Welcome to Hogan Tree Swings!
As you look at the information below, don't miss what separates these swings from all the rest.
SUPERIOR PROTECTIVE SEALANT.
Our four coats of marine varnish far outlast other sealants, which need to be reapplied once or twice each year.

THE SWING: DOUBLE-ROPE TREE SWING
Each face is sanded smooth, with every edge rounded and hand-sanded.
Duramax exterior paint is hand brushed onto the painted boards. A light distressing is given to bring out some of the beauty of the wood, and then three coats of outdoor sealant (satin marine varnish) are applied for added protection from the elements. This combination provides excellent, long-lasting protection.
The natural and charred swings receive four coats of varnish.
Two 5/8” proManila ropes are eye-spliced to each side of the seat for maximum strength and security. When you choose the rope length in the drop-down box, this amount of rope is attached to each side.

THE ROPE
Natural Manila: natural fibers; pleasing esthetics; hold up well against UV rays; usually break down quicker over time (due to moisture) than synthetic rope; 330-pound safe work load This beautiful natural rope is great for a child's swing. It, however, does not last as long as synthetic rope. If you prefer to have synthetic Promanila rope, use the link below to visit my shop. This swing and others are available with the longer-lasting synthetic rope. HTTPS://WWW.ETSY.COM/SHOP/HOGANTREESWINGS/

HANGING THE SWING
To find the correct length, measure the distance from tree limb to where the seat will hang and add the circumference of the limb. I will add 2' extra to give you plenty to work with for your knots. A commonly used knot for hanging swings is the running bowline knot. A link to instructions for this knot will be included with your swing. No hardware is needed to hang your swing. If you prefer hardware, you will need to purchase it yourself. The running bowline knot can be tied around a tree limb, around a beam, through an eye bolt, through a carabiner, etc.

RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE
Maintenance, similar to that needed for other outdoor wood structures, will greatly extend the life of your swing. Reapplying new outdoor sealant when needed will go a long way in keeping
the wood from weathering. While this exterior paint and marine varnish are expected to provide great protection for several years, they will not offer unlimited protection from the elements. If you see that the sealant is breaking down, you may give it a light sanding and add new varnish. Applying with a poly foam brush works great.
