When sitting in the swing, your feet should touch the
ground with knees slightly bent. Note: The first time you
hang the swing, it may seem too high off the ground,
however; the ropes will stretch, bringing the swing to a
more comfortable level. Simply
adjust the chain to put your swing
at the desired height.
6. The design of this swing provides
ample room for push-out” seating.
After seated in the swing, the user
can place his or her feet at the edge
of the swing front and “push-out.”
The roomy design of the front of the
swing will provide a comfortable
rest for the legs.

- Not recommended for use by
children without adult supervision.
- Your swing is not built to hold more
than one person at a time.
- Your swing is not designed for high, rough swinging or
twisting movements.
- Do not allow the chain to twist as the strength of the
