COMPONENTS
Mounting
Instructions
Note: Using a scrap of wood between the end of the stake and the
hammer will reduce the likelihood of the end of the stake splitting.
Note: If soil conditions permit stakes to be pulled
out easily, such as in sandy soil conditions,
cementing is required. If your ground is too hard to
pound in the stakes, you can remove the earth with a
shovel. Install the stakes and compact the earth as you replace it.
Stakes must be placed below the level of the shock-absorbing
surfacing material to prevent tripping or injury resulting from a fall.
