Cedar Logs and other natural wood material have natural characteristics like checking, taper in the logs from one end to the other, bends, curves, etc. These characteristics are normal, natural, and even desirable to provide organic character to each piece. They do not affect structural integrity and are therefore not covered by our warranty. Warranted parts must be subject to normal use, no unusual stresses i.e. encounters with lawn mowers, fires, vehicles, fires, lightning bolts, floods, hurricanes, tornados, vandalism, misuse, neglect, accidents or acts of god, etc are not covered by warranty. Rotting wood is only covered to the extent that it will cause structural failure within the warranty period.

Not all equipment may be appropriate for all children, even when designed for a target age group. To avoid injury you should closely supervise and participate in the child’s use of this equipment, especially while learning to use it. Proper supervision is required.
