DO NOT install your play set over hard surface, e.g. asphalt, concrete, packed earth, tile or brick floor.
A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury or death to the user. The following is a list of
recommended ground covers from the Consumer Product Safety Commission:
SUGGESTED MATERIAL
Double Shredded Bark Mulch
Uniform Wood Chips
Fine Gravel
Fine Sand
The Consumer Product Safety Commission's Outdoor Home Playground Safety Handbook recommends to
install and maintain the playground equipment over at least 9 inches of wood chips, mulch or shredded
rubber (for equipment up to 8 feet high) or sand or pea gravel (for equipment no more than 5 feet high) as
shock absorbing material. Dirt and grass, which are the most prevalent surfaces under home playground
equipment, do not adequately protect children from serious head injuries. Install protective surfacing at
least six feet in all directions from play equipment. For swings, the surface should extend, in back and front,
twice the height of the suspending bar. You should consult a local contractor about ways to secure the
product in your location. Do not install your play set over hard surface, e.g. asphalt, concrete, packed earth,
tile or brick floor. Please refer to the CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION'S OUTDOOR
HOME PLAYGROUND SAFETY HANDBOOK for detailed guidelines to prevent injuries from falls and other
hazards on public and home playgrounds.
WARNINGS ON ANCHORING
This product must be anchored into the ground to prevent movement and to make the swing set more stable
during use.
Some consumers want an anchoring system that allows the product to be moved to different locations. Other
consumers want to keep their swing set in a permanent location.
It is highly recommended that you seek the opinion from a local licensed contractor on the best way to secure the
swing set in your location. The best way to anchor a product is to create a concrete footing and use that as a
base for an anchor. Whatever method you prefer for your location, an anchoring system for this product should
be used at all times.
