Introduction

Play structures can make your child's play area the best place in town. Here are some things to keep in mind when choosing its location.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Steps

1

Step One

Ensure that there is sufficient space for the full manufacturer's recommended safety zone around the structure.
2

Step Two

Site the structure in a place where the sound of playing children will not bother neighbors or work-at-home parents.
3

Step Three

Place the structure in a spot that is well-drained, or correct the drainage so that play is possible after a rainfall.
4

Step Four

Situate a structure so that it is not in full sun if it has metal components. A blazing-hot slide is not usable.
5

Step Five

Position the structure so that parents can supervise play either from a nearby table or bench or from inside.
6

Step Six

Site the structure in a place that is shielded from the street to protect the children from passersby.
