CHOOSING THE SITE:
• Do not install home playground equipment over concrete, asphalt, packed earth, grass, carpet, or any other hard
surface. A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury or death to the equipment user. Due to the variety of
swing sets and places that this product can be suspended, we must urge caution when attaching the swing to your
structure.
• Protective surfacing under swings is recommended. “To and Fro” swings should have a fall zone extending a
minimum of 6 ft (2 m) from the outer edge of the support structure on each side. The “fall zone” in front and back of
the swing should extend out a minimum distance of twice the height of the swing as measured from the ground to
the top of the swing support structure. Swings should have a minimum of 8 in (20 cm) between them. (ASTM
F-1148-18) The bottom of a swing should not be less than 8 in (20 cm) above the protective surfacing material.
SURFACES:
Maximum fall height is 84 in (213 cm), playground surface material should be 8.9 in (23 cm). See
“Outdoor Home Playground Safety Handbook” from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
SUPPORT STRUCTURES:
Be certain that the overhead structure can support at least 500 lb (227 kg). If attaching
to a tree limb, make sure the tree is alive and healthy. Recommended diameter of tree limb is 10 in (25 cm) Before
anyone uses the swing, a stress/weight test should be performed (see step 3).
ATTACHING THE SKY SWING:
• Use the carabiners included with your product to attach the rope to your structure.
Other suitable hardware (ie.
chain, links or fasteners) may be needed (not included).
• Attach the swing to your structure at 6-24 in(15-60 cm) off the ground.
• 2 Point attachment will swing in a lateral motion perpendicular to the support structure.
• 1 Point attachment will swing in a circular motion in any direction.
•ADJUSTING HEIGHT:
Your swing has adjustable S-hooks that allow you to adjust the hanging height of the swing.
Recommended swing height is 12-18 in (30-45 cm) above the ground depending on the height of the rider.
MANDATORY LOAD STRESS TEST:
• First check all connections
• Have 2 Adults, whose combined weight is apx. 300 lb (136 kg), pull down together on the swing.
CAUTION:
make sure they are in a safe position in case the branch or structure should come down. Gradually have
them apply all their combined weight. During this process, check for breaking or cracking.
