***During the first month of use, the ropes will slightly stretch and the knots will tighten. Try to alternate
which side you sit on so that both sides settle the same. Not doing this can result in the swing sitting out of
level. After the first month or so (depending on use) the swing will reach it’s final resting place and should be
completely settled.
If you have any questions during your assembly or install, please call for further assistance. We are available at
this number listed above Monday-Thursday 7am-5pm. If you call after 5pm, or Friday-Sunday, please leave a
message and we will get back in touch with you at our earliest convenience.
Adjusting the Swing
In the event that you do not like the height that you hung your swing at, or ever have to adjust it for one reason
or another, it is a very simple process. Take your bucket or support that you used to initially install the swing
and place it under the swing. Doing this should relieve the tension off of the ropes that are connecting the swing
to the ceiling. Untie the “Figure 8 knot” by holding the knot with one hand and pushing the section that is
coming from the ceiling into the knot. This is not always the easiest task depending on how long the knot has
been tied. If you have issues untying the knot, we have used pliers to grip the rope or a screwdriver to pry the
knot apart. After untying the knot, simply hang the swing at the height that want, retying the “Figure 8 knot”.
Note: Remember the knot will tighten again since it has been retied. However if the swing has been in use for a
while, the rope has already stretched.
Rope Care
In the event that your rope starts to turn a darker color or black please see the following directions. The rope
initially comes to you soaked in Linseed oil from the factory. These natural oils keep the rope moist and protect
it from bacteria or mold from forming in the rope. If you see any d
iscoloration or mold starting to form, simply
take a light dish detergent (Do not use anything harsh like Dawn brand dish soap- the rope manufacturer
recommends using a cheap brand). After lightly cleaning the rope, let it air dry. Lightly apply Linseed oil
(available at your local hardware store) with a brush.
