Punch List
Step 1: Layout
1. Lay decks on ground in the desired location based on
topview layout and measure from all corners to insure
there is adequate room. (Refer to Grid Drawing pg. 11)
2. Most installers usually like to orientate the playground
so that the entry point of the playground is facing either
the sidewalk or the direction from which the children
are coming.
Step 2: Holes
1. Mark the locations of all post holes by laying out all the
decks in the correct orientation. Make sure all the
decks are touching each other and flush on the edges.
Then use the center point of each deck corner and
marking them with paint or a wooden stake.
2. After the holes are marked, move the decks out of the
digging area and dig the first four holes per the footing
drawing on page 12.
3. Fill or dig the depth of 1 main hole to what is required;
this hole will be used to get the other three holes the
same depth in reference to each other. Make sure the
hole is flat and tamped solid, then place a small piece of
plywood or brick in the bottom. You must take this in
account when determining the hole depth.
4. Now, if possible, use a transit to maintain the same hole
depth on the remaining three holes, if you don’t have
access to a transit, then park a line on the first post
about two inches above the dirt level. Then measure up
from the bottom of the post to this mark and mark a line
on the other three posts at the same distance. Now use
a four-foot level across to each line, raising or lowering
as necessary to make the lines level. Repeat this for the
remaining two posts.
Step 3: Deck and Post Installation
1. Begin by installing the lowest deck and go up from this
one. Measure deck height plus the amount of safety
surfacing and make a mark on the post, this is the
height of the deck clamps, for example if the deck is to
be 36” high and you are planning on adding 12” of
safety surfacing then the height from the dirt would be
48”. All other decks heights will also be the labeled
height plus the amount of surfacing.
2. Install a deck clamp per instruction page 15. Tighten
all hardware.
3. Now make sure that you have two other helpers and the
required deck clamp hardware.
4. Stand the correct posts into the holes and lift the deck
on top of the clamps and install hardware. Be sure to
brace the posts to keep them from moving.
5. Continue building the main structure by adding the
overhead climber, kickplates and other decks and posts
per the illustration until all the decks, kickplates, and
posts are installed. Make sure the posts are level as you
tighten the hardware, this will make the component
installation much easier.
6. It may be necessary to brace the deck and posts with
lumber to make sure they stay in place and level. Also
make sure the deck was installed level.
