Concrete Footing/Suggested Bracing:
Please retain these instructions in your files. It contains
important replacement parts information. All equipment
should be installed in accordance with these instructions.
It is important to use and maintain all public playground
equipment properly. Playground equipment which is
improperly maintained can cause serious injury. Periodical
inspections, maintenance, repair and/or replacement of
damaged parts is necessary for safe operation of equipment and
safety of users. Resilient surfacing should be used under ALL
playground equipment. Appropriate publications, available at
no charge, from the Consumer Product Safety Commission,
include “A Handbook for Public Playground Safety”. You can
receive your free copy by calling 1-310-504-7908.
General Use/Fall Zone & Footing Recommendations
Stationary and portable equipment – use/fall zones should
extend a MINIMUM of 6 feet in all directions from the
perimeter of the equipment ground space. This area should be
covered with the required amount of resilient safety surfacing
material. For some equipment – use/fall zones can overlap.
See Consumer Product Safety Commission guidelines.
Diameter and depth of footing illustrated are satisfactory in
most applications for pipe sized up to 2 3/8” diameter. Varying
soil and climactic conditions may require deeper and heavier
footings in some areas. Check local building codes. If
resilient surfacing is to be less than 12”, then additional pipe
should be put in concrete to maintain proper finish grade for
equipment.
