Did you end up building the swing? If so how did it go?

Not yet. Shortly after getting the pattern, had a death in the family. Swing time will have to wait for awhile.

We were not able to hang our swing on an existing swing set or any of our trees. It is big. We are going to have to build a frame to hold it.

I guess the cumulative weight we've put on the swing must be close to 200 lbs. with no problems. See the photo.

You can use eye bolts from a hardware store, just pre-drill a small hole and screw in the eye bolt, then you can then hang the swing from there.

If you put work into it like I did (grinding, new handle material, sharpening) I would say yes, easily with the larger of the two. However, there are a lot of variables such as if you have done so before with other weapons, speed of the swing, weight behind the swing. All these align then you might be able to straight out of the box.

We actually hung ours in a tree, since there was not a swing set. Of course we looped some chain on the branch for the glider to hook to rather than the branch itself.

I built a canopy for ours. Email me at dnutte2@yahoo.com and I will send you a pic of the canopy I built

I bought the pair and hung a couple of chair swings on the covered patio. I can replace the chairs later with a porch swing later if I want.

I am sorry, but I no longer have the swing and cannot answer your question. Good luck!

I'm sorry,but I did not put it together. I had a friend do it. However, from what I understand from him, it wasn't hard at all.

I hung my swing on a tree branch. You have to buy additional chain and hardware to hang it but if done properly, it works just fine. I tried using part of a rubber hose to protect the tree but this prevented the swing from swinging more freely. I had to remove the hose for it to swing properly.

so sorry. my little grand children for whom I bought the swing have kept me so busy I haven't even tried to put it up. my big grandkid pleaser is a hanging bucket swing from ACACIA. they love it.

The swing comes with chains. Any extra would have to be purchased at a local hardware store.

Absolutely not....it is very heavy built. It will take 2 strong people just toHang the swing on the frame. This by far is the best built swing I have everPurchased. Very pleased as we live on a lake and experience high winds often.Very comfy too !

I purchased it. Then measured it to the height I wanted. I went to lowes and bought (measured and cut) heavy duty chain and it worked perfectly. I think I needed about 5 feet... You may need a little more or less depending on the height you want. GREAT swing! Love it!!

We built a regular swing set frame for the swing plus we added another kind of swing on it. It works well and my grandchildren absolutely love tghe swing. They use it constantly to play on or just read a book. It works great!

Very easy. Just take good rope. We used some big snaps to snap into a loop on the rope. I love these swings :)
