Helpful Installation Hints
• Depending on your experience, assembly of Gorilla Playsets can take as little as 6 hours
up to 24 hours, depending on size, after inventory of parts; therefore, we recommend
you set aside a full two days for assembly.
• Identify all of the parts for your play set. Empty each box and lay out boards so you can
see each part. Your instruction book will have detailed drawings that will make it easy for
you to recognize individual parts. Keep all hardware and metal parts separate from
wooden pieces.
• After everything is laid out, check carefully to ensure all parts are present. Make sure
there are no broken boards.
• Find an area to sort your hardware. It is best to open the hardware on a solid surface so
that you do not lose any pieces in the grass. This will save time and familiarize you with
all the different pieces in the hardware bag.
• Important note: Wood has some natural defects such as knots, surface cracks, etc… We
reject parts that are structurally defective. We use a high quality lumber in our structures;
however, you should inspect each part for splinters or rough spots and sand them smooth
to prevent injury.
• After familiarizing yourself with all of the components, read all instructions thoroughly.
Reading instructions after you have studied the parts will help you understand more
clearly the installation process, and help to eliminate unnecessary mistakes.
• Pay close attention to the diameter and length of each bolt and screw.
• Never tighten hardware completely at first. It helps to have some adjustment for bolt
alignment while you are attaching parts together. After everything is square, tighten each
joint.
• After the main unit is assembled it is critical that the floor is level and square. If the
main frame is not level, the walls and floor will be out of square.
• After you complete installation, make sure every bolt, screw, and nut is tight, and every
board is secure. Wood will expand and contract with the seasons.
• Check all bolt connections and swing hangers every two weeks.
• Place the set on level ground, not less than 6ft from any structure or obstruction such as
a fence, garage, house, overhanging branches, laundry lines, or electrical wires.
