Can this be hinged to lay flat against a wall when not in use, 180 degree swing

It does lay flatish against the wall. The hinge is a post pivot so it lays as flat as the hinge sticks out. Hinge is about an inch total and that is the max the whole thing encroaches into the walkway.

I have 2 doors. One lays flat against the wall. The other one doesn't so it's kind of in the way. But I think it is because my husband didn't install it correctly. Or the wall it's weird.

The locking mechanism does not work on an angle, BUT you could mount the gate hinge on the angled wall. As long as the locking side and lock strip meet well it should work.

Not really. You can mount it as a swing gate, but it would be hard to fasten if the bannister is in the way.

I would be worried it would knock the balance off- I went downstairs and put mine upside down and looked at it- I think (think) you could but I don't know that I would do that- maybe look for a different swing? Sorry :( however Amazon has a great return policy so you could always buy it and assemble and if you don't like send back.

I don't think so... I bought 2 and the arms of both of them are extremely difficult to swing. It will take a very strong wall attachment to be able to swing like my mom's was when I was growing up. However, if you want the arms stationary, you might be able to attach to the wall without anchors and strong screws.

Yes. I have it flat against a wall. You'd need to secure it, though. Fully loaded, without a back support, like my wall, it might wobble if not loaded carefully.

Yes I fold the legs in and put against the wall flat. It is very sturdy. I highly recommend . Hope this helps!

You could with arms straight, and elbows locked. May be hard to prevent swinging. If you rested on your elbows with arm in 90 degree position, you would likely hurt elbow/lower arms.

No, I don't think so. It is a tension rod, so if it can't sit flat, it will not be sturdy.

Yes it can. I use it almost flat - just a slight tilt, but it can be used flat.

Yes it can. Ours was hung in place of a regular swing. We have had it 2 years on our community play ground and it has held up great.

yes you could. The hinges allow you to fold it completely and will swing both ways so a circle would be easy

You should not have any problems, it swings left and right and will lay flat against the wall. It also tilts but only about 15 degrees. Full extension in the center position is about 12 inches from the wall.

Yes it can. If mounted normally it can be tilted from facing up and horizontally flat to facing down and horizontally flat.

No you can't. At least not while it is upright. I suppose of it were flat you could, but it wouldn't be secure, nor would it look nice.

It can lay flat fairly easily (the two support struts can be rotated by loosening the clamps), which allows it to be stored flat against a wall (this is how I store it). However, it does not appear to fold into a more compact shape--for example, trying to store it in a closet or under a bed might require disassembly, based on my experience.

Hmmm, I haven't tried this myself but I would have to think the hinges would prohibit from doing a circle. Sorry =(
