You may need to add extra joists for more support. If you have regular ceiling joists, use a screw eye bolt; for flat joists, use a through bolt. Pre-drill holes into the joists, making sure the spacing matches that of your swing chains. Next, hang the chains and assemble your swing. Finally, hang the swing, making sure that it's level.
