- Install the Slide: Securely attach the yellow slide to the designated opening in the dome structure using the provided hardware. Ensure the slide is stable and level.
- Attach the Platform: Install the fabric/mesh platform inside the dome, if applicable, following the instructions for its specific attachment points.
- Tighten All Fasteners: Once the entire structure is assembled, go back and securely tighten all bolts, nuts, and fasteners. Do not overtighten to avoid stripping threads.
- Secure with Ground Stakes: Position the climbing dome in its desired location. Use the provided ground stakes to anchor the base of the structure firmly into the ground.
- Final Inspection: Perform a thorough inspection to ensure all parts are correctly assembled, all fasteners are tight, and there are no sharp edges or hazards.
