1. Select an area in your yard that is reasonably level and meets the space requirements for your equipment. Ground
Space: 17’ x 19’, Play Space: 21’ x 31’.
2. Please refer to the Top Rail/Out Rigger assembly sheet and assemble your top rails as instructed.
3. Using the measurements from the top view diagram, measure and mark the position of the swing hangers and lad-
ders on each of the top rails. Set aside.
4. Place over head ladder onto the ground in the desired location. Measure and adjust as necessary to allow for the
proper play space.
5. With the Horizontal ladder in its proper position in the yard, mark the location for the holes where the two vertical
ladders will stand. Move the horizontal ladder and dig the holes. (See #1 hole sizes for cementing.)
6. Lay each vertical ladder on the ground near the hole where it will eventually stand. Make a mark 15” from the top
of the ladder onto each ladder rail. Move the adjustable sleeves to these marks and position them to receive the
overhead ladder by turning them to point at a 90 degree angle (towards what will become the inside of the structure)
away from the upright ladder. Repeat this process with the 10’ ladder making your marks at 39”. Secure the set
screws.
7. Insert the 8’ top rail into the top sleeve of the ladder. Secure the set screws.
8. Place the ladder into its hole. Hint: Be sure that the adjustable sleeves are prepared to receive the horizontal ladder.
9. Lay the 10’ ladder on the ground with the bottom of the ladder just over the hole where it will eventually stand.
10. Place the 16’ outrigger about 12’ away from the hole. Assemble and attach the swing hangers to the 16’ outrigger.
11. Position the outrigger upside down on the ground. Assemble the “A” frame legs. (See #2 A frame leg assembly.)
Slide the outrigger into the top sleeve of the vertical ladder.
12. Using two strong adults, stand the structure up and allow the ladder to fall into the hole previously dug. Check and
make sure that the outrigger is still properly positioned inside of the ladder top sleeve. The out rigger can be ad-
justed as follows: While securely holding the ladder, take hold of the A-frame portion and push or pull as necessary.
When you are satisfied that the outrigger is properly positioned inside the ladder top sleeve, secure the set screws.
Note: The unit will not be level at this point.
13. Adjust the A frame legs in the play space as desired.
14. Mark the holes for the A frame legs. Move the legs out of the way and dig the holes. Hint: Keep most of the hole to
the inside of the leg.
15. Place the legs into the holes.
16. Using two strong adults, lift and slide the horizontal ladder onto the adjustable sleeves at the swings side of the struc-
ture and secure the set screws. (See #4 overhead ladder to upright ladder assembly.) Hint: Do not push the over-
head ladder tight against the vertical ladders. Leave a ½” - 1” gap between the vertical ladder rails and the overhead
ladder. This will allow for easier adjustment of the overhead ladder in the future.
17. Bring the other vertical ladder up to the horizontal ladder and secure set screws as before.
18. Attach the swing hangers and chains onto the 8’ top rail.
19. Measure away from the 10’ ladder about 5-1/2’ and dig the hole for the third leg.
20. Drop the third leg into the hole and attach to the bolt welded at the top of the ladder. Securely tighten using a 3/8”
nyloc nut. Hint: The third leg can be useful when leveling the structure.
21. Measure the height of the top rail to insure proper swing height.
22. Level the structure.
23. Mix concrete according to the package directions. Pour the concrete. You will use approximately seven 80# bags in
each ladder hole and 1-1/2 bags in each of the other holes. (See #1 Hole sizes for cementing in the set.)
24. Allow the concrete to cure 3 - 5 days before using.
25. Attach the chains and swing seats and enjoy your Component Playground.
