How long are the ropes on this swing? I see that it says 14 for the height but I wasn't sure if that meant 14ft ropes or a 14" seat.

The seat is 14 inches. The ropes are about 4 feet long plus a fixed (meaning non-removeable) 6 inch hanging hook (S hook on pulley wheel).

The ropes are 4-5 feet long each side. It's raining so I can't go measure. The seat is 14".

Our rope is 5.5 feet, but we put a knot in the rope to shorten it - so maybe it is 6 feet. The branch we used was low enough it didn't need extending, but if you do extend it I suggest you use rope from a place that sells rope for mountain climbers, not from a hardware store. I wouldn't recommend this as a swing that swings high on a long rope. Low and slow is the rule here, but we have ours hanging from one point and have a swivel on it so you can spin. I feel the width is such that a child cannot keep a good grip and seat needed for high swinging safely. And if more than one child is on the swing, that just creates more problems if swinging high.

I just went outside to check mine for you. It has six holes on each side to adjust for hammock size/height from the ground. The hammock it came with is approximately 11 feet including the ropes. I have mine set to the second hole on each side. The sixth and last hole is approximately sixteen inches lower than the second hole. I suppose that means you could have about 32 more inches of hammock and it would hang about as high as mine does (it's fairly close to the ground). Hope that helps!

For the regular swing we need 4 ft. My daughter swings it the full extent of the chain in front and back. The net swing is more of a relaxed sway and shorter range. Hope this helps :-)

My son said it's about 6 feet. Not sure how accurate that is but he has hung it around two medium size trees. However he recommends having a longer rope

The legs only swing in and out. From the foot rest to the seat it's approximately 14 inches.

Yes, it is 8' long. I think the manufacturer suggests between 42" and 52" so that someone doesn't install it at too steep of an elevation and risk injury. I attached mine to a landing on a swing set that was right at 50" high or so, and that was perfect. I would think that anything above the recommended would be a little steep. The bottom of the slide isn't that high off of the ground (like a standard schoolyard slide), so unless you have a soft area at the end of the slide, I wouldn't make it too steep.

Three people can sit comfortably on the swing. I purchased the swing last year as a Father's Day gift for my husband and we enjoy it almost every day! The swing is 5 ft. or 60 inches long. We really love the swing--it is well-made, comfortable and looks lovely. I don't think you would be disappointed with it.

The ropes that attach to the swing all come together in an 'eye' ring. You can easily add more rope at that point to extend the length as long as you need to. It is really well built!

I would say 3 feet. Adults don't go wild on this type of swing. You could probably use less

You also have to look at how high the seat of the chair you will be sitting is. I have 32 inches of play on the rope.

It is actually only 4 inches long... not 14. These work great by-the-way... I use them on my flag pole. Bought several extras in case of failure.. but so far none have failes. Regards, Mike

The measurement on the diagonal is 115 inches. At this length the ropes are stretched tight. I don't think I could get it to stretch to 125 inches. I must add that this is the best clothes line that we have ever found. We purchased one for ourselves and liked it so much that we purchased a second one for our rental. It is very well built and survives our 30 mph winds with no bending out of shape.

Your height isn't a determining facter but the 1.5 inch rope should be just fine. You can do so many things with these ropes. They are the best!

About 34" including S hook. We added more chain to get the length we wanted. Great swing! My son loves it!

We order these from a distributor so we cannot measure this part of the set. But in total its 13.5 ft long so the swing part should be around 7.5-8ft from pole to pole.

There is no rope with this swing. It has a large O-ring at the top that you attached a chain or cable to. We hung ours from a branch about 20 ft high. We attached a nylon strap ( bought through Amazon just for tree swings ) around the branch. We used a coated cable purchased at a hardware store for the "rope" and put a small length of chain at the end so we could adjust the height as the kids grew. We also purchased the Black Diamond swivel and carabiner clip as well. This allowed the swing to spin and the clip what attaches it all to the o-ring at the top of the swing. Enjoy ! Everyone that comes to our house, grown as well, can't stay off of it !!
