1. Select an area in your yard that is reasonably level and meets the space requirements for your equipment. PH35-10 Ground
space: 8’ x 32’. Play space: 12’ x 43’.
2. Position the horizontal ladder in your yard where you want the unit to finally stand. Measure and be certain that all
necessary clearances for the deck and swinging space are available in this position.
3. Using a tape measure and marker, mark location of the Ladder and swing hangers along the 5’ top rail. See the detail on
the front page of your installation instructions.
4. With the horizontal ladder in position on the ground, locate and mark the holes for the two upright ladders. Move the
horizontal ladder out of the way and dig the holes for the upright ladders. (See #1: Hole size for upright ladder)
5. 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 of the 8’ four rung. Make a mark 39” from the top of the ladder onto each ladder rail of the
10’ ladder. Move the adjustable sleeves to these marks and position them to receive the horizontal 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.
Secure the set screws.
6. Place the vertical ladders onto their sides. Hint: The 8’ four rung is used for access to the deck. The 10’ three rung is to be
used at the swings end away from the deck. The ladder rungs should be positioned to allow for access into the Playhouse.
Attach the overhead ladder to the vertical ladders and secure the set screws. See #4 horizontal ladder connection to
upright ladder. Hint: Do not push the overhead ladder tight against the vertical ladders. Leave a ½” to 1” gap between
the vertical ladder rails and the overhead ladder. This will allow for easier adjustment of the overhead ladder in the
future.
7. Using two strong adults, stand the horizontal ladder portion into the holes previously dug.
8. Insert the 5’ top rail into the top sleeve of the vertical ladder that will be used to access the Playhouse deck.
9. Measure the height of the top rail to insure proper swing height. Level the structure.
10. Refer to: Playhouse Assembly and Installation Instructions. Assemble the Playhouse deck and structure, and position the
deck as shown.
11. Attach the slide as shown on the slide assembly sheet.
12. Attach any additional climbers as may be necessary.
13. Using a tape measure and marker, measure and mark the locations of the swing hangers and the vertical ladder along the
length of the 8’ top rail. (Refer to the detail on the front page of the PH 35 installation instructions.)
14. Install the 8’ top rail into the top sleeve of the vertical ladder at the swing end of the horizontal ladder. Securely tighten
the set screws in the top sleeve of the vertical ladder.
15. Assemble swing hangers as shown on the swing hanger assembly sheet and attach to the top rails as instructed.
16. Using a hammer, install the 2-3/8” plugs into the open ends of the top rails.
17. Before installing the third leg, locate the un-smashed end of the third leg with the hole drilled approximately 3” from the
bottom. Insert ⅜” x 3½” Hex Bolt and loosely thread ⅜” Nut on the other side. Nut will not thread all the way on and
bolt will be loose. (This is to act as an anchor in the concrete and does not need to be tight.)
18. Install the third leg onto the 10’ ladder by first measuring away from the ladder about 5-1/2’. Mark the spot and dig the
hole about 18” deep. Drop the leg into the hole and place the smashed end over the bolt that is welded to the ladder top
sleeve.
19. Securely fasten the third leg to the ladder with a 3/8” nyloc nut. Hint: The third leg can be used to help level the structure
by pushing or pulling the ladder as may be necessary.
20. Check the level of the entire structure and adjust as necessary.
21. When you are satisfied that the structure is level, mix and pour the concrete according to the package directions. You will
use approximately seven 80# bags in the ladder hole and 1 ½ bags in each of the leg holes.
22. Allow the concrete to cure completely before using your swing set. (3-5 days).
23. Attach chains and swinging items and enjoy your Component Playground.
