Our swings, fittings and accessories are designed for private use only we do not cater for commercial enterprises or areas of public property. We can make recommendations upon these lines if required.
The swing is made to be as strong as possible but is still only designed to be used by children. We accept no responsibility for a swing if used by an adult.
Changes in weather can result in adverse problems associated with the swing and its use. Wet weather or freezing may make seats and chains slippery, the sun may increase the temperature of the chains to a level not comfortable for use. In freezing conditions a child could stick their tongue or lips to the metal parts of the swing. If you have doubts please do not allow use of the swing.
As wood is a natural product it is subject to the influence of the moisture content of air and the ground. In warm sunny periods wood will naturally dry and shrink, in wet conditions the opposite occurs; expanding slightly as it soaks the moisture. These stresses in timber can cause natural splits and cracks to occur which add to the rustic look of your swing frame, but in no way affect the strength or safety of the material. No guarantee can be given against this naturally occurring phenomenon. We also recommend that no open fire is lit close to the swing as the wooden poles may also burn.
The height of our swing fittings (with chains) can be altered after final fitting. However, to comply with current European Standards we recommend that you do not amend our measurements. The standards set (for the distance from the ground to the underside of a standard seat) are 400mm (minimum) to 600mm (maximum).
Whilst every effort is made by us to ensure safety and comfort we cannot legislate for misuse of our products once fitted. Your swing is fully insured against damage occurring due to faulty materials or any defective fitting on our part, but we do not cover for any other eventuality. We strongly urge that a responsible adult checks the swing for signs of wear at least once per calendar month, paying special attention to the fastenings/connections. If you should notice anything of which you are unsure please immediately stop any use of the swing and contact us for assistance.
Children must be taught the correct use of a swing. Twisting a swing or walking within a swings arc while the swing is in use can cause injury, as can swinging an empty seat or attempting to jump from a moving seat. Our traditional rustic wooden seat can cause injury if misused and we accept no responsibility in such circumstances. If you have any doubts about your child using this we also offer a plastic swing seat fitted with ropes for the same cost. It is also possible for a rope to degrade over time. These should be replaced if damage is spotted.
*If altering the colour of the swing in any way please test a small area before commencing to ensure the correct shade is achieved. The structural integrity of the swing will not be affected. We will not be held responsible for any alterations or changes made after fitting.
When such time arrives to dispose of your swing please do so responsibly. Timber and metals can be recycled and should be taken to a suitable waste facility.
