FOOTING NOTES
• Support post footing depth equals 36 in. (914 mm) less the depth of the protective
surfacing material. The post is designed to have 24" (610 mm) in concrete.
Example: If 6 in. (152 mm) of wood mulch is used for surfacing, the footing
depth would be 30 in. (762 mm).
• All support posts and component support legs shall have either a factory-applied
sticker with line, or factory-applied mark designating protective surfacing level
on a clear and level installation site.
• If play structure is installed on uneven terrain, maintain support post mark at
protective surfacing level at lowest grade. Adjust other footings accordingly.
Support posts and all attaching decks and play components must be plumb
and level.
• Do not encase bottom of support post in concrete. Place post directly on packed
stone.
• The footings shown on Playworld Systems’ documentation are recommendations
based on historical performance in average soil conditions. Footing dimensions
may be modifi ed by the owner based on actual soil conditions.
For example:
- If local soil is loose or unstable, a larger footing may be required.
- If local soil is considered stable, such as bedrock, clay or hard packed earth, a
smaller footing may be used. Before changing footing dimensions, we strongly
recommend that the footings be reviewed and approved by a registered
engineer.
• Base of footing must be below frost line.
• Assemble the entire structure before pouring concrete unless specifi cally
instructed to do so in the individual component installation instructions.
