Every Child's Dream Playground
Daring adventures await with the Lifetime Double Adventure Tower playground with monkey bars. This playset is every child's dream with countless activities and hours of fun. However, don't be too hasty with your purchase before you know you are ready for this playground. Let's explore the steps to take before ordering. That way, when your playground does arrive, your children don't have to wait too long to start playing.
Size Matters
First, you will want to ensure you have the space prepared for the playground. You will need to not only consider the overall footprint of the playground, but also the safety dimensions around the playground. Please see the measurements below.
As you can see, the playground takes up quite a bit of space (17 ft 2 in x 29 ft 9 in) and requires some additional space around the playground (42 ft 11 in x 31 ft 2 in). This additional space around the playground allows for some space for kids to get off the slide, swing back and forth at the swing station, or for potential falls. Making sure you have enough space laid out before your playground arrives ensures a smooth transition from no playground to the best playground in your backyard.
Level Ground Is a Must
While there is an anchor kit to help anchor Lifetime playgrounds in place, they are still free standing. This means that at the end of each structural pole that touches the ground is a plastic foot to help keep it in place. What this means for construction of the playground is those feet must be level with each other. Without a level ground, the playground will experience extra stresses that could damage the playground and lessen the overall life. Initially, this means leveling out the area where you will construct the playground and then ensuring the feet are truly on level ground as you build out the playground. With your playground on level ground, you are ready for the last step in your preparation.
Maintenance Also Matters
Okay, so this step is not necessarily something to do before your playground arrives. This is more a mental step to take to recognize that this playground does have some maintenance to remain strong and viable. Your assembly instructions will outline much of this. In general, though, you will need to be prepared to at least twice a year go through all of the hardware and ensure it is all tightened up. Depending on frequency of use, you may need to do that more often than that. With all the stresses on a playset of this size, hardware will loosen and require attention. With this last preparatory mental step complete, you a ready for the best playground out there.
