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

If you have it attached to the tree with a single rope attached to a hook that's why it twists. You would have to attach it to the tree with 2 ropes if u want to swing.

The length of line provided should be enough which will stop the chair from twisting. By adding extra rope that is not similar to the existing line may also contribute to your problem of twisting because rope may cause an embalance. Another remedy may be to invest in the chair hammock stand if you have the space for one or try hanging it from a very sturdy beam. I hope this info helps so you can enjoy your chair, i certainly enjoy mine.

I forgot up mention that we also bought a clamp to hook the end of the chain that was around the limb to another link in the chain to secure the chain around the limb. Forgot the exact name of this type of clamp but again make sure it fits through the links on the chain.

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. We used a very heavy duty chain.

I ordered the New Steel "C" Stand for Hammock Air Chairs Hanging Chair Hammock Stand to hang the chair instead of hanging it from a tree, as I don't have a convenient tree. I also ordered the Hammaka Hammock Chair Spring to hang it from. The chair spring might solve your problem.

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.

The product info on the page says, "holds up to 250 lbs". That's the rope strength... you also need a tree branch that will support that much weight first and a tree strap to attach to the swing ropes and go around the tree branch.On our pecan tree, the branch is fine with our 3 kids on it together, but they only weigh 100 pounds total. When I sit on it, I notice a more sway on our branch, so I leave it for the kids. But we've had 5 young kids on at one time and it was fine.

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 bought a tree swing hanging kit for $46. It included two 3' straps and hardware. It made hanging the swing a lot easier and will be gentler on the tree limb. :)

The rope is one long piece that runs up one side and loops down the other (which gives you a loop at the top of the ladder). You put the top of the ladder over the limb and thread the bottom of the ladder through the top loop and pull it tight. Did I explain that well enough? There are no other attachments. Note: I added a picture to the product page that shows how it attaches to the tree.

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

you an stick a pole underneath the base or some how secure it in a tree from base, yes, it won't hang from a treebecause the head is attached only by a loose spring to make it wobble in the wind. Trick is to attach it to a wooden dowelor some sort from underneath (like a coin bank with stopper kind of set up, maybe a round hole about 2 inches in diameter).

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.

It comes with some thick rope to tie around a tree. It's not very long, so I used some para cord (also 550 cord or nylon cord) and it held the weight of two adults quite well.

HI!! I have not had to buy rope for my cat tree yet, but I will soon need to. I would like to know where you bought yours? Sorry i could not be more help..:(

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.

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

You can attach the swing to a single rope line hanging from the ceiling with an 'S' hook attached to the 'O' ring at the top of the rope cord that comes with the swing. But make sure you hang the swing from a 'main' beam in your ceiling because sheetrock is not nearly strong enough to hold the weight of a person sitting in the swing. I have 2 of these swings hanging from a very large tree branch in my yard.

We actually hung ours in a tree, since there was not a swing set. Of course we looped some chain on the branch for the glider to hook to rather than the branch itself.

My rope broke the first week I had it. I would go to a fabric store and try to find something similar to it and staple it to the tree.Its just an Idea.
