Painting and Care Guide

Painting is Essential

This play set arrives unpainted. For long-term durability and to maintain your warranty, you must paint with high-quality primer and paint.

Recommended Painting Process:

  • Paint before assembly for best results and complete coverage
  • Apply minimum 2 coats of quality primer, sealer and undercoat
  • Apply minimum 2 coats of exterior-grade paint
  • Use a brush rather than spray for better coverage
  • Ensure complete coverage of all surfaces including edges and corners

Plastic Component Colour Note

While colour options are available for slides, climbing handles, grips, and swings, minor variations may occur due to manufacturing processes. All plastic components can be ordered in your choice of colour at time of purchase.

Safety and Placement Information

Adult Supervision Required

Children should always be supervised when playing in and around the set. 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 set for rope swings, slide, climbing net, and climbing wall. Minimum 5m x 5m space required. Clear ground area beneath rope swings
  • Weather Protection: This play equipment is not cyclone-rated. Secure loose items, cover the set, 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 set. Cracks typically close back up once moisture returns.

Assembly and Support

Assembly Time: 5-6 hours for two adults

The Matilda Play Set is a comprehensive multi-feature playset with rope swings, climbing net, rock wall, slide, and elevated platform. The product comes partially assembled in five cartons. Allowing adequate time ensures proper assembly of the multiple components, rope systems, and swing attachment points for safety.
