"Equipment should be inspected weekly to ensure that all screws, nuts, blots, and nails are firmly in place. Should the purchaser neglect any suggested maintenance, this warranty is rendered invalid. Purchaser assumes all liability for site location and any anad all problems resutling from such placement (noise, vandalism, traffic, etc.)."
From the same document, here are some quotes from the Skatepark Maintenance Schedule:
Weekly:
"Inspect the riding and pad surface of all obstacles."
Monthly:
"Inspect all hardware to ensure that the nuts and bolts are secure. Tighten as needed."
Quarterly:
"Your steel components have been coated polyester powder coating or galvanized. However, if scratched deep enough, the steel underneath will rust. Although there is no structural danger in this, spend an hour or so touching up with ARC provided color/texture to match paint to maintain aesthetics."
What we get from this is that you have to be conducting maintenance checks on your skatepark weekly or American Ramp Company's warranty on the skatepark becomes invalid. They also suggest painting the skatepark every few months. The best skateparks are done right the first time, and do not require these frequent maintenance repairs.
Another interesting point is that when an American Ramp Company skatepark starts rusting, they say this doesn't present any danger. We feel that a rusty skatepark is very dangerous because it causes skaters to fall and hurt themselves, and possibly fall on the rusty surface which can cause tetanus.
