INSTALLATION :
Install the ceiling hooks in the overhead support. The hooks should be approxi-
mately 5 feet apart. The supports can be ceiling joists, a sturdy limb, or a beam
installed for the swing. Ready made stands or instructions to build one are avail-
able, please inquire. If the ceiling joists are not exposed, locate one using a stud
nder. They are usually 16 to 24 inches apart. Once you nd a suitable support,
drill a 3/16” starter hole to screw the ceiling hooks into and tighten until the
shank is no longer visable. Do not adjust the chains as they are properly connect-
ed and able to withstand approximately 500 lbs. of weight. We have replacement
chain sets available for sale if replacement needed.
MAINTENANCE :
The rope body of your Bent Oak Rocker is hand woven. If the weave of the rope
body is pulled out of shape, you can brush or adjust it into shape with your hands.
To keep your bent oak swing in good condition, it is very important to consistantly
check the varnish for weather damage. The wood frame should be periodically
renished using a high quality polyurethane varnish. For complete instructions
on renishing your swing, please visit www.nagshead.com/care.asp, or give us a
call. To wash the rope seat, you can either leave the ropes attached to the chair
or remove them. Before removing the ropes from the wooden bars, slide
guide ropes through the topmost and bottommost row of loops, and
tie them o. You will need OxiClean or laundry detergent and a soft scrub brush.
To begin cleaning, wet the rope and apply the detergent. Additionally, you may
use a very mild bleach solution, but be sure to rinse the ropes thoroughly after-
wards. Take a handful of rope in each hand and rub the pieces together; using the
soft-bristled scrub brush to work on any stains. Once you’ve cleaned all of the
rope, rinse it thoroughly. If you have removed the rope from the chair, arrange it
on a at surface to air-dry so that the rope does not stretch.
If you have any questions about maintaining your chair, please give us a call at
1-800-344-6433 or 252-441-6115

Tips for Assembly :
Tip 1: Do not tighten bolts completely until fully assembled
Tip 2: For a more uniform look, face all bolts in the same direction
ASSEMBLY :
Step 2 : Take a loose bar and insert a 4” hex head bolt through a washer before
pushing it through one of the holes at the end of the bar . Position this bar in-
side of the arm unit, put the end of the bolt in the hole, and then push the loose
bar ush with the arm unit before pushing the bolt through. Take a second loose
bar and attach it to the underside of the arm unit where the bolt is sticking out.
Attach with washer, lockwasher, and nut (See SIDE VIEW diagram). Repeat on the
other side.
Step 3 : Take the laminated rail (“J”-Piece) and place it half way between the arm
units. Position the end to t between the two loose bars at the front of the swing.
Line up the holes and connect the three pieces together with a 4” hex head bolt,
secure on the other side with a washer, lockwasher, and nut.
Step 4 : Take the remaining loose bar and attach it to the lowest set of holes at
the top of the arm units and center “J” piece, using 2.5” carriage bolts. Secure
with washers, lockwashers, and nuts.
Step 5 : Arrange the chain sets so that the long piece faces the front of the
swing, and the short piece faces the back. Be sure chains are completely untwist-
ed.
Step 6 : Attach ‘top’ bar of the roll-up directly above the loose bar at the top of
the swing using the eyebolt found on the ‘short’ chain piece. The wooden strip
with brass tacks should face the back of the swing. (See sideview diagram).
Step 7 : Attach the ‘bottom’ bar of the roll up unit to the front of the swing using
the eyebolt on the ‘long’ chain piece (See sideview diagram). Attach the center of
the ‘J’ piece to the bottom of the roll-up unit with a 2.5” carriage bolt.
Step 8: Push the remaining 2.5” carriage bolt through the middle of the top roll-
up piece and ‘J’ piece. Secure with a washer, lockwasher, and nut.
Step 9: Look underneath the table top - the end with the metal plate faces front.
Align the holes in the back of the table assembly with the hole in the side of the
‘J’ piece. Place the 4.5” hex head bolt through a washer before pushing through
the wood. Secure with a washer, lockwasher, and nut.
Step 10: Lift the center table up and turn the metal piece so it points downward.
Drop the table top and align the metal plate with the hole in side of the ‘J’ piece.
Attach with a 2.25” hex head bolt. Note: The bolt will t snugly through the
metal plate. Secure with washer and nut.
Step 11: Tighten all nuts.
