i just bought this & I plan to hang a tire swing (connected by 2 chains-unsure if this is relevant) in my loft w/ wood beams. What hardware do I buy?!

A 2 1/2 to 3 in. lag bolt works great. I used a washer as well, but probably not necessary. Have fun!

Bolts with nuts and washers are more secure than lag bolts (screwed in). This means that you have to have access to the upper side of the beam. If this is not possible, then perhaps this could be accomplished by boring a large hole through the side of the beam, the nut could be fed in (like Ikea furniture) and the bolt screwed into the nut.

We screwed ours into a 2X8 board that was anchored to the wall with 3" lug bolts in our garage. You should check the weight load of the butterfly bolts but I would err on the side of caution. If you want to be sure then be sure that the tools and equipment can bear the load. Also you might want to check with a local bike store, they have loads of experience and information. Good luck.

What will I be hanging this on or from? I hung mine from a tree it's pretty big and the rope is long. All I need was a 2 foot chain link to connect around the tree with.

The hooks should be installed into the beams with suitable eye bolt hangers. you can find these pretty cheap at a hardware store use Zinc coated if this is outside to prevent corrosion.Other than that just follow the instruction in the box.

Good morning, Jaqunda. The swing comes with 4' hanging chains. The hanging hardware is not included. I hope you find this information helpful. Adreanna, Plow & Hearth Customer Service

Hanging the swing requires screwing and/or bolting a large sturdy hook into a beam. I had purchased what I thought would work, and called on my handyman to install it. He said what I had was not strong enough. So he got a threaded bolt with a hook on one end. He drilled through the beam, inserted the hook with the open end at the top, and tightened the bolt on the other side of the beam. It works fine. I had also purchased - from Amazon - a metal swivel device, but didn't use it. It provided too much motion for my swinging pleasure. Hope this helps.

We hung ours to an existing wooden swing set. It comes with two snap hook connectors that connects the two black ropes together on each side. We had to add chains to each side to lower the swing down, because the black ropes aren't long enough to hang from the frame on our swing set. That might be the only thing you have to add. Hope this helps!

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!

My bolts are 60" apart, but the hardware that comes with the swing won't hook onto the eye bolt. I don't know the correct terminology, but the hardware coming from the chain is a swivel eye bolt that the bolt coming from the ceiling hooks through.

I bought a set of heavy duty anchors with the swing but ended up just using the screw anchors that came with the swing. We have the swing hanging on our porch and I some hard points built into the porch ceiling when we had the house built.

You need strong hooks that are well anchored to hang it from. I hung it on the swing set but I guess you could drill the hooks under a deck. Just be sure they won't come out if someone more than 50 pounds tries to swing on it.

You would need the eye screws that go into a beam. Someone at Home Depot could help you easily and it should be pretty inexpensive. I would wait to get it though so you can make sure the swing clips for the screws.

I hung mine under my back porch roof. If you buy two screw eye hooks, you'll be able to hang the swing. However, when I did that, I found that the swing wasn't low enough for me to lift my granddaughter into it; so I bought two 12" pieces of chain at Lowes and two carabiners (to hook the chains into the screw eye hooks). That worked perfectly, and my granddaughter loves the swing! The screw eye hooks, chain, and carabiners I bought are fairly heavy duty. Just make sure they fit together, and also make sure that the carabiners that come attached to the ropes on the swing fit into the chain links.

Dear Natalie, This swing comes with the rope, but not the mounting hardware. The mounting hardware can be purchased through your local hardware store. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance. Melissa ~Plow & Hearth Customer Service

That is something you'd have to buy on your own. You don't have to buy their hardware either. Besides, it's too expensive for that little thing. Any hardware store will have something you can mount on a beam. You can hook the trx to just about anything. I hope this helps. Save your money =)

other than the yellow chain it does not come with any hardware. i used it on a swingset and had to buy 2 heavy duty S hooks. you would need to buy hardware for the tree separately.

no wayon the pair of chains ques. You definately should and would want a chain per eye bolt. !) to keep the rack level and 2) less wear n tear on ceiling. the weight should be disperssed evenly or your hole into ceiling will have to much weight if you only use 2 holes instead of four. It has been great for me I love it! lots of compliments ;) you definately want it to be secure. I have a couple of Cast Iron pans hanging also, so better safe than sorry, right! Good Luck
