Step 1:
Attach posts to the swing bases. The base pieces are shipped with short 4 X 4’s cut at 45 degree
angles already attached. Match the numbers written on one end of the post to the numbers on the
inside of the base and slide the 4 X 4 into place in the base. You may have to separate the short 4
X 4’s that are already attached to the base slightly so that the frame support will slide into the
base as shown.
Attach the base to the frame support using carriage bolts provided. All the wood parts have pre-
drilled holes. When choosing a carriage bolt for a particular part, make sure to use the bolt that fits
correctly. If the bolt has an extra inch or so protruding when you are finished, you probably used
the wrong length bolt. Whenever you are using carriage bolts in the assembly of this swing,
please carefully follow these guidelines to avoid weakening or damaging your set. Tap in the
carriage bolts all the way into the wood so that it is “set” into the wood. Then insert the washer
and nut and tighten lightly with a ½- inch ratchet. The bolts should tap into their holes. If you have
to force a bolt, the piece is probably on the wrong side, is not aligned properly or is turned around.
Do not over tighten or you’ll crush the redwood and weaken the swing’s strength. Repeat this step
with the other post and swing base for the other side.
Step 2:
Attach the top support to the two completed base/post structures to complete the swing frame
structure. Line up the two predrilled holes on one side of the top support to the numbers written on
the corresponding post. Attach with 2 carriage bolts (3 ½” x 5/16”), washers and nuts. Repeat for
the other post on the other side.

Step 3:
Attach diagonal supports to post and top support. These supports have one predrilled hole near
both edges. Match up the numbers and attach using carriage bolts, washers and nuts.
Step 4:
Attach arms to swing seat with 4 bolts (3 ½” x 5/16), washers and nuts per side.

Step 5:
Add the chain to the swing seat. Add the hardware provided to thread the eyebolts as shown
below. Take a few minutes to adjust the chain height to your preference. We recommend you do
not cut off the excess chain because you may want to readjust the heights later.
Once you have the swing adjusted just the way you want it, attach the springs provided. The
springs are attached to the hangers. Shorten the chain to account for the springs. The springs
give the swing a bit of give when you sit in it. This makes the swing’s movement softer and more
enjoyable (and playful!).
