For a detailed list of all parts and quantities, please refer to the official Installation Manual (PDF).
Setup and Assembly
Assembly of the Zupapa Climbing Dome with Slide requires careful attention to detail. It is recommended to have at least two adults for efficient and safe assembly.
- Unpack all components and verify against the parts list in the Installation Manual.
- Lay out all tubes and connectors in an organized manner.
- Begin assembling the dome structure according to the step-by-step instructions provided in the manual.
- Important Hint: Do not tighten all the bolts completely during the initial assembly phases. Leave them loose enough so you can move the bars around and align them properly. This flexibility is crucial for fitting all pieces together.
- Once all components are in place and the structure is fully assembled, go back and securely tighten all bolts and nuts. The updated design features lengthened screws and added nuts for improved stability and easier assembly.
- Attach the slide and fabric platform as per the manual's instructions.
- Perform a final inspection to ensure all connections are secure and there are no loose parts.
