Climbing Steps

PlayStar Climbing Steps are designed to fit backyard playsets with 4-foot (48-inch) or 5-foot (60-inch) play decks. Each deck height has its own installation instructions for proper positioning and attachment.

PlayStar Climbing Steps are approximately 23 inches wide and extend 4 feet horizontally from the playset. Installation requires a 21½-inch opening in the play deck.

PlayStar Climbing Steps feature extra-wide 2-inch by 6-inch steps and continuous handrails sized specifically for children. These features provide room for foot placement and hand support when entering or exiting an elevated play deck.

No. Lumber is sold separately. Both deck configurations require one 2-inch by 6-inch by 8-foot board. Installation on a 5-foot deck also requires additional 2-inch by 4-inch lumber for a filler board. Follow the assembly instructions for the required cutting measurements.

PlayStar Climbing Steps have a weight rating of 300 pounds.

PlayStar Climbing Steps feature components made from 100% Virgin Grade High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). This durable plastic is designed to resist cracking, breaking, and fading during outdoor use. The steps require additional lumber, which is sold separately.

Yes. PlayStar Climbing Steps can be installed on a 60-inch play deck. This configuration requires the top step to be positioned 12 inches below the play deck surface and an additional filler board installed between the top step and deck supports. Follow the 60-inch deck mounting instructions for proper installation.

PlayStar Climbing Steps include assembly and mounting instructions for 4-foot and 5-foot decks. Installation requires a drill, 1/8-inch drill bit, tape measure, saw, square, rubber mallet, Phillips screwdriver, and safety glasses. Additional lumber is required, and the 5-foot deck installation also requires additional deck screws.

The 5-foot deck installation requires a filler board between the top step and the deck supports to reduce the size of the openings. The remaining gaps should be approximately 1¾ inches and must not exceed 3½ inches to prevent a potential head entrapment hazard.

The climbing steps are positioned in the 21½-inch deck opening and secured using three #14 x 1¼-inch pan head screws on each side. The top step must be flush with the deck surface for a 4-foot deck or positioned 12 inches below the deck surface for a 5-foot deck. Follow the appropriate mounting instructions to ensure correct placement.
