can this swing hang from a tree as opposed to swingset ?

It's perfect for hanging from a tree but it may be smart to protect the tree branch from damage by putting a piece of rubber hose over that part of the chain that rubs against the branch when the swing is in motion.

Sure, just need two, two or three inch bolts and nuts to attach, but be sure to put something between the chain and tree to keep from damaging the tree...

For safety sake, I would not advise hanging a swing from a tree. With a swing set you can utilize appropriate hardware for hanging your swing. We built our own swing-set using treated lumber...it is very strong and I don't worry about the connection hardware...it was designed for this use. It is much more difficult, I would think, to design a secure hanging system to a living tree. The tree itself may become the weak link in your system. Just my thought.

I hung my swing on a tree branch. You have to buy additional chain and hardware to hang it but if done properly, it works just fine. I tried using part of a rubber hose to protect the tree but this prevented the swing from swinging more freely. I had to remove the hose for it to swing properly.

I can't wait to hang ours on our porch. Large screw in hooks can damage trees. I have seen a a regular swing hung with thick strapping. An arborist may have a suggestion.

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.

It's original intent is to be hung on a swing set, but you could wrap the chain around the tree branch and then secure it with the appropriate bolts.

We put ours where a regular swing is supposed to go on our swingset, it just has to be to one side or the other since it is a single rope. So I would think yes for your situation.

Not sure as I sent it as a gift. Would think you would need to measure the distance from tree limb to distance off the ground that you would like swing. Buy heavy duty chain with a safety lock to attach chain to tree limb.

It can be hung either way. I hung my to a single point and used a Black Diamond Rotor so the swing will spin.

Yes, you do have to buy parts to hang it, but it's worth every penny. My 3-year-old granddaughter loves her "car" swing. (It wasn't put on a normal swingset.)

Yes, you do need hardware to hang on a tree. My suggestion to you would be to go to Lowe's. They deal with this all the time and can hand pick the items you need. This is what I did.

I hang mine from a tree....but it can also be hung by a pole. Either will work!

The swing-set comes with chains. The chains have a "c" hook on the end. You need the hooks or lag bolts to screw into wherever you are hanging it from, so you can attach your chains. I did not, and would not, use springs in any fashion.

yes but save money dont buy it its useless just put your swing set under a tree with shade like i did this canopy is hard to use and doesnt work well.

You can hang a hammock from the ceiling. I believe it would work great. It holds two of my kids on a round swing and they are big

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.

You could hang this swing indoors. However it is very sturdy and built for the outdoors. It might be overkill for an inside swing. You will need two 3/8" eyebolts along with two hooks to attach the chain to the bolts. If you are going to hang it indoors make sure you attach it to ceiling joists.

It has hooks to attach to the hardware already on your swingset. If you are hanging it from something other than a swingset, you will need to buy hooks.

The swing doesn't come with the hardware to hang it. So, we used one of those metal clips used for rock climbing. We got it at a sporting goods store for ten bucks. This way the swing is not embedded into the tree, but rather hanging from it, which is important to us. We set our swing about 2 1/2 feet off the ground so that my 3 year old can climb in and out of the swing with minimal effort. It can be as low to the ground as you want. Set up was super easy once we bought the clip. The swing comes fully assembled.
