FAQ
Everything you need to know about bloc.
Before you buy
The right size depends on your available garden space, the number of accessories you want to use and how your family plans to use the Frame. You can find more detailed information in our Size Guide.
Choose a level area of grass and keep a safety zone of at least 2,2m around the Frame, free from fences, walls, trees and other obstacles. In the direction of a swing, we recommend approximately 4,8m of clear space.
The bloc Frame is designed for installation on level, firm and well-drained grass. Installation on concrete, asphalt or sloped ground is not permitted.

Assembly & Installation
Assembly takes approximately 4–6 hours with 2–3 people. Most of the time is spent preparing the ground and digging the required holes and trenches.
No. The bloc Frame is designed to be securely installed without concrete. The legs and connecting struts are buried in the ground and the excavated soil is firmly compacted around them.
A rubber mallet and the required Allen wrenches are included. You will additionally need a spade and shovel. We also recommend using a cordless screwdriver to make assembly easier.
The bloc Frame is designed for DIY installation. However, because of the size and weight of the components, we recommend assembling it with 2–3 people.

The bloc Frame is designed for children from age 3. Toddlers between 9 and 36 months may use the system only with an appropriate baby swing and under constant adult supervision. Individual accessories may have different minimum age requirements.
Yes. That is an important part of the bloc concept. While PLAY modules are designed primarily for children, MOVE modules such as the pull-up bar or suspension trainer turn the Frame into an outdoor workout station for teenagers and adults.
The system is TÜV Süd-certified, complies with the EN71-1-2-3-8 standard & in the process of ASTM F1148 (for home use), and bears the CE mark. The total static load capacity is up to 400 kg.
Yes. The minimum age depends on the individual accessory. PLAY and MOVE products therefore include their own age and safety information on the respective product page and in the instructions.
