In July, a homeowner reached out to us with a common problem – the wind had broken her swing canopy bracket. She was determined to find the right replacement, specifically a 2-inch size. After reviewing the details, we identified her swing as the San Jose Three Seat Cushion Swing, sold by Kroger Company, with a canopy frame connector code# 18000626028. The broken plastic fitting she sent looked just like our type 5 swing plastic fitting, also originally sold by Kroger. She compared the core product dimensions of our type 5 fitting with her broken one and found them similar. She bought it from Timyrimy, and today she told us it fits perfectly! This was a great discovery for us – our type 5 fitting is compatible with the canopy frame connector code 18000626028.



Let’s dive into the details of the canopy frame connector code# 18000626028 and see if it’s the right replacement part for your aging swing.

Where can I find that manual? I am also looking for one of the arched metal piece that holds the canopy up. Know where I can find it?
The manual usually comes in the box when you buy the swing. Do you remember the model number for your aging swing? And if you can, could you send me some pics of the whole frame and the broken part?
