Can you attach this swing hanger to a tree? We have a great tree in the backyard we would love to put a swing on. Would this work?

Personally, I would no as it may weaken the tree branch. Most if the tree swings I have seen have rope handles and something to protect the tree as it wraps around. Also, these are machine screws, not intended to drive into wood.

This device requires you to drill through wood to secure and the wood has to be at certain thickness. I would think it may not work. This device is designed for the gym set made by the same company. I regretted buying it because I do not own the set. I made it work. The Amazon description should have warned you but it does not mention that.

I don't think so. You would have to drill two holes through the limb and probably would destroy the tree. Why not use a chain that has been wrapped to be smooth? I remember my Dad used to bring a chain that had a big ring on the end of it when we went on picnics. He'd throw the ring end over the branch and pull the rest of the chain thru it. Then you could add hooks to it to support the swing.

We hung our HugglePod outside from a tree branch. We used the 2" nylon strap and metal loop that came with it to wrap around the tree branch twice. We then connected a metal chain to the metal loop to lower the swing to the height we wanted and connected it to the chain with a quick link. That way we can unscrew the quick link and take the swing down or move it to another location when we want.

I don't see a way to hook the swing to the frame. The swing comes with large hooks that take more than an eye bolt. The swing hooks are as thick as my finger, so need a pretty large eye. You can always take the hooks off the chains. I have pictures of mine in use if you're interested...I really like it and this is a couple of seasons later. I think the frame would work if you modify the hook area though.

I don't think you could screw these to a tree, the plastic would crack. You could screw a small strp of wood to a tree and then stick them to the wood.TThey would be great sticking to a bunch of trees on your. yard, especially if the trees are bunched together.

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

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.

Yes, you can attach to a branch. Obviously make sure your branch is big enough to support your weight doubled. The hinge you will need I found at Ace hardware may also be at Home Depot etc., anyway, the type that is about an 8 inch bolt, to go through the branch. Straight up and down, then use a large 1", "fender washer" on top. This hinge will be labeled swing hinge and has a nylon grommet on bottom. There will be a type next to it, in store, that has large lag bolt, this is for regular milled wood not live wood.

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.

It attaches by two hooks/rings. We have ours on a wooden swing set so there is no bar. You should be able to hang it from a wooden deck using strong screw hooks. Just make sure they're strong enough and securely fastened into the deck plank.

It doesn't hang in a tree. It is meant for decoration purposes only. But when we received ours, it was mostly destroyed in shipping (not packed very well). I believe other people had the same issue. We sent it back right away for a full refund.

Yes, it could be attached to a tree. We bought it to go with the swingset we purchased for the grandkids, since they only had a swing attached to a tree.

Yes make sure tree will support you. We have a stand for our swing so it can be used in several locations if you want to move it.

Yes, you can hang it from a tree outside however, you should probably not leave it exposed to the elements.

Yo may need to purchase a longer chain to wrap around your tree or drill/screw in your hooks into the tree. The problem you are facing is the right amount of distance between the trees for it to hang properly.

There are some hooks you can buy that screw into the wood beams, and then you can hang the swing. When you go to home depot ask someone there. Explain about putting up the swing, someone will point you in the direction of what you need to buy. Thats what I did.

It can't be hung unless you rig up a way to hang it. There is a place in back to anchor it on a pole or tree. I made a platform to screw it on top of a pole.

Not really. It is set-up for attaching to a swing set. If there were toggle bolts into the tree you could attach it.
