Step 3: Post & Component Installation
1.
We recommend installing the posts once the post are square and level
you may add the concrete (concrete with a minimum of 2,500 psi should
be used). Mix concrete per manufacturers instructions and let it cure for
at least 24 hours before continuing.
2.
NEVER LEAVE THE INSTALLATION SITE UNATTENDED
WITHOUT ROPING OFF THE AREA AND EQUIPMENT,
INSTALLING ALL HARDWARE, SECURING TOOLS AND
EQUIPMENT, AND COVERING OPEN HOLES WITH A RIGID
MATERIAL (PLYWOOD). CHILDREN WILL TRY TO USE
THE EQUIPMENT EVEN THOUGH ITS NOT FULLY
ASSEMBLED. YOU MUST TAKE ACTION TO PREVENT
INJURY AND DAMAGE.
Step 4: Concrete
1.
Verify all swing posts and fittings are tight, level and square. Once the
unit is verified to be level and square you may start installing concrete.
You must use concrete with a minimum of 2,500 psi.
2.
Always pre mix the concrete to the manufactures directions before
pouring it into the hole. Never put dry concrete in the hole. Typically
each main posthole requires two 80-pound bags of concrete.
3.
Allow concrete to set in accordance with manufacturers directions. Fill
holes too about 2” below the surface with concrete. Once the hole has
been filled with concrete, slope the top of the concrete down and away
from the post to keep water from seeping between the post and the
concrete.
4.
Secure playground area to prevent access while the concrete is setting
for a minimum of 48 hours.
5.
SportsPlay recommends having a CPSI (certified playground safety
inspector) present during installation. If that’s not possible you should
have the completed playground (after surfacing is in place) inspected by
a CPSI.
Step 5: Last Step
1.
After concrete has completely set, backfill all holes with dirt.
2.
Install surfacing.
