 Safe Play Area:
The Safe Play Area refers to a zone extending 6' beyond the Playset on all sides, including the slide and the
space above the Playset. Because children may deliberately jump from a moving swing, the Safe Play Area
must be extended to 14 in front of and behind a swinging Accessory.
The ground surface must be level. Installing your Playset on sloping ground can cause it to lean or “rack". This
leaning puts additional stress on all connections and joints and in time will cause those connections to loosen
and fail.
The Safe Play Area must be free of all structures, landscaping, trees and branches, rocks, wires, and other
obstacles to safe play. Children can be seriously injured running, or swinging into these obstacles.
Remove all tripping hazards from the Safe Play Area. Tripping hazards include; roots, stumps, rocks, landscaping,
sprinkler heads, railroad ties, plumbing and electrical connections.
Do not install your Playset over concrete, gravel, asphalt, packed earth, or any other hard surface. The following
is a list of recommended ground covers from the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Any edging used to contain the ground cover must be beyond the Safe play Area. (i.e.. Landscape Timbers)

Children should stay out of the work area until the safe play area is cleared of obstacles, the Playset has been

Keep children off the Playset until it has been completely assembled.
Some parts of the assembly process may require help from another competent adult.
Do not stand on the platform until the Playset has been completely assembled, use a step ladder if you can
not reach high enough.
Follow the manufacturers' safety recommendations for the tools and equipment you use.
Avoid assembling your Playset in poor weather conditions.
Wear proper clothing and safety equipment (safety glasses, boots, and gloves) while assembling your Playset.
