ANCHORING
At locations shown screw Playset Anchors into
ground by hand (a long screwdriver will help).
Use the anchor as a drill guide and drill a
¹⁄₄
" hole
2
¹⁄₂
" deep into the board. Attach with
³₈
" x 3" lag
screw and
³₈
" washer.
Note: If soil conditions permit anchors to be pulled out
easily, such as in sandy soil conditions, cementing
is required. If your ground is too hard to screw in the
anchors, or you are having trouble lining up anchor
with existing hole in tower, you can remove the earth
with a shovel. Install the anchors and compact the
earth as you replace it. Anchors must be placed below
the level of the shock-absorbing surfacing material to
prevent tripping or injury resulting from a fall.
Reminder: Be sure to install proper shock-absorbing
surfacing material. Refer to the Safety Guide at
the beginning of this plan.
