How much room do you need to allow around the swing for it to move freely?

It will depend on the length of the ropes that you used to hang the swing. We have 6 ft in front of the swing and 6 ft in back. With 3 ft on either side.

The swing measures exactly 49 1/2 inches on the outside of the arms. It is plenty large for 2 normal size people and a medium size dog.

It does not swing freely like the ones that you would hang between two trees but it does move a little back and forth. It is comfortable and sturday and easy to assemble.

That might be tight. 20 feet would be better. the hammock is about 8-10 feet long, and you want to allow enough line for swing time

Most designs leave 24" from the support members, 20" between swings and approximately 16" between the chains for the swing. Measure your swing to confirm the 16". These dimensions are conservative. I have built four large swings with these dimensions and have not experienced an accidental collision. Remember the higher the swing top crossbar the more fun it is to swing.

8 foot ceiling at the minimum, 9 foot or more would be ideal depending on your swing radius in an 8 x 10 foot room. I have brought mine indoor for the season and that's the dimensions of the area of the room I sat it up in.

I suppose it depends on how much space you have between post and swinging gate?

To agree with the other comments, you will only need just a tad bit more room. You will be swinging a jump rope and in a couple of instances you will be doing broad jumps.

Physics. I have has 200 lbs in the swing and did not feel at all nervous about the sway in the frame...but there sill be some natural movement. As long as you have the poles clicked together and you have a flat stable ground you should be fine.

With sand in the lower room it's a little over three feet (guessing). Our 3 year old grandson plays in it all the time. The upper room is about the same at the doorways, higher in the middle because of the peak of the roof. Kids from 5 to 2 have a blast on the swingset. I lowered all the swings with short chains and quick links from the hardware store.

Unfortunately, no. It would be too uncomfortable for the swings. Not too heavy.

Im not sure of the radius. The swing was pretty big....it held me and my 2 nieces. The swing is at my mothers house. From what I remember the swing kinda swings all directions so I'm not sure if hanging another swing would be safe. Hope this helped a little.

Yes. You need to be careful that it cannot swing into any other part of the swingset.give it plenty of space so that it can move side to side widely and front to back widely.

This information is on the hanging instruction sheet that comes with the swing. I think it was 18-24 inches - if it's too high, kids can't get on by themselves.

The base isn't big . How much space do you have ? Because you do need some wiggle room

Once assembled you can collapse the legs on the swing but it is still a little bulky...

We were not able to hang our swing on an existing swing set or any of our trees. It is big. We are going to have to build a frame to hold it.
