  • Page 13 Step 6: (Requires heavy lifting, please use at least 2 people) • Lift both ‘H’-frames into the holes that have been cut out in the ground. • Make sure the ‘H’-frames are orientated correctly (to ensure that the roof will be able to rest on the tops)

  • Page 19 Step 12: Roof Assembly • Place one of the 1755mm x 1170mm roof panels directly onto the ground (so that the shingled part is facing downwards) • Using the ‘v’ boards provided assemble the two roof panels together using decking screws.

  • Page 45 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.
