Technical Information:
Number of people required for assembly: 2 to include a good handyman
Guide time for assembly: approx 8-10 hours for the full unit
The Carisbrooke needs 7 bags of instant mix concrete (post-Crete) or similar allowing 1/2 bag per
hole. (available from most hardware shops or builders merchants)
NOTE: USE THE DRILL BIT PROVIDED TO PRE-DRILL ALL THE SCREW HOLES TO AVOID SPLITTING THE
TIMBER. You may want to use a countersink drill bit to give the screw holes a superior finish
Your climbing frame can be stored outside until you are ready to assemble the unit, we recommend
storing it near the place you are looking to build it.
To allow trapped moisture to evaporate cut back the shrink wrap packaging but be careful not to
lose any parts. Slight cracks may appear in the wood at any time after delivery, this is due to the
natural working of the wood and is normal. If moisture is trapped under the plastic you will
sometimes find mould spots present, this will wipe away and have no long term effects.
NB: Cracking will not affect the tower's structural stability. Surfaces of the wood have been planed
but you may find small splinters around drill holes which can easily be sanded away.

- Page 2 7) Attach the slide JE2515 8) Attach the swing seats (boxed separately) Where to start: Firstly dig the holes for the uprights Lay your platform base on the ground at the chosen position. Using a spirit level find the highest corner, this will be your first hole.
- Page 3 is that your slide needs to be on a platform 1.5m (or 1.2m with some models)above the ground. If the height is more or less than this creates stress on the slide platform mount and in severe cases can lead to fracture of the slide at this point. A failure that would not be covered by warranty. You may also find this video link helpful showing you how to prepare the holes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDqh-mwi0w8 Construct the Tower:...
- Page 4 appearance try to drill in the same place on each piece. Select one piece of part C and drill the screw holes as shown in the diagram. Attaching the Sandpit: Pre-drill the sandpit sides Parts A 30mm from each end and central Mark with a pencil 35cm from the lower end of your uprights and attach four sandpit sides flush with these marks, using screws (1).
- Page 5 Components and Hardware: 12 x (A) 30x65/89.5cm 2 x (B) 20x120/52cm 32 x (1) 5x60mm Attaching the Ladder: Attach parts H to I to make up the ladder. This can now be attached to part J which in turn is attached to the tower uprights.
- Page 6 Attaching the roof: Fix the roof trusses to the frame uprights using the 60mm screws. 2 screws to each upright. The bottom of the truss should be 75mm down from the top of the upright. Please ensure the uprights are parallel and the truss has the same overhang.
- Page 7 Components & Hardware: 20 x (E) 1/207/100cm 2 x (F) Roof 48 x (4) 5 x 60mm Then fix the roof slats (part E) to the trusses, using the 60mm screws. 1 at each end. Ensure the slats have the same overhang and the trusses remain parallel Raising the Tower: Once you have built the tower it is time to lift it into place.
- Page 8 You will now need to fit the two Tunnel frames (parts C) one to each tower. Only build the tunnel sufficiently to locate the 2nd tower and check all sides are level and upright. Once you are satisfied that the second tower uprights are vertical in both planes (using your spirit level) and the platform horizontal, proceed with construction.
- Page 9 Ideally make the tunnel frame up on the floor.. although be aware two people will be required to lift up onto the two towers. Fix the boards to the tunnel ends using the 45mm screws. The wider boards are fixed to the top, bottom and sides. The side boards are fixed with 1 x 80mm and 1 x 45mm screw at each end.
- Page 10 Attaching the Staircase: You will need 1 bag of Post-Crete (already mentioned earlier) for concreting the bottom of the stairs and handrail posts. You will find it easier to only fit the top, middle and bottom tread to the stair string at first. When you have fitted the handrails and posts , at the end of this section you can then finish fitting the remaining treads, This makes the staircase lighter to lift wile fitting to the tower.
- Page 11 Staircase components: To achieve a neat appearance, pre-drill the two staircase sides B & B' from the Inside (tread side). Cut a piece of paper or card to the exact shape of the tread slot and mark 2 holes 3cm from either end along the centre-line of the slot.
- Page 12 Fit three treads to start with as it will make it easier to move the staircase around while construction is continuing. Fix the treads using (part1) 5 x 60mm screws. Stand the staircase up against the tower ensuring the treads are level (from back to front and sideways). Measure down from the top tread to the top of the platform.
- Page 13 Attaching the Assault Course & Swing Beam: you will need 2 bags of Post-Crete (already mentioned earlier) for concreting the bottom of the swing beam supports and the Assault Course supports. You may find it easier to attach the swing hooks while the beam is still on the ground rather than struggling up a ladder.
- Page 14 ATTENTION: Allow a minimum of 2 metres space around the Playcentre and ensure that the area is free from other obstacles such as trees and branches, garden lights and other play equipment.
- Page 15 To make up the A-Frame, use the 130mm bolt, nut and washer and push through both part A's. The nut and washer will sit in the recess around the bolt hole. The spread the legs out so, the measurement from outside to outside of the part A's is 255cm. The drill two holes at each end of Part C approx 30mm in.

- Page 17 TIP: When you come to build the swing arm we suggest you first drill a 4mm pilot hole in the two uprights A before attaching the swing arm beam B with the two 6x120mm screws. Attaching the Assault Course:...
- Page 18 Assault course hardware list: We strongly suggest that you pre-drill all holes before fixing screws. This will prevent the screw splitting the wood.
- Page 19 ATTENTION: Allow a minimum of 2 metres space around the Playcentre and ensure that the area is free from any other obstacles such as trees and branches, garden lights and other play equipment.
- Page 20 Before you fix the swing beam to the supports you will need to attach the Assault Course net. Do not tighten the ropes fully until the A-Frame is in place.
- Page 21 Attaching the rock climbing face: You will find it easier to attach the climbing stones prior to fixing the boards on to the frame. When fixing the top board ensure it is pushed up tight to the swing beam. Then align the beam supports, so they are parallel with the board.
- Page 22 Then ensure the clasp has fully closed before use. You should now have completed your Carisbrooke climbing frame. It is now time to check all screws and bolts to ensure they are fully tightened. Also check that all platforms are level and all posts are upright.
