SPECIFICATIONS FOR KIDSTUFF PLAYSYSTEMS COMPONENTS
Ages Toddler - 5 Playsystem, 3.5"OD Posts
POWDER-COATING: Powder-coating is a scratch and chip resistant, extremely
UV-stable outdoor polyester finish that retains its bright, colorful appearance for
years. All steel tubing in the Kidstuff series is powder-coated over galvanizing for
additional rust protection. Welds are treated with a zinc-rich powder, oven treated
before the color coat. Powder-coating is oven-baked until cured. Powder thickness
depends on color, but minimum thickness is 2.8 - 3.0 mils. Every metal part in any
Kidstuff playstructure is powder or ''plastisol'' coated (excluding swing chain and
galvanized bridge support elements).
CLAMP: The Kidstuff clamp is die cast from aluminum alloy in the USA and then
powder-coated. The clamp incorporates a molded-in socket to encompass each
pipe end. Clamp halves attach with 5/16'' x 1-1/4'' socket-head bolts and nylon lock
nuts. Pipe end is held in the clamp socket by a 3/8'' x 1/2'' setscrew. Stainless
expansion pins (1/4'' x 3/4'' to 2'') driven through the socket and into the pipe
provide additional retention security for components where pull-out could
compromise safety or structural integrity. Hardware is stainless steel and is tamper-
resistant. Every clamp is also secured to each post with pins (above) at job
conclusion to prevent slippage or rotation
FASTENERS: Tamper resistant hardware is used throughout every Kidstuff
system. Fasteners meet or exceed requirements of ASTM 1487-11 section 4. 2ff.
Stainless steel hardware is used almost exclusively (99.5% of applications).
STEEL TUBING: Throughout all Kidstuff structures tubing is high-strength steel,
galvanized, with a zinc-coated interior. After component fabrication all welds are
prefinished with baked-on, zinc-rich polyester powder prior to final color-coat powder
application. Outside diameter (OD) is noted in individual specifications. Typically,
1.16'' OD tubing is a min. 17 ga., 1.31'' OD and 1.50'' is a min. 14 ga., 1.90'' OD and
2.38'' OD are min. 13 ga. Where heavier tubing is employed it is mentioned in the
specifications. All tubing is AMERICAN MADE and meets or exceeds applicable
ASTM specifications.
CRAWL-THROUGH PANEL: Double-walled, rotationally-molded, UV-stabilized
HDPE plastic with a nominal wall thickness of 1/4". Panel is 38 1/2” H. x 30” W. x 3
1/4” with a 24” diameter hole in the middle. Panel mounts on 1.16” OD tubing going
completely through part. Four clamps secure unit to posts. May be used on or
under decks, or as a free-standing play event.
