STEP 1
Refer to PLAN VIEW and FOOTING LAYOUT to locate swing frame.
STEP 2
Excavate footing as shown in FOOTING LAYOUT and FOOTING DETAIL. Place a 2” spacer block in the
bottom of each hole.
STEP 4
Verify that swing frame is level and plumb in footings and that it is at correct height. Center of top bar
needs to be 96” above finished surfacing. Pour concrete in footings to correct level.
NOTE:
Concrete
must have a minimum rating of 2,500 psi and must be mixed per manufacturer’s recommendations. Fill
remainder of hole with dirt.
Allow concrete to harden for at least 48 hours before use!
STEP 5
Install appropriate age level sticker on swing frame. Full bucket seats require a 2-5 label - all other
seats require a 5-12 label. For safety reasons, do not attach swing chains or seats to swing frame until
playground is ready to open.
NOTE:
Swing seats and chains sold separately.
