Helpful Installation Hints
*NOTE: Refer to these assembly tips throughout the entire installation process.
1.
After thoroughly reading all information and properly locating your play system site, carefully
unpack parts. As you unpack your play system, keep the parts list handy and become familiar with each
part before beginning assembly. Remember that a little extra time spent familiarizing yourself with the parts
and instructions before you begin will help avoid mistakes and save you time later.
2.
Group
both wood and non-wood parts together in accordance to each Step of this assembly manual. Doing
this now, will help you quickly locate parts and assemble the set with more ease.
3.
Locate
an area to sort your hardware in accordance to each step. A solid surface, such as the empty boxes,
are best to ensure you do not lose any hardware.
4.
Before
starting each Step, thoroughly read the entire instructions to ensure all information is understood.
Pay special attention to the orientation of each part, details & notes, and proper usage of hardware. Each
piece of hardware is required for a certain part of the assembly.
5.
Certain
Steps of the assembly are best performed on a hard flat surface to ensure proper and accurate
assembly.
6.
All
Lag Bolts must have pre-drilled holes 2" deep (as shown in Detail A). Use a 1/8" drill bit for all 1/4" and
5/16" Lag Bolts and use a 1/4" drill bit for all 3/8" Lag Bolts. Lag Bolts can be difficult to drill into knot holes.
Pre-drilling pilot holes will help to prevent the Lag Bolts from breaking. Refer to "Commonly Asked Questions"
on page 7 for more information about Lag Bolts.
7.
All
#14 Phillips Pan Head Tap Screws must have pre-drilled holes 1/2" deep. Use a 1/8" drill bit.

Use
a clamp to secure Facias flush to the Uprights and use holes in facia as a guide for placing Lag
Bolt Pilot Holes (as shown in Detail B).
9.
Verify
Facias are flush with Uprights.
10.
Check
assembly periodically to ensure the set is level and all facias are square to the uprights.
11. If a gap occurs between boards when inserting Screws or Lag Bolts, back out hardware and apply pressure to
the top board while reinserting hardware in the same hole.
