9. MAINTENANCE OF YOUR DREAMCATCHER

Take down your Dreamcatcher when not in use for long periods of time, this will help prevent UV damage

and weathering of materials and unsupervised usage.

At the beginning of each play season:

• Tighten all hardware - check all connections for any hint of looseness, damage, deterioration, excess wear, rope

fraying, breaks or sharp edges and replace as necessary.

• Check all protective coverings on bolts, pipes, edges, and corners. Replace if they are loose, cracked,

or missing.

• Check all moving parts for wear, rust, or other deterioration. Replace as needed.

• Check metal parts for rust. If found, sand and repaint using a non-lead-based paint meeting the

• requirements of 16 CFR 1303.

• Use only b4Adventure replacement parts

Once a month during play season:

• Check all protective coverings on bolts, pipes, edges, and corners. Replace if they are loose, cracked,

or missing.

• Check all moving parts: including all grips for wear, rust, or other deterioration. Replace as needed.

• Perform the Load Stress test.

• If using a step ladder or other platform, inspect it every month for looseness, stability & wear.

Twice a month during play season:

• Tighten all hardware - Check all protective coverings on bolts, pipes, edges, and corners. Replace if they are

loose, cracked, or missing.

• Rake and check depth of loose fill protective surfacing materials to prevent compaction and to maintain

appropriate depth. Replace as necessary.

At the end of each play season or when the temperature drops below 32° F (0° C): 

• Inspect all parts for wear/damage. Replace as needed before next season of use.

• Take down your entire Dreamcatcher setup and store indoors.

X.3.1.1 Loose-Fill Materials: 

Maintain a minimum depth of 9 in. (23 cm) of loose-fill materials such as

wood mulch/chips, engineered wood fiber (EWF), or shredded/recycled rubber mulch for equipment up to

8 ft high (2.5 m); and 9 in. (23 cm) of sand or pea gravel for equipment up to 5 ft (1.5 m) high. NOTE: An initial fill

level of 12 in. (30 cm) will compress to about a 9 in. (23 cm) depth of surfacing over time. The surfacing will also

compact, displace, and settle, and should be periodically refilled to maintain a least a 9 in. (23 cm) depth.
