INSTALLATION AND USE:
Your cotton rope hanging chair is ready for use. No hanging hardware is included with this unit. May be hung from a sturdy tree
branch, patio, ceiling beam, or hanging chair stand. Top hanging point should be at least 80 inches from the ground. We recommend a
bowline knot (see illustration) when tying down end along with heavy, durable rope or cord.
Natural Effects of Weathering from Sun and Rain Exposure:
Any cotton, wood, and/or metal products will deteriorate over time with exposure to the elements. As a result, they should be regularly
inspected and replaced periodically to ensure safety. Keep chair out of direct sunlight and rain whenever possible. The more your
chair is subjected to direct sunlight and rain the sooner the following will occur:
 Ropes: Strength will be lost and may mildew if in kept in a shady damp area.
 Wood: Wood spreader bars on chair will become bleached and may turn gray. Varnish finish may wear off surface.
 O-Ring: There is a chance for excessive rust when consistently exposed to rain, moisture, or water.
Check before each use (Do not use if you find any of the following issues):
 Loose, frayed, weak, or untied ropes. Check ropes by pulling on them. If ropes are weak, the chair may be unsafe for further use.
 Check for fraying at possible wear points:
o Where the ropes pass through the wooden spreader.
o Around the metal ring.
o Where the ropes intersect in the body/chair.
 Cracks or weak areas in the wood.
Warnings:
 Maximum weight capacity is 275 lbs. NEVER exceed weight capacity, including the weight restrictions of hanging apparatus
(stand, hardware, ropes, etc.).
 Children should not use the chair without adult supervision.
 Always inspect the chair and ties carefully before each use.
 Examine the entire chair for wear to avoid accidents.
