Setting up a kids indoor playground is a rewarding investment—but only if the planning and installation process is well managed. From the moment you confirm your order to the day your first customers walk in, success depends on clear timelines, the right team coordination, and thoughtful preparation.
At Qilong Amusement Equipment Co., Ltd., we’ve supported thousands of playground projects across the globe. Whether it’s a small 30㎡ toddler zone or a multi-functional china commercial indoor playground, here’s a step-by-step guide to help you plan a smooth and successful installation.

Site Preparation Before Installation
You should complete the following before installers arrive:
Floor is level, cleaned, and covered with protective layer (if required)
Power outlets, lighting, and air conditioning installed
All other construction or renovation work finished
Unloading path cleared and equipment moved indoors
Tips:
Indoor humidity should be under control (below 60%)
If you're hiring your own labor, ask for the installation manual in advance
On-Site Installation

Final Testing and Opening Preparation
✅ Final checklist:
All areas cleaned and inspected
Emergency exits and signage checked
Safety mats, fences, and barriers confirmed

Once approved, you're ready to open! Consider soft launching with a members-only event or family preview to generate early feedback and social media buzz.
Common Questions from First-Time Owners
Q1: Can I install the equipment myself? Yes, for small setups (under 200㎡), Qilong can provide manuals and remote video guidance. For larger or more complex playgrounds, we recommend professional supervision.
Q2: What if I find a missing or damaged part during installation? No worries—we’ll ship replacements promptly, and our engineers can guide you online.
Q3: How much space do I need for unloading and installation? A 40’ HQ container needs a clear space for delivery. We suggest having 100㎡ clear and dry for unloading materials.
