When you are satisfied that the structure is level, mix and pour the
concrete according to the package directions. You will use
approximately one and a half to two 80 lb. bags in each leg hole.
Concrete will cure faster in warm conditions and slower in cold
conditions. The package directions on the concrete you buy will indicate
approximate curing times. If you are in doubt, it is better to wait longer
allowing the concrete more time to cure. We recommend 3-5 days
before use.
The amount of concrete to be used in each hole may vary. For
example: If you are installing your play structure into a grassy area, you
may want to leave the concrete about three to four inches below the top
of the hole. This will allow you to replace the sod and have enough soil
depth for the grass to continue growing. As a result of this, you will use
a lesser amount of concrete than someone who chooses to fill the
concrete to the top of the hole. The concrete should only be filled to the
top of the hole if you are planning to install 6 – 12 inches of soft fall
ground cover. The concrete footings should never be exposed as this
presents a potential risk of injury to those who use this play equipment.
Double Check and Secure:
Before using your swing set, double
check and secure any loose set screws or nuts and bolts and enjoy
your Component Playground.
Allow all of the concrete to cure
completely before using your playground. (3-5 days)
.
After concrete has cured, assemble and attach swing chains
and seats.
