This product is intended for single family home/residential use only and not intended for use in any public setting. 

Placement in any public setting constitutes a misuse of this product.

ADDITIONAL REQUIRED SAFETY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

According to ASTM requirements, all kits must be anchored to the ground and, if the unit has a climbing rope, the rope end must be anchored to the ground.  If soil conditions
permit stakes to be pulled out easily, cementing into ground is necessary.

•  To anchor the unit to the ground, Follow the instructions included in this plan for applying Anchor-It devices to your unit, or use 2" x 4" x 18" (45mm x 95mm x 457mm) pressure-

treated stakes.  Pound stakes into ground at least 12" (305mm) at all inside corners of the posts (including A-frame legs and climbing unit posts).  Attach with four (4) 16D (3-1/2")
galvanized nails per stake into each tower and/or A-frame upright.

•  If the unit has a climbing rope, anchor the rope end.  

•  Once the unit is completely assembled and before children are allowed to play on it, proper shock-absorbing surfacing material must be installed.  This may be accomplished by

using loose-fill materials at a sufficient depth.  The Consumer Product Safety Commission “Handbook for Public Playground Safety” lists the following materials and required
depths that are sufficient for home/residential application.  For fall height protection up to 9 ft. (2.742m) [recommended for Swing•N•Slide kits]:

LOOSE FILL MATERIAL

REQUIRED (UNCOMPRESSED) DEPTH

1

in. (mm)

Wood Mulch

9" (229mm)

Double Shredded Bark Mulch

9" (229mm)

Uniform Wood Chips

12" (305mm)

Fine Sand

12" (305mm)

Fine Gravel

12" (305mm)

These depths were derived from the CPSC Handbook.  Swing•N•Slide has not done independent tests to determine these required depths.

When properly installed, shock absorbing material will completely cover the horizontal baseboards on climbing units.  This protective surfacing must extend a minimum of 6 ft.
(1.828m) in all directions from the perimeter of the equipment or from the outermost edges of any component.  For example, a slide extending beyond the platform must have
protective surfacing at least 6 ft. (1.828mm) out from both sides as well as the end.  For swings, the protective surface must extend at least 14 ft. (6m) out from both the back and
front of the swing when the swing is in its rest position.
