 Sort and lay out the wood pieces. Label each piece of wood for easy reference. For easy

identification during the assembly process, write the board’s letter on masking tape and adhere to

each piece of the wood. Some wooden components may twist or warp in the carton after packaging.

The following guidelines are extracts from the Consumer Product Safety Commission Outdoor
Home Playground Safety Handbook. It is recommended that you read the entire handbook and
take necessary precautions to prevent serious injuries to your children, including:

CHOOSING A SITE

 When you choose a home playground, a location away from roads and driveways and readily visible

from inside the home and patios or porches, is important.
 Create a site free of obstacles that could cause injuries-such as low overhanging tree branches,

overhead wires, tree stumps and/or roots, large rocks, bricks and concrete.
 Choose a level location for the equipment. This can reduce the likelihood of the play set tipping over

 Locate play set at least 2 meters from any structure or obstacles, such as a house, fence, sheds,

trees or poles. Swings should be further away from structures to the front and rear of the swings-a

distance equal to twice the height of the top bar from which the swing is suspended.
 Locate bare metal platforms and slides out of direct sunlight to reduce the likelihood of serious burns.

A slide that faces north will receive the least direct sunlight.

Loose-Fill Materials

 Maintain a minimum depth of 23cm of loose-fill materials such as wood mulch/chips, engineered

wood fiber(EWF), or shredded/recycled rubber mulch for equipment up to 244cm high; and 23cm of

sand or pea gravel for equipment up to 152cm high. NOTE: An initial fill level of 31cm will compress

to about a 9-inch depth of surfacing over time. The surfacing will also compact, displace, and settle,

and should be periodically refilled to maintain at least a 23cm depth.
 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.
 Check and maintain the depth of the loose-fill surfacing material. To maintain the right am
