I am excited to use this chair this year! We're going to hang it from a tall tree in our yard. Ideas about how to attach it? Thanks!

I drilled a hole in a substantial branch and used the eye hook provided.... I then used some liquid tree repair around the hole to be sure the tree stayed healthy at the drill spot ... What is harmful to a tree is to wrap or tie rope around branches; this chokes the branch off from the rest of the tree....

I love my chair too and used it a lot last summer. I actually have a stand for it on my deck.

I have mine hung on the porch as well but when I hang it in a tree I sling a piece of nylon webbing/strapping around the branch and then a rope down to the hook on the chair. In this way I can remove it easily and since it is not tied tightly around the branch it doesn't damage the tree. Also removing the strapping when not in use will help it last a lot longer than not. I have also used a piece of chain run through a length of old garden hose to protect the branch and it worked great but the heavy chain is not so portable.

I can't wait to hang ours on our porch. Large screw in hooks can damage trees. I have seen a a regular swing hung with thick strapping. An arborist may have a suggestion.

I ended up hanging mine from a tree branch with some chain. I don't see how you could attach it to a post unless you just sit it on top of one.

You could add a small piece of plywood or metal as an adaptor. It will raise the chair the height of the adaptor but it should work. I used 3/4" thick plywood when I mounted mine to the chair.

I see no way of securing it. We've just had some bad storms and heavy rain in the area; the bench sits out between two trees and flower pots and it has never tipped over. If someone wants it, it's a heavy piece to be taking. Not something you could easily carry off.

The best thing to do is buy a pull up bar that uses a door frame, and use the bar to hang the straps. A tree branch would also work, assuming it were sturdy enough.

Used some para cord looped over a tree branch then a simple S hook to hang the chair.

I believe you can mount it to a tree. It comes with very comprehensive instructions from what I remember. Very well made.

not sure but you would want your bottom to not be too close to ground when sitting so to sit say chair height and then the top ropes and be adjusted to what you are going to hang it from. I use beam from patio cover. Hope this helps, Denise

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 put mine under my weight tree and tightened the screw on it into the bottom leg. The weights from the tree have held it in place nicely.

I used an an (I-hook) and whatever length of light chain you may need and a quick link to hook the chain to the (I-hook) and chair ask about these things at a hardware store if your not familer with them. I hope this helped.

The seat hangs from the topportion. The entire top portipn mpves up the tree independantly from the bottpm. So on yhat way he can raise the top up as much as he likes. Even make his legs damgle if he wants

Dont things so. You need a tree located to certain distance or a hook, or something to hold the system

We used a wire cable like tie down (got it at Lowes). It`s pretty sturdy all by itself, BUT got the tie downs cause we live in Florida & can get high winds. Haven`t had any problems--love the arch!

That I can't answer as I have mine hung from a spring hook on our porch. It is a really comfortable chair to sit in and you can even pull the bottom of it out far enough you can put your legs and feet in it. I love mine.

It was in a reclining position when we hung it. I just tied knots in the rope at the top of the chair until I had it in an upright position. My niece has one and it is also in the reclining position.

The swing has thick S-hooks to hang it from rings. I'm sure you could figure out a way to hang it from a branch, but it would take some creativity - and safety checking!
