clothes-line, …
7. In this safety area no hard, angular or pointed objects should be present. The surface underneath the
product should be flat and shockabsorbing. The product must not be placed on asphalt, concrete or any
other hard surface. We advise the removal and storage of all accessories during the winter because the
characteristics of the soil (when frozen) are not suitable for safe play.
