portion and push or pull as necessary. When you are satisfied that the top rail is properly positioned
inside the ladder top sleeve, secure the set screws. Note: The unit will not be level at this point.
16. Adjust the A frame legs in the play space as desired.
17. Mark the holes for the A frame legs. Move the legs out of the way and dig the holes. Hint: Keep most
of the hole to the inside of the leg.
18. Place the legs into the holes.
19. Using two strong adults, lift and slide the horizontal ladder onto the adjustable sleeves at the swings
side of the structure and secure the set screws. (See #4 overhead ladder to upright ladder
assembly.) Hint: Do not push the overhead ladder tight against the vertical ladders. Leave a ½” - 1”
gap between the vertical ladder rails and the overhead ladder. This will allow for easier adjustment of
the overhead ladder in the future.
20. Bring the other vertical ladder up to the horizontal ladder and secure set screws as before.
21. Attach the swing hangers and chains onto the 8’ top rail.
22. Before installing the third leg, locate the un-smashed end of the third leg with the hole drilled
approximately 3” from the bottom. Insert ⅜” x 3½” Hex Bolt and loosely thread ⅜” Nut on the other
side. Nut will not thread all the way on and bolt will be loose. (This is to act as an anchor in the
concrete and does not need to be tight.)
23. Measure away from the 10’ ladder about 5-1/2’ and dig the hole for the third leg.
24. Drop the third leg into the hole and attach to the bolt welded at the top of the ladder. Securely
tighten using a 3/8” nyloc nut. Hint: The third leg can be useful when leveling the structure.
25. Measure the height of the top rail to insure proper swing height.
26. Level the structure.
27. Attach the slide bracket to the 8’ ladder. Attach the slide to the bracket.
28. Mix concrete according to the package directions. Pour the concrete. You will use approximately 6-7
80# bags in each ladder hole and 1-1/2 bags in each of the other holes. (See installation instructions
#1 Hole sizes for cementing in the set.)
29. Allow the concrete to cure 3 - 5 days before using.
30. Attach the chains and swing seats and enjoy your Component Playground.
