Installation & Assembly

** The mounting points into the ceiling joists need to be wider than the length of the swing to
keep the ropes from rubbing on the handrails.
The above diagram is generally how the ropes will look if the mounting points are wider than the
length of the swing. Ceiling height as well as joist spacing can affect the angle of the ropes.
**All of our swings can be mounted to a 96” joist spacing which will work on 16” on center or
24” on center joist spacing.
The above diagram shows the ropes going straight up. To achieve this look you will more than
likely have to have special blocking installed in your ceiling joists. Please see table on the next
page that shows swing hole spacing for blocking. This is generally not an option on an older
home unless you have access to the ceiling joists above the finished ceiling, or unless you have
exposed beams.
The above diagram shows how the ropes will look if the mounting points in the ceiling joists are
narrower than the swing. This is not recommended as it will limit the swinging motion and may
cause the rope to rub on the side of your swing and could potentially rub the finish off of your
swing on the sides.
