The ropes are long (so could hang from a high tree or swing set), but attach with hooks at the top. If you hang it using the full length of the rope, it would be no big deal, but we had to loop ours around a few times in order to make it the right length. The hooks are great, you just have to make it the right length first.

We absolutely love this swing platform. My grandkids and nephews can swing on it together, and that makes it a riotto watch them laugh. It is very, very sturdy and comfortable... We have two eye screws at the top and then we purchased two heavy duty clips to hook through the eyes. very easy.

We have ours hanging from a swing set. Our set is 11' tall. I wouldn't recommend hanging from anything less than 10'

There are loops at the top of the ropes. I hung the platform from a branch some distance above the ground so I added more high tensile strength rope and strong clips, both with a rating above the 250 lbs. of the platform. Additional rope knots came from websites about 'hanging a tree swing'. They were a bit challenging but have held for more than a year so far despite heavy use.

I bought commercial swing hangers from Amazon and they work great. They hold 300 pounds and bolt to the wood beam of the swingset we built. This swing is one of my best purchases for my grandchildren. My granddaughter takes a book out and lays on the swing and reads. I would definitely buy ths swing again. Hope this helps.

we hung it from two ropes tied to a tree limb. We used rings on the end of the lines and carabiners to join the two.

I have the tree branch wrapped with a tree strap... with 2 chains looped around the branch about 3 feet apart, closed with steel carabiners rated at 5000 lbs. the loops at the top of each of the green rope hooks into the carabiner

It is like a tire swing and all chains meet together at the top. I will tell you this it is a great swing. I have a 10 yr old and a 2 yr old and they both fit on it comfortably. Heck I've even laid on it and swung around and I weigh 215lbs!

It comes with swing, ropes and hooks at the top of the ropes. But you need something to hang it from. We hang ours from a large low hanging tree branch...and use a cable of our own with loops on each end that we wrap around the branch and hook the swings ropes onto with the hooks that come with it. If mounting to some other type of structure might need to mount eye bolts to anchor it to (which are not included). If mounting to something more than 6 or 7 ft off the ground might want extra rope/chain etc to use as extenders...so swing is not too high off the ground.

You could hang it from a swing set, though you might need to purchase some sort of hook attachment from a hardware store in orderfor the swing to attach to the swing set hooks. Just keep in mind the width of this swing since you will have side bars to consider on a swing set.

IDK what they are talking about. My swing showed up in the package with the rope. This swing rocks! It's really bright. It looks like a remote controlled saucer hanging from tree (we throw it around like a Frisbee with our dog.) I hope it lasts and water doesn't get inside of it (there is a small seam between the seat and the sides. I may just wrap it with clear tape to make sure.

The swing doesn't come with the hardware to hang it. So, we used one of those metal clips used for rock climbing. We got it at a sporting goods store for ten bucks. This way the swing is not embedded into the tree, but rather hanging from it, which is important to us. We set our swing about 2 1/2 feet off the ground so that my 3 year old can climb in and out of the swing with minimal effort. It can be as low to the ground as you want. Set up was super easy once we bought the clip. The swing comes fully assembled.

It's designed to hang. If you sit it on a table, the balloon sits right on top of the basket and you don't see the strings connecting them. I like it, but it's smaller than I expected--it's about the size of a cantaloupe (the balloon).

The birdhouse has a piece of string coming out of the top to hang it up with. I'm not using mine as a birdhouse as such... I have it filled with rocks to make it heavy and have it sitting on a small stool in one of our flower beds as a decoration.

It doesn't hang in a tree. It is meant for decoration purposes only. But when we received ours, it was mostly destroyed in shipping (not packed very well). I believe other people had the same issue. We sent it back right away for a full refund.

Mine is hanging from the ceiling in my daughters room off an S hook, which makes it at a great height. I took pictures for you but can't figure out how to attach it to this.

The top is a flat surface. You would have to get a special adapter to make it hang, I think.

It's about 28" from the hanging end to the "O" link. From the "O" it's 31" to the link on the front of the swing arm. There are also 2 hooks to hang it by that are 7" long (didn't use). We put it on a 6' a-frame swing set and it was way too much chain. My guess is you could hang it from something about 8' above ground. Sorry it's not more precise, but the chains are doubled up on the hook and we're in the middle of a major ice storm here in SC. On another note, we have cushions for ours. Without them, the metal bars hurt my back and legs after 10 to 15 minutes.

We hung ours from a tree it swings. This is not a swing that can stand still it goes back a good foot and a half when swinging on it.I did have to stain it 3 times and then polyurethane it a couple times.

You might be able to put some canvas over the top. We have ours under the trees. Overall, they are great swings and I highly recommend them. We own five of them now. The first ones are about 10 years old now...we stain them about every three years and they look as good as the newest ones.

You have to screw/bolt it into you ceiling. I belive it could also hang it from a swing set, but I haven't actually used it yet because my LO is still too young.

It comes with the swing and chain as seen in the picture. A few feet of chain on top perhaps... you need to figure in your own how to attach to swing set or trees.

I hung mine about 2.5 fit from ground to enable my daughter to get on/push off with her feet and allow for slack from branch. It was easy to hang, after determining which tree branch to use. I used tow straps around the branch, then hung the swing. My daughter loves it.

I purchased the hanging kit that was advertised with the swing. My son-in-law hung it on a tree branch with no problems. I believe you can adjust it so the swing will be flat.
