Correction

Multi-axis (tire) swings are suspended in a horizontal orientation using three suspension chains or cables connected to a single swivel mechanism that permits both rotation and swinging.

Additional Guidelines and Recommendations

• Swings are never hung on a composite structure and only one multi-axis swing per bay.
• Regularly inspect and maintain the swivel mechanism, as the added stress of rotational movement increases the likelihood of failure. Hanging mechanism do not have any exposed crush points.
• If steel-belted radials are used, regularly examine them for exposed steel belts or wires and replace if found.
• Drainage holes must be present on the underside of the tire for drainage.
• The minimum clearance between the seat of a tire swing and the uprights of the supporting structure is 30 inches.
• The minimum clearance between the bottom of the seat and the protective surface is 12 inches.
• Ground cover (protective surfacing) must be in place under the swing.
