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
Whisper
GLIDE for residents,
families, volunteers and staff.

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.
