Other than hiring someone with a really long ladder, how can I hang these from branches higher than my gardener's tallest ladder can reach?

We attached some to a long pole and strapped the pole to a tree. You could attach the pole to the fence instead.

to be honest with you................forget the Irri-Tape. The only one irritated by this is ME. the product may work??? Or I just have demon birds........they sit on it!!!!!!!

I hang them were ever I can; but not in trees. Afraid that they would get too tangled. Hope it helps. Tim

I'd be concerned if you hang this tape that high. In very windy conditions it does break off a bit. You'd be spending money and it's possible that the tape may come undone or simply break. The only other thing I can come up with would be to get a long pvc pipe (or similar) and have your gardener pound it into the ground after you've tied long ribbons to the top (or even shove the pipe into the tree....?) We've stapled ours together around cactus arms so you might want to staple to the pipe itself to keep the tape from slipping. Good luck.

They have a hook,which could hang from a stiff wire or slender rod. You might be able to close the hooks up with a pair of pliers to form a circle if you wanted to.

I put mine up on rail road ties. Served two purposes one made it taller and two rail road ties are heavy. I hammered re bar through them to make sure they didn't move. Another solution might be to get a few bags of quick Crete concrete from home depot and burry some metal anchors with it to attach the legs to. Hope this was helpful

no option. my wife thinks it is too steep to her (but not to me), so i raised its end using wood stumps.

I had to pass mine through the branch, luckily is wasn't a long branch. I just used a ladder. I'm assuming you might be able to feed the end into the loop and get a good hold that way, but you'd still have to climb up to the branch.

You can hang them from the top using a thin wire or string. I hang mine from the top of a chain link fence. Hang them down-wind, if possible.

You can, if you follow the directions of how high up to hang it. Attach it to the tree, don't hang it on a branch.

If necessary you can raise the entire unit 7-8 inches using leg extensions, sold separately for 10 bucks. I did this because I have high ceilings, and it worked like a charm. I really love this piece.

I'm not sure if there is or not. We just found a big enough tree that we felt comfortable with. We did not put the bottom ladder on so it isn't as high as it will go. Which we always use extra straps to secure it to the tree too. Just for extra safety. My son and husband love these stands, we have two of them now. My son is 6'5" so needs the extra room on the platform for his big feet. lol

You will need to use a ladder and should have an adequate reach and good balance to take the canopy down. Recommend you have at least one other person to help.

I use 2 empty large "Tidycat Lightweight" plastic containers. Fill them as much as possible with sand, then add water until they have very little air in them. Tuck them underneath these steps, or any steps, and secure with zip ties, or long white shoestrings to the ladder. This will hold the ladder down but you can undo them and take them out in the winter. You can use a little less sand/water mix to make it lighter to lift if you use 3 or more containers. This works great for me.

You Can Do It Yourself But Will Need An Extension Ladder For Best Results. Product Is ToP Heavy. Attached Rope To Stand THrew Over Branch And Other End To Utv And Pulled Up Ladder. Worked Great.Anchoring BenchTo Tree Is Where Extension Ladder Was Useful.

no one knows how or where you will want it hung. so they don't provide any thing extra except for short piece's of rope. maybe you have trees to hang it from, or patio posts or wall mount anchors like i used for two contact points and two tress for the other end.use longer ropes. i used garage door lift wire for one end to a tree because s red squirrel chewed thru it to get the rope for its nest

I hung mine from the ceiling, which was not that difficult. I'm not sure if that would work since the top is not adjustable.

Hi Crystal...no it is not, but the branch should be a pretty thick one. If that is the case, you should have no issues. You will have to supply your own hanging gear though, as it is designed to sit on a post. Should be easy to do though. Good luck!

I actually hung it on a tree and you could hang it on a branch as well but it'd have to be a bigger branch or the house will sway too much in wind.

If you have a tall tree just join the double green ropes and tie it up to a limb with a single rope. Other wise, if the tree isn't as tall, insert a wooden bar between the green ropes at a level of about five or six feet and then string up the bar and green ropes with a single rope. We love this swing. As many adults get on it as kids, so make sure your stringing is sturdy. I hope this works for you.
