Rocks may be attached to wood in different configurations for different age groups with farther spacing for older children and closer spacing for younger children.  Wood should be treated to withstand weather conditions in the area that the rock wall is installed.   All hardware should be checked monthly for signs of wood cracking or hardware rusting.  Make sure screws are installed so that they are secure.

Maintenance: Do the following to reduce the chance of serious injuries.  Check monthly for cracks, rust, missing rivets, open S-hooks or evidence of vandalism such as cutting, metal showing through the material or bent seats from children standing on them.  Tighten and lubricate all metallic moving parts per manufacturer’s instructions.  Check all protective coverings on nuts, bolts, pipes, edges, corners and all moving parts including swing hangers, swing seats, ropes, cables, chains and shackles.  Replace as needed.  Make sure there are no exposed footings, anchoring devices, rocks, roots, holes or any other obstacles in or around playground equipment.  In high use areas these inspections should be done more frequently.   Clean with mild soap and water when you do the monthly maintenance checks.

Any damage from vandalism, abuse or misuse VOIDS all warranties.
