IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ
As fresh lumber acclimates to its new environment, the natural tendencies of the tree can show
itself in the form of checks, or “cracks” in the lumber. In almost all cases this is normal and it will
not affect the structural integrity of your play set.
Cosmetic defects that do not affect the structural integrity of the product, or natural defects of
wood such as warping, checking or any other physical properties of wood that do not present
a safety hazard, are not covered by this warranty. Defects that develop because the product is
exposed to extreme climate conditions or woodboring insects are not covered by this warranty.
Defects that develop as a result of faulty or improper installation of the product are also not
covered by this warranty.
Most cracks are not warrantable
, however if you believe that the integrity of your play set is
compromised by this natural occurrence, please follow the warranty claim procedure found at
www.gorillaplaysets.com. Click on the “Customer Care” tab on the left hand side of the page,
then click on “Warranty Claim” and follow the directions.
KEEPING YOUR PLAYSET LIKE NEW
LUBRICATE:
•
Spray swing hangers with Pam, Mazola or olive oil to stop squeaking.
• Do not use petroleum based products such as WD-40 or motor oil.
• To speed up the slide wipe center of slide ONLY with wax paper every 2 - 3 weeks.
TIGHTEN:
•
Check and tighten hex/carriage bolts within first 60 days and then twice annually.
• Check lag screws for tightness before each season and then once during the season for
tightness. Tighten lag screws as required.
SEAL:
•
Apply an oil based sealer or preservative within 90 days, then every 2 - 3 years. You may
need to power wash the unit before sealer application on year two.
INSECTS:
•
To repel yellow jackets and wasps, using a cloth, coat all interior 90 degree corners with liquid
dish soap underneath the play set deck. This will make wasps sick when they attempt to build a
nest. Avoid using insecticides.
