Ground Preparation
1.
Lay out the base, slide and the 3m swing bar in the position that you intend the climbing
frame to be placed. Ensure the base is parallel of any buildings, fences etc. that you are
wishing to match in with. This will give you the size of the footprint the frame will take up in
the garden.
2.
Allow for at least 1.8m clearance beyond the end of the slide and 1.2m clearance for the
steps, rock module and swing module.
3.
Once you are happy that the layout is correct, remove the swing bar and slide.
4.
Mark out clearly the centre of all 4 cut outs of the base. Once these are marked you can lift
the bases out of your way and then dig your holes.
5.
If the climbing frame is on a level surface, then dig the 4 holes
at a diameter of 12” and
depth 12”. The tricky part is when the surface is uneven; in this case you would have to
compensate for the slope by making some holes deeper or shallower than others (minimum
depth of 10”). The bottoms of all 4 hole
s need to be level.
