Troubleshooting

Wobbly structure after assembly

Ensure all bolts and screws are tightened securely. Use the provided ground anchors and consider concreting them into the ground for maximum stability, especially on uneven surfaces.

Slide not attaching correctly

Verify that the slide is aligned with the designated mounting points on the tower. Check that no obstructions are present. Refer to the assembly manual for correct slide placement.

Wood appears to be degrading

Inspect the wood for signs of rot or insect damage. Re-treat the wood annually with a suitable outdoor wood sealant or preservative to maintain its integrity and lifespan.
