LOCATION OF PLAY SET
1. The equipment must be placed more than six (6) feet (1.8 meters) from any structures
or obstructions, including but not limited to buildings, fence, garage, trees, laundry
lines, electrical wires. Children can be seriously injured running or swinging into
obstacles.
2. The swing set must be installed on level ground. Uneven ground must be levelled prior
to installation. Installation on sloping or uneven ground will put stress on the joints,
causing the unit to become loose and unstable which may result in serious injuries.
3. Remove any tripping hazards from the safe play area, such as roots, tree stumps,
rocks, landscaping, sprinkler heads, railroad ties, plumbing and electrical connections.
4. It is highly recommended that you seek the opinion from a local licensed contractor on
the best way to secure the swing set in your location.
5. Windy conditions: it is possible for the product to be blown about by a high wind. If you
anticipate high winds, the frame should be secured to the ground with the use of an
Anchor kit. If you anticipate severe winds, the product should be moved to a sheltered
location or completely disassembled.
6. Do not install your play set over hard surface, e.g. asphalt, concrete, packed earth,
tile or brick floor. A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury or death to
the user. The following is a list of recommended ground covers from the Consumer
Product Safety Commission:

The Consumer Product Safety Commission’s Outdoor Home Playground Safety Handbook
recommends to install and maintain the playground equipment over at least 9 inches
(23cm) of wood chips, mulch or shredded rubber (for equipment up to 8 feet high (244cm))
or sand or pea gravel (for equipment no more than 5 feet high(152cm)) as shock absorbing
material. Dirt and grass, which are the most prevalent surfaces under home playground
equipment, do not adequately protect children from serious head injuries. Install
protective surfacing at least six feet in all directions from play equipment. For swings,
the surface should extend, in back and front, twice the height of the suspending bar. You
should consult a local contractor about ways to secure the product in your location. Do not
