Painting is Required for Durability and Warranty

This swing set is supplied unpainted with a timber stain and requires painting for long-term durability, weather resistance, and to maintain your warranty. Painting protects the timber from moisture, UV damage, and weathering.

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

Simple Painting Note

The Waratah Swing Set is straightforward to paint. With two cartons of flat-packed timber (43kg total), painting before assembly is efficient. The simple design with timber frame and trapeze bar means complete coverage is quick and manageable for most DIY painters.

Adult Supervision Required at All Times

Children should always be supervised when using the swing set and trapeze bar. Regular maintenance checks are recommended to ensure all components, hardware, swing hangers, and the trapeze bar remain secure and in good condition.

Age and Safety Guidelines

• Recommended Age: 5+ years (action play and trapeze use)
• Supervision: Adult supervision required at all times
• Trapeze Safety: Ensure appropriate supervision for trapeze bar use and hanging activities

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
• Stable Base: Use timber sleepers or concrete slab as a stable foundation. Support must be used under all frame joins
• Swing Clearance: Ensure adequate clearance space around the swings and trapeze bar for safe movement. Minimum 3.5m x 3.5m space recommended for side-by-side swinging and trapeze use
• Trapeze Clearance: Ensure sufficient overhead clearance for trapeze bar hanging and swinging activities
• Weather Protection: This play equipment is not cyclone-rated. Cover during extended periods of wet weather. Bring any removable pieces indoors before severe weather
• Natural Shade: Consider placement that offers natural shade or protection from harsh afternoon sun

Compact Yet Versatile Design

The Waratah Swing Set is designed to fit in moderate-sized family backyards while offering more play variety than basic swing sets. The trapeze bar adds climbing and hanging activities without requiring extensive floor space.

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 swing set. Cracks typically close back up once moisture returns.

Easy Flat-Packed Assembly

The Waratah Swing Set comes flat-packed in two cartons for straightforward, manageable assembly. With clear hardware and detailed instructions, assembly is quick and handles well for one or two people. The simple design with swings and trapeze bar is efficient to put together.

Assembly Overview:

• Flat-packed design in two cartons (43kg total)
• One to two people can assemble with basic tools
• Estimated assembly time: 1-2 hours
• All hardware and detailed instructions included

Assembly manuals are provided with your order. A printed copy is included in your cartons.
