ACCESSIBILITY

Look for a location which will maximize the opportunities

for the greatest number of residents.

This will have a considerable impact on the use of your

Whisper

GLIDE swing(s).

• A visible location will help generate interest from 

residents, volunteers, and visitors. Consider a location

that is near “high traffic” areas of your facility.

• If you are placing a swing outdoors, a location that is

near an easy-access door may facilitate the desire to

use the swing.

ATTRACTIVE LOCATION

Flowers, fountains, trees, and gardens can enhance the

overall enjoyment of the

SURFACE REQUIREMENTS

The surface should be made of cement (concrete),
brick, patio blocks or wood.

It must be hard for 

anchoring the swing legs and lock-up receptacles 

(via hardened cement screws included with the swing).

Check your local building codes regarding aspects such

as thickness of the cement, subsurface underlayment

(such as gravel, sand, limestone), etc.

The surface must be level.

This ensures proper,

smooth swinging action. Placing the swing on a surface

that is not level may cause structural damage to your

swing and will void your warranty.

INDOOR PLACEMENT CONSIDERATIONS

Space requirements for indoors are the same as 

outdoors. Other points to consider:

• Ensure you have proper distance from any 

sprinklers (check with fire marshal, if necessary).

• If desired you can move the swing at a later date.

You will see some small holes, where the swing legs and

lock-up receptacles were anchored. Fill in these holes.
