We hear Amazon may be delivering products by ying drones soon, so we have sent our best carrier
pigeon along for the delivery to make sure it gets to you promptly.
In this document are the instructions to assemble your hanging seat and some safety information.
Please make sure you read it all the way through, as we want to make sure everything goes as
smoothly as possible.
Make sure to save these directions someplace that are easily accessible, just in case you need to
reference them again or want to punish your kids by making them read this (although we try hard to
not make generic, boring directions).

1. If you need to contact us about anything at all, you can email us here: [email protected]
2. Once you receive your seat and have had time to test it out, we’d love for you to leave us a review
on Amazon. It really helps us out along with potential customers looking to buy a seat.

How to Setup your Hanging Seat
Failure to properly follow installation instructions could lead to an unstable setup.

A Find a joist in your ceiling. If you have a stud nder, then you can use that to locate the joist.
If you don’t have a stud nder, here are some tips on nding a joist:
Here is what the joists in your ceiling look like:
In most modern houses, the joists are either 16 or 24 inches apart from each other. So from the edge of where
your wall meets your ceiling, measure out 16 inches and use your knuckle to knock on the ceiling. You are
trying to determine a hollow sound versus a solid sound.
If the knocking sounds solid, you’ve found a joist. If it sounds hollow, try to measure out 24 inches from the
edge of your ceiling and see if a joist is there. If it isn’t, you may need to try the other direction of your ceiling,
since joists only run in one direction.
Once you have located your rst joist, and you know if they are 16 or 24 inches apart, you’ll have an easy time
locating one in the area where you’d like to hang the seat.
B To install the ceiling hook, you’ll need to drill holes into the joist to put in the bolts. We provide four
5/16” lag bolts. Use the ceiling hook to measure where to drill the holes. Mark the holes with a pencil.
Note: Some joists may not be wide enough to t all four bolts. If that is the case, align at least two of
the bolts along the joist, these two bolts will sufce to support the seat.

C Drill into the joist where your pencil markings are. A 1/4” drill bit is recommended. Do this for each
hole.
D Clean out the hole using a brush, vacuum or blowing into it. It is very important that the drilled hole
is without debris for the bolt to hold properly. Make sure to cover your eyes or wear eye protection so
you don’t get dust into them. Do this for each hole.
E Align the ceiling hook up accordingly to the drilled holes. Push the bolt through the ceiling hook into
the drilled hole.
F Use a ratchet or socket wrench to tighten the bolt. The bolt should be ush with the hook and
ceiling. (See gure below for steps C-F)
GRepeat steps C - F for the other bolts.

A To connect the swing to the ceiling hook, we’ve provided you with a carabiner and a cam strap to
allow you to adjust the height as you need. First, loop the end of the cam strap through the carabiner
and the swing.
B Now, slide the end of the cam strap through the back side of the cam buckle. You will need to push
the cam lever to open up the teeth (knurling) of the cam buckle to slide it through easily.
C Now hook the carabiner to the ceiling hook. You will now have the swing hung up properly. You can
how use the cam buckle to adjust the height to the exact length you need.
We recommend only having the swing a couple inches above the ground. Just high enough for
it to swing freely, but close to the ground so your child has the easiest time possible getting in
and out.
