MAINTENANCE

Activity on your playset and optional accessories may loosen fasteners. Check all lock nuts, hex and
lag bolts, quick clips, spring clips, acorn nuts, wood screws, and swing hangers for tightness and
tighten as required. T-nuts should be inspected for full and proper seating into the wood.

Checking, splitting and surface cracking are characteristics of all wooden playsets. This is caused by varying
seasonal temperatures and moisture conditions. To minimize this checking and/or cracking you may coat your
playset with a water repellent.

The color of your playset is from a process called MicroShade ™ and involves adding pigment into the wood
as it is pressure treated. This process results in colorant throughout the wood which helps minimize surface
markings being visible. The appearance of your playset with MicroShade will last about two years with no
stain application. You may wish to apply a water repellent which will bene fi t the wood and help minimize
splitting, checking and surface cracking
