Play set Dimensions:
• the manchester Fun Deck Assembly has ground dimensions of 7'-0" x 5’-0"
• the manchester Fun Deck Play set Accessory adds 7'-0" to the safe Play Area at the end of your gym.
• Additional accessories may increase the size of the safe Play Area.
• the maximum fall height for your manchester Fun Deck is 120" as measured from the top of the Wall supports.
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, landscap-
ing, sprinkler 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 follow-
ing is a list of recommended ground covers from the consumer Product safety commission.
