However, it should be recognized that all injuries due to falls cannot be prevented no matter what surfacing material is
used.
We recommend that a shock absorbing material should extend a minimum of 6ft in all directions from the perimeter
of stationary equipment such as climbers and slides. However, because children may deliberately jump from a moving
swing, the shock absorbing material should extend in the front and rear of a swing a minimum distance of 2 times the
height of the pivot point measured from a point directly beneath the pivot on the supporting structure.
This information is intended to assist in comparing the relative shock-absorbing properties of various materials. No
particular material is recommended over another. However, each material is only effective when Properly maintained.
Materials should be checked periodically and replenished to maintain correct depth as determined necessary for your
equipment. The choice of a material depends on the type and height of the playground equipment, the availability of the
material in your area and its cost.
This information has been extracted from the CPSC publication on" Playground Safety".
ANCHORING
(NOTE:ANCHORS ARE NOT INCLUDED,MUST BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY)
There are different ways of anchoring the equipment, depending on the type of ground on which
the equipment is to be installed. Make sure that all anchors are below ground level to prevent tripping.
The following anchoring options may be considered:
Corkscrew Anchoring (Corkscrew Anchors not included
)
If your soil is hard (clay, etc.), the corkscrew method may be suitable.
Be sure that the swing set is located on level ground.
Twist the corkscrew anchor into the ground until only the end with the hook is above the ground
and next to the leg. Insert the hook into the bottom opening of the leg.
Ensure that the hook is secured onto the leg opening.
