Would this rope be useable to make a tire swing?

Not sure this is the right answer but I don't see why not. The biggest obvious issue would be just like if you were using it as a tow rope would be weight load issue. This rope is rated for two people with a max weight somewhere in the low 300lbs. Don't know exact manu. specs. I would check into that! Hope this helps

well,water tubes put up a lot of resistance.so,i would say yes.but,i would never trust a rope to rub directly on a tree limb!

Couldn't say, you should really use Hemp Rope for a tire swing, visit your hardware store.

Yes, but not the hardware needed for installing on tree! Rope is high quality and U.V. Protected.

I'm not sure, I use it to cut styrofoam , but if the rope is plastic fibers I don't see why not, but I noticed when I cut through thick styrofoam I have to cut very slow to get through.

I also have a tree swing, but it uses a different strap system. These tree straps depend on weight to grip and tighten around the tree trunk. A swing uses a horizontal branch which is usually smaller in diameter. I'll say yes as long as you attach the swing to both ends of the strap.

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.

You could as long as you have some kind of mount on the tree. this just has plain chains on both sides made to connect to the swing with hooks or carbiners.

Absolutely. I would not use this as a 'trick' rope i.e. crossovers, etc. But if you're just looking to do standard single understand, double understand, and alternating leg this is a solid jump rope.

I actually got it for my niece so I'm not sure. I would imagine so though, you would probably just need to pull the rope through more and tie the rope in a large knot at the point where you'd want it to stop.

I would imagine so. Frankly, the characteristics of the tree branch will have more to do with this than the swing. Is the branch strong enough? High enough? Do you have a good way of attaching it without harming the tree?

I would think you might be able to use it in an absolute emergency to get down from somewhere. I would never use it as a mountain climbing rope though. It's about a quarter inch thick

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

Yes, it can. Actually we first considered putting in a tire swing, but opted for Wjirl and Twirl instead. Kids can hang from it, swing their bodies back and forth, and spin their bodies around on it. Kids can also do chin lifts from it when they develop enough upper body strength. At first it was a little bit of a challenge for my 5-year old, but he loves it and is quickly learning ways to maneuver himself on it. It has a large, secure bolt that secures it from the structure that you choose. Ours is hanging from a tree branch. There is a chain that is attached to the bolt which can be adjusted to suit the appropriate height for your child. So, yes, I think it works in lieu of a tire swing. Yes, it can.

I would say no as the target is for use in a gym. The construction is not all that sturdy and the material is a bit light. Of course, asking the manufacturer would yield the most accurate answer. But owning it and using it myself I'd say the rope wouldn't fair well being stored outside.

The industry standard on swings is 125lbs. I would not exceed that guideline on any roped item

That would work fine. The fibers are a little rough but the more you use it the more supple it will become. We used it for a tree swing

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.

I never tried that with any thing other than rope. It might work. It's quite flexible material.
