Safety & Installation

At Maaki Bars, safety is at the heart of every design. Our climbing frames are built to be sturdy, secure, and long-lasting, but the safest play happens when each bar is installed correctly and cared for with a little regular attention.

  • Read the instruction manual before you begin.

  • Check all parts and fittings are included.

  • Choose a flat, level area with clear space around the frame.

  • Keep away from fences, trees, paths, and hard surfaces.

Tools You’ll Need

Each Maaki Bar comes with all essential fittings, but you’ll also need:

●. Two adults for safe assembly
● Rubber mallet (optional for alignment)
●. Ground anchoring materials (included in your kit)

No special tools or trade skills are required — just teamwork, care, and time.

Ground Anchoring

To ensure stability and safety, your Maaki Bar must be anchored securely to the ground.

Full step-by-step anchoring instructions are included with your Maaki Bar manual.

Weather Use

Maaki Bars are designed for outdoor use in all weather, but take care during:
Wet or frosty days - bars may become slippery.
Strong winds - avoid swinging accessories until calm.

Safe Play Tips

Once your Maaki Bar is installed, help your tamariki play safely:

● Always supervise young children.
● Keep the area clear of obstacles, pets, and debris.
● Encourage safe climbing, one at a time, no rough play.
● Check bolts and fittings regularly.
● Use soft ground surfaces like grass, bark, or safety matting
● Let confidence and creativity grow, safely.
