Assembly and care of your swing
Assembly will take looking at the details if you only want to do it once. The front and rear legs are different and the hanging bars are different lengths for front and back. Allen wrench is included and will be the only tool you should need. Having an extra pair of hands will make it a lot easier to assemble. Assemble on a level surface for a stable swing when finished.
Start with the top bar, insert legs, make sure the legs with holes on the bottom are on the back side for the leg connector bar attachment. Insert feet. Attach bar on each side to connect the front and back legs. The frame is now finished.
The bench will unfold and then attach an arm assembly on each end. Attach hanging arms to each arm assembly, make sure to follow the direction on which one is front and back, they are two different lengths. The springs hold the top of the bars together and they hang the swing into the holes in the top bar. If every thing is together properly, you are ready to take a break before putting up the canopy
It will take two people to hang the canopy, one on each end. While holding in place, attach a locking screw to each end of the canopy. This screw when loosened will allow you to change the angle of the canopy to chase the shade to keep you cool on those hot summer days.
Use only mild soap and water when cleaning this product. Do not use any harsh chemicals as they will damage your painted surfaces. Canopy can be replace if torn or damaged, just call customer service (866 602-1800) for details.
The great thing about this swing is that you do not have any cushions to store. The canopy should be stored during the winter months or taken off during high wind conditions, two screws to remove and your canopy is off.

What I think about this swing
I have a wooden 2 person swing in my back yard, it does not have an awning for shade during the day. The Mainstays 2 Seat Sling Swing with canopy from Walmart.com will give you more comfort and have a lot less maintenance than the swing I have. Having the sling seating will be comfortable without adding cushions, you will not have to worry about bringing cushions in when you are done outside. This is the material for most of the outdoor seating that I have and I have some that have been outside for almost 10 years with little or no work. I do store my chairs during the harsh winter months.
The low price, little care and comfortable long term sitting are all great features of this swing. I would recommend this swing if you only need seating for 2. For other swing options see more 2 person swings in my article here or if you have more butts, I have some 3 person swings in this article here.

Thank you for the excellent review! Summer is just around the corner and it is already starting to heat up here in Arizona. Just the other day it was 94’F. I am gonna need some more shade.
It is typical that these need some serious assembly skills but lucky for us the internet is full of useful information.
I really do like the price. $88 you can not beat that. The design looks for elegant and i think it would make a nice addition to anyone’s backyard.
Thank you for your post!
Justin,
I include the minor instructions on most of my reviews as some loose the paper work before they get put together. This is a really cheep, in price not in construction, 2 person swing. It will last as long as you take care of it.
John
Hey John, I appreciate you adding the weight capacity information. This swing, as any swing is meant for a deck or even a porch. I was reading an article somewhere and the guy was talking about gas grills. This would be a good addition to your outdoor living space. Then I came up with the idea for a “portable” enclosure for Winter months that could be installed and taken down in the warmer months so people could still enjoy their outdoor space in the Winter. Do you know of anything like that?
Great article!
Alan,
The winter enclosures may be something I want to look into. I know that there are some that have netting on them to keep bugs out, I will look and see if they have winter ones. The gas grills are somewhat out of my range of outdoor stuff. I do own several of them at this time, jsut not in my niche on this website.
John
These are sooooooo relaxing! Thank you so much for the how-to! And the best part is you included how to take care and maintain it. Excellent post. Keep it up!
Eric,
This is a cheap outdoor swing that you can move easily. Without proper care any piece of furniture will not last very long in the outdoor conditions.

Hi john,
thanks for the info.
I’m actually looking to buy a swing for my new porch that is being built, so this came right on time.
Is the price offered the average price for such a swing? I’m wondering if I should take this as my baseline when comparing prices.
Thanks
Ibo,
This swing is on the low side for prices of a outdoor swing, more of an entry level swing. Some go over $500, depending on the extras that come with it.
