ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 29 — Swing Beam & Swings:

Install the Swing Beam as instructed by the assembly guide 

included with the Beam.
Hang the Swings and Ring Trapeze in the positions shown 

at right.
U.S. safety standards require a minimum clearance of 8" 

from the bottom of each Swing Accessory to the ground. 

U.K. (& E.U.) safety standards require a minimum clearance 

of 350mm (13-3/4") between the bottom of each Swing Ac-

cessory and the ground.
The height of each Swing Accessory is adjusted by using a 

different link in the chain. Be sure to hang the Swings Ac-

cessories with ground clearance greater than or equal to the 

safety standard for your region.

STEP 30 — Ground Stakes:

Hammer two Ground Stakes (L) next to the Front Left Post 

and Back Right Post as shown. The top of the Ground Stake 

should be minimum of 1/8" below the top of the Sandbox 

Sides. Secure each stake to the adjacent Post using two #10 

x 2-1/2" Screws through the pre-drilled holes.
Hammer Ground Stakes next to the Access Ladder and Rock 

Upright. Secure each stake with two #10 x 2-1/2" Screws 

through the pre-drilled holes. Secure the Beam Legs in the 

same manner.
Note: Do NOT use concrete to set Ground Stakes. Pound a 

metal spike or rod into the ground to start a hole in hard or 

rocky ground.
Inspect your work; make sure all fasteners are secured prop-

erly and the area is clear of hazards before allowing children 

on the Swing Set.
