can be purchased in aerosol cans
(“spray paint”) at most hardware stores and at
Component Playgrounds.)

Plastic Lumber Platforms:
If you have purchased a structure which includes a
platform, the plastic lumber does not need to be finished or stained. It is 100%
maintenance free. However, you may need to occasionally hose it down to remove dirt
and other debris that may collect after many hours of use by happy children.
6.
Vinyl Canopies:
If you have purchased a structure which includes a vinyl canopy, this
product should be inspected occasionally for wear and will need to be replaced as
necessary. Depending upon your environmental conditions, the normal life expectancy
of the vinyl canopy is 3
– 5 years.
7.
Swing Seats:
These should be inspected at least twice annually and should be replaced
as necessary.
8.
Slides:
Slides should never be lifted at the bottom. Lifting the slide at the bottom will
almost always cause the slide to crack at the top where it has been attached to the
platform or bracket. Cracks and wear such as is caused by this practice are easily
identifiable and will not be covered under the product warranty.
Slides should be inspected at least annually to ensure that the sliding surface is in good
condition. Also inspect the side rails to be sure that the plastic has not been cut or
gouged in any manner which would present the risk of injury while sliding.
9.
Fasteners:
All fasteners should be periodically inspected to make certain that they are
tight and secure. Re-secure as necessary.
