STEP 4. Repeat STEP 2 and STEP 3 to attach 

the other 

Curved Oak Arm.
STEP 5. To attach the hanging chains, first place a Washer 

on 

the eye bolt end of the shorter section of one Chain 

and Ring 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 adjust-

able wrench, but do not over-tighten.
STEP 6. On that same Chain and Ring 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 
eye bolt’s protruding end, add first a Washer and then a 
Nut 

(

FIGURE 3, 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 other Chain and 

Ring Assembly.
STEP 8. Take the remaining two Carriage Bolts (size 1¼” x 

3/8”) and fit them (from front to back) through each re-
maining hole on the Curved Oak Arms. Add first a Washer 
and then a Nut, then tighten with your 9/16” wrench or 
socket, or adjustable wrench, but do not over-tighten. 
These bolts are for appearance only.
STEP 9. Slide each hole of the Oak Spreader Bar over one 

free length of chain on the Chain and Ring Assembly, until 
the wood rests atop an O-ring.
STEP 10. Fully tighten all the Carriage Bolts only AFTER you 

have already hung your swing.

HANGING FROM A WOODEN BEAM

STEP 1. Choose a hanging location 6½-8½ feet above 

ground/floor level that will safely support 350 pounds. The 
hanging beam should be wood, though 

NOT spruce or 

white pine, that’s free of knots, cracks and rot.

NOTE: The hanging bracket should ONLY be used with 

wood; it’s NOT safe or approved for use with concrete 

or steel surfaces, plastic construction, particle board or 

other composite material, or vinyl siding. For installing in 

any other surface but wood, consult a building expert for 
advice on proper installation, including questions about 
weight capacity of a potential installation surface. 

Hatteras 

Hammocks® is not responsible for improper installation.
STEP 2.
 Position the hanging bracket along the center of 

the wooden beam you’ve chosen for hanging your swing. 
Mark drill holes on the beam using a pencil through the 
bracket’s two bolt holes.
STEP 3. Drill approximately 2½ inches deep at the spots you 

marked through the bracket bolt holes.

STEP 4. Fit the S-hook onto the hang-

ing bracket 

BEFORE bracket installa-

tion; the S-hook will 

NOT fit onto the 

bracket once the bracket is installed.  
Next, position bracket holes over drill 
holes, and install the two 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 both free links of swing chain to the bottom of 

the S-Hook. Adjust swing height by changing the length of 
the hanging chains.

FINAL INSTALLATION ADJUSTMENTS

Before using your new swing, make sure it’s hanging 
squarely; differing numbers of chain lengths on each side 
can cause the swing to hang unevenly.
When sitting in the swing, your feet should touch the 
ground with your knees slightly bent, for maximum comfort 
and safety. Adjust the height of your swing to your tastes by 
changing the chain lengths.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Your Hatteras Hammocks® Single Swing With Oak Arms, 
crafted of the highest quality outdoor fabric available, is 
made to be weather-durable and resistant to both fading 
and staining. However, in order to keep your swing in the 
best condition for the longest possible time, it’s nonetheless 
advisable to bring it indoors during extreme weather condi-
tions, or extended periods of wet weather.
Periodic cleaning of the fabric will likewise help ensure 
its longest possible life. Wash the fabric briskly with a mild 
solution of liquid dishwashing soap and warm water, rinse 
thoroughly with clean water and then 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.
