CONCRETE – Mix the concrete according to the directions.
DO NOT mix directly in the hole. Fill each hole to within 2
inches of the original surface. Crown for drainage, and cure 48
hours.
SECURE AREA – Fence off or lock area to insure that NO
ONE can play on the playground until it is completely finished.
You may consider contacting local law enforcement to inform
them of the new installation and ask them to check the area
frequently during the night.
BACKFILL AND CLEANUP – 48 hours after pouring
cement, backfill all of the holes with dirt to the original ground
level and make sure the area is free of any tools, hardware, or
sharp objects.
SURFACING – Use the chart on page 8 to decide how much
safety surfacing is required. Before spreading loose fill
surfacing, be sure to install a weed barrier outside the fall zone
dimension, then spread the safety surfacing.
LAST THING – Make one more tour around the playground
and physically make sure all hardware is tight.
OPEN FOR PLAY – After the safety surfacing is installed and the
hardware has been checked for tightness, your playground is ready for
play.
MAINTENANCE - Consult your instruction booklet for the
maintenance checklist. Schedule and complete periodic
maintenance checks of the entire playground. If any hardware
is worn, or any item missing or broken, close the playground
and contact your SportsPlay distributor for replacement parts.
Check resilient surfacing depths, move or add additional
surfacing if necessary. Make sure the playground area remains
free of obstacles, broken glass or other sharp objects.
