6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and safety of your playset.

• Wood Care: The playset is made of high-quality cedar, which is naturally waterproof, anti-corrosion, and anti-crack. Periodically inspect the wood for any signs of wear, splintering, or damage. Sand down any rough spots and apply a wood sealant annually to maintain its condition and protect against weathering.
• Hardware Check: Regularly check all bolts, nuts, and screws for tightness. Tighten as needed to ensure structural integrity.
• Swing Chains: Inspect swing chains for any signs of rust or wear. The plastic coating helps protect them, but ensure it remains intact.
• Ground Anchors: Verify that ground anchors remain securely in place, especially after heavy winds or rain.
• Cleaning: Clean the playset with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the wood or plastic components.

7. Troubleshooting

• Missing Parts: If you find any parts missing during assembly, please contact customer support. The packaging includes 10% more spare parts to mitigate this issue.
• Difficulty Aligning Wood Pieces: Some wood pieces may appear slightly warped. Ensure you are following the 3D building plan precisely. If alignment issues persist, contact customer support.
• Wood Cracking: When drilling, apply gentle and steady pressure. Excessive force can cause the cedar wood to crack. If minor cracks occur, they can often be repaired with wood glue and clamps.
• Playset Instability: Ensure all ground anchors are properly installed and secured. Verify all bolts and nuts are tightened.
