Does anyone have this mounted on a swingset with only two mounting/attachment points? I have a metal pipe style swingset and wonder if it would work.

We have it mounted that way and it works fine. We used a spot that was there for a swing

It would be hard to attach this swing to a single rope. You really need two ropes spaced apart a similar width to the swing for it to work.

The answer is in the limb and how the chain is secured to the limb!!! No problem with swing. Just need to screw heavy steel bolt into the limb.

I think using only two bolts could be problematic. It would swing unless you could anchor it laterally in two places, and that presents it's own troubles. It is designed for four eye bolts.

Two ropes attached, one on either side, just as in photo, and each rope has a ring at the end of it. We would have preferred a swivel hook to be included, but it wasn't and we are still on the lookout for one. We just added this swing to our backyard swing set and it swings back and forth but it would be way better with the swivel hook, then kids could go round and round. Super sturdy swing, by the way, and we did have to tie the ropes in an extra knot on each side because they are quite long for use on our standard swing set. I'm 200 lbs and the swing does fine!

No. This glider will not work properly if hung from only 2 points, like a swing. It wouldn't swing very high at all, and the chains would really be in the way if hung like that. I don't recommend you try this.

I hung mine under my back porch roof. If you buy two screw eye hooks, you'll be able to hang the swing. However, when I did that, I found that the swing wasn't low enough for me to lift my granddaughter into it; so I bought two 12" pieces of chain at Lowes and two carabiners (to hook the chains into the screw eye hooks). That worked perfectly, and my granddaughter loves the swing! The screw eye hooks, chain, and carabiners I bought are fairly heavy duty. Just make sure they fit together, and also make sure that the carabiners that come attached to the ropes on the swing fit into the chain links. I hung mine under my back porch roof.

It's attached by 2 chains at each end. It does swing but not as much as one with only 1 support on each end.

Don't know what a rainbow set is, buy if u have a wooden beam that all your accessories hang on then these should work. The inner brackets used for mounting slide from 0.0" to the very ends of the of the glider bracket so it can accommodate a wide variety of beams. However, it is up to the installer to make a wise choice for placement and whether the beam is strong enough to support the new accessory. I would say if this is replacing an old swing bracket then you should be ok. DISCLAIMER: IT IS ULTIMATELY THE INSTALLER'S CHOICE HOW TO USE THESE BRACKETS.

I would think that you could attach it to a strong tree. The only thing that comes with the swing is the chain. We needed to buy the s-hooks to attach. Hope that was helpful. Nice sturdy swing:)

The hinge will pivot past 270° before one leaf of the hinge hits the other leaf. However, total swing will probably be limited by whatever you mount to the hinge. I suggest you make up a "fake hinge" of stiff cardboard or "thin" sheet metal and try it in "real life" on your project.

I have removed the existing swings and replaced them with 3 different kinds now. As my grandchildren grow, they like different things. So to answer your question, assuming you only need the two hooks, you are fine, in fact, the hooks that came with the unit are great. And as I am typing this, I looked at the glider and had to laugh as that is the EXACT glider I have used on my set. That is too funny, and children love that glider. Our neighbors kids come over all the time and use it. You will be really happy and the old swings are easy to remove and the new glider hooks right up :)

We hung our HugglePod outside from a tree branch. We used the 2" nylon strap and metal loop that came with it to wrap around the tree branch twice. We then connected a metal chain to the metal loop to lower the swing to the height we wanted and connected it to the chain with a quick link. That way we can unscrew the quick link and take the swing down or move it to another location when we want.

My swing came with chains. I prefer them over cables as you can shorten length easier. No mounting hardware.I picked two large eye hooks and used a two carabiner clasps, for quick release on stormy days.

This came with anchors that drive into the ground. We did not sink the legs and the anchors hold the swingset adequately unless our son who weighs over a hundred pounds gets swinging high. We have considered using longer rebar to anchor it but haven't done that yet. Also, we used a longer piece of lumber (actually, my husband glued two 4x6s together) for the top and added a glider and its great. Good luck!

No reason why you couldn't mount it that way if there's room. The only difficulty would be if the pole clamp loosens and the swing assembly plus monitor slides down the pole and falls off.

Yes. You need to be careful that it cannot swing into any other part of the swingset.give it plenty of space so that it can move side to side widely and front to back widely.
