HOW TO HANG
|
EXPOSED WOODEN BEAMS
(ceiling, patio cover, or gazebo)
- If your beams are exposed, you're almost done!
- Simply install the hook into the center of
the beam all the way until only the curved part
of the hook is exposed.
- Hang chain from hook
and suspend chair from chain using "S" hook,
leaving about 6" of chain hanging free.
- Loop
free end of chain under swivel, and attach to
lower end of "S" hook, as shown in
Figure B.
|
HIDDEN WOODEN BEAMS OR RAFTERS (ceilings and porches)
- Locate hidden beams. They are commonly spaced
16" apart.
One way to locate them is by tapping lightly
on the ceiling, listening for the difference between
a hollow sound (no beam) and a solid, sharper
sound (beam). Don't get discouraged, they're up
there.
- To make sure you're on a beam, hammer a
small nail at the spot (you'll hit something
solid if you're on the beam).
- To locate center
of beam, hammer second nail to left or right
of the first one. Drill and install as in previous
paragraph.

CEMENT OR ADOBE CEILING
- Drill at a slight angle into cement or adobe
with masonry bit.
- Apply adhesive mixture into hole.
- Insert lead plug, tapping lightly with hammer.
- Screw straight hook (included) into lead
plug. Allow adhesive to cure.
