IMPORTANT WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
BEFORE YOU BEGIN ASSEMBLY
:
Take a complete inventory of components using the parts list.
Sort and lay out the wood pieces. Label each piece of wood for easy reference. For easy identification during the
assembly process, write the board’s letter on masking tape and adhere to each piece of the wood. Some wooden
components may twist or warp in the carton after packaging. Usually, these parts straighten out when assembled.
You may also see some cracking of the grain. This is normal.
Sort all hardware according to size. Do not worry if extra hardware is included.
FIND A SAFE PLAY LOCATION:
You MUST install the Wooden Swing Set on level ground. Uneven ground must be leveled prior to installation.
The manufacturer cannot assume responsibility for any failure from incorrect installation. Installing on sloping
ground will put stress on all the joints, which will cause the set to become loose and unstable.
Find a location where the equipment can be placed more than six (6) feet from any structure or obstruction (ex:
electrical wires, branches, house, fence, garage). The safe play area refers to a zone extending six (6) feet
beyond the swing set on all sides, including the space above the swing set.
The safe play area must be free of all structures, landscaping, trees and branches, rocks, wires and other
obstacles to safe play. Children can be seriously injured running or swinging into these obstacles.
Remove any rocks or any jagged or sharp object that could endanger your children’s’ safety. Remove all
tripping hazards from the safe play area. Tripping hazards include but are not limited to: roots, stumps, rocks,
landscaping, sprinkler heads, railroad ties, plumbing, and electrical connections.
Do NOT install your swing set over gravel, asphalt, packed earth or any other hard surface. The following is a list
of recommended ground covers from the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
