4. Setup and Assembly Instructions
Assembly of the Avenlur playset requires careful attention to detail. The wood components are pre-cut, pre-drilled, and pre-stained for convenience.
- Site Preparation: Choose a level area in your backyard, ensuring adequate clearance around the playset for safe use.
- Foundation: Dig 6 holes (4 for the main playhouse and 2 for the A-frame) approximately 8 inches deep. These posts must be set in concrete to ensure the stability and safety of the structure. It is crucial to ensure the posts are square and level during this process.
- Frame Assembly: Begin by assembling the main fort structure. Attach the pre-drilled wooden panels using the provided hardware.
- A-Frame Installation: The A-frame for the swings should be attached to the main structure. This step may require two adults for safe lifting and securing.
- Component Attachment: Install the ladder, rock wall, and wavy slide to their designated positions. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
- Swing Installation: Attach the belt swings to the swing beam using the provided hardware. Verify that the swings hang freely and do not interfere with each other or the playset structure.
- Final Inspection: After assembly, perform a thorough inspection of all bolts, nuts, and connections to ensure they are securely fastened. Check for any sharp edges or protruding hardware.
