ANCHORING
(NOTE: ANCHORS NOT INCLUDED - MUST BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY)
There are different ways of anchoring the equipment, depending on the type of ground on which the
equipment is to be installed. Make sure that all anchors are below ground level to prevent tripping.
You should consult your local licensed contractor to decide the most appropriate way to anchor the
equipment in your location.
The following anchoring options may be considered:
Corkscrew Anchoring (Anchors not included)
If your soil is hard (clay, etc.), the corkscrew method may be suitable.
Be sure that the swing set is located on level ground.
Twist the corkscrew anchor into the ground until only the end with the hook is above the ground and
next to the leg. Insert the hook into the bottom opening of the leg.
Ensure that the hook is secured onto the leg opening.
Concrete Anchoring (Materials not included)
If the swing set is set up on grounds with sandy soil (soft) condition, it must be anchored with concrete
footing
Be sure that the swing set is assembled and placed on level ground
Dig holes around swing leg tube, as shown in drawing in the next page. As you dig deeper, enlarge the
diameter of the hole to fix the cement
Place 2 inches of brick or gravel underneath the leg, as shown in drawing in the next page
Use about 45 lbs. of concrete per leg
Cover the concrete with dirt and protective surface material
Allow 6-7 days for the concrete to dry properly.

for your particular location. You should consult your local licensed contractor to decide the most
