If you are assembling this structure in one day, disregard this step
. When you are satisfied that the structure is
level, mix and pour the concrete according to the package directions. You will use approximately six to seven 80#
bags in both the ladder hole and post hole, one to one and a half bags in each Play House leg hole.
It is best to allow the concrete to cure at least overnight before proceeding with the installation. The next phase
will require placing heavy parts, body weight and movement onto the Play House platform. It is important that
you look at the new concrete and make your best determination as to whether or not it is safe to continue with the
next phase. Concrete will cure faster in warm conditions and slower in cold conditions. The package directions on
the concrete you buy will indicate approximate curing times. If you are in doubt, it is better to wait longer
allowing the concrete more time to cure.
The amount of concrete to be used in each hole may vary. For example: If you are installing your play structure
into a grassy area, you may want to leave the concrete about three to four inches low in the hole. This will allow
you to replace the sod and have enough depth of soil that the grass will grow the same as before the playground
was installed. As a result of this, you will use a lesser amount of concrete than someone who chooses to fill the
concrete to the top of the hole. The concrete should only be filled to the top of the hole if you are planning to
install 6 – 12 inches of soft fall ground cover. The concrete footings should never be exposed as this presents a
potential risk of injury to those who use this play equipment.
