Castle Play Structure: Day 3 Install

Raising the Roofs: On Day 3 of the Castle Play Structure installation, the crew raises the big 2-piece Gable Roof on the Clubhouse and the smaller 1-piece Gable Roof on the Princess Tower. It takes strength, agility and team work to put a roof up on a 2-story play set. Barbara, the overseer (and also referred to as the “clucker”) documented the process with her camera while keeping watch and making sure all went safely & smoothly.


The BIG redwood gable roof goes up first:

One side up and looking good…

Bringing up the 2nd piece:

The smaller 1-piece gable roof for the Princess Tower goes up last:

Also perfect!
Barbara’s modular system makes even a large, complicated installation flow smoothly & quickly. Most installations are completed within 4 to 5 days.
Next, the 9′ long bridge over 2 swings…
