Proper use for this is ONLY around the tree trunk, or can you use them over one very sturdy limb (swing style)?

Actually the ties are excellent. We have them attached to some wood pillars we have in the backyard. They holds all the weight we have put on it, and that's a lot!!! I'm glad I bought them. I wasn't going to at first but then I decided we needed them & boy am I glad I did. Wonderful product.

I don't see any reason why it couldn't be used to wrap around a strong limb. i use it for hammock camping where I'm in it all night. I notice these do stretch. i recommend a easy system to adjust tension. I use a whoopie sling. google that. Its basically a rope thats inside a rope and squeezes like a chinese finger. If it looks like that you got the right one. If still ask again and I'll try to find where I bought it.

You can certain use them around a limb--whether the limb will support your weight is another question.

Yes, however common sense and caution are paramount in those cases. I have both a tree and playground equipment in my yard. I would use a very thick tree branch if that was the only option. Playground equipment can be flimsy, so I would be especially wary.

These are 14 inches around. I would think if your tree is bigger than that you should be able to simply put one around from one side and another from the other overlapping them or if they are still too small put a third one on and tie them together with something.

I think it depends on where you are going to hang it. We have ours in a tree so I purchased heavy duty straps to go around the limb and hung from those with a swivel hook. Hope this helps.

The limbs will hold up in any kind of weather. No need to worry about splittin or breaking.

These are for a tire swing that has three chains. If you have a two chained tire swing you can use swing hangers. These mount under your deck and the chains of the tire swing attach to the swivel. You should not use this on a single beam unless you have proper bracing. You also do not want to have this next to any other swings.

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.

I don't see why not as long as you have a very strong branch, remember your weight or the weight of kids could break the branch, I prefer the metal curved pole with three wide set legs, you can move this around and place it where you want.

Yes we have ours hung by a tree. Just have to adjust it so its even. We used a nylon rope to extend the leads from the swing so its lower to the ground since the tree branch is higher up and a thicker limb.

Unfortunately, no. There are two small ribbons that velcro to the back of the tree. So it's just there for looks. It does seem that you could use fix the swing to the tree with thicker string, and some of the spare screws that come with the kit.

We attached it with a chain that went around the tree branch but found we needed to pad the tree branch to prevent damage to the tree. We also used a connector that swivels so the chair can spin freely. The fabric of the chair is not actually meant to be out in the weather, but our leaf canopy is thick enough that it has stayed in good shape for us.

They are very heavy duty. Would be overkill for a swing set. They would work but I would get a single bolt hanger.

they are flat - so if you are able to attach them at the flattest part of the trunk. I would suggest using 3 inch screws. Should work ok. I've had mine outdoors for 3 years. durable.

you might could set it on a branch but you would have to find a way to attach it- the "wind action" doesn't really work

these have been quite sturdy for me. i find a tree with very course bark and loop it around, setting the end closer to the hammock lower then the one facing away. It always holds for me. Using these incorrectly, say with a wooden beam with sharp corners, may cause damage, but this is only an assumption, and not one i wish to test.

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. :)

Yes, I used a tree, but you can just knot the rope around the top bar of a swing set.
