We hung our swing from the ceiling of an indoor play space. We used a 2 strap which worked well. Our straps are hooked on a heavy duty eye hook and 8 inch screw. Children love it.

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).

You need tree straps to go around the trees then you attach it to the straps. This hammock is very attractive however it is very unstable. You have to be very careful getting in or out.

yes. just use the strap that has two loops, one at either end, putting one end through the other loop and attatching the clip as usual. you could even use a sturdy tree branch, but CHECK IT CAREFULLY FIRST!

I have a single axis rotor helicopter and it also has one connect buckle on the rotor assembly, although it includes one in the spare parts kit. I never tried, but I think installing both connect buckles would be too rigid and might cause damage when spinning. I'll leave well enough alone.

I hung my swing on a tree branch. You have to buy additional chain and hardware to hang it but if done properly, it works just fine. I tried using part of a rubber hose to protect the tree but this prevented the swing from swinging more freely. I had to remove the hose for it to swing properly.

just the line and the ratcheting device. Nothing for the trees. You need to get that separate, or I've read in blogs that you could use pieces of old carpet to protect the tree.

I use two. one on each end of the hammock. Some tree straps need one on each end by the tree also.

The hammock does not require hardware to hang. It comes with tree straps that will work for small to mid size trees. For very large trees you may need to purchase the longer straps.

It comes with straps. Some improvisation may be in order depending on the tree; the straps are only so long, and may need some sticks to angle it just right. Purely a basic mechanical task.

I used a length of chain around the tree limb that I closed with a quick link, and then I also used a heavy duty climbing rotor and 2 carabiners to complete my installation. The first carabiner attaches to the top of the swing and joins the ropes coming up from the swing itself to the bottom of the rotor. The other carabiner attaches to the top of the rotor and then to the bottom of the chain hanging down from the tree limb. I also used a piece of heavy duty black rubber tubing between the tree limb and the chain in order to protect the branch.

Here's a cool way to to help with the sag. If you must buy tree straps then why make them single purposed? I bought 1" nylon webbing (1/2the price of slings) 2x 10 ft and used the hammocks included 550 for cordage. The webbing is super strong has a larger mass and less abrasive to the hammock. Thread in place of the 550 and when tearing down camp the webbing can be used for lashing and other as needed. Webbing I got is rated at 1k and is (with propper training) a very good self made rescue rappell harness or lanyard for gear in floating water crossings. Not bad multi use. Add two climbing rated carabiners and you have a system to hang hammock and many other uses. Here's a cool way to to help with the sag. If you must buy tree straps then why make them single purposed?

We bought a tree swing hanging kit for $46. It included two 3' straps and hardware. It made hanging the swing a lot easier and will be gentler on the tree limb. :)

The purchase includes only a hammock with S hooks at each end. You will have to either rig your own ropes or buy tree straps, I recommend the grand trunk straps because they are sturdy and very easy to use.

Mine came with s-hooks and a small amount of cord. The cord provided was not for tying the hammock to trees but was part of the s-hook system.

Yes, you do need hardware to hang on a tree. My suggestion to you would be to go to Lowe's. They deal with this all the time and can hand pick the items you need. This is what I did.

Yes, you need some rope to secure your Looj...mine has a remote command to control it forward and backward but it can get stuck in too much pine needles and then you need the rope to pull it back to you. I use a cheap plastic cord.(RED) 100 Yards per Roll PLASTIC CORDING Gimp Lacing Cord for Jewelry, Beads and Plaiting Crafts - 1 Roll Plastic Cord - COLOR RED -
