The instructions and owner’s manual for your new Playcenter should be read in its
entirety before assembly, to minimize problems and safety issues. We recommend
reading the owner’s manual thoroughly after you have identified all of the parts for your
Playcenter as discussed in the Helpful Installations Hints section below.
Positioning Your Play center
1. The Playcenter is designed to be installed on a level surface
by an Adult with an Adult
helper
. Try to place in a flat area of your yard to minimize ground preparation.
2. Choose a level location for the equipment. This can reduce the likelihood of the play set
tipping over and loose-fill surfacing material washing away during heavy rains.
3. Place the equipment not less than 6 ft from any structure or obstruction such as a fence,
garage, house, overhanging branches, laundry lines, or electrical wires.
4. Provide enough room so that the children can use the equipment safely. For example, for
structures with multiple play activities, a slide should not exit in front of a swing.
5. It is a good idea to place your Playcenter in an area that is convenient for adults to watch
children at play.
6. Create a site free of obstacles that could cause injuries – such as low overhanging tree
branches, overhead wires, tree stumps and/or roots, large rocks, bricks and concrete. We
have additional suggestions in the Suggested Playground Surfacing Section.
7. Do not build your playset on top of surfacing material.
8. Locate bare metal platforms and slides out of direct sunlight to reduce the likelihood of
serious burns. A slide that faces north will receive the least direct sunlight.
9.
Separate active and quiet activities from each other. For example, locate sandboxes away
from swings or use a guardrail or barrier to separate the sandbox from the movement of
the swings.
