SAFETY & MAINTENANCE INFORMATION
CAUTION: If you are not familiar with construction, please use a qualied
general contractor to install. Improper installation may cause injury. Swinging
with the NETTED TREE GLIDER involves an inherent risk that can cause
serious injury or even death. NETTED TREE GLIDER is more dangerous
than a regular swing. Head injuries and strangulation is possible and can
cause brain injury. Use with caution. Purchaser and users assume all risk,
responsibility, and liability for use of the NETTED TREE GLIDER, including
any resulting loss or damage to persons or property. Do not install home
playground equipment over concrete, asphalt, packed earth, grass, carpet,
or any other hard surface. A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious
injury or death to the equipment user. To prevent serious injury, cautionary
statements shall be included which warn that children must not use the
equipment until properly installed. Bliss Hammocks, Inc. assumes no liability
arising from the use and application of this product and specically disclaims
any and all consequential and incidental damages.
SAFETY & MAINTENANCE: Before using the NETTED TREE GLIDER,
inspect your NETTED TREE GLIDER, tree straps, installation points and
objects supporting your NETTED TREE GLIDER for wear or weakness.
Make sure the straps are not frayed. Tighten all hardware. Check metal
parts for rust Always make sure your NETTED TREE GLIDER and tree are
in good condition before using it. Proceed carefully and take your time
installing it. Misuse or rough play may result in falls and may wear out your
NETTED TREE GLIDER and hardware prematurely. Children should be
supervised while using the NETTED TREE GLIDER. Make sure to leave more
than enough room in between the NETTED TREE GLIDER, obstacles and
people surrounding its installation area. Check all deterioration. Replace as
needed. Empty your pockets of all hard or sharp objects. Do not attempt
to ride more than one person on the NETTED TREE GLIDER. Do not use
headphones while using the NETTED TREE GLIDER. Wearing a bike helmet
is recommended when using this swing.
OPERATING INFORMATION: Instruct children not to walk close to,
in front of, behind, or between moving items. Instruct children not to
twist swing chains or ropes or loop them over the top support structure
since this may reduce the strength of the chain or rope. Instruct children
not to swing an empty swing. Instruct children not to use the equipment
in a manner other than intended. Make sure children do not get off
equipment while it is in motion. Instruct children not to attach the item to
the playground equipment that is not specically designed for use with
the equipment, such as, but not limited to, jump ropes, clothesline, pet
leashes, cables and chain as they may cause a strangulation hazard. Make
sure to dress children with well-tting and full foot enclosing footwear.
Examples of inappropriate footwear are clogs, ip ops, and sandals.
Never add extra length to chain or rope. The chains or ropes provided are
the maximum lengths designed for the swinging elements(s). Do not use
around vehicles or power lines.
DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS: Disassemble and dispose of the playground
equipment in such a way that no unreasonable hazards will exist at the
time the equipment is discarded. Follow all local disposal requirements.
CONSUMER INFORMATION SHEET FOR PLAYGROUND
SURFACING MATERIALS
The U.S Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimates that
about 100,000 playground equipment related injuries resulting from falls
to the ground surface are treated annually in the U.S hospital emergency
rooms. Injuries involving this hazard pattern tend to be among the
most serious of all playground injuries, and have the potential to be
fatal, particularly when the injury is to the head. The surface under and
around the playground equipment can be a major factor in determining
the injury causing potential of a fall. It is self evident that a fall onto
a shock-absorbing surface is less than likely to cause a serious injury
than a fall onto a hard surface. Playground equipment should never be
placed on hard surfaces such as concrete of asphalt and while grass may
appear to be acceptable, it may juicily turn to hard packed earth in areas
of high trafc. Shredded bark, wood chips, nd sand or ne gravel are
considered to be acceptable shock-absorbing surfaces when installed and
maintained at a sufcient depth under and around playground equipment.
Table 1 lists the maximum height from which a child would not be
expected to sustain a life-threatening head injury in a fall onto different
loose-ll surfacing materials if they are installed and maintained at depths
of 6, 9, and 12 inches. However, it should be recognized that all injuries
due to falls cannot be prevented no matter what surfacing material is used.
It is recommended that a shock-absorbing material should extend
a minimum of 6 ft. In all directions from the perimeter of stationary
equipment such as climbers and slides. However, because children may
deliberately jump from a moving swing, the shock absorbing material
should extend to the front and rear of a swing a minimum distance of 2
times height of pivot point measured from a point directly beneath the
pivot on the supporting structure.
This information is intended to assist in comparing the relative shock-
absorbing properties of various materials. No particular material is
recommended over another. However, each material is only effective when
maintained. Materials should be checked periodically and replenished to
maintain correct depth as determined necessary for your equipment. The
choice of a material depends on the type and height of the playground
equipment, the availability of the material in your area, and its cost.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY TIPS:
• Two adults in good physical condition are required for the following
assembly. Wear proper shoes. Failure to follow all instructions and
warnings exactly may result in serious injury.
• Keep children away from the swing during assembly.
• Keep ngers away from the ends of the rails in the connecting area.
• Take the Tree Glider out of the box and check the material. If the
material has any structural damage( weakness) such as bents or tears
on the net, stop use immediately.

Make sure all parts are present & place
them side by side for easy identification.
STEP 1
Find a healthy, strong hardwood tree that has a branch* that stretches at least 8
feet (2.4m) from its trunk and has a circumference** between 251/4to 100 inches
(64.1 to 254cm). The tree branch should be at least 8 feet (2.4m) from the ground.
The tree trunk should have a circumference of at least 251/4inches (64.1cm). The
tree and its branch should be strong enough to hold at least 200 lbs. (90.7 kgs.)***.
Clear the surrounding ground of debris prior to installing your swing. Make sure
the tree branch does not stretch: into a road, sidewalk, or street; over a
fence; someone else’s property; or any other obstacle.
*The tree branch must allow at least 12 inches (30.5cm) of clearance between the skateboard swing
& ground. The skateboard swing ropes are about 66 inches (167.6cm) in length.
**9-ft tree straps can only wrap around a tree branch of a max 100-inch (254cm) circumference.
Helpful hint: wrap tree straps around the tree branch for height adjusting purposes.
***Please note that the skateboard swing can only hold a person weighing up to 200 lbs.

• Conrm that the supporting structure (e.g. tree) is secure. You may
need to x the swing on two branches of a tree; if only a single
branch, the it should be at least a 37" circumference; swing set or
another strong xing point or frame.
• Inspect the Tree Glider, support structure and the hanging hardware
(hanging kit) for defects including but not limited to: unexpected
dents in the tubes; unwoven strands or excessive twisting in the tree
glider ropes; rust or tears in the hanging kit rotten or rusty supporting
structure; etc.
After reading all the safety information on this page and the rst
page, you may now start to assemble your tree glider
PIECES: Make sure all parts are present & place them side by side for easy identication
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Lay down all 4 sections of the support tubes and rope as illustrated
above (one small socket to one large socket. (Fig. 1)
2. Connect the small socket to the large socket rmly into each other
on all the 4 sections of the support tubes (Fig. 2).
3. Make sure that the last connection is placed in the exact position.
After all 4 joints are connected together; place the frame on
the oor and make any additional adjustments. Be aware: when
connecting the last joints avoid any injury by keeping ngers cleared
from the condition of small and large sockets.
4. Locate the allen wrench (hex wrench) and with the allen wrench
place a bolt in each hole at each connection of the frame and
tighten. Each connection of the support tube frame must have a
tightened bolt securing the frame together. Do not use the Tree
Glider if there is a bolt missing. (Fig. 3)
5. Check support tubes frame to make sure all connection have a hex
socket barrel bolts. Make sure the frame is strong and all the ropes
are untangled.
ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE ROPE:
1. If you want to adjust the height of the tree glider's rope: (Fig. 4)
• Shortening the height: Push (2) of the bottom rope through the S
ring then pull the top rope
• Lengthening the height: Push (2) of the top rope through the S
ring then pull the bottom rope.
HANGING KIT INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Find a support structure such as the ones mentioned in the "Before
Assembly" section on the rst page. Make sure the support
structure is at least 60" above the ground (Fig. 5)
2. Wrap each strap around the support structure. Distance each strap
the width of the Tree Glider Rope Loops when the perpendicular to
the ground (~40"). Thread the heavy-duty carabiner clip strap end
through the other end loop to secure straps. Attach the Tree Glider
Rope Loops to each heavy-duty carabiner clip. (Fig. 6)
Adjusting height: Remove the Tree Glider Rope Loops from the
heavy-duty carabiner clips. Wrap the straps around the support
structure until the Tree Glider is at least 2 feet of the ground.
