PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING
*Before digging, please obey local laws by notifying your local utilities marking organization*
1. Select an area in your yard that is reasonably level and meets the space requirements for your
equipment. Ground Space: 18' x 19', Play Space: 22' x 29'.
2. Please refer to the Top Rail/Out Rigger assembly sheet and assemble your top rails as instructed.
3. Using the measurements from the top view diagram, measure and mark the position of the swing
hangers and ladders on each of the top rails. Set aside.
4. Place over head ladder onto the ground in the desired location. Measure and adjust as necessary to
allow for the proper play space.
5. With the Horizontal ladder in its proper position in the yard, mark the location for the holes where the
two vertical ladders will stand. Move the horizontal ladder and dig the holes. (See installation
instructions #1 hole sizes for cementing.)
6. Lay each vertical ladder on the ground near the hole where it will eventually stand. Make a mark 15"
from the top of the ladder onto each ladder rail. Move the adjustable sleeves to these marks and
position them to receive the overhead ladder by turning them to point at a 90 degree angle (towards
what will become the inside of the structure) away from the upright ladder. Secure the set screws.
7. Insert the 9' top rail into the top sleeve of the ladder. Secure the set screws.
8. Place the ladder into its hole. Hint: Be sure that the adjustable sleeves are prepared to receive the
horizontal ladder.
9. Lay the other ladder on the ground with the bottom of the ladder just over the hole where it will
eventually stand.
10. Place the 17'1" outrigger about 10' away from the hole. Assemble and attach the swing hangers to
the 17'1" outrigger.
11. Position the outrigger upside down on the ground. Assemble the "A" frame legs. (See installation
instructions for "A" frame leg assembly.) Slide the outrigger into the top sleeve of the vertical ladder.
12. Using two strong adults, stand the structure up and allow the ladder to fall into the hole previously dug.
Check and make sure that the outrigger is still properly positioned inside of the ladder top sleeve. The out
rigger can be adjusted as follows: While securely holding the ladder, take hold of the "A" frame portion
and push or pull as necessary. When you are satisfied that the outrigger is properly positioned inside the
ladder top sleeve, secure the set screws. Note: The unit will not be level at this point.
13. Adjust the "A" frame legs in the play space as desired.
14. Mark the holes for the "A" frame legs. Move the legs out of the way and dig the holes. Hint: Keep
most of the hole to the inside of the leg.
