A system for orienting or biasing swings before installation uses a device having a bed adjusted to the desired orientation or bias. The swing is supported from a temporary support by its normal semi-elastic supports which are stretched in a manner to conform to the bias of the bed. In order to obtain the necessary amount of stretching in the semi-elastic support, the swing is forced into the bed during a process in which the bed is moved vertically to facilitate the stretching of the semi-elastic supports.
