CEILING BASEPLATE INSTALLATION (or professional or competent handyperson)

 Step 1 Locate a beam minimum 4cm wide, and a site with 1 metre radius from any objects.

 Step2 Use base plate to mark holes in beam. Use 12mm bit to drill to 5cm depth into beam.

Step 3 Insert 4 bolts into holes, so metal sleeve is flush with beam. If beam can’t accommodate 4 bolts, 2 are sufficient.

 Step 4 Install base plate onto bolts, and tighten to secure bolt, sleeve, and plate into beam.

Step 5 Connect carabiner to plate, estimate appropriate length of swing, then thread carabiner through crochet neck. Adjust height according to your taste. Crochet height will drop slightly once ridden.
