How do you install the chains where they don't dig into the wood . Don't know if my husband installed the bolts wrong. No closeup picture available

run the chains through the chain hole and attach to the front and back bolts on the bottom of the swing; put a nut on each bolt to secure the chain. Make sure everything is all tight and you are ready to hang the swing.

flip it over, look for a flat wood center platform with a center hole and four unused holes surrounding it. Even if it is the wrong bolt pattern (mine was) just center it and drill four new holes. Obviously you have to remove the existing legs or supports.

Just drill new holes or expand the existing ones. I had a similar problem. It takes about two minutes with a drill and proper bit. Save yourself the money. Good luck. This was a good quality product if you decide to buy it. Mine is mounted in a way I cannot measure, sorry.

raymond, hope this helps U. Take the cover off at the 2 nuts where the bar fits, Re-track the bar back. now thread the chain around the sprocket and the slot on the bar, make sure the chain points in the right direction, now adjust the bar forward until reaching the proper tension . let me know that this is successful for U

Move the trailer connection first!!! Also use a pipe for leverage on the bolts. They are really tight. All hardware included. It takes about an hour. A second set of hands is really helpful.

When I assembled mine all the holes were where they were supposed to be and the respective bolts fit through the respective holes perfectly as per directions /pictures . Seemed quite straight forward ... no extra parts left over no extra holes . Thing been holding together quite well with almost daily hauling of forest products / fencing supplies /tools . Perhaps you could further clarify your question .

There's "swing hooks" that will install in the wood. I bought mine at WAL-MART

the bolt has to be threaded through the rack so you have to screw it in vs. just trying to push through the other side. hope that helps!

I used a 3/8" bit for the through holes in the beam. The bolts are 3/8" so you have to tap them through with a hammer. I recommend that you use a drill with a built in bubble level in order to get a straight hole. That's a pretty long hole to drill by eye. Also you may have to do a lot of sanding on the 4x4's and 4x6 in order to get them into the brackets. Lumber dimensions vary even within each piece. I uses a 5" orbital sander and it still took a while. Good luck!

I had the exact same issue. I put them together, with some struggle because of quality control, and one is wobbly as you described. The bolts are completely tight yet they still shake and rattle. In my opinion it is due to poor QC and design. This will be my one and only purchase from Gorilla Fitness.

That's exactly what we did. Took one of the swings down and installed it in its place. Not sure about the brand issue, but I assume the chains are all the same.Hope this helps!

A large bolt should have come with the cat tree. Should bolt from the inside of the box. The poll just screws down on the bolt. If no bolt came in the pkg I would contact amazon.

We have found that the "best" method over time is to cut or buy from hdwr store a a length of wood about 2" wide by 1/2" thick, and slightly longer than the two swing connections. This can then be fastened into the stud very sturdily and the swing gate hardware is then screwed into the wood. We have found it's not necessary to do the same on the other side,

I will gladly send photos of my installation (I tried to insert a photo and couldn't, if you know how let me know) I ran into a situation where the new mounting sights where the shower rod attaches to the wall was not at a point where a wall stud was located. I used a screw-in drywall anchor (like the The Hillman Group 41408 Self-Drilling Hollow Wall Anchor found on Amazon)

If you are mounting into a wood fore end, go to ace and pick up a few stainless steel wood screws. Layout , mark and pilot drill your holes, so the screws don't crack the wood. Please don't use a big pilot bit, or the screws will strip out.

No problem, just be sure that your fasteners are attach to studs or thick wood... Enjoy

Try switching around the feet and don't tighten anything until you get all the bolts through. If anything, you might have to drill a little, but I didn't have to. Just keep it kinda loose, until you get everything in.
