This play set requires constant adult supervision during use and must be assembled by at least three adults.
Function Description:
The Bell Peak Metal Play Set offers a variety of play activities, including climbing, swinging, and a trampoline. The main structure features multiple climbing tubes and boards, a climbing net, and decorative screens. A saucer swing is suspended from an extension of the main frame, providing a dynamic swinging experience. Additionally, a trampoline component is integrated into the design, offering a rebounding surface for jumping. A bell is also included, adding an interactive element to the play experience. The set is designed to promote physical activity and imaginative play in a safe, supervised environment.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Age Limit: 3 to 8 years old.
- Maximum User Weight: 55 lbs per child.
- Combined Maximum Weight: 165 lbs.
- Materials: Primarily metal tubing for the frame, with plastic components for seats, climbing boards, and decorative screens. The trampoline features a mat with a safety pad and enclosure netting.
- Anchoring: The product should be anchored into the ground to prevent movement and enhance stability. While Sportspower does not specify a particular anchoring method due to varying consumer needs and conditions, it strongly recommends consulting a local licensed contractor for the best way to secure the swing set, suggesting a concrete footing as a base for an anchor. An anchoring system must be used at all times.
- Safety Zone: The equipment must be placed more than 6 feet (1.8 meters) from any structures or obstructions like buildings, fences, garages, trees, laundry lines, or electrical wires.
- Ground Clearance: The minimum ground clearance between the bottom of the suspended plays and the playing or ground surface must be 8 inches.
- Maximum Fall Height: The maximum fall height for this product is 6 feet.
- Shock Absorbing Surface: A shock-absorbing material should extend a minimum of 6 feet in all directions from the perimeter of stationary equipment. For swings, this material should extend a minimum distance of two times the height of the pivot point from a point directly beneath the pivot on the supporting structure, both in front and rear. Acceptable loose-fill surfacing materials include double shredded bark mulch, wood chips, fine sand, and fine gravel, installed and maintained at sufficient depths (e.g., 6", 9", or 12").
Usage Features:
- Supervision: Constant adult supervision is mandatory for children of all ages.
