I own this set, and we need to anchor one of the legs, which moves when one is swinging. Can anyone recommend an anchor that will work with this set?

I have exactly same issue. I contacted Lifetime and they don't have any anchors as this is supposed to be free standing. They mentioned that some movement is normal.

I used the brackets that were already on my swing set for this swing. I bought hooks from lowes and it attached easily. No issues.

I would say anything is possible but we anchor ours to a fence. There are othee ways to anchor as well if you would like to move yours around the yard.

The most important thing to do is make you sure find studs to drill/screw into. Personally, I used Tapcon (blue) screws, but most screws that are at least 2 inches in length with some decent threads on them should do the trick. Good luck and happy swinging!

i got to tell you the set i bought came with a Small any were anchor, but the true is you need the larger one if you going to work out using the any were anchor, the small one does not work on a lot of stuff, do not let this stop you from buying the set, mine are one year old i use then 5 -8 time a week in live excised with Blake Kassel, they are still holding up great, if you need the large one bit the bullet and just buy one you will not be sorry

If your swingset has the upper hardware to attach it. I had to purchase the hardware to attach it to a wood swingset.

There is an eye bolt on the bow that could be used to tie the boat to lock it. Not sure about an anchor, it's not a very heavy boat and has weight limit of 425lbs, so I wouldn't suggest a very heavy one. We just got the boat and have had it out once, we really like it, seems stable and not too heavy to move around. Hope this helps.

Well, we just put ours up again this year on an 8'X10' deck we built for it. I will definitely need anchoring and yesterday I purchased some thin threaded rods that I am going to install between the decking boards and fasten the feet of the frame with washers and wing nuts. I don't really want to drill holes in my deck, so I am hoping this will work. Also, I put plastic shelving inside on both sides of the tent with my plants on them; this also helps to secure it from windy and stormy weather. I will need to put some kind of heat source inside, as well; not sure what though. I like the idea of the reptile heater and am going to look into that. Hope this helps.

I put mine on wood floors, they haven't moved, but i have my bench and my weights on them all the time, not sure if they are acting like anchors.

We used screws on each panel through the metal into our deck, then we used metal rope with tighteners like they use for clothes lines in the corners inside and out. I tried to purchase just their anchoring kit from the company direct but the woman would not sell it to me because we didn't buy from them directly. Amazon was almost two hundred dollars cheaper to order and I got free shipping with my PRIME membership. The company charges 140.oo to ship! LOVE AMAZON.

Yes, it comes with an anchor kit so be sure to use it. When they swing it is definitely needed.

Strongly suggest you did what we did...get some short rebar rods and pound them in along-side the legs. Then tether them to the legs with cable ties. No chance of winds blowing it over now.

You really need to anchor it, don't use it on a good table top. It will scratch & mar, unless you can get something under it to help keep it stationary.

Yes, it can be attached to a standard swing-set. It comes with ropes and bolts for attaching.

It attaches by two hooks/rings. We have ours on a wooden swing set so there is no bar. You should be able to hang it from a wooden deck using strong screw hooks. Just make sure they're strong enough and securely fastened into the deck plank.

you'll have to drill and use cement anchors - but yes, it can work. YouTube cement anchor or Masonry Molly and you'll see what you need to do.

I've hung our swing to our deck. Go to Home Depot or Lowes and buy the following two chains(note the will cut the chain to your required length), two eye hooks(to go into the beams), and two quick links.
