Maintenance Of Your Playground
We hope you and your family are enjoying many hours of fun with your Component Playgrounds
products, and we thank you for your business. Our goal is to make durable functional products out of
the best materials available. Your product should be mostly maintenance free, however, over the years
you should consider the following suggestions with regard to upkeep of your Component Playgrounds
products:
1.
Chain & Connectors
- These products are coated with the highest quality zinc coating
available. Over time they may become discolored or eventually rust, this depends on
environmental conditions. These items should be inspected regularly for wear and
replaced as needed.
2.
Swing Hangers
- These parts are coated with bright zinc plating. Over time swing
hangers may become discolored or eventually rust. Should this happen, a touch-up with
cold galvanizing compound paint in a spray can followed with a top coat of silver
aluminum paint also in a spray can, will make them look new again. (These paints are
available at Component Playgrounds and many lumber and hardware stores.) Bearings
in the swing hangers are pre-greased and sealed and normally do not need additional
lubrication. All swing hanger parts should be regularly inspected for wear and replaced
as needed. Note: twisting the chain while swinging will put extra wear on the swing
hanger parts.
3.
Gliders
- Glider bushings should be lubricated as needed with grease. Glider safety
bumpers should be inspected regularly and replace as needed.
4.
Tire Swing Swivels
- Lubricate tire swing regularly to prevent excessive wear.
5.
Welds
- All welds are coated with cold galvanizing compound paint with a top coat of
silver aluminum paint , both in spray cans. Upon inspection of the welds, if any rust or
discoloration appears, simply apply another coat to the area to keep it looking new.
(Cold galvanizing and silver aluminum paint are available at most lumber and hardware
stores or at Component Playgrounds.)
6.
Wood Decks
- Stain the deck as needed to prolong the life of the redwood. As a
suggestion indoor/outdoor carpet works well on the deck to cut down on maintenance.
7.
Vinyl Canopies/ Rubber Swing Seats
- Inspect periodically and replace as needed.
8.
Slides
- Inspect periodically to ensure slide surface is in good condition.
9.
Set Screws
- Make sure all set screws are in place and tighten if needed.
10.
Basketball Equipment
- Check to be sure all nuts are tight and in place & grease any
required areas as needed. Replacement nets are available at Component Playgrounds.
Thank You again for your business and have many fun years using your equipment from
Component Playgrounds.
