Technical Information:
Number of people required for assembly: 2
(to include a good handyman)
Guide time for assembly: approx 6-8 hours for the full unit
The Arundel needs 3 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 3 Where to start: Firstly dig the holes for the uprights: ATTENTION: Allow a minimum of 2 metres space around the climbing frame and ensure that the area is free from other obstacles such as trees and branches, garden lights and other play equipment.
- Page 4 Building the Tower: Building the tower is best accomplished lying on its side. Lay out the four uprights in pairs with their ends close to the holes you have prepared. Align the platform in the same direction as the slide will end up when you have finished, this then orients the uprights and their bolt holes.
- Page 5 Attaching the Balustrades: Pre-build your balustrades on the ground as squarely as possible rather than trying to build them on the tower frames. You will notice the screws are diagonally offset. The purpose of this is to reduce splits and create a stronger fixing, by not having screws running in line along the grain of the wood. TIP: Attach the two outside left &...
- Page 6 Attaching the Ladder: Fix the rungs EC2 to the sides EC1 using 5x60mm screws then fix to the tower.
- Page 7 Attaching the Roof: We recommend building the roof structure while you have the tower laying on the floor. Prop the tower off the ground slightly using either bricks or the swing beam (whatever available). Build the two roof structure supports using the Gables (T1) and the triangles (T2). Make sure the two angled ends of the rafters are butted up to each other before fixing the triangle plate.
- Page 8 Finally prepare your roof timbers (T3). Hold one T3 against the bottom of the two roof gables with the edge overhanging equally on each side. Mark the outside edge of each gable (in pencil) onto part T3. Pre-drill your screw holes about 1cm inwards from these marks and about 2-3cm from top and bottom.

Page 9: Maintenance
Attach the 12x BS1 rails as shown in the diagram on to the outside of the uprights - these should sit flush with the ground once the tower has been fixed into position. So allow for the depth of the holes if fitting before the tower is located.
