Toddler Climber
Installation Instructions
16. Now we’re onto the slide. Line the slide mounting board up to the slide entrance as shown below, and drill
three holes through the slide using the mounting plate as your guide. Then attach the slide mounting plate
to the slide with the three carriage bolts provided. If the slide isn’t already assembled, you can assemble it
now.
17. Flip the slide over to attach the slide foot. Line the foot up with the predrilled holes on the slide chute as
shown above, and fasten the foot to the chute (slide exit).
18. Lastly we’ll install the slide. Insert the sonotube into the hole we dug for the slide foot in step 6. Lift the
slide up and drop the slide foot into the sonotube, then pull the slide entrance up to the deck aligning the
three holes in the slide entrance mounting plate to the three holes in the deck frame. Fasten the two
together, screwing through the deck frame into the slide entrance mounting board.
19. Check the slide angle using an angle finder (you can download free angle finder apps on your phone) to
ensure its at the desired slope (33-35 degrees).
20. Make sure the slide is level from side to side by placing a level across the side rails near the slide chute so
the level is perpendicular to the slide, and make any adjustments necessary.
21. Fill the slide foot sonotube with fast setting concrete mix adding water per instructions on bag. Recheck
your slope and the level from side to side.
22. Backfill holes and hand tamp good draining soil firmly to 3” below finished grade. Install top soil to finish
grade and plant grass to fill in around holes.
23. All wood is treated with kid-friendly preservative, but as is the case with all wood facing the elements, it
needs to be cared for, so check it periodically for rough spots, splinters, etc, and sand them out, and treat it
with kid-friendly wood preservative (we have it available if you can’t find it) once or twice a year to keep the
wood from deteriorating.
24. Enjoy your Toddler Climber!
