CHOOSING THE SWING LOCATION
Use extreme care when selecting a location.
• Do not install home playground equipment over concrete, asphalt, packed earth, grass, carpet or any
other hard surfaces. A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury or death to the equipment user.
• Caution: We recommend a soft, grass area underneath that is clear of ALL obstacles: bushes, rocks, or
anything else that could cause injury. If the grass course becomes hard-packed over time, move course
to a softer location.
• It is also recommended that you place cushioning materials in and around your swing
• See Public Playground Safety Handbook: Visit: www.cpsc.gov//PageFiles/122149/325.pdf. for
specifications.
• The minimum clearance between swing seat and the ground surface shall not less than 8 in (200 mm)
• The minimum use zone for play equipment shall extend no less than 72 in (1.8 m) from all side of the
play structure
• Select a location that is easily viewed from your house to allow for supervision and observation.
• Do not setup rope over swimming pools, ponds, streams or rivers as drowning may result.
ATTACHING YOUR SWING
Choose a tree branch with an area clear of obstacles, debris or anything that could cause injury.
• YOU MUST select a healthy tree branch that is 10 in (25 cm) in diameter or 32 in (81 cm) in
circumference at the portion of the branch you are going to attach to.
• If you are unsure about the health of your selected tree branch, consult an arborist. Tip: One good
place start looking for an arborist Visit: http://www.isa-arbor.com/findanarborist/findanarborist.aspx
• Attach to a tree branch using 2 Tree Hangers (sold separately)
B4A.109 - 6 ft (1.8 m) or B4A.110 12 ft (3.7 m)
• Simply attach your Sky Hanger to your
Swing as shown using theocking carabiner
and top loop of the swing.
