•Use a water sealant on your beams to protect the wood and prevent
cracking and warping.
•Install the swing set only on a level surface.
•Never install the swing set on a hard surface such as tiles, concrete,
packed earth etc. Only install the swing set over a soft and proper
shock-absorbent material such as wood chips, mulch or shredded
rubber, of sufficient depth – between 9-12”. Dirt and grass, which are
the most prevalent surfaces under home playground equipment, do not
adequately protect children from serious head injuries.
•Do not install loose fill surfacing over hard surfaces such as concrete or
asphalt.
•The swing set should be placed at least 6ft from any surrounding
structures, and surface material should extend the full 6ft around the
swing set in all directions.
•Remove any tripping hazards, such as rocks, tree stumps, loose toys
etc. from the play area.
•Always anchor your swing set into the ground to prevent movement and
guarantee stability when the swing set is played on.
Carefully read the following instructions BEFORE using your Swingan
product. This information was meticulously put together for your safety
and to reduce risk of injury. Always keep the safety of your children in
mind as you build your set and as your children play on it.

●The swing set is designed to be used by children ages 4 and up. No
more than 4 persons should use the set at once, not more than one
person per swing.
●An adult should always supervise children using the swing set.
●Do not allow a child or adult to use the swing set if they have a physical
condition that hampers their ability to use the equipment properly.
●Teach children not to walk close to, in front, in between or behind
moving swings.
●Make sure your children know not to jump off a swing that is in motion.
●Teach children not to twist or loop the swing chains/ropes. This may
weaken the strength of the chain/rope.
●Teach children to only use each swing in the proper manner it is
intended for. Children should learn to sit in the centre of the swing, with
their full weight on the seat.
●Instruct children not to push empty seats – the swing may hit them on
the rebound, and may cause serious injury.
●All who use the swing set should dress appropriately e.g. avoiding loose
strings that could get caught in the swing chains.
●Take care when using the equipment after it has gotten wet, only allow
children on the swings when there is sufficient traction for them to be
safe.
●No one should use the equipment before you have checked that it is
assembled and anchored properly.

Check the swing equipment before each use, and perform maintenance
regularly. This includes, but is not limited to checking the swing set for
cracks, breaks, missing pieces, excess wear, loose connections,
decreased stability and for overall integrity.
●Carry out maintenance checks monthly or before the start of a usage
period, checking more regularly in seasons of high usage.

●Oil all moving steel parts
●Check water sealant and repaint areas of exposure. We recommend
sealing annually to keep your swing set looking brand new.
●Scan for rough areas that may need sanding
●Check that all accessories and parts are in proper working order

HOW TO BUILD YOUR SWING SET
ASSEMBLING THE A-FRAME
1. Measure the two 4”x4”x8’ beams to ensure that they
are the same length, adjusting as needed. Lay the two
beams on a level surface and slide the top ends into
the leg openings on the A-frame bracket. These are
the two shorter openings.
2. Secure the bracket to the beams using 4 lag bolts and
washers for each beam. Drive the bolts through the
beam, 2 on each side of each beam. (Pre-drilling holes
smaller than the bolts before screwing the bolts in may
allow easier securing with less risk of splintering the
wood.)
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other bracket, so you
now have two V-shaped leg frames.
In order to build this swing set you must purchase wooden beams. The A-frame brackets are
designed to be used with a 4x6 top beam and 4x4 support beams. To build the swing set
8ft depth and 7.8ft height.
Before building this swing set, check that you have a minimum space of 24ft by 20ft,
to ensure at least 6ft of space on each side of the set.

6” of the wood, at 90° angles to the beam. Drill a hole at each marked
spot.
PAGE 10
1. Place a washer on each end the drilled hole,
flush with the wood.
2. Slide the screw hanger through the first
washer, through the beam and through the
second washer.
3. Tighten the screw in place using the two
accompanying nuts, screwing them onto the
top of the screw hanger on the other side of
the beam.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 at each drilled hole and
swing hanger screw.
• Measure and mark the 120” top beam for placement of the swings.
Make the markings on the 4” surface of the beam. Mark each spot
where a swing hanger screw must be installed to hang a swing chain
on. See the diagram below for the measurements of how to place your
swings in accordance with safety requirements. Dotted lines indicate
where markings must be made.
