what type of rope is on the swing?

I don't know the material it is constructed of, but It is STRONG and is wearing well. It is not regular plastic or hemp rope. It is not hairy or hard on the hands or legs where it is wrapped around the frame or as the "net" in the center. The openings in the net part are quite large, so make sure little kids are well supervised on it, because their legs can slip thru. It is a GREAT swing for both big and little kids - I like to swing on it myself. Get a heavy duty swivel from an outdoor supply not the hardware store - the swing can support more weight than the standard stuff allows - same for rope to attach it to the tree or swing stand.

It's a nylon rope. My kids absolutely love this swing. We've had as many as 6 kids on it at one time.

The ropes are plastic accordion chains. They expand to the length you want and can be removed from the posts. Yes you can exchange them for another type of rope. They have a plastic thing around the post where you can clip the accordion chain to. The base/posts are plastic and they have to be filled with water or sand to hold them down.

Yes you could hang a swing with this rope as long as you Tie a few strands together and pre shrink the paracord. you can pre shrink the cord by dropping it in boiling water for a few seconds, if you don't pre shrink when it gets wet it will shrink so your best bet is to shrink before hanging anything with it and yes it is fairly weather resistant

The chains have a carabiner at the end so as long as you have something to attach those to you can use a swing frame.

Chain on the top and rope in the bottom portion that connects to the swing.

It seems extremely strong. The swing and the rope are both intertwined. .. I'm not sure if this answers your question or not?

I'm not sure what kind of rope it is but it is very nice rope. I have used it for a year now and it has held up better and done better than some of my mammot ropes. The rope I got in this package was 10.0 mm which is what I like to do. But very nice rope. And the rest of the gear I am still using too after a year it is all nice and durable.

It comes with a metal clamped rope, and plastic disc that is holding those in place under the swing. Are you wanting to remove those, and replace the rope?

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.

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 suppose in theory it could although I I've never tried that. I would think there would be better choices out there for a swing rope.

We had a previous swing with 2 ropes already hanging. We just tied the new ropes to the old ropes using a tight knot.

Based on my experience using the rope, I would say yes to both. Very durable. If you have the skill to criss-cross, it's a fast rope and will work.

Both ...consider the rope as backup to the crank. The crank makes the task of loading the bow super easy.
