What is the best type of rope to use to hang this from a tree? We hung ours &amp; it doesn't swing -It just twists about 25 times one way then untwists and retwists.

We used a very heavy duty chain. We bought enough length to loop around limb and hang down to where we wanted the chair to hang. We allowed extra length around the limb to allow it to grow without the chain growing in to the tree. The chain had to be very heavy duty for the s hook on the chair to fit through it. I think it was like a 1400 lb capacity chain. The first one we bought wasn't big enough for the s clamp. The chair rotates a little when you first sit in it but then stops. You may have to select a link up or down if it faces a way in a direction 90 degrees from where you want to face. Hope that helps.

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

What will I be hanging this on or from? I hung mine from a tree it's pretty big and the rope is long. All I need was a 2 foot chain link to connect around the tree with.

yes it comes with ropes, and they are very long. ropes are attached to the swing. I looped them through hooks in a tree, but in theory you could probably just loop over the branch itself with what is provided. but you should look at a separate hanging kit too

I'd be concerned if you hang this tape that high. In very windy conditions it does break off a bit. You'd be spending money and it's possible that the tape may come undone or simply break. The only other thing I can come up with would be to get a long pvc pipe (or similar) and have your gardener pound it into the ground after you've tied long ribbons to the top (or even shove the pipe into the tree....?) We've stapled ours together around cactus arms so you might want to staple to the pipe itself to keep the tape from slipping. Good luck.

Hi Catherine, was wondering if you ended up getting this to hang from a swing set? If so, does it work? I'm looking to put it on a Backyard Adventure playset to replace a bucket swing, not sure if it works...

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

we hung it from two ropes tied to a tree limb. We used rings on the end of the lines and carabiners to join the two.

I would not recommend using rope. You need some type of steel strand which needs to be as tight as possible between two trees.

Wouldn't it be great if the wire rope always rewound in a nice neat fashion? Unfortunately, they never do, and neither does this Grizzly.. I have no idea if you can replace the rope with a web strap.

I don't think you can, the swing comes with 2 rope adt. I just put 2 ropes on the tree and attached the swing

That's true but the ropes are pretty long and unless the swing set was way above the ground, it would not work too well. Ours is in a tree and the grandkids were thrilled with it when they came for Thanksgiving and gave it a great workout...very sturdily made.

If the dog goes around the tree it will tangle up. You can wrap it around a tree and hook it back to itself, but I don't recommend that. It will not be very secure.

Hi Loren, people usually hang it from the ceiling, we send our trapeze with extra nylon ropes if you ceiling is too high or if you want to hang it over a beam or a tree. The only thing what you have to buy are the ceiling hooks. Hope it helped! Thank you, Tracy YOGABODY Naturals

I don't know how much weight it can hold, but the rope is good and thick. I've been using one with my tree stands for 2 years. I like the added security of not falling. Also, it is quite easy to use.

If you have a tall tree just join the double green ropes and tie it up to a limb with a single rope. Other wise, if the tree isn't as tall, insert a wooden bar between the green ropes at a level of about five or six feet and then string up the bar and green ropes with a single rope. We love this swing. As many adults get on it as kids, so make sure your stringing is sturdy. I hope this works for you.

tree straps are much kinder to the tree. Rope digs into the bark and injures the tree over time. Look for Hammock Tree Straps. Amazon and REI carry some.
