1 x Steel hanging bracket
2 x 5/16 x 2” Hex Head lag bolts
Tools needed to assemble your Single Swing
Hanging System. 1/4 Drill and 1/2” wrench or socket.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Select a location for your swing that is 6 1/2 feet to 8 1/2 feet
above ground or floor level and will support 265 lbs. Beam
should not be a soft wood that will not support the rigors of
swinging. Position hanging system bracket along the center
line of the beam on which you wish to hang your swing. Make
sure beam has no knots or cracks or rot.
CAUTION:
A. Mounting Hardware included is safety rated ONLY for load
bearing structures. The steel hanging bracket is not safety
tested and approved for concrete surfaces, steel or plastic
construction, particle board and the like material, or vinyl
siding.
B. The steel hanging bracket is to make contact with mounting
surface. Structural support unit must accommodate maximum
safe weight limit of 265 pounds.
C. Prior to each use of your swing, inspect the ropes and other
materials in your swing including but not limited to: the
mounting hardware, installation points, and objects supporting
your swing for signs of weakness or wear. Do not use if there
are any signs that the material or supports are not in proper
condition.

NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR IMPROPER INSTALLATION.
2. Mark drill holes on center line with a pencil where the bolt
holes are located on the bracket and expose bare wood.
3. Drill holes where indicated by marked spots with a 1/4” drill,
approximately 2” deep.
4. Affix “S” hook to hanging bracket. Position bracket with
bracket holes over drill holes and install bolts by hand. Tighten
with wrench or socket. Do not overtighten bolts. Bolts will strip
the wood, thus causing a reduction in load capacity.
5. Hook the “S” hook on the chain to the ring on the swing.
6. Hook the chain on the swing to the bottom of “S” hook.
Adjust the height of the swing with the chain for maximum
comfort. When sitting in the swing, your feet should touch the
ground with knees slightly bent. Note: The first time you hang
the swing, it may seem too high off the ground, however; the
ropes will stretch, bringing the swing to a more comfortable
level. Simply adjust the chain to put your swing at the desired
height.

WARNING:
- Not recommended for use by children without adult
supervision.
- Your swing is not built to hold more than one person at a
time.
- Your swing is not designed for high, rough swinging or
twisting movements.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
By observing the following suggestions, your Macrame
Hammock Chair will reward you with many hours of relaxion.
- When you hang your hammock chair for the first time
and the weave appears pulled or uneven, give it a
good shake and it should straighten right out.
- Store your swing in a cool, dry place. Be sure that it is not
wet or damp when rolled and stored or the rope may
mildew or rot. If your swing does get wet, let it dry
thoroughly before storing. A water repelling agent may
be useful on the rope for additional protection. - Squirrels,
mice, and bugs also enjoy our swings, using the rope
fibers to construct nests. Dogs have been known to use
these swings for chewing purposes. Consequently, do not
hang or store your swing in an area where pets may be
able to get to it. Avoid storing near certain chemicals and
pesticides that may destroy the rope.
PRIOR TO EACH USE OF YOUR SWING, INSPECT THE ROPES
AND OTHER MATERIALS IN YOUR SWING, THE MOUNTING
HARDWARE, INSTALLATION POINTS, AND OBJECTS SUPPORT-
ING YOUR SWING FOR SIGNS OF WEAR OR WEAKNESS. DO
NOT USE IF THERE ARE ANY SIGNS THAT THE MATERIALS OR
SUPPORTS ARE NOT IN PROPER CONDITION.
