Protective Surfacing - Since almost 60% of all injuries are caused by falls to the ground, protective surfacing under and around all playground equipment is the most critical safety factor on playgrounds.
  • Page 15 2. Fall Zones - A fall zone, covered with a protective surfacing material, is essential under and around equipment where a child might fall.

  • Page 17 This page is a list of definitions and explanations used throughout our instructions to aid you in the assembly of your play set. Offset Holes- Throughout the installation procedures we will refer to parts with offset holes. This refers to the orientation of the holes on the board. An offset hole is one that is closer to one side than it is the other or in other words, it is not centered on the board.
  • Page 18 Common Installation Practice Installing T-nuts When installing T-nuts into the wood, use a smooth faced hammer to set the face of the T-nut flush into the wood. Corner Post T-nut Insert the barrel of the T-nut into the predrilled hole. Using a smooth faced hammer, drive the T-nut until the face of the T-nut is flush to the wood.
  • Page 19 HOW A T-NUT WORKS THE FIRST STEP IN OUR ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS IS TO INSERT T-NUTS INTO THE CORNER POSTS. A T-NUT IS A FASTENER WHICH IS THREADED ON THE INSIDE AND IT FUNCTIONS JUST LIKE A STANDARD HEX NUT. YOU INSERT THE T-NUTS INTO THE PREDRILLED HOLES IN THE CORNER POSTS.
  • Page 20 BOARD IDENTIFICATION 1. On the end of each board there should be a small white tag that is stapled or stuck into place. Remove the staples and/or tag after the board is installed. 2. This white identifcation tag displays the thickness, width, length and an abbreviated description of the part.
  • Page 21 PRE-DRILL LAG SCREW DIRECTIONS Pre-drilling holes for lag screws will make it easier to drive the screws in by hand. "Jobber" length drill bits are available in sizes that are longer than standard drill bits and those are ideal for the job. When using the drill bit you will have to "spot" drill the post and then remove the board you are attaching to finish drilling the hole.
