M-100 5’ Lawn Swing Assembly Instructions
NOTE: Please check contents and read directions carefully before assembly. If any items are
missing or damaged, do not take the product back to the store. Call Moon Valley customer
service at 313-766-4950 and we will correct the problem as promptly and as efficiently as
possible. Also, checking or cracking of the logs is a natural part of the drying aspect of cedar.
This does not affect the structural integrity of the wood. This natural occurrence enhances the
rustic beauty of the product.

the rear of arm assemblies (F). Tap arms into place with rubber
mallet or hammer.
Step 3: Place the back at an
angle comfortable for the user

Step 4: Attach swing hangers (G) to arm assemblies (F) using 5”
lag bolts. Align pre-drilled holes on swing hanger (G) and
fasten at 11 ½” in from front of arm rest and 12 ¾” in from front
of lower arm rest(F).
Step 5: Install 2” screw where all doweled ends were inserted,
securing seat (A) (pictured) and seat back (B) to arm assemblies
(F).
Step 6: Lay swing legs (C) and top pole (D) on ground, with
swing hooks facing downward. Using pre-drilled holes, install 7
½” machine bolts through legs (C) and top pole (D), using a
5/16” washer at each end of the bolt. Tighten only with fingers
at this point.
Step 7: From machine bolt, measure 32” down swing leg (C).
At this location, use 4” lag bolts to secure two of the 35” braces
(E) to swing legs (C). Use ¼” washers when installing each 4”
lag bolt on frame (12 total).
Step 8: Stand frame upright and tighten 7 ½” machine bolts only
enough to allow frame to stand freely. Measure 24” down from
top of swing leg (C), and 24” out from end of top pole (D). At
these points, use 4” lag bolts to secure the remaining four 35”
braces (E) to the swing (as shown in these two photos). Now,
tighten 7 ½’ machine bolts firmly.

Step 9: Make certain that swing hooks (on top pole) open
outward (these should be checked periodically for looseness or
wear). Hang swing seat onto these hooks and assembly is
complete. Note: if you have extra hardware left over after
assembly, these may be a problem and your swing may not be
safe to use. Double-check directions to ensure that all
hardware is installed correctly and tightened. If the problem
persists, please call Moon Valley customer service at 313-766-
4950.

Moon Valley Furniture Care, Maintenance & Warranty Sheet
Stained Furniture
Moon Valley’s linseed oil-based stain has a uniform color consistency, seals out moisture, protects against
mildew and blocks the damaging effects of ultra-violet light. It also penetrates the wood in order to help
prevent discoloration. In order to maintain the stained items, it is recommended to wash and dry the areas
then re-apply a coat of stain. Moon Valley supplies their stain in quart cans which can be purchased from
your local dealer.
Varnished Furniture
Varnished Moon Valley furniture is dipped piece by piece in a sealer that provides uniform color consistency,
seals out moisture, protects against mildew and blocks the damaging effects of ultra-violet light. It is then
topped off with 2 coats of marine spar varnish for a glossy look. This varnish is specially formulated for
outdoor use and should be maintained once a year. To do this, lightly sand the item using a medium-grit
sandpaper (100 to 120-grit) or steel wool. Be sure that the surface is clean and completely dry before
beginning the process. Next, apply a coat of the new varnish, usually by brushing. Let dry as needed and
repeat again for extra protection against weathering. Moon Valley supplies their varnish in quart cans which
can be purchased from your local dealer.
Unfinished Furniture
Moon Valley products are made from white cedar. Cedar is naturally more resistant to weather decay and
insect damage than other types of wood, so you can simply leave it as is. Over time, it will turn a silvery-gray
color which gives it a rustic, aged look. However, there are finishing options such as using a water sealer,
varnish, stain, or paint based on customer preference. Before undertaking any of these options, please refer to
our website for suggested finishing steps.
Cracking or Checking of the Logs
You may notice some cracking or checking of the logs on your furniture, which is completely natural and
necessary for cedar left in log form. This does not compromise the integrity or strength of the product in any
way. Many times, it enhances the natural rustic beauty of the furniture. For more information on cracking
and checking, please visit our website (www.moonvalleyrustic.com).
Winter Storage
If it is not possible for you to store the furniture indoors for the winter, simply stand or lean your picnic table
(preferably on blocks) against your house or garage. This will help lessen the effects of weathering by not
allowing snow or water to accumulate on the flat surfaces of the furniture. Do not cover with plastic or place
the table upside down on the ground, as this will trap moisture against surfaces and cause damage. If you
choose to cover the furniture, be sure that the cover is breathable and allows for proper air ventilation.
Safety
Although your furniture has been constructed for greater strength and stability, it should be checked
periodically for looseness or wear. Regularly inspect joints, bolts, and hooks and hardware if necessary.
These items can purchased from your local dealer, or by using the below contact information.
