Additional Maintenance:
•
Check the swing beam and hardware every two weeks due to wood expansion
and contraction. It is particularly important that this procedure be followed at the
beginning of each season.
•
Inspect all wood members monthly. The grain of the wood sometimes will lift in
the dry season causing splinters to appear. Light sand may be necessary to
maintain a safe playing environment. Treat your play house with stain regularly,
to help prevent severe checking/splitting and other weather damage.
•
We have applied a waterborne transparent stain to your unit. This is done for
color only. 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 play house.
Please
note this is a requirement of your warranty.
•
Creating and maintaining the Play house on a level location is very important.
Make sure the play house is level and true once each year or at the beginning of
each play season.
•
Rake the surface periodically to prevent compaction and maintain appropriate
depths.
Owners shall be responsible for maintaining the legibility of the warning labels.
