Does the play equipment fit with its manufacturer use zone?
The use-zone check is incomplete until you enter the exact manual/model reference and all sides of the manufacturer zone.
How this check works
Physical equipment footprint and the manual-entered use-zone envelope are separate dimensions; the calculator asks for review when the use zone is unverified.
The calculator starts with a labeled illustrative setup, not a named product. Replace the sample dimensions with measured values before relying on the result.
Tight fit
Physical space remains, but selected targets are short on . See physical and target margins below.

- Manufacturer use-zone dimensions and a manual/model reference are required before treating this as a complete play-space assessment.

Assumptions
- The equipment use zone is safety-sensitive and must be copied from the exact manufacturer manual; Fitwise supplies no generic use-zone dimensions.
- A physical footprint fit does not establish safe fall zones, impact surface, anchors, overhead hazards or supervision requirements.
Scope and limitations
- No generic safety/fall zone is supplied.
- Surface impact, anchoring, supervision, overhead hazards and legal requirements are not assessed.
