INGROUND STAKES
1: FOR THE TOWER SERIES PLAY SETS TWO INGROUND STAKES ARE REQUIRED. DECIDE UPON THE FINAL POSITION OF THE PLAY
SET. MARK THE GROUND AT THE FRONT RIGHT CORNER AND REAR LEFT CORNER. THEN YOU AND AN ASSISTANT WILL NEED TO
MOVE THE PLAY SET AWAY FROM THE AREA SO THAT THE HOLES MAY BE DUG.
2: USE A POST HOLE DIGGER OR SHOVEL TO DIG DOWN 19" AT EACH LOCATION. NOW MOVE THE PLAY SET BACK TO THE
PRIOR POSITION. LEVEL AND SQUARE THE PLAY SET AS SHOWN IN STEP 6A THEN RETURN TO THIS PAGE TO INSTALL THE
INGROUND STAKES.
3: PLACE THE SPACER BLOCK AGAINST THE CORNER POST. DRILL 11/64" HOLES BY 2" DEEP THROUGH THE HOLES IN THE
SPACER BLOCK INTO THE CORNER POST. PLACE THE INGROUND STAKE INTO THE HOLE. LINE UP THE HOLES IN THE INGROUND
STAKE WITH THE HOLES IN THE SPACER BLOCK.
4: SECURE THE INGROUND STAKE TO THE CORNER POST WITH TWO 3/8" X 5" LAG SCREWS AND TWO 3/8" FLAT WASHERS.
REPEAT SUBSTEPS 3 AND 4 FOR THE OTHER INGROUND STAKE.
5: MIX UP SOME CONCRETE ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURERS DIRECTIONS AND FILL THE HOLES WHERE THE INGROUND
STAKES ARE LOCATED. FILL THE HOLES UP SO THEY ARE LEVEL WITH THE SURFACE OF THE GROUND. IF YOU ARE NOT
INSTALLING MULCH OR SAFETY SURFACING AROUND YOUR SET, THEN ONLY FILL THE HOLES UP UNTIL THE CONCRETE IS 2"
BELOW THE TOP SURFACE OF THE DIRT. THEN PLACE DIRT ON TOP OF THE CONCRETE ONCE IT SETS.
