Under the fabric roof of the playhouse fort sits a raised platform 23 inches off the ground, with the canopy peak at 52 inches, so children get shade and a base of their own before they reach the slide. Four elements make up the set: the covered fort, a 46 by 12 inch slide, a ladder and a height-adjustable baby seat that moves between 8 and 10.5 inches for children six to 24 months. The remaining areas suit ages three to seven. A metal frame in an A shape with a reinforced cross bar and extra ground stakes holds the structure steady, and the baby seat hangs on solid carabiners with multi-strand rope and a harness. Overall the set measures 7.5 by 6.7 by 5.5 feet, weighs 73 pounds and rates to 200 pounds. It ships in two cartons.
