4. Assembly Instructions

Assembly typically takes about 20 minutes with two people. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Unpack all components and lay them out on a clean, flat surface. Verify all parts against the package contents list.
2. Attach the wooden armrests to the pre-assembled seat and backrest sections using the provided hardware. Ensure the curved knee area of the seat is facing forward.
3. Securely fasten all screws and bolts. Important: Do not fully tighten screws until all components are loosely assembled. Once all parts are in place, tighten all fasteners firmly.
4. Attach the hanging chains to the designated points on the armrests and the underside of the seat using the loop-locked connections and carabiner design.
5. Hang the assembled swing from a sturdy support structure (e.g., a porch ceiling or a dedicated swing stand). Ensure the hanging hardware (not included) is rated for the swing's weight capacity and dynamic load.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life and appearance of your VINGLI porch swing.

• Cleaning: The swing features a well-coated surface, making it easy to clean. Wipe down the wooden surfaces with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap as needed. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Regular Inspection: Periodically check all nuts, bolts, and chain connections to ensure they remain tight and secure. Tighten any loose fasteners immediately.
• Weather Protection: While the swing is designed for outdoor use with a durable finish, prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, intense sun) can affect its lifespan. Consider covering the swing or storing it indoors during harsh weather.
• Wood Care: The swing is made from high-quality cedar. If the finish shows signs of wear over time, re-apply a suitable outdoor wood sealant or paint to protect the wood.
