Product Information
Full details
The ALPEXE Skateboard Swing is designed for children and teens who love the dynamics of skateboarding and surfing but want to experience it in a backyard setting. It offers the unique benefit of allowing both standing and sitting positions, mimicking board-sport motions in a safe, suspended format. The main caveat is that it requires a sturdy, two-point compatible swing frame, as it is not designed for single-point tree attachments.

FAQs
Can adults use this swing?
The swing is primarily designed for children and teens; please verify the weight capacity of your specific swing frame before adult use.
Is the swing weather-proof?
It is made of treated wood for outdoor use, but we recommend storing it during extreme weather to extend its life.
What tools are needed for installation?
No tools are required if your frame already has compatible clips; otherwise, standard carabiners or hooks are necessary.
Can I use this on a tree?
Only if you have a frame or a structure that provides two separate, stable hanging points. A single rope on a tree branch is not safe for this product.
How do I clean the board?
Wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the wooden finish.
Troubleshooting
The swing feels wobbly or uneven
Adjust the rope length on one or both sides until the board is perfectly level when stationary.
Handles feel loose while in use
Check the knots at the connection points; ensure they are tightly cinched and locked into the deck hardware.
Wood showing signs of moisture damage
Lightly sand the affected area and apply a weather-resistant outdoor wood sealant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions:
- Ensure your swing frame is stable and rated for outdoor swings.
- Locate two ceiling hooks or eyelets spaced at the width of the swing's attachment points.
- Loop the adjustable ropes through your swing frame clips.
- Test the height; the board should be at an appropriate distance from the ground to prevent dragging during movement.
Compatibility:
This swing is compatible with any standard, two-point swing frame. It is not intended for use on 'tire swing' style single-point mounts.
Care and Maintenance:
- Regularly check the ropes for fraying.
- Inspect the wooden board for splinters or weather-related wear.
- In harsh weather conditions, it is recommended to detach the swing and store it indoors to prolong the lifespan of the wood and rope.
