The rope will hold your weight but be careful about leaving it outside in the weather a braided marine line would last longer.

Yes, but I would not recommend using Manila rope for an outside swing. Manila weakens and rots over time due to rain, moisture, UV. One day a year or two from now, you'll climb on the swing, get up to max height and the rope will break - there goes your back, an arm, or a pelvic bone. Use a rope rated for outside or marine(water) applications - nylon maybe. Use 1" or 2" dia. Be safe - especially if children may use the swing.

Most definitely. We used it to create a rope ladder and the guy who had to climb it every night weighed at least that much. If you intend to leave it out in the weather year round, it may degrade like all ropes with moisture and temperature changes.

Sure, but it is all natural fiber, so it will decompose over time. Actually, nylon rope breaks down as well -- point is, at some point, after a while, replace the rope!

This should hold you. I would recommend buying a stronger like 500 lb paracord to be safe, but this should hold you. My rope tore so I gotparacord but I also am 6"3 235 lbs. I hope this helped!

Although I don't use it to climb, I have no doubts that it will easily hold 140 lbs. I use it for tree limb removal, where a large heavy limb is secured and then lowered after cutting. Most of those weigh over 140 lbs. Always check your ropes for fraying beforehand. Good luck.

I"m not sure but my boyfriend and I both sat in it with no problem - together we weigh about 325lbs - plus the swing itself is about 45lbs, I believe. I have to add, though, that we have it hung in a metal rack that previously held another swing we purchased years ago at Home Depot. The swing in that one had broken but the frame is still good so we simply hung this one in that. the weight it holds may depend on how you have it hung, too.

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.

I believe that it will. I weigh 350 and it doesn't bend when I use it. I would imagine that it will hold 375 no problem.

Sorry it took so long for me to respond. I weigh 226 and it will hold my weight. The only difficulty that I encountered is that the cross bar is about two inch square and it is a little difficult to hold on to while pulling up. I wear gloves and it makes it a little easier. Good luck.

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.

Swing for the trees Tarzan it'll hold. Unless your like 250+ then you might not want too but I'm only 150 and I was swinging far out on it just for fun.

Hi Carol. I have a 3yr old and a 9 year old and they have been enjoying it for 2 years. Me and my wife jump together once in a while and combine weight is around 250-260 and no problems. Don't forget to buy the anchors just to keep it in place during bad weather.

I weight 230, but just use it for box jumps only. Also use a good wood glue when constructing.

I'm not sure. I'm 260 and my son is about 35 lbs. It holds both of us fairly well (:

i would guess it will hold at least 250 pounds. I'm about 210 and there are no signs of weakness in the construction of the bench when I'm using it.

I'm not sure. But it is a STRONG swing. My grandson is 35 lbs. and he will be swinging in it for at least several more years...

Well between my wife and it will hold over 400 pounds with no problem. Great swing and love owning it

i bought the large last spring, inside the box it has a note about it capable of i believe 400lbs. i wonder if it is the xlarge that can hold 600, and the tree limb is my concern.....the swing rope is nylon strands which have been it looks like twisted...the ends are threaded thru a hole in the plastic ring(i think it is pvc type plastic)...that is the only place i could see a concern.....they look like they would withstand a lot of weight. the only ones that use it is my 60lb grandson and I.....BUT it is really fun!! we both love it!

I would not chance using this rope if you are asking about 140-200 lbs. personal safety. Mine broke when brand new. I am not sure how much weight I was trying to support. (removing tree limbs)
