Assembly typically requires two persons and can be completed in approximately 20 minutes. Do not fully tighten bolts until all components are in place.

1. Attach Armrests: Secure the two armrests to the sides of the seat section using the provided bolts and nuts. Ensure the curved edges of the armrests are facing outwards for ergonomic comfort.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your porch swing, follow these maintenance tips:

• Cleaning: The well-coated surface is easy to clean. Wipe down with a damp cloth as needed to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the finish.
• Wood Care: While the swing features a durable finish, periodic inspection for wear and tear is recommended. Reapply a protective sealant or stain if the finish appears dull or worn to maintain its weather resistance.
• Hardware Check: Regularly inspect all bolts, nuts, and chain connections for tightness. Tighten any loose hardware to ensure stability and safety.
• Weather Protection: Although designed for outdoor use, covering the swing during extreme weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, prolonged direct sunlight) can extend its lifespan.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your VINGLI Porch Swing, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Creaking Noise: If the swing creaks during use, check all bolted connections and tighten them. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to moving metal parts if necessary.
• Unstable Swing: Ensure the overhead mounting points are secure and the chains are evenly adjusted. Verify all assembly bolts are tight.
• Wood Splitting/Cracking: While rare with proper care, extreme weather can affect wood. Apply wood filler and re-seal if minor cracks appear. For significant damage, contact customer support.
