PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING 

*Before digging, Please obey local laws by notifying your local utilities marking 

organization* 

1. Select an area in your yard that is reasonably level and meets the space requirements for your 

equipment. Ground Space: 28’ x 31’, Play Space: 34’ x 42’.  

2. Please refer to the Top Rail/Out Rigger assembly sheet and assemble your top rails as instructed.  

3. Using the measurements from the top view diagram, measure and mark the position of the swing 

hangers and ladders on each of the top rails. Set aside.  

4. Place over head ladder onto the ground in the desired location. Measure and adjust as necessary to 

allow for the proper play space.  

5. With the Horizontal ladder in its proper position in the yard, mark the location for the holes where the 

two vertical ladders will stand. Move the horizontal ladder and dig the holes. (See installation 
instructions hole sizes for cementing.)  

6. Lay each vertical ladder on the ground near the hole where it will eventually stand. Make a mark 15” 

from the top of the ladder onto each ladder rail. Move the adjustable sleeves to these marks and 

position them to receive the overhead ladder by turning them to point at a 90 degree angle (towards 
what will become the inside of the structure) away from the upright ladder. Repeat this process with 
the 10’ ladder. Make your marks at 39”. Secure the set screws.  

7. Insert the 9’ top rail into the top sleeve of the 8’ ladder. Secure the set screws.  
8. Place the ladder into its hole. Hint: Be sure that the adjustable sleeves are prepared to receive the 

horizontal ladder.  

9. Lay the 10’ ladder on the ground with the bottom of the ladder just over the hole where it will 

eventually stand.  

10. Measure and mark the position on the top rail where the 24’ top rail will rest inside the top sleeve of 

the vertical ladder.  

11. Insert the 24’ top rail into the top sleeve (insert the set screws into the holes in the top sleeve but do 

not tighten yet.)  

12. Assemble both triple ends to the top rail.  

13. Assemble the swing hangers and attach to the 24’ top rail.  
14. Position the top rail upside down on the ground. Assemble the “A” frame legs. (See installation 

instructions for A frame leg assembly.)  

15. Using three strong adults, stand the structure up and allow the ladder to fall into the hole previously 

dug. Check and make sure that the top rail is still properly positioned inside of the ladder top sleeve. 
The top rail can be adjusted as follows: While securely holding the ladder, take hold of the A-frame
