Step 4: Concrete
1. Verify all posts, decks and components 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 label, 12” from dirt surface on main posts for mulch.
3. Install surfacing.
