STEP 4.
Repeat STEP 2 and STEP 3 to attach the other
Curved Oak Arm on the opposite side of the swing.
STEP 5.
To attach the hanging cables, first place a Washer
on the eye bolt end of the shorter section of one Hang-
ing Cable Assembly, then insert the end of the eye bolt
through the outside hole on one Oak Top Stick. On the
protruding end of the eye bolt, add first a Washer and then
a Nut (
FIGURE 4
). Tighten with your 9/16” wrench or socket,
or adjustable wrench, but do not over-tighten.
STEP 6.
On that same Hanging-Cable Assembly from STEP 5,
place a Washer on the eye bolt end of the longer section
of chain, then insert the eye bolt through the outside hole
on the Oak Bottom Stick on the same side of the swing; this
hole is drilled through the narrow side of the stick. On the
protruding end of the eye bolt, add first a Washer and then
a Nut
(
FIGURE 3, on previous page
).
Tighten with your 9/16”
wrench or socket, or adjustable wrench, but do not over-
tighten.
STEP 7.
Repeat STEP 5 and STEP 6 to attach the other Hang-
ing-Cable Assembly
on the opposite side of the swing
.
STEP 8.
Take the remaining two Carriage Bolts (size 1¼” x
3/8”) and fit them (from front to back) through each of the
two remaining holes on the Curved Oak Arms. Add first a
Washer and then a Nut to the protruding end of each bolt,
then tighten with your 9/16” wrench or socket, or adjust-
able wrench, but do not over-tighten. These two bolts are
not structurally important; they are included for appear-
ance only.
STEP 9.
Hang your swing
BEFORE
you fully tighten all the Car-
riage Bolts.
HANGING FROM A WOOD BEAM
STEP 1.
Choose a hanging location for your swing 6½-8½
feet above ground/floor level that will safely support 450
pounds.
Note that hanging it much higher will require ad-
ditional hardware not included with the swing.
Tree Hooks should ONLY be used with wood, and are NOT
intended for use with concrete or steel surfaces, plastic
construction, particle board or other composite material,
or vinyl siding.
For any other surface but wood, consult a
building expert for advice on proper installation, including
questions about weight capacity of a potential surface,
and additional hardware that might be required. Hatteras
Hammocks is not responsible for improper installation.
STEP 2.
Choose wood AT LEAST 6 inches in diameter that’s
strong, and free of knots, cracks and rot. Wood types such
as willow, white pine, spruce, palm and beech are soft,
and may not support your swing when in use; hardwoods
such as oak, hickory, etc., are far better choices.
STEP 3.
Drill a 1/8 inch-3/16 inch pilot hole (the smaller the
better). Start the Tree Hook in the hole; grip the hook eye
with a wrench or thread the eye with a screwdriver, using
your chosen tool to twist the screw-end all the way in. Stop
when the eye makes contact with wood; over-twisting can
damage the metal and weaken support.
STEP 4.
Hook the loops at the end of each Hanging-Cable
Assembly to one of the Tree Hooks.
STEP 5.
When sitting in your swing, your feet should touch
the ground with your knees slightly bent. If your swing is
hanging a little too high, use the two Extension Chains
to lower it slightly. Fit the same loop of chain onto each
installed Tree Hook, then attach an S-Hook to each bottom
length of chain and fit the loops of each Hanging-Cable
Assembly onto one of those S-Hooks. You can further adjust
the height of your swing by changing the chain lengths.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Crafted of the highest quality outdoor fabric, your Deluxe
Cushioned Double Swing is weather-durable and fade-
and stain-resistant. However, it’s still advisable, for the long-
term life of the swing, to bring it indoors during extreme
weather conditions, or extended periods of wet weather.
Periodically cleaning the cushion fabric will likewise help
ensure your swing’s longest possible life. Wash the fabric
briskly with a mild solution of dishwashing soap and warm
water, rinse thoroughly and allow to air-dry. For stubborn
stains, scrub with a soft brush, using a mild bleach-and-
water solution, again rinsing thoroughly and allowing the
fabric to air-dry before re-hanging, or storing, your swing.
