Use and Care Manual

Weight limit: 350 pounds
Cushioned Single Swing
INSTALLING FROM A WOOD BEAM
STEP 1. Choose a hanging location that’s 6½-8½ feet
above ground/floor level; hanging much higher will require
additional hardware not included with this swing. Be sure
you have at least 3 feet of open space in front and behind
where your swing will hang.
Ideally, you should hang your swing from a ceiling joist (a
ceiling’s support beams, typically set 16-24 inches apart).
The joist should be a board of 2” x 6” or larger, and must
be able to safely support 350 pounds. If you’re unsure how
much weight your ceiling joists will tolerate, or if no joist is in
line with where you want to hang your swing, consult
an experienced carpenter for help with installation.
Use a quality stud finder to locate joists for you, and to
determine the middle of the joist beam you select; you’ll
want to install hanging hardware as close to the middle of
the beam as possible
. DO NOT attempt to hang your swing
from the ceiling covering itself (which is
often just plywood or bead board).
If you don’t have joists that will safely
support 350 pounds, consider purchas-
ing a free-standing swing stand.
STEP 2. Position the hanging bracket included with your
swing along the center of your chosen joist/beam. Mark
your drill holes on the beam using a pencil through the
bracket’s two bolt holes.
The hanging bracket should ONLY be used with wood; it’s
NOT safe or approved for use with other surfaces. For install-
ing in any other surface besides wood, consult a home-im-
provement specialist. Hatteras Hammocks is not responsible
for improper installation.
STEP 3. Drill approximately 2½ inches deep at the spots
marked through the bolt holes.
STEP 4. Fit the S-Hook onto the hanging bracket BEFORE
bracket installation; the S-Hook will NOT fit onto the bracket
once the bracket is installed. Next, position the bracket
holes over the drill holes, and install the two lag bolts by
hand. Tighten the bolts with a 7/16” wrench or socket, or
adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten, as bolts can strip
the wood, compromising the swing’s weight capacity.
STEP 5. Hook a link of the swing’s hanging chain to the
bottom of the S-Hook. When sitting in the swing, your feet
should touch the ground with your knees slightly bent; fine-
adjust swing height by changing the number of chain links.
Swing ropes will naturally stretch during initial use, so you
may have to tweak the hanging height more than once.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Crafted of the highest quality outdoor fabric, your Single
Cushioned Swing is made to be weather-durable and
fade- and stain-resistant. However, If this swing is to hang
in an unprotected area, it’s still advisable to bring it indoors
during extreme weather conditions, or extended periods of
wet weather.
Periodic fabric cleaning will likewise help ensure this swing’s
longest possible life. Wash the fabric briskly with a mild solu-
tion of liquid dishwashing soap and warm water, rinse the
cushion thoroughly with clean water and allow the fabric
to air-dry. For stubborn stains or to remove suntan oil, use a
soft brush for scrubbing, or even a mild bleach-and-water
solution, again rinsing thoroughly and then allowing the
fabric to air-dry before re-hanging your swing, or storing it.
