See How it is done

Always Pull Down Hard To Test

You will want to make sure the swing is installed securely. Do this by pulling down hard on each rope to ensure that the knot is not going to slip and it is tight.

Hang the Bench Higher

Hang the swing 6-8 inches higher than you want it to end up. Things will tighten up as it is pulled down.

Knot Next to Hardware

Putting the knot as close to the branch/hardware as possible will keep everything snug and secure.

Installation Using TREE STRAPS

There are a few ways you can use the tree straps.

3 Options for Installing Tree Straps

How high off the ground should I hang the bench swing?

Find a comfortable height so that the feet of the person primarily using the swing will be slightly off the ground when sitting on the bench. Remember - the rope will slightly stretch and settle as the knots tighten - hang about 4-6" higher than you'd like the final position to be.

How many tree straps do I need?

If you are hanging using tree straps we recommend 2 so that each side hangs from its own strap.

Can I leave my swing outside?

Yes! This swing is designed to be enjoyed outside.

How do I best care for my swing?

The best practice is to keep your swing clean by spraying it off with water or brushing off dirt. Regularly inspect your swing bench, ropes and mount for signs of wear. Best practice would be to reseal your swing every few years.
