ABOUT OUR WOOD
Solowave Design™ uses only Premium playground lumber, ensuring the safest product for your children’s
use. Although great care has been taken in selecting the best quality lumber available, wood is a product
of nature and susceptible to weathering (changes in the aesthetics of the wood). A light sanding may be
required to remove minor splinters. For your information, we have described some changes that may occur
as a result of weathering:
1. Checking Checks are surface cracks in the wood along the grain. 4” x 4” material will
experience more checking than 2”, 1-1/4” or 1” material be cause the surface
and interior moisture content will vary more widely than in thinner wood.
2. Warping Warping refers to any distortion (twisting, cupping) from the true plane that
may take place during weathering.
3. Fading Wood exposed to sunlight, will over time, turn a grey color.
Note: The above changes will not affect the strength of the product.
Due to changes in the climate
What causes weathering?
One of the main reasons for weathering is the
effects of water (moisture); the moisture content
of the wood at the surface is different than the
interior of the wood. As the moisture moves in
or out of the wood (result of climate changes),
the different moisture content causes tension
in the wood, which can result in checking and
or warping.
moisture moves in and out
of the wood
Moisture content will vary
throughout any piece of wood.
How can I reduce the amount of weathering to my Play System?
At the factory we have added water repellent to the stain. This water repellent decreases the amount of water
absorption during rain or snow thus decreasing the tension in the wood. Sunlight will break down the water
repellent, so we recommend applying a water repellent on a yearly basis (see your local stain and paint supplier
for a recommended product). Also if storing the product before installation, make sure you store out of direct
sunlight in a cool dry place.
Will weathering affect the strength of my Play System?
Most weathering is just the normal result of nature and will not affect safe play and enjoyment for your child.
However if you are concerned that a part has experienced a severe weathering problem please call our
consumer relations department for further assistance.

Swing Hangers
Swing hangers must be screwed into the wood
the full length of the shaft, so that the triangular
head is touching the wood (see swing hanger
diagram). Failure to correctly install swing hangers
may result in the hanger itself breaking, or the
hanger becoming dislodged from the wood.
Either circumstance can cause serious injury. Big
Backyard cannot assume any responsibility for
incorrect installation of swing hangers.
(Liquid soap may be used as a lubricant for ease
of installation).
NOTE: Follow proper assembly procedure.

through hole. Hand tighten to ensure bolt and
tee-nut connection (this may not be possible due
to coating on hardware, if not use a ratchet), and
then proceed with ratchet. DO NOT over tighten.
Hardware should not crush wood.
NOTE: A 1/4” lock washer and flat washer, are used with

Warning: For your child’s safety orientate the swing
hangers as shown to ensure your swing will have the proper
swinging motion when installed. Failure to do so could result in
the premature breaking off of the swing hanger or swing chain.
Hardware
When making the selection of 1/4” and 5/16”
hardware, carefully read the instructions in each
step of this manual to ensure the proper hardware
is used.
NOTE: 5/16” Hardware is larger in diameter than 1/4”.
The Swing Triangle Plate has a total of 5 holes,
and they are all used depending on where you are
installing it. When installing the plates, pay close
attention to the holes required. When complete,
the swing end should be angled out (away from
fort) approx. 110˚
NOTE: In the event that the thread of a Hex Bolt is
exposed beyond the tee-nut, please disassemble, add
another flat washer to head of hex bolt and reassemble.

1. Insert Dowel into provided holes until the
shoulder of tenon is flush to the face of the
Swing Rail or Access Rail or
Ladder Post.
2. Pre-drill a 3 x 1/8” hole through Rail or Post
prior to securing with wood screw. Securing with
screw prior to pre-drilling may lead to cracking
and must be avoided.
3. Secure dowel in place with approprate wood
screws and instructed within manual.

Before you assemble your fort, please identify and count your boards.
Remember, wood is a product of nature and affected by changes in
weather. Although the wood in this set has been carefully selected, expansion
and contraction may cause slight warping, twisting or
checking of the boards while in the carton. This is a natural
characteristic of wood and
will not
affect the structural integrity of
your set.
Profile dimensions denoted in these instructions are based on wood size before

Before you start assembling your fort, be sure to sort, identify, and count all of
the hardware.
During Assembly DO NOT fully tighten bolts unless instructed. Fully
tightened bolts may not allow for other hole alignments.
IMPORTANT! Before children use the play center, make sure all
hardware is tightened, all ground stakes are installed, and any
remaining wood, hardware packaging materials are removed
from the play area.
Be careful not to over-tighten hardware as it will crush wood fibers
and result in splintering.
