Setup and Assembly
Follow these steps to assemble your Goplus tree swing. It is recommended to have two adults for assembly.
- Assemble the Frame: Connect the galvanized pipe sections to form the rectangular frame. Ensure the push-pin connectors snap securely into place.
- Insert Frame into Fabric: Slide the assembled frame sections into the fabric sleeves around the perimeter of the swing platform. Ensure the frame is fully inserted and the fabric is taut.
- Secure Ropes: Attach the hanging ropes to the designated points on the swing platform using the provided carabiners or by threading them through the reinforced loops.
- Choose Hanging Method: Decide on your preferred hanging method (1-point, 2-point, or 1-point with swivel joint) based on your tree branch or swing set structure.
- Install Hanging Straps: Securely attach the hanging straps to a sturdy, horizontal tree branch or swing set beam. Ensure the branch is healthy and strong enough to support the swing's weight capacity.
- Connect Swing to Straps: Use the carabiners to connect the swing's ropes to the hanging straps.
- Adjust Height: Adjust the length of the hanging ropes to achieve the desired swing height, typically between 40 inches and 71 inches from the ground. Ensure the swing is level.
- Final Check: Double-check all connections, knots, and straps to ensure they are secure before allowing anyone to use the swing.

Operating Instructions
Once the swing is securely installed and inspected, it is ready for use. Remember to always prioritize safety.
- Entering the Swing: Carefully step onto the platform. For younger children, adult assistance may be required.
- Sitting Position: Users can sit, lie down, or kneel on the platform. The foam-padded edges provide comfort and protection.
- Swinging Motion: Initiate a gentle swinging motion. Avoid excessive force or twisting that could strain the ropes or attachment points.
- Adjustable Height: The swing height can be adjusted between 40 and 71 inches to suit different users and preferences. Ensure adjustments are made by an adult and all connections are re-secured.
- Multiple Users: The large platform and high weight capacity allow for multiple children or adults to use the swing simultaneously, provided the total weight does not exceed 700 lbs.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life of your Goplus tree swing.
- Cleaning: Occasionally wipe the swing platform and frame with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the fabric or frame.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect all components, including ropes, straps, carabiners, and frame connections, for signs of wear, rust, or damage. Replace any worn or damaged parts immediately.
- Weather Protection: While the swing is waterproof, prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions (heavy rain, snow, intense sun) can reduce its lifespan. Consider bringing the swing indoors or covering it during harsh weather or extended periods of non-use.
- Storage: When not in use for long periods, especially during winter, disassemble the swing and store it in a dry, protected area to prevent damage.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Goplus tree swing, refer to the following common solutions:
- Swing is Uneven: Check the length of both hanging ropes and adjust them to ensure the platform is level. Verify that the attachment points on the tree or swing set are at the same height.
- Excessive Squeaking: Inspect all metal-to-metal contact points, especially the carabiners and swivel. Apply a small amount of lubricant if necessary.
- Swing Feels Unstable: Re-examine all assembly connections and ensure they are tightly secured. Confirm that the tree branch or swing set structure is stable and capable of supporting the swing's weight.
- Ropes Show Wear: If ropes show significant fraying or damage, discontinue use immediately and replace them with appropriate heavy-duty ropes.
If problems persist, please contact Goplus customer support for further assistance.
