INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
FOOTING INFORMATION

You must place the bottom of the support post or slide leg
on a suitable flat blocking material to prevent it from
sinking further into the soil. We recommend you use a
brick, block of wood or several inches of gravel. The
footing depth does not include this blocking material since
materials used often vary.

Total footing depth is 24
” less the height of the surfacing
plus the height of the blocking material. If you are using
12” of surfacing the footing hole would need to be
12
” plus
the height of the blocking material (refer to both the side
and front cutaway views to the right).

If the Play structure is installed on an unlevel grade you
must adjust the footing depth to accommodate the grade.
For instance, if the grade for this component is 1” higher
than the surface grade of the main playground post you
must dig your footing hole 1” deeper.

It is the owner/installers responsibility to check local
building codes and to comply with those codes. All footing
depths listed here are recommendations and local soil types
and frost lines may require a deeper and/or wider footing
depth. If that’s the case you must add more blocking
material to accommodate the deeper footing, as the post
length will still only be installed at the depth listed in this
instruction manual.

Assemble the entire unit before adding the concrete unless
instructed to do so in the individual component instruction
sections.
