Outdoor metal swing seating for 2. I am looking to replace with webbed straps and put cushions on top of webbing. Would this be strong enough?

Yes, it should hold, I use it to hold my 14" kayak, w/o problems. Note: it will stretch a bit.

The swing were actually using is from our outdoor play system so I would say yes. You may need to make a trip to the hardware store to get some different fasteners, but with very little trouble it's super flexible to attach many things to. :)

We bought a tree swing hanging kit for $46. It included two 3' straps and hardware. It made hanging the swing a lot easier and will be gentler on the tree limb. :)

It would probably be okay, but a lot would depend on how much exposure it would get. The brackets are very sturdy metal and would not be an issue. The ball bearings are plastic but would probably be okay as well. The straps and the rope would be the main concerns I would have being exposed to the weather.

I'm not sure what the official manufacturer (lawyer approved) specs for the swing might be. That aside, the swing itself is made of hard plastic. It's fairly robust. It should support 100++ pounds easily. The limiting factor is the strength of the rope tether. The supplied rope might not support a larger kid, but I'm sure you can buy something just right at a boating, camping store, or hardware store. Word of warning - those ropes can be pricey.

I would think so as well, as long as your net swing has 2 straps. You might be able to rig something to hang from the middle of the bar if need be... I use Carabiner hooks for all the attachments. That way it is easier for my son (6yrs) to exchange them out as he would like. I would

I can't wait to hang ours on our porch. Large screw in hooks can damage trees. I have seen a a regular swing hung with thick strapping. An arborist may have a suggestion.

To answer your question. I really enjoy my metal swing that I bought through Amazon. I like it so much I'm about to buy two of the rocking chairs that matches it. I will tell you I purchased some cushions to go with the swing, just some added comfort.

Yes make sure tree will support you. We have a stand for our swing so it can be used in several locations if you want to move it.

I would worry about what the swing is hanging on (how strong is that branch?) The nylon rope is not thin and flimsy. The plastic seat is very strong, but it's hard plastic and I weighed 160 when I tried it out. Besides not being very comfortable on an flabby old butt with more hanging off than on, it wasn't a pretty sight.

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 !

Yes. Definitely. The straps and rings themselves are very sturdy and reliable. The hard part is finding a solid place to hang the rings from. I have mine hanging from the rafters in my garage so the real weight challenge is on the rafters, not the rings/straps.

We have had two 175 pound persons on the swing for a couple hours. No problems feeling secure. Its very well built with strong bolts and chain supports. We assembled it in about two hours.

Unfortunately, no. It would be too uncomfortable for the swings. Not too heavy.

yes, it should be strong enough. it's solid rubber...perfect for our one step up from the garage. But it does have a strong rubber odor. And it has deep ridges so not sure if that would be a problem with the power chair.

I do not see any reason why it would not be OK for metal frame. In the worst case you can add additional 2 small screws in the existing holes. but i do not think it is neseccasry. You can also add more webbing strips to reduce the load on each one of the strips.
