- Large items ship by freight truck with curbside delivery, unless a loading dock is available. Liftgate service is not included.
- The customer is responsible for unloading. A forklift is recommended, especially for commercial play systems and shade structures, which can be very large and heavy.
- Many crates and pallets can be taken apart and unloaded by hand, but this takes longer. If unloading goes beyond the carrier's free unloading time (usually 2 to 3 hours), the carrier may charge detention fees, which are the customer's responsibility.
- Once your order ships, we will email you tracking details and unloading instructions.
- Please inspect your shipment before signing, and note any visible damage or missing pieces on the delivery receipt.

Safe Use & Installation Highlights
- Seats are for children ages 4–12 only – not for adults; one child per seat
- Do not allow children to stand or kneel on seats, twist chains or wrap them around the top beam
- Adults should supervise children at all times; do not use if wet or damaged
- Assemble the frame first, then dig holes 2′ deep × 2′ in diameter; set a brick at the bottom of each hole and level the frame before pouring concrete
- Let concrete cure 24 hours and check sturdiness before use
- Never install over concrete, asphalt or other hard surfaces – grass and dirt are not protective surfacing
- Surfacing should extend at least 6′ from the sides and twice the top-bar height in front of and behind the swings
- Post warning signs showing the intended age group, per CPSC guidelines
- Inspect monthly during the play season: set screws, chains, shackles, hanger bearings, rust and surfacing depth
