Can you loop it over a tree branch or playground equipment?

Yes. That's what the short strap on the left of the picture is for. Both long straps connect to it and then you toss it over. If your support is over 10 feet up I think you need to buy their extension strap, but I've never had to worry about that. I use this at home and TRX at the gym. I like the Jungle Gym better for all but a few exercises, and it's cheaper, too.

Yes, however common sense and caution are paramount in those cases. I have both a tree and playground equipment in my yard. I would use a very thick tree branch if that was the only option. Playground equipment can be flimsy, so I would be especially wary.

Yes, you should be able to because you loop it over itself to secure it. If I remember correctly, it comes with an extender strap for thick branches.

Short answer, Yes. As noted in the other comments, use common sense when judging whether the tree limb or playground equip. will stand up to the strain you will be putting on it.

yes you can use on anything....this equipment is not one piece but two. I just put a "girth hitch" in it. quick and easy set up !

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

I would think so. It comes with a strap that can be tightened. I strap it around a pillar on my front porch. I think it would be even easier to strap it to a tree.

I am not sure why you would do this and what benefit you would get. As the branch grows it will probably snap or fuse. No logic

I think you could. We used a tree, but knotting the rope somehow so it doesn't slide should work.

We don't have a tree but rather an arbor-type structure. My husband used really long eye bolts and attached them to the overhead boards then secured the eye bolts with a washer and screw nut. I believe that if you had a heavy chain that could wrap around the branch of the tree you wanted to use you could then just hook the swing on to the chain with the "hook" that comes with the swing. I can honestly tell you that this has been a big hit with our 4 & 2 year old grand kids. I have put pillows on the swing, they laid down and both fell asleep while I sat in a chair swinging them. This has happened a half dozen times. I can see years of fun with the swing. Hope this helps.

Well, out of the box, I don't think the strap is long enough to loop around a tree. However, it could be done if you are willing to spend extra on a piece of 1.5 inch nylon strap and carabiner(s), then loop it through the end of the rip60. It still be cheaper than the TRX Force. IMHO.

At the top (limb) you simply drape the top of the rope over the limb forming a loop which you pass the rope throug. I found it helpful to choose a limb which was at a height that allowed the bottom of the ladder to almost touch the ground and I affixed a light chain around the base of the tree fastening the rope to the side if the trunk.

I said no and my husband said yes. He also stated that it depended on the strength of the branch and you could use the chains etc that come with it. I wouldn't use the chains as they would eat into the bark of the branch and eventually harm it. It is your swing and your tree so you will decide anyway. You got two versions with us.

It comes with these screw hooks that you could screw into the tree and then you could make a small loop at the end of the line (you can cut it if it's too long) and fasten it using the clamps they provide in the kit. The way we did it was to loop it around the tree once, and then fasten the end back to the line using the clamp

I would think not. One would have stand at the base of the tree and point the device straight up and aim it at a individual particular limb. With foliage on the limbs, this would be virtually impossible. I suppose, one could do an equation: get the distance from a location to the base of the tree and a distance to the top and then compute the unknown distance (height of the tree).

You also might want to add a turnbuckle to the mix, so you can maintain constant tension on the cable.. Of course, you also might pull your tree down. :)

I also have a tree swing, but it uses a different strap system. These tree straps depend on weight to grip and tighten around the tree trunk. A swing uses a horizontal branch which is usually smaller in diameter. I'll say yes as long as you attach the swing to both ends of the strap.

It can be opened and then closed around the tree limb. The loops slip out of the silver part.

You definitely could use it on a tree branch if it a really sturdy one. We've hung it from different things outside, but we always make sure it can hold the baby's weight. Our grandson loves it. We love it because it keeps him happy.

Well I guess if you try hard enough you could hang it anywhere. It's made to attach to a swing set cross bar if the tree branch was straight there is enough of the cool covered chain you could hang it.

yes you can loop this around a post---I have it looped around my porch leg---it has two hooks on it one at each end so it is versatilehope this helps
