Instructions for easy play tower assembly
This detailed walkthrough will make it easier to assemble your playset. Using the SmartZone as an example, this page provides guidance for the best assembly technique in 10 bitesize videos.
The video gives an idea of what to expect when it comes to assembling Wickey playsets in general, as the playsets share some similar features such as the tower, slide, swing, and surf swing.
IMPORTANT: We recommend pre-drilling holes for every step to avoid splitting the wood during assembly.
