Having a Zero Gravity Double Swing in your outdoor space that you can share with your favorite person will make you a place that friends will like to come to. This swing is very similar to the Big and Tall dual swing that I wrote about last year, see my post here for information on the older Big and Tall swing. I will give you the information on the new for 2019 Mainstays Big and Tall Zero Gravity Double swing in this article.
Those who have a zero gravity chair will know that this swing will be a great addition to any outdoor space. Your chair can be taken anywhere the swing will be something that stays in your outdoor space at home. I have a regular swing that is a place to stop and let the world go by and not think about problems for a while. This swing will make you want to just lay back and not get up for hours.
Now let us look at some of the details of this swing and see if it will work for you.
Zero Gravity Double Swing
Price when the article was written: $251.15
What do you get in the box?
In the large box, 90 inches long, 31 inches wide, and 7 inches thick, you will get many pieces. I would recommend getting a friend to help with getting the box home and assembly. You can have a few of your favorite adult beverages after this Swing is put together and store them in the center storage container, you will not have to get up to refuel.
The Swing will have two zero gravity chairs mounted to a swing base that is hanging from an A-frame with springs for support. A sling fabric canopy will give you shade during the sunniest days. Sling fabric is available in three colors, Red, Camouflage, or Tan, with the shade, seat, and center storage container matching in color.
A center storage container will have a fabric storage container that will have a hinged lid. The lid will have cup holders and a tray for snack storage. You will not have to get up very often, you may just live in this swing during the summer.
Each chair will recline by itself, reclining the chairs will be a simple push back, a locking tab will keep your chair in place. The sling fabric for the chairs is attached to the chair frames with a paracord type of material in a woven pattern. A pillow-like headrest will top each chair back for extra head comfort while sitting.
The A-frame base for the swing is quite large at 72 inches wide, 50 inches deep and the top of the canopy at 90 inches. Each seat will be 22 inches wide and support a large 350 pounds.
Assembly of your swing
Assembly of your swing may take a little time and you should have an extra set of hands for easier handling of the big pieces. All tools that are needed will be included in the hardware pack.
The first step is to attach the top of the legs together to make sure the legs are in the proper place as the back legs have extra holes for the crossbar towards the bottom. Then place the top bar in the top of the legs. This will give you the frame for the swing, you will need to add the lower leg support next, then the back leg support.
Add the feet to the legs next. Do a final tightening of all hardware after the parts have been all put together on a level surface, this will give the best results. A single screw on each side will hold the canopy adjuster in place on the top of each leg assembly.
Add the center storage container to the seat frame. Add side support arms to the seat frame. Add each swing to the frame, then add hanging arms to each end of the frame. Springs are used between the top cross-frame and hanging arms for added seating comfort.
The final assembly will be adding the canopy to the top of the swing by adding the sling material to the frame. The top will be attached with a screw that has a big T-type handle that makes it easy to adjust the angle of the canopy to chaise shade. Canopy will lock into place with the teeth that lock into holes.
Now it is time to enjoy your Zero Gravity Double Swing.
Care of your swing
Care of you Swing will be just a simple mixture of mild soap and water. The fabric is made of one of my favorite materials, a resin sling fabric. This Fabric lasts very well in outdoor conditions.
Nothing to store with this swing, you will just have to make sure that you don't leave any foodstuff in the center storage box for little animals to chew on. This will be a big problem if you live in an area that has a lot of outdoor pests.

What are my final thoughts on this double swing?
This swing would be a great place to spend some relaxing time with a friend in your backyard. In this style, you can choose from a regular seat swing, as reviewed in this article, or the Zero Gravity Double Swing in this article. You choose your level of comfort. The big advantage of this big and tall swing style is its ability to hold 350 pounds in each seat. This swing will hold more weight than any other swing in this style.
Having the ability to provide shade with its movable canopy, or extra storage of the center storage area with a lid, this swing is a welcome addition to any outdoor sitting area. You can spend many hours in this swing without getting up, the need for a potty break will be the only reason to let the chair back down and get up.
If you have any comments or questions, use the forms below and I will get back to you shortly.
My double swing doesn’t recline all the way back,like if you wanted to lay down,isn’t it suppose to?
I do not think it reclines all way flat. It will go to a reclined sitting position. There is five locking positions for the chair when relined, none of them completely flat.

After attaching the back leg to the seat the seat assembly is not wide enough to attach to the bottom frame
I found a different instruction sheet online that showed a clearer picture which may help someone else. Screw through the arm hole – tube – continue pushing screw through the seat hole washer then nut
Lee,
Do you have a link to a clearer picture of the page. This would help my readers.
John
I need replacement latch hinge cannot find exact one for zero gravity
Melissa,
In the other comments, there is information on how to contact customer service.
John
I can’t get the canopy on the top. It doesn’t seem long enough. Any suggestions?
Sarah,
If it is in storage without being on the frame for a long time it may shrink. Trying getting it wet and putting it on. If that does not work, you may have to purchase a new top.

We’re trying to assemble this now. Having trouble with attaching the chairs to the base – it seems that the “legs” of the chair aren’t wide enough. Did you run into this?
Jamie,
I have found that if any metal patio furniture is shipped, misalignment of parts is common. Most can be brought back to proper positioning with a little effort. If the part is too far out of alignment, you may have to replace it with another purchase.
John
John,
What you are saying makes sense. I would expect that to a certain extent. In this situation, the holes in the base of the swing (where the “legs” attach to the base) 2″ wider than the chair legs. Can I really stretch/bend the legs that far?
I see that your original post was back in 2019 so I certainly don’t expect you to have all of the answers. I was wondering if anyone else had run into this issue.
Thank you for your input!
Jamie,
I will post your question for others. I have had to move some legs almost his much to make the holes align. Try not to break anything or welds when moving parts to fit.
John
Hello! We are putting one together now and having the same issue. Did you have to call for replacement parts?
Amy,
Any contact information for parts will be on the assembly instructions.
John
Mine didn’t come with instructions. Do you know if theres a website to get them at?
Viviana,
These instructions should be really close to what you need.
John
I NEED THE BIG T TYPE HANDLE THAT HOLDS THE CANOPY ON THAT LETS YOU ADJUST THE ANGLE OF THE CANOPY. PLEASE HELP.
Sherry,

John was just told by the company service department that they manufacturing of the swing quit making the part top cross beam with adjustable teeth part number RTS487G – CSO 9–8
But are still selling this in the store . So how do u get replacement part’s
John,
If the parts are not available from the maker, then the only way to get what is broken without making it is to look at other places online. Try to look at the Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist in your area. A quick search should get you to the swings for sale in your area and this would be the cheapest way to get parts without starting over with a different swing.
John
How can i order a replacement canopy top? Sudden unexpected winds knocked the swing over and the fabric tore off nearly completely from one side. Thank you.
Jack,
There are several replacement canopies at Walmart. Use this link to see what canopy will fit your swing.
John
Is there someplace I can order replacement parts for the swing? I need a new canopy and the pieces that go into the top that the canopy screws into.
David,
Several replacement canopies are available at Walmart. Measure properly and see if hard ware is available for the canopy you choose.
The hardware will be specific to your replacement piece.
