Can this be hung from a tree branch?

Why not? I did, of course it's a good strong branch that will hold at least two adults in the swing. I threaded my chain through some tubing (plumbing) to keep the chain from wearing into the branch.

Email Kilmer Creek directly. They are very good at responding to questions. I did this on two occasions and received and answer within a day! Great swing!

I said no and my husband said yes. He also stated that it depended on the strength of the branch and you could use the chains etc that come with it. I wouldn't use the chains as they would eat into the bark of the branch and eventually harm it. It is your swing and your tree so you will decide anyway. You got two versions with us.

If the tree branch is strong enough and you make allowance for the attachment to the branch - the chain provided does not provide eyehooks to the existing structure/tree. By the way, we love ours.

I guess it's possible but you would have to screw the eye bolts into the tree branch. Not sure it's healthy for the tree.

I would imagine so. Frankly, the characteristics of the tree branch will have more to do with this than the swing. Is the branch strong enough? High enough? Do you have a good way of attaching it without harming the tree?

Yes it can be. There is a hole in the back allowing it to be hung with a nail. It can also run on batteries if there is not an outlet nearby the location you'd like to hang it.

Ours is hanging from a very tall oak tree with extra rope that hooks over our tree limb. I would assume it could be tied to anything.

Not really. It is set-up for attaching to a swing set. If there were toggle bolts into the tree you could attach it.

The ropes are long (so could hang from a high tree or swing set), but attach with hooks at the top. If you hang it using the full length of the rope, it would be no big deal, but we had to loop ours around a few times in order to make it the right length. The hooks are great, you just have to make it the right length first.

I would think that you could attach it to a strong tree. The only thing that comes with the swing is the chain. We needed to buy the s-hooks to attach. Hope that was helpful. Nice sturdy swing:)

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. There is a hinged loop on the back of the bat house very similar to the back of a picture frame. This can be used for hanging on a tree just as it would for a wooden post.

Yes it can hang from a tree it has a pretty big hook on it. Yes it does have Wild Bill logo on it.

no one knows how or where you will want it hung. so they don't provide any thing extra except for short piece's of rope. maybe you have trees to hang it from, or patio posts or wall mount anchors like i used for two contact points and two tress for the other end.use longer ropes. i used garage door lift wire for one end to a tree because s red squirrel chewed thru it to get the rope for its nest

The swing has thick S-hooks to hang it from rings. I'm sure you could figure out a way to hang it from a branch, but it would take some creativity - and safety checking!

ive got mine hanging from a tree branch, the branch is about 12 off the off the ground

It could be hung with whatever as long as the cord is sturdy enough to hold the weight of the people using it and is anchored properly on the posts/tree.

We did not hang it on a tree, but rather on two hooks. Each rope end is a loop at the top, and the bottom ends are not cut so the rope forms a u-shape at the bottom. We used it as a rope ladder up into a playhouse that sits about 5 feet off the ground. We had to secure the bottom of the ladder to the tree because we haven't had time to anchor using concrete/hooks. Otherwise, it works fine. Will likely last longer indoors as we are seeing tiny cracks in the wood dowels now after about 6 months.

As long as the tree is sturdy, shouldn't be an issue. You'll need to supply all the attachment hardware; chain and bolts to secure the chain to the branch. The swing only comes with the rope and hooks shown in the pic.

I do not see why not, it's not equipped to hung however I'm sure it's possible

I would think you could. Make sure the branch is strong enough. I hang mine from a 6x6. I also use springs on the top ends of the chains which a totally different ride.
