How high should the swing be placed off the ground? How easy is it to set up?

A high sturdy Oak works well The higher and wider ride the better think big pendulum and they will love it!

We love this swing. We had no problem setting it up with a couple of Caribinders You can get them at the hardware store they clip onto any eye hook in the swingset or a ceiling beam. Ours is actually indoors, since we use it for our autistic son. We keep ours about a foot and a half off the ground and it works great.

Very easy to set up. The hard part for us was getting the rope over a very high tree branch but the swing itself was a piece of cake. It's all one piece. Swing should be high enough for leg clearance but low enough so your kids can get on by themselves

I hung mine about 2.5 fit from ground to enable my daughter to get on/push off with her feet and allow for slack from branch. It was easy to hang, after determining which tree branch to use. I used tow straps around the branch, then hung the swing. My daughter loves it.

18 inches. You want the kids to be able to hop on themselves. It took my husband awhile to hang but that is probably more due to him than the swing.

I have to tell you, I'm a grandmother who has a 55' zip line, the triple ladder, a low protected trampoline in the backyard and STILL this swing is the children's favorite. The height from the ground had to depend upon the height of the children using it. That is if you don't want to have to 'help them on' everytime. I have a 5 yr old and a 3 yr old and I placed mine 1 1/2' off the ground. The higher you can hang it the better. I have mine hung 25' up but am going to hang it higher as soon as possible.Good Luck!! They are gonna really enjoy this swing

The swing doesn't come with the hardware to hang it. So, we used one of those metal clips used for rock climbing. We got it at a sporting goods store for ten bucks. This way the swing is not embedded into the tree, but rather hanging from it, which is important to us. We set our swing about 2 1/2 feet off the ground so that my 3 year old can climb in and out of the swing with minimal effort. It can be as low to the ground as you want. Set up was super easy once we bought the clip. The swing comes fully assembled.

We put ours in a tall tree. We also have it low enough that the kids can get on themselves. My husband used a tall ladder and additional rope to hang the swing from a sturdy limb.

Bought for my grandson in nyI think the swingset i added to was about 4ft high. The slide slope seemed fine. Before we ordered we spoke to the manufacturer and they were great. Shipped immediately so i could install for grandson before we left town. Hope that helps. Richard

You can set it up in multiple ways. We have it set up with a steep hill and it is about one foot by three feet and about 18" - 24" tall at its tallest part.

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

setting this on top of a stump or small ladder 2-3 feet from the ground is the way we use it. It is very low should you set this on the ground. But, we are finding the target very useful and enjoyable. A smart use of your money!

With sand in the lower room it's a little over three feet (guessing). Our 3 year old grandson plays in it all the time. The upper room is about the same at the doorways, higher in the middle because of the peak of the roof. Kids from 5 to 2 have a blast on the swingset. I lowered all the swings with short chains and quick links from the hardware store.

I do not no the answer to your questions, sorry. But I must say I am happy with the swing for the price. I have it on a sceened-in porch.

I feel the tree branch is strong enough to support however much weight you will have on your swing , think it will work. You should be able to use anchors that come with it.

This information is on the hanging instruction sheet that comes with the swing. I think it was 18-24 inches - if it's too high, kids can't get on by themselves.

The first time we set it up, we had a little trouble but once we figured it out, it was very easy...maybe not a minute, but definitely under five minutes. It's a good first tent because it is already put together. You just have to raise it. Good luck and enjoy!

It doesn't really swing. Once it is set up there isn't that much slack, but it is really comfortable. It was a gift for my husband and he loves it! Exactly what we were looking for. Quick and simple to set up and take down.

Very easy! We took 2 of the swings off and put on an infant swing and glider. Its all hooks so you shouldn't have any problems.

I'd say about 7.5 feet high for the swing bar. Our son is 10 and he loves how high it goes.

We had a pretty level area, so we just put down a tarp and set up, maybe 30 min. The ground cover is a option... we thought it came in the box, but when you read instructions it says optional.... so we put tarp to add protection. We were so surprised at how easy and how great it turned out, kind of amazing, we love it!

I guess the cumulative weight we've put on the swing must be close to 200 lbs. with no problems. See the photo.

I had no problem setting it up. Although it has small wheels, it wouldn't be particularly easy to move, especially for one person. My advice: set it up yourself or by one of their technicians, but find a place to use it and leave it there.
