SAFE PLAY AREA
SELECTING THE CORRECT LOCATION FOR YOUR PLAY PRODUCT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOUR
CHILDREN’S SAFETY AND THE PRODUCT’S LONGEVITY.
Play Set Dimensions:
• The Lexington play set has ground dimensions of 8'-3" x 13'-9" (Swing Accessories not included).
• The Lexington play set requires a level ground surface of 21' x 29' for a Safe Play Area (Swing Accessories not included).
• Additional accessories may increase the size of the Safe Play Area.
• The maximum fall height for your Lexington is 60". 7ft Swing beam fall height: 84". 9ft beam fall height: 107".
Safe Play Area:
• The Safe Play Area refers to a zone extending 6' beyond the play set on all sides, including the slide and the space above
the play set. Because children may deliberately jump from a moving swing, the Safe Play Area must be extended to 14
in front of and behind a swinging Accessory.
• The ground surface must be level. Installing your play set on sloping ground can cause it to lean or “rack". This leaning
puts additional stress on all connections and joints and in time will cause those connections to loosen and fail.
• The Safe Play Area must be free of all structures, landscaping, trees and branches, rocks, wires, and other obstacles to
safe play. Children can be seriously injured running, or swinging into these obstacles.
• Remove all tripping hazards from the Safe Play Area. Tripping hazards include; roots, stumps, rocks, landscaping, sprin-
kler heads, railroad ties, plumbing and electrical connections.
• Do not install your play set over concrete, gravel, asphalt, packed earth, or any other hard surface. The following is a list
of recommended ground covers from the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
• Any edging used to contain the ground cover must be beyond the Safe Play Area. (i.e.. Landscape Timbers)
