INSTALLATION :
Locate a suitable sturdy place to hang your swing. The support can be a
ceiling joist, a sturdy limb, or a beam installed for the swing. Ready made stands
or instructions to build one are available, please inquire. If ceiling joists are not
exposed, locate one using a stud finder.They are usually 16 to 24 inches apart.
Once you find a suitable support, open the hanging kit and slip the closed end
of the ‘S’ hook onto the handle. Position the handle directly above the center of
your swing and drill two 3/16” starter holes. Secure with the two lag bolts. Use the
chain included in the hanging set to adjust the height of your swing. We find that
the swing is easiest to use when it hangs about 15” off the ground; low enough to
keep your feet on the floor.
MAINTENANCE :
The rope body of your Bent Oak Swing is hand woven. If the weave of the rope
body is pulled out of shape, you can brush or adjust it into shape with your hands.
To keep your bent oak swing in good condition, it is very important to consistantly
check the varnish for weather damage. The wood frame should be periodically
refinished using a high quality polyurethane varnish. For complete instructions
on refinishing your swing, please visit www.nagshead.com/care.asp, or give us a
call. To wash the rope seat, you can either leave the ropes attached to the chair
or remove them.
Before removing the ropes from the wooden bars, slide
guide ropes through the topmost and bottommost row of loops, and
tie them off.
You will need OxiClean or laundry detergent and a soft scrub brush.
To begin cleaning, wet the rope and apply the detergent. Additionally, you may
use a very mild bleach solution, but be sure to rinse the ropes thoroughly
afterwards. Take a handful of rope in each hand and rub the pieces together;
using the soft-bristled scrub brush to work on any stains. Once you’ve cleaned all
of the rope, rinse it thoroughly. If you have removed the rope from the chair,
arrange it on a flat surface to air-dry so that the rope does not stretch.
If you have any questions about maintaining your chair, please give us a call at
1-800-344-6433 or 252-441-6115
