- Page 9 Assembly Instructions All components needed during the assembly are numbered with reference to the parts list, please refer back to the parts list to ensure you are assembling the correct components for each step. Step 1: Marking your holes • The first thing to do will be to set the two halves of the octagonal base into the desired position in your garden.
- Page 10 Step 3: • You can then use these to set one half of your base onto so you can mark around the shape of the tree, and then cut out using a jigsaw. Once you are happy with the cut out around the tree, and the base is sitting half way across the diameter of the tree, then you will set the 2 half of the base up and cut it out so it matches in with the first half.
- Page 11 Step 4: • The next step will be to start putting the vertical posts around the base. Ensure these are level and plumb, and once the base is held up level, you can stitch screws in through the base into the posts to hold temporarily in place.
- Page 12 Step 5: • After you have all the posts positioned and the base levelled, you will then go around and fit the 3” x 3” supports in the marked positions to hold the weight of the base. These will be screwed through the posts using the 200mm index screws, then decking screws down through the decking boards.
- Page 14 Step 6: Installing Horizontal Supports • Put in the 4” x 4” supports running from the vertical posts. Ensure these are running the opposite way to the 3” x 1½” supports on the bottom of the base (You may have to remove the 2822mm x 3”...
- Page 15 View from beneath the frame Note - If you are not assembling your base around a tree you will also need to install a vertical post in the middle of the base. Use the 1226mm post and screw it to the underside of the two main 4” x 4”...
- Page 16 Step 7: Installing your railings • Ensure that the correct railings are going in the right openings of the base, i.e. A with A and B with B. Go around and drill your 32mm holes on the outsides of all the posts, in line with the centre of the top of each railing.
- Page 18 Step 8: Monkey Bar Module Assembly • Lay out the 2 posts on a flat surface • Attach the 420mm post to the top of the posts as shown, using the 200mm screws. Please ensure that the 420mm post is flush with the cut on the top of each 3m post...
- Page 19 Step 9: • Attach a piece of 1755mm x 3” x 1.5” across the middle of the A-frame to hold it in its place when lifted. To position this, mark 900mm down from the top of each post and line up the top of the 1755mm timber to each of these lines •...

- Page 21 Step 11: • Now the tricky part. The ‘A’-frame is designed to be at an 82° angle (i.e it is not at 90 degrees to the ground) • The ‘A’-frame should be then lined up to the centre of the frame •...
- Page 22 Step 12: • Ensure that the monkey bar is flush with the A-frame and is overhanging either side the same distance • Use the 200mm screws provided to screw the monkey bars to the 3m posts of the A-frame, and the 120mm screws to screw down into the 420mm post •...
- Page 24 Step 13: Steps Assembly • The steps might have to be cut or dug into place (depending on the slope of your surface) • They are secured using decking screws through the top and sides of the steps into the base of the tower.
- Page 25 Step 14: Rock Wall Assembly • The rock wall is typically made slightly longer than required to allow for a slope • Place the rock wall against the top of a closed railing • Measure the amount you may have to take off the bottom of the rock wall •...
- Page 26 Step 15: Slide Assembly • Using 2 decking screws, secure the slide to the bottom timber of an open railing through the pre-drilled holes in the slide...
- Page 27 Step 16: Swing Attachment • Hang your chosen swings from the swing hooks Step 17: Concreting structure • Using postcrete and following the manufacturer’s instructions, concrete all the posts into the ground • The frame should be left overnight before it is used to ensure the postcrete has dried. The final stage is to put on the accessories, press the screw covers into the 32mm holes and give everything a good sand down to avoid the children getting splinters from any rough edges.
- Page 29 Maintaining Your Climbing Frame My climbing frame has been installed, what do I do next? A: If your climbing frame was installed in a grassed area the installers have concreted the frame into the ground. They have left a small, exposed hole, where the posts have been sunk into the ground. The reason this has been done is to allow the concrete to set overnight.
