For hanging, you should affix it to 2 hanging points such as using 2 tree straps and hanging from a sufficiently strong tree branch. Alternatively, you could hang from 2 hooks such as on a play set.
To hang from a tree, you should
- Choose a strong branch.
- Attach both tree straps so that the swing will move only forwards and backwards. If you use only 1 tree strap, the swing will spin.
- Adjust the ropes so the swing is at a safe height, to minimise fall risk.
- Check that the area below the swing is safe from dangerous objects (sticks, bicycles etc) or hard surfaces (cement etc).
- Test the set-up before handing it over to the kids.

Optional Accessories
Ceiling Anchor Plate Kit: Single
For use in concrete, brick or wood, this anchor plate kit is designed with ceilings in mind. It uses 4 sleeve anchor expansion bolts when used in concrete or brick, or 4 wood screws when used in wood for a sturdy hold. It then uses a carabiner and strap with 6 loops for selecting the desired hanging height.
The anchor plate is a good option when you want something more solid than a screw hook or tree strap, or when you need to install in concrete or brick (which some hooks won't allow). Setup is easy enough if you know how to use the expansion bolts or wood screws:
Installation in Concrete or Brick
The 4 expansion bolts (sleeve anchors) are specifically designed for use in concrete or brick.
- Mark out 4 holes positioned correctly for the anchor plate.
- Drill the holes with a hammer drill, with depth and width to fit the sleeve anchors inside.
- Clean the hole of dust using a vacuum, blower or brush.
- Position the anchor plate in place.
- Slide or tap the sleeve anchors in, then tighten the nuts sufficiently so that the sleeve expands, tightening itself in the hole.
For further instructions for installing in concrete or brick, see below:
Installation in Wood
Important: Do not use the expansion bolts in wood. It could split the wood, and will not be as strong as wood screws. Please only use the wood screws when installing in wood.
Now you have your anchor plate in place, so you can attach your strap by passing it through the metal ring, then passing it through itself. Now attach the carabiner at the desired height and attach the swing of your choice. Have an adult check the strength of the set-up before use.

How to install a sensory swing?
There are a few ways on how to install your sensory swing indoors:
Connect the hanging screw hook to the ceiling
- Connecting the hanging screw hooks
- Find a joist in your ceiling
It's much better if you have a stud finder tool so you can easily locate the joist.
What to do if you don't have a stud finder?
A quick tip: Knocking the ceiling. If your knocking sounds solid, then it must be one of your joists. If it's hollow it isn't. Try another direction of your ceiling. Majority of the joists only direct in one direction.
Now you've located the joist, you can start to locate anywhere from those joists you're planning to hang the sensory swing seat at.
3. Installing your sensory swing
Equipment you need:
- Drill
- Pencil
- Drill Bit
4. Draw the hole location
- Use the ceiling hanging kit to measure where you can drill the holes. Mark its holes with a pencil.
Please note: The majority of the joists are in different sizes so some are not wide enough to drill those four bolts.
Solution: Drill at least 2 blots along the joist. Sometimes, two bolts will be enough to support the seat.
- Using the drill, drill into the joist where the pencil markings are. Drill each hole.
- Clean out the drill using a vacuum, brush, or blowing into the bits. Always use a protective face shield, sunglasses to protect your eyes and not get dust in them.
- Insert the hook into the hole and screw the bolts through the ceiling hook.
- Tighten all the bolts using a screwdriver.
- Connect the carabiner to the sensory swing hook that’s already installed.
- If it’s too high from the ground, you can use a hanging chain kit to extend the seat lower to the floor.

- An ideal safety precaution for hanging sensory swing is to put a mat under the sensory swing in case the child falls so it'll not result in any serious injury to the user.
- It's a must that the distance from the ground should not be more than 35cm.
- All sensory swings are ideal for gentle swinging only and not for strong swinging.
