Hey! I have this play yard for my son. We have it in a rectangle. Any recommendations on securing it? He pulls one side almost all the way down!

Sorry no suggestions...I bought this product to keep my miniature weiner dog in the yard. Needless to say I don't have to worry about her pulling anything down or getting bigger.

I really don't have an answer for this . When my grandchildren used it they were content to stay in there and play,have a cookie or their bottle or toys. Put a light blanket in there also. However my other grandaughter tries to pull on it. I think after awhile they will get bored and stop trying. Hopefully!

It isn't easy to secure but this is what I've done: Put the lower circular connectors on top of one another so they are together. The top parts then go together by pushing the part that sticks up into the groove on the edge of the other side. They then are locked in place.

I see no way of securing it. We've just had some bad storms and heavy rain in the area; the bench sits out between two trees and flower pots and it has never tipped over. If someone wants it, it's a heavy piece to be taking. Not something you could easily carry off.

We really like it, my 5yr old, and I. We have only used the children's attachments. The bummer is you have to leave to door open all the time, put it up and take it down or find a door with a frame that is out of the way. Not a problem for us being it's in the basement playroom. I would also agree a person earlier to purchase a second Carabiner, for ease of switching equipment.

Personally, I'd put another mat or a rug beneath it. It has a decent pad if it's placed on a carpeted surface, but I'd be a little nervous putting it on a hardwood floor. Otherwise, I loved this play yard. :)

Based on what my son has done so far in the play yard it will not tip but of course anything is possible. He is 17 months old, 30 lbs & 34" tall. The reason I purchased the play yard is because he tipped over his play pen by running back & forth from one side to the other. He has attempted the same thing in the play yard and has not tipped it at all. He also has put all of his weight on one panel attempting to climb out of it & the other side did not lift at all.

I am having the same problem. I plan to anchor it by placing a roped Brick O block to each corner post and lay one block on each side and back to prevent wind from getting under it. I have not tried it , but plan to.Please let me know of any ideas you get from others

If it were me, I would contact the seller about it. My king is a solid piece of wood and has held up perfectly. With the moisture that it will encounter in the grass I would be concerned about the pieces separating over time. I hope they do something for you. Kubb on!

I attach mine at the very top of the wall and run fleece bridges or stick perches a little underneath as my guys really enjoy climbing and jumping in. If you are concerned you can start it at the bottom, that way if they are not used to this type of wheel and happen to get pl overly excited and fall out, they have a place to land nearby :)

You potentially could add stakes, there are 4 little loops on each corner that you could secure stakes to the ground. Our 6 month old at the time loved it at the beach.

I would highly recommend anchoring it. It is fairly light weight because it is blow-molded plastic. Upon initial setup I did not anchor it and we had a couple windy days that resulted in the play-set being blown a good 3-4 feet away (it did not tip or break). Since putting anchors in it has not moved and I feel more at ease when the kids are playing on it.

It should just pull off from one of the corners. All of mine did, so I don't know. Maybe try dampening it?

We have ours stretched out as a fence with half of it straight and half zig-zagged, crossing a room, anchored to two walls. Our 19-mo-old son REALLY likes to grab it in the middle with both fists and shove it back and forth. A lot. With his whole bodyweight. It slides back and forth across the Berber carpet, because the plastic-toothed joints aren't industrial quality and do have some give to them in the middle of the fence no matter how you tighten them, when it's stretched out like this. However, having him treat it like that for a few months, now, doesn't seem to have worn or bent anything yet (I just keep having to reposition and tighten the fence every few days)...

If it sags you can move poles further apart or tie the top of the net tighter to eliminate any sagging. As a family we have enjoyed playing together and whenever the kids are out playing all the neighborhood kids stop by and instantly a mini tournament breaks out.

Attach those pieces to each side of the barn ( on the bottom ); to keep the barn from tipping over-those pieces keep the barn standing while the kids are playing with the toy. Hope that helps!

Rope would be the answer tied to each castle corner, then loop that between the decking as mentioned already. A concern would be an accident of falling out (doorway or down slide) onto the deck vs. "softer" grass / lawn...

You have to "slide" it in from the side, I think. Worth a try. Or maybe have one person hold one side down while another person pushes the axle down with foot (while wearing a shoe!) Try both suggestions. It's been a while since I put ours together. We have so many of these kids things, it hard to remember how they were all put together. I totally understand your frustration!
