a soapy water and a sponge or soft brush. Rinse with
water to remove all dirt and soap. As the water absorption of the
material is less than 0,29%, it will not get stained by oil, grease and
other products. Besides, mosses and algae will have difficult to
adhere to the material and are very easy to remove.
Cleaning with high-pressure (max. 100 bar) is possible but is not
recommended and mostly not needed. If anyway, then spray with a
fan-shaped jet at minimum 30 cm from the plastic surface.

Safety zone

The safety zone should extend a minimum of 150 cm in all directions from
the perimeter of the playhut

No need for safety surfacing

As the fall height of the playhut GP46 is less than 60 cm, a shock
absorbing safety surface is not required. When installed on a loose
ground, the playhut needs to be fixed onto a recycled plastic ground
anchor.

Installation

The playhut is delivered fully assembled.
According to EN 1176, anchorage is required in public playgrounds and all other playgrounds without supervision. When supervision is
guaranteed, it can be considered not to anchor the playhouse.

The anchorage is done by means of 4 plastic blocs to be fixed onto the surface.

445 cm

Anchorage:

Position the playhut and mark the perimeter (respect the safety zone). Fix the 4 plastic blocs onto the
surface using the nail plugs in the way that the playhut just fits over these blocs. Put the playhut over the
blocs, drill the holes (4 mm drill bit) for the screws into the plinth of the house and fix the screws.

Important suggestion

To drill the holes in the ground, use a sharp drill and just put the
plastic plug into the hole. It is better to screw the nail into the
plug than to hammer. This way, you don't damage the head of the
nail and unfixing will be easy.

This equipment is not suited to be installed on a loose ground (e.g.
sand, bark, woodchips, …).

This because it could be undermined and become unstable. A special
anchorage construction could be made (out of recycled plastic) on
which the playhut could be installed..
