Basic Setup Dimensions

Please follow all recommendations below. Failure to do so may result in the warranty
being void and/or safety violations that could result in serious injury. The following
information has been provided to help you in your installation, continued satisfaction, and
safe operation of your BackyardTiger purchase.
Always keep the safety of your children in mind as your play structure is being built and
as your children play on the set. Before your children play on the set please review the
Operation Instructions with them to help ensure their safety.

Positioning Your Play Center

1. The Playcenter is designed to be installed on a level surface by an Adult with an
Adult helper. Try to place in a flat area of your yard to minimize ground preparation.
2.Choose a level location for the equipment. This can reduce the likelihood of the play
set tipping over and loose-fill surfacing material washing away during heavy rains.
3. Place the equipment not less than 6 ft from any structure or obstruction such as a
fence, garage, house, overhanging branches, laundry lines, or electrical wires.
4. Provide enough room so that the children can use the equipment safely. For example,
For structures with multiple play activities, a slide should not exit in front of a swing.
5. It is a good idea to place your Playcenter in an area that is convenient for adults to
watch children at play.
6. Create a site free of obstacles that could cause injuries - such as low overhanging tree
branches, overhead wires, tree stumps and/or roots, large rocks, bricks and concrete.
We have additional suggestions in the Suggested Playground Surfacing Section.
7. Do not build your playset on top of surfacing material.
8. Locate bare metal platforms and slides out of direct sunlight to reduce the likelihood
of serious burns. A slide that faces north will receive the least direct sunlight.
9. Separate active and quiet activities from each other. For example, locate sandboxes
away from swings or use a guardrail or barrier to separate the sandbox from the
movement of the swings.

Place the set on level ground, not less than 6ft from any structure or obstruction as a
fence, garage, house, overhanging branches, laundry lines or electrical wires.
