INSTALLATION 

 

TREE LIMB ASSEMBLY:

• 

Test tree limb to ensure that it will hold the weight limit of 

200 lbs. safely.

• 

Form a small noose at one end of your rope and throw it 

over the tree limb.

• 

Run other end of rope through the noose you created and 

tighten firmly.

• 

Run the end of the rope through loop on the tire swing.

• 

Tie a minimum of TWO tight knots firmly. Bottom of 

swing should be no less than 8 inches from ground and 

no less than 6 feet on all sides from vertical elements. 

See 

Clearance Requirements.

SWING SET OR OTHER HORIZONTAL BEAM ASSEMBLY:

• 

Attach the tire swing to a swing set by removing one set of chains from an existing 

swing and attach the upper loop (above the PVC separator bar) to chain support hook 

on the underside of the swing set crossbar. Then close the hook. 

See horizontal beam 

assembly.

• 

Allow 6 ft. of clearance on each side of the swing from stationary objects or other 

swinging elements of any kind. Bottom of swing should be no less than 8 inches from 

the ground. 

See Clearance Requirements.

ADJUST SWING HEIGHT 

• 

Adjust swing hanging length so the seat is parallel with ground. Bottom of swing 

should be no more than 24 inches and no less than 8 inches from the ground. 

• 

Ensure that the swing hangs horizontal after adjustment of the ropes. 

• 

Never add extra length to chain or rope. The chains or ropes provided are the 

maximum length designed for the swinging element(s).

SELECTIVE PROTECTIVE SURFACING

One of the most important things you can do to reduce the likelihood of serious head 

injuries is to install shock-absorbing protective surfacing under and around your play 

equipment. The protective surfacing should be applied to a depth that is suitable for 

the equipment height in accordance with ASTM F1292. There are different types of 

surfacing to choose from; whichever product you select, follow these guidelines. 

NOTE—Do not install home playground equipment over concrete, asphalt, or any other 

hard surface. A fall onto a hard surface can result in serious injury to the equipment 

user. Grass and dirt are not considered protective surfacing because wear and 

environmental factors can reduce their shock absorbing effectiveness. Carpeting and 

thin mats are generally not adequate protective surfacing. Ground level equipment 

such as a sandbox, activity wall, playhouse or other equipment that has no elevated 

play surface-does not need any protective surfacing.

PLACEMENT: 

Proper placement and maintenance of protective surfacing is 

essential. Be sure to:
