REQUIRED SAFETY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
ANCHORING INFORMATION According to ASTM requirements, all rope ends must be anchored to the ground. If soil
conditions permit stakes to be pulled out easily, cementing into ground is necessary. In addition, Swing•N•Slide recommends
that all units be anchored to the ground. For quick and easy staking, purchase Swing•N•Slide NE 4521 Anchor-It Ground
Anchors.
• When anchoring the unit to the ground using wooden stakes, use 2" x 4" x 18" (45mm x 95mm x 457mm) pressure-
treated stakes. Pound stakes into ground at least 12" (305mm) at all inside corners of the posts (including A-frame legs and
climbing unit posts). Attach with four (4) 16D galvanized nails per stake into each 4" x 4" (95mm x 95mm) post.
• When anchoring a climbing rope with wooden stakes, anchor the rope end. Use a 2" x 4" x 18" (45mm x 95mm x
457mm) pressure-treated stake. Drill a 1-1/4" (32mm) or 1-1/8" (29mm) hole through the stake approximately 1-1/2" (38mm)
from the top of the stake. Cement stake into ground, leaving only the hole exposed. Insert rope end through hole in stake and
tie a knot in the rope to secure.
• Once the unit is completely assembled and before children are allowed to play on it, proper shock-absorbing
surfacing material must be installed. This may be accomplished by using loose-fill materials at a suf ficient depth. The
Consumer Product Safety Commission "Handbook for Public Playground Safety" lists the following materials and required
depths that are sufficient for home/residential application. For fall height protection up to 9 ft. (2.742m) [recommended for
Swing•N•Slide kits]:

* This product was referred to as W ood Mulch in previous versions of the Handbook for Playground Safety . The term Wood Chips more accurately describes
the product.
** This product was referred to as Uniform W ood Chips in previous versions of the Handbook for Playground Safety . In the playground industry, the product is
more commonly known as Engineered Wood Fibers.
*** This data is from tests conducted by independent testing laboratories on a 6 inch depth of uncompressed shredded tire samples produced by four
manufacturers. The tests reported critical heights which varied from 10 feet to greater than 12 feet. It is recommended that persons seeking t o install
shredded tires as a protective surface request test data from the supplier showing the critical height of the material when it was tested in accordance
with ASTM F 1292.
When properly installed, shock absorbing material will completely cover the horizontal baseboards on climbing units. This
protective surfacing must extend a minimum of 6 ft. (1.828m) in all directions from the perimeter of the equipment or from the
outermost edges of any component. For example, a slide extending beyond the platform must have protective surfacing at least
6 ft. (1.828mm) out from both sides as well as the end. For swings, with a 7' pivot point, the protective surface must extend at
least 14 ft. out from both the back and front of the swing when the swing is in its rest position.
