This product is recommended for ages 5+. Regular maintenance checks are recommended to ensure all components remain secure and in good condition. Maximum weight capacity is 120kg per user. Placement Requirements Level Ground: Position on level ground to prevent unwanted movement or instability. Uneven ground can cause timber movement, resulting in gaps and warping Good Drainage: Place in an area with good drainage to prevent moisture buildup, rot and mould. Avoid low-lying areas prone to flooding Adequate Clearance: Ensure adequate clearance space around the fort for rope swings, slide, climbing wall, and climbing ladder. Minimum 5m x 5m space required. Clear area beneath rope swings Weather Protection: This play equipment is not cyclone-rated. Secure loose items, cover the fort, and bring smaller pieces indoors before severe weather Natural Shade: Consider placement that offers natural shade or protection from harsh afternoon sun Natural Timber Characteristics Timber is a natural product and may develop minor cracks and gaps over time. This is normal thermal expansion and contraction due to moisture content changes. These gaps and cracks are completely normal and do not affect the strength, durability, or structural integrity of the fort. Cracks typically close back up once moisture returns.
