Proper Installation of Playground Equipment for Maximum Safety

All products must be installed in accordance with the drawings included in the manual. At least two people are required to ensure safety of assembly. The product must be installed on a smooth surface covered with an appropriate material: sand, bark or well-maintained grass. Installation must take place in accordance with the figure in the installation manual labelled “Safety area”. The distance between the product and other objects (including those situated above the ground, such as tree branches) should be at least 2 meters. The product legs must be fixed to the concreted anchors. The legs must not be set in sand or another soft surface material, as this may not guarantee sufficient stability.

How to Anchor Playground Equipment for Stability. Anchors available as optional products - not included in the kit 

To ensure stability, the product must be anchored in the ground. Dig in the soil at the location of the legs holes that are 400 mm deep and with the cross-section of 600x600mm. Throw a layer of gravel to the bottom of the hole to improve rainwater absorption in the soil. Then pour concrete into the hole, stopping at 50 mm below the ground level. When the concrete becomes dry, place a layer of soil on it up to the ground level.

Inspecting and Using the Playground Safely 

All projecting screws and sharp edges must be planed smooth immediately after installation to avoid potential injuries. The height of the swing seat (350 mm) as well as the general condition of the set must be checked on a daily basis. Stability, wear on the moving parts and strength of connections should be checked no less frequently than every 1 to 3 months. The suitability of the base material, corrosion of accessories and rotting of wooden parts should be checked once a year. 

Essential Steps for Maintaining Playground Equipment

Moving parts must be oiled and all worn and/or defective parts should be replaced with parts provided by the manufacturer. Bolts and ropes must be tightened. Wooden parts should be treated yearly with oil, stain or other suitable wood treatment agent to reduce risk of cracks and protect the wood from rot, fungus, mold and moisture.

We advise the removal and storage of all accessories during the winter because the characteristics of the soil (when frozen) are not suitable for safe play. To avoid that the swing is heating up, do not place it facing the sun. In warm weather, check that the seating surface is not too hot.

Choosing & Installing a Safe Slide for Your Playground

The children’s playground construction with a slide can only be considered safe when it is used with the appropriate slide. When installing the slide leave at least 25 mm (30 mm recommended) clearances on both sides, in order to prevent clothing entrapment during gliding. 

Providing the product with a suitable slide is the responsibility of the end-seller of the product. The slide that is used must meet the criteria of the EN 71 of the European Safety Standard and go with the given swing set.
