How have others hung it from a tree branch?

Single mid weight rope. Boating rope works well. Noose style knot or figure eight for each end to hook swing clips too. Loop the middle in a girth hitch knot over the branch, spreading out to desired width, and leaving the two ends dangling to hook clips to. Or you can just do two single ropes or chains.

I hung mine from a small chain. You can remove the clip to install a chain.

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.

It comes with these screw hooks that you could screw into the tree and then you could make a small loop at the end of the line (you can cut it if it's too long) and fasten it using the clamps they provide in the kit. The way we did it was to loop it around the tree once, and then fasten the end back to the line using the clamp

I reread the installation options and maybe you could stick a branch in the hole in the base? But truly, I never tried to mount it from a tree.

With a plant hook. It's actually very lightweight . It can be hung from drywall with a fairly lightweight hook.

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

Depends on your situation....I used two carabiners and hooks on the house side and a long rope to reach a tree across the yard for the last corner.

Mine is hanging from a tree branch outside in southern california, semiarid climate, & is fine.

Well I guess if you try hard enough you could hang it anywhere. It's made to attach to a swing set cross bar if the tree branch was straight there is enough of the cool covered chain you could hang it.

We don't have a tree but rather an arbor-type structure. My husband used really long eye bolts and attached them to the overhead boards then secured the eye bolts with a washer and screw nut. I believe that if you had a heavy chain that could wrap around the branch of the tree you wanted to use you could then just hook the swing on to the chain with the "hook" that comes with the swing. I can honestly tell you that this has been a big hit with our 4 & 2 year old grand kids. I have put pillows on the swing, they laid down and both fell asleep while I sat in a chair swinging them. This has happened a half dozen times. I can see years of fun with the swing. Hope this helps.

I hung mine on a tree branch. Guess you could hang it on a patio with some type of hanger.

My husband looped it over the branch and put an S hook through the chain to attach it. Hope this helps

I'm sorry I don't know my hammock hangs from a tree. It is a very comfortable hammock if that helps

We did not evaluate it for hanging anywhere except a door facing, but there should be someway to secure it to a tree branch. Perhaps the manufacturer could provide some guidance.

I actually hung it on a tree and you could hang it on a branch as well but it'd have to be a bigger branch or the house will sway too much in wind.

It would be hard to hang because the roof is tin. I think it would be kind of heavy for a branch. We put ours on a tree stump and it looks great. It is a neat birdhouse.
