When choosing a location for your swing set, always keep your child or children’s safety in mind. Here are some
recommendations to help you locate and install a safe play area.
●
This play set is designed for the use of 4 occupants who have a combined weight not exceeding 800 pounds
on the elevated floor; 3 occupants who have a combined weight of 525 pounds on the swing area; for a total Unit
capacity of 5 occupants who have a combined weight of 1325. (this weight is not including the picnic table area)
●
On-site adult supervision is required.
●
The swing set should be located on level ground. The stationary components such as ladders and slides
are required to be a minimum of six feet from any structure or obstruction such as a fence, garage, house,
tree, overhanging branches, electrical wires, clotheslines, etc. Any swinging equipment is also required to be a
minimum distance twice the height of the swing beam away from these obstructions or structures as well. The
swing set should be located a safe distance from any water hazards, such as a lake, river, bayou, swimming pool, etc.
●
Do not install this residential swing set in a commercial setting. This swing set is not manufactured
for commercial usage and will void all warranties. Tree Frogs Wooden Swing Set Factory is not
responsible for any damages or injuries resulting from this swing set being used in a commercial setting.
●
Never install this swing set indoors; or over concrete, asphalt, packed earth, grass, carpet or any other
hard surface. A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious or fatal injury.
●
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recommends that you install and maintain a resilient
surface under your swing set. The CPSC’s Consumer Information Sheet for Playground Surfacing Materials is on
the next page. A resilient surface, should be installed after the swing set has been completely assembled according
to these instructions. The swing set must rest on solid ground. Please note that this swing set has a maximum fall height of 7’.
Here are some maintenance tips required to insure safe play on your swing set for
years of fun.
●
At the beginning of each usage season and every two weeks during, check: nuts and bolts
and tighten as needed,swing seats, chains, ladders, slides, rope and wood components for sign of
deterioration and replace if necessary.
●
On a yearly basis, we recommend that you coat your swing set with a sealant or preservative.
You may also wantto spot sand any areas prior to sealing.
** Special note: Although we recommend that you reseal your swing set annually, you may have
to touch up the high traffic areas and/or areas that have a high exposure to direct sunlight.**
● Be sure that the sealant you select is non-toxic and child safe. Your local Tree Frogs Wooden
Swing Set Factory dealer may offer a complete power wash and reseal and maintenance program.
●
Do not use line trimmers or “weed eaters” around your swing set. The line will remove both paint
and wood from uprights and base pieces. Any damage resulting from this type of abuse is not covered
under our limited warranty.
●
Remove plastic swing seats and take in doors or do not use when temperature drops below 0°F.
Please keep this install manual for future reference.
