CREATIVE PLAYTHINGS PLAY SETS USE A FEW STANDARD CONNECTIONS. BECOME FAMILIAR WITH 

THESE CONNECTIONS TO EASE ASSEMBLY AND ENSURE A SAFER PLAY PRODUCT FOR YOUR CHILDREN.

 

Hex Bolt & Weld Nut Assembly Procedure:

Assembly Layout:

Align the holes in the parts to be fastened. Start 

preliminary tightening of bolt into weld nut by 

hand. Tighten each bolt with a wrench until the 

lock washer is fully compressed between the 

head of the bolt and the flat washer.

Correct Assembly:

Bolt has been screwed securely into weld nut 

and the connection is tight. Check connec-

tions periodically for tightness during the life 

of the Playset . 

Do not over tighten.

Incorrect Assembly:

During assembly or maintenance the bolt pro-

trudes 1/8" past the weld nut. Call customer 

service or replace the bolt at a local hardware 

store. You may be overtightening or using the 

wrong size bolt.

Failure to replace this bolt with a shorter 

one could result in serious injury.

Typical Installation - Lag Screws:

•  Pilot drill with the appropriate  

diameter drill bit and then use 

a socket to tighten.

•  DO NOT over tighten

Typical Installation - Wood Screws:

•  Use an electric drill or screw gun to drive screws.
•  Drill 1/8" pilot holes where required.
•  We recommend that you lubricate the 

threads of the screws with beeswax or 

soap to ease installation and minimize 

breaking screws.

• 

It is very important to make certain 

that the tops of all screws are flush 

with  the  surface  of  the  wood  and 

there are no protruding sharp edges.
