How is this swing hung? what kind of brackets are used to hold it to a header?

The swing comes with chains and heavy duty springs. I purchased eye bolts and mounted them in the header. The springs easily fit them.

The metal frame had s-hooks that the old swing was hanging on. We figured out the seat height which is chair height. The swing hangs with the back at a slight slant. Good luck. We love our swing and I hope this helped.

It comes with the necessary chains and 2 springs. You can screw two eyebolts into your header if you choose. I'd make sure they were at least 5/16ths but I'd recommend 3/8. 2/ 1/2 to 3 inches long. Space them as near to 5 feet apart (4 feet for the smaller swing) to avoid pinch points and to properly distribute the weight. If you have access to the top of the header I would suggest purchasing two swing assembly hangers and then drill holes through the headers and attach the hangers with lag bolts. Hope this helps.

We have it hung from an old metal kids swing set A frame, same as our last swing, and it works well. We have eye bolts and S hooks, then the springs and chain from the builder. Love it.

I used a 3/8 x 4 inch eye bolt inserted thru a hole I drilled in a overhead two by four used nut and washer on top and bottom of 2 x 4.

With "one" of the anchor screws that came with the kit/swing. The kit or supplies was missing one of these big lag screws so I had to purchase one from the local hardware store. The lag screws go deep into the wooden header and the springs and chains are attached to those screws.

The material is all attached with carabineers, however you have to supply something to hang it from. For example, if you want to attach it to a beam in your ceiling, you will need some sort of a swing hook/screw. If you want to hang it from a swing set or a tree branch, you don't need any other hooks or anything like that. I actually hooked mine up to a doorway exercise bar, and I didn't need any other hooks to do that! I hope that helps!

I hung the swing in my daughter's playroom from the ceiling. I screwed 2 eye bolts into a stud in the ceiling. I used 2 carabiners to attach 3 ft of chain to each eyebolt. Then I attached the swing to the end of each chain.

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.

You need strong hooks that are well anchored to hang it from. I hung it on the swing set but I guess you could drill the hooks under a deck. Just be sure they won't come out if someone more than 50 pounds tries to swing on it.

There is a loop attached to the frame with a big bolt on top. The swing attaches with a hook that is tied to the nylon ropes of the swing. It does not swivel; the two metal pieces(the loop and hook) slid on each other. It takes awhile to get the height that you want for the swing, and you have to be careful that you gradually sit on it to tighten the knots in the nylon rope.

Good morning, Jaqunda. The swing comes with 4' hanging chains. The hanging hardware is not included. I hope you find this information helpful. Adreanna, Plow & Hearth Customer Service

There are 6 metal loops around the top edge to hang it. I tied six lightweight cords from the ceiling to fasten to the loops. it might take a bit more ingenuity to hang it outdoors. I also found the "roof" of the mosquito net sagged quite a bit so I gathered up the center of its roof and clipped it with a wire clip and also tied that to the ceiling with another cord. The room we use it in is a porch with beams criss-crossing the ceiling, so it's easy to find a beam to throw a cord over.

It has a nice size handle on it that swivels so i think you could easily figure out how to hang it some how. Hope this helps.

Hi, the swing and rope are pretty heavy. You would need to hang it from a stud in the ceiling or a support beam of similar. I would not recommend trying to hang this particular swing anyplace inside- ot outside from a sturdy tree branch. Sorry.

The one i ordered came with an ''S'' hook. THE ''S'' hook can be used in place of the top cotter pin to both hold the top on and allow for hanging. I have used a chain and metal plant hanger with no problem.

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.

We hung our swing from the ceiling of an indoor play space. We used a 2 strap which worked well. Our straps are hooked on a heavy duty eye hook and 8 inch screw. Children love it.

It has the chains for hanging but not the hooks or springs for attaching the chains to whatever you are hanging it from. I love this swing!

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.

You could hang it from a swing set, but it is wider than most swing set seats. This swing has been a big hit with my grandchildren and great nieces/nephews (ages 2-12 yrs) and I have more than gotten my money's worth of use out of it.
