Horizontal ladder climber – Playground structure

Before you start the assemble manufacture, please read the content of the following links carefully.

They are dealing with child security on playgrounds, also the ways how to build a safe
playground construction. If you have very small child, and you are taking it on this kind of
playgrounds, watch carefully your child, so you could prevent any kind of injury or falling.

These assemblies are remarkably good for the physical development of child and its movement
coordination, so it would be a real shame to deprive the child this kind of game, just out of fear of
eventually injury, which can be prevented by focusing on your child while playing. Also, on these
playgrounds a child meets other children and develops social habits. And parents who are bringing
their children here can also bond with other parents and become friends.

Carefully make the parts of the Horizontal ladder by the measurements given on particular
pictures. The measurements are given in millimeters, while the measurements given in inches are in
brakes (1 inch = 25, 4 mm).

Of course you can also use thinner tubings than 51mm (2In) in diameter, but if you work with thinner kind of tubing do not forget to adjust dimensions of all the
parts and assemblies to this change.

Assemblage instructions

1. Weld the Round Tubings D51 x 3,6mm Cut Length 2918,00 (Part 1), Tubings D51 x 3,6mm Cut Length
5025,40 (Part 2) and Inserts (Part 6) together.

2. Make two of these subassemblies.

3. Carefully attach these two subassemblies on distance according the 2D documentation by using clamps or
some kind of similar tool and weld couple of Round Tubings D31,8x3,2mm Cut length 450,00mm (Part 4)
– one at each end and two on top will be the best to weld at this point.

4. Weld the remaining parts of Round Tubings D31,8x3,2mm Cut length 450,00mm (Part 4).

Before painting, smoothen the welded spots with a grinding machine, so the child will not get any scratches or
other harms during the play.

5. Dig two holes in the ground with the same dimensions as on the pictures below.

6. Put the Bars D12mm (Part 5) into the holes on the Round Tubings D51 x 3,6mm Cut Length 2918,00 (Part
1) and this way formed subassembly put into the holes and pour concrete in it.
