IMPORTANT SAFETY GUIDELINES
This product is recommended for use by children ages 3-11. This product is intended for residential
use only and not intended for use in any public setting. A safety surface such as mulch or recycled
tire should be used under the play set to prevent injury from falls. Also a 6 foot safety zone should be
used around the entire play set.
As with any home project, good judgment and respect for power tools will greatly reduce the risk
of injury. PlayNation recommends you follow all tool manufacturers’ safety guidelines. Always wear
eye protection and safety gloves to prevent injury. In several phases of construction two people may
be required for lifting and securing of lumber. While the play set is being constructed, please keep
children off the equipment until the project is complete. Bolts and screw heads should be checked
regularly for tightness. The ground ladder, rope ladder, slide, swings and other areas where children
spend a majority of their playtime should be checked more frequently.
PlayNation shall not be liable for incidental, indirect or consequential damages or injuries that result
from the building and/or playing on our play sets. Adult supervision is recommended anytime a play
set is being used.

IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ
Congratulations! You have just purchase one of the finest residential wooden swing sets available today. As
with any wooden product that spends its entire life outside, in varying elements, it is important to know what to
expect with your new swing set so that your family can enjoy it for many years.
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.
KEEPING YOUR PLAYSET LIKE NEW
MUST DO’s
The following owner responsibilities are crucial to the safety, integrity and aesthetic appeal of your
swing set and may affect the warranty if not adhered to.
WITHIN 60 DAYS
Check and tighten Hex Bolts/T-nuts, Carriage Bolts/Lock-nuts, and Lag Screws within the first 60 days and
•
then twice annually – once before each season and then once during the season.
WITHIN 90 DAYS
• Apply a sealant or semi-transparent stain with sealant within the first 90 days of owning the swing set. If
applicable state laws allow, an oil based product will penetrate and protect the lumber better than a water
based product. Because climate conditions can vary drastically from region to region, we suggest asking the
product covering specialists at any number of specialty paint stores or home improvement centers for a
product that would work best for your local environment. ** TIP – while the set is new, take a small board from
your swing set to the store with you so they can color match the tint of the stain or sealant. Be sure to replace
the board when you get home.
SEASONAL REMINDERS
If your area experiences regular snowfall, remove your fabric tarp/canopy to avoid stretching, sagging or
•
tearing of the material. Store it inside, folded up, and it will be as good as new when winter is over.
If your area experiences extremely cold temperatures, remove swing belts and other pliable features to
•
prolong the lifespan of these play activities.
OTHER TIPS
Spray swing hangers with Pam, Mazola or olive oil to stop squeaking; do not use petroleum based products
•
such as WD-40 or motor oil.
To repel yellow jackets and wasps, use a cotton ball and dab interior wooden corners underneath the play set
•
deck with a liquid dish soap. Avoid using insecticides.
To speed up the slide wipe the center of slide with wax paper every 2 - 3 weeks.

Safety and Maintenance Tips for Your New Play Set:
3
NOTE: Your children’s safety is our #1 concern. Observing the
following statements and warnings reduces the likelihood of serious
or fatal injury. Please review these safety rules regularly with your
children.
• This play set is designed for the use of 4 occupants who have a combined weight not
exceeding 800 pounds on the oor.
• On-site adult supervision is required.
• Teach children not to use the equipment in a manner other than intended.
• The parents should have the children dress appropriately with well-tting shoes. Loose
clothing such as scarves and ponchos should not be worn. Always take off, tie up or
tuck in cords and drawstrings on children’s clothing. These things can get caught on
playground equipment and strangle a child.
• Teach children not to climb when the equipment is wet.
• Teach children to never crawl on top of a fort roof.
• Teach children not to attach items to the playground equipment that are not specically
designed for use with the equipment, such as, but not limited to, jump ropes, clothesline,
pet leashes, cables and chain as they may cause a strangulation hazard.
• Teach children to remove their bike or other sports helmet before playing on the
playgound equipment.
• Teach children to NEVER look at the sun or other bright light through any accessory
such as but not limited to a telescope, periscope or binoculars.
WARNING: Children must NOT use this play set until it has been
completely assembled and inspected by an adult.

Safety and Maintenance Tips for Your New Play Set:

(continued)
Playgrounds should be inspected on a regular basis. If any of the following conditions are noted,
they should be removed, corrected, or repaired immediately to prevent injuries.
• Hardware that is loose, worn or that has protrusions or projections.
• Exposed equipment footings.
• Scattered debris, litter, rocks, or tree roots.
• Splinters, large cracks, and decayed wood components.
• Deterioration and corrosion on structural components, which connect to the ground.
• Missing or damaged equipment components, such as handholds, guardrails, swing seats.
• Check all nuts and bolts twice monthly during the usage season and tighten as required.
(But not so tight that you crack the wood) It is particularly important that this procedure be
followed at the beginning of each season.
• Oil all metallic moving parts monthly during the usage period.
• For rusted areas on metallic members such as monkey bars, hand supports brackets, etc.;
sand and repaint, using a non lead-based paint meeting the requirements of Title 16 C.F.R. Part
1303. These requirements are available at: http://www.cpsc.gov/
• Inspect wood parts monthly. The grain of the wood sometimes will lift in the dry season
causing splinters to appear. Light sanding may be necessary to maintain a safe playing
environment. If you are treating your play set with stain regularly, it will help prevent severe
checking/splitting and other weather damage.
• Once or twice a year, depending on your climate conditions, you must apply some type of
protection (sealant) to the wood of your unit. Prior to the application of sealant, lightly sand any
“rough” spots on your set. Please note this is a requirement of your warranty.
• Creating and maintaining the play set on a level location is very important. As your children
play, your play set will slowly dig its way into the soil, and it is very important that it settles
evenly. Make sure the play set is level and true once each year or at the beginning of each play
season.
• Twice a month during the usage season rake the playground protective surfacing materials to
prevent compaction and maintain appropriate depths. Replace the protective surfacing materials
as required.
• Disposal Instructions: When the play set is no longer desired, it should be disassembled and
disposed of in such away that no unreasonable hazards will exist at the time the play set is
discarded.

Play Set Surfacing Recommendations:
5
Below are some of the recommendations that the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC) offers from its Handbook for Public Playground Safety. The guide
can be downloaded in full at www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/pubs/325.pdf
1. Protective Surfacing - Since almost 60% of all injuries are caused by falls to the
ground, protective surfacing under and around all playground equipment is the most
critical safety factor on playgrounds.
Certain manufactured synthetic surfaces also are acceptable; however, test data on
shock absorbing performance should be requested from the manufacturer.
Asphalt and concrete are unacceptable. They do not have any shock absorbing
properties. Similarly, grass and turf should not be used. Their ability to absorb shock
during a fall can be reduced considerably through wear and environmental conditions.
Certain loose-ll surfacing materials are acceptable. Surfacing materials are acceptable,
such as the types and depths shown in the table.
Fall Heights and Materials
Type Of Material 6 in. depth 9 in. depth 12 in. depth
Double-Shredded bark mulch 6’ Fall Height 10’ Fall Height 11’ Fall Height
Wood Chips 6’ Fall Height 7’ Fall Height 12’ Fall Height
Fine Sand 5’ Fall Height 5’ Fall Height 9’ Fall Height
Shredded Tires* 10-12’ Fall Height N/A N/A
Fine Gravel 6’ Fall Height 7’ Fall Height 10’ Fall Height
*This data is from tests conducted by independent testing laboratories on a 6-inch depth of uncompressed shredded tire samples
produced by four manufacturers. The tests 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.
It should be recognized that all injuries due to falls cannot be prevented no matter what
surfacing material is used.
Page 16
2. Fall Zones - A fall zone, covered with a protective surfacing material, is essential
6
under and around equipment where a child might fall. This area should be free of other
equipment and obstacles onto which a child might fall. Stationary climbing equipment
and slides should have a fall zone extending a Minimum of 6’ in all directions from the
perimeter of the equipment.
Swings should have a fall zone extending a minimum of 6’ from the outer edge of the
support structure on each side. The fall zone in front and back of the swing should
extend out a minimum distance of twice the height of the swing as measured from the
ground to the top of the swing support structure.
LEVELING YOUR FORT DURING ASSEMBLY
• Complete the steps which will be the basic frame of the fort. {i.e. four corner posts with
base (sand box boards) and deck supports}
• Position in the most level area chosen for the play set, keeping in mind the location
and size of the swing beam, ladder, slides, etc. that extend off the fort.
• Once the frame is in the nal position, check for vertical and horizontal levelness to
determine which side(s) will need to be dug into the ground to level the play set.
• With a shovel, score the ground around the outside edges of the sandbox boards on
the ‘high’ side of the fort. This is the area that will be dug in. Make sure to score deep
enough; the scored lines will be your digging template.
• Push the frame off and away from the scored area, far enough to dig and remove dirt
to reach the appropriate depth.
• Dig a channel along the scored line(s) for the base of the fort (corner post and
sandbox boards) to rest into. Dig the channel(s) to the same level depth. The bottom
of the channel(s) should be level to each other so your frame doesn’t teeter or rock
because the channel(s) are uneven.
• Once you have removed enough grass and dirt, slide/push the frame into the
channel(s). Place a level on the vertical and horizontal boards of the frame to determine
if enough soil, or too much, was removed.
• Repeat this process until the basic frame is plumb and level and in its nal position
before completing the rest of the assembly.
• Measure to make sure fort is square.
Important: if you require a channel depth of more than 6”, then we
recommend you have your play set area professionally graded before
completing assembly.
Example Play area:
Side View of
Playset Frame
(Grade is the
Slanted Line)
The diagonal measurements should be the
same from corner post to
corner post. If not, adjust
corner posts so that the
distance is equal.
= Area to be scored and
channeled for levelness

General Info to Review Before Installation
7
• Depending on your experience, assembly of the playset can take as little as 6 hours
up to 24 hours, depending on size, after inventory of parts; therefore, we recommend
you set aside a full two days for assembly.
• Identify all of the parts for your play set. Empty each box and lay out boards so you
can see each part. Your instruction book will have detailed drawings that will make it
easy for you to recognize individual parts. Keep all hardware and metal parts separate
from wooden pieces.
• After everything is laid out, check carefully to ensure all parts are present. Make sure
there are no broken boards.
• Find an area to sort your hardware. It is best to open the hardware on a solid surface
so that you do not lose any pieces in the grass. This will save time and familiarize you
with all the different pieces in the hardware bag.
• Important note: Wood has some natural defects such as knots, surface cracks, etc…
We reject parts that are structurally defective. We use a high quality lumber in our
structures; however, you should inspect each part for splinters or rough spots and sand
them smooth to prevent injury.
• After familiarizing yourself with all of the components, read all instructions thoroughly.
Reading instructions after you have studied the parts will help you understand the
installation process, and help to eliminate unnecessary mistakes.
• Pay close attention to the diameter and length of each bolt and screw.
• Never tighten hardware completely at rst. It helps to have some adjustment for bolt
alignment while you are attaching parts together. After everything is square, tighten
each joint.
• After the main unit is assembled it is critical that the oor is level and square. If the
main frame is not level, the walls and oor will be out of square.
• After you complete installation, make sure every bolt, screw, and nut is tight, and every
board is secure. Wood will expand and contract with the seasons.
• Place the set on level ground, not less than 6 feet from any structure or obstruction
such as a fence, garage, house, overhanging branches, laundry lines, or electrical
wires.
Page 18
This page is a list of denitions and explanations used throughout our
8
instructions to aid you in the assembly of your play set.
Offset Holes- Throughout the installation procedures we will refer to parts with offset
holes. This refers to the orientation of the holes on the board. An offset hole is one that
is closer to one side than it is the other or in other words, it is not centered on the board.
In the procedures you will be instructed to attach the boards with the holes offset up or
with the holes offset down. This refers to which side of the board the hole/holes should
be closer to. Offset holes up= hole/holes will be closer to the top of the board. Offset
holes down= hole/holes will be closer to the bottom of the board. Note: some parts do
not have offset holes, but instead the holes are on center. Therefore there will not be
any reference on how to offset these parts.
EXAMPLE OF OFFSET HOLES UP
EXAMPLE OF OFFSET HOLES DOWN
Counter-sunk holes - Many of the parts that will be used have counter-sunk holes. A
counter-sunk hole is one that surrounds one side of a through hole, but does not extend
through the wood it’s self. When using a counter-sunk hole the bolt will be inserted
through the through hole and either the head of the bolt and washer or nut and washer
will occupy the counter sunk hole.
Counter-Sunk Hole
Through Hole
Lag Screws- Lag screws are used in the construction of our play sets to enhance
the structural integrity of the unit. There will not be predrilled holes in the post for lag
screw installation. Lag screws are self-tapping, though if you are using a manual socket
wrench it may be advantageous to pre-drill a hole rst. Instructions for this are provided
on a separate page in the front of the manual. Be sure to tighten the lags completely
when driving them in by hand. Power tools such as a heavy duty impact driver or large
power drill should have enough torque to drive in the lag screws, but make sure not to
over tighten as this can cause the threads to “strip out” in the post.
Page 19
PRE-DRILL LAG SCREW DIRECTIONS
Pre-drilling holes for lag screws will make it easier to drive the screws in by hand.
9
"Jobber" length drill bits are available in sizes that are longer than standard drill bits and
those are ideal for the job. When using the drill bit you will have to "spot" drill the post
and then remove the board you are attaching to finish drilling the hole.
Pay attention to the DIAMETER of the lag screw you are installing. Your playset may
come with two different diameter lag screws. Each diameter will require a different size
drill bit. When installing lag screws DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
