Choose the safest possible location for your Backyard Adventures play set.
It is very important to assemble your play set on relatively level ground while maintaining a safety zone around the set. All Backyard Adventures swing beams and the Peak Series are specifically designed to accommodate un-level yards to assist with a level installation. Ideally, any stationary component such as a fort, ladder, slide, or rock wall should be no less than six feet from any structure or obstruction such as a fence, tree, electrical wires or house.
Choose the most sensible ground cover for your dedicated play area.
You have many options when it comes to ground cover; to name a few, wood chips, sand, pea-gravel, or rubber mulch. You may also choose to just place your playset directly on the grass of artificial turf. (Although grass is not the ideal cover for the safest play, it is common.) An absolute no-no is to place your play set over concrete or asphalt, regardless if you add any of the above listed ground covers.
Taking care of your play set is no different than any other big investment you make.
Periodic tightening of nuts and bolts will insure the safety of your children while at play. In addition, an annual “tune-up” for your play set is highly recommended. Please contact your local dealer to inquire about their Service Program, which may include a complete safety check, play set cleaning, light sanding where needed, hardware tightening and last but not least, an application of Backyard Adventures original stain. By doing so, your investment is sure to last a lifetime!
