Can you use this swing hanging off a wood patio cover? We currently have a baby/toddler swing attached off patio cover, fun!

We actually hung ours in a tree, since there was not a swing set. Of course we looped some chain on the branch for the glider to hook to rather than the branch itself.

It has two metal S hooks so you just have to buy some chain to throw over a tree branch. We also used 2 metal rings to make secure the ends of the two chains over the branch so they couldn't slide off. It works fine and is very secure, but since the branch slants up a bit, the swing swings at. A bit of an angle. Not a safety problem, but sort of annoying. Don't think the baby cares at all.

No i don't think so. I got this for a vacation house where it will hang from long chains. We took down the wooden swing that was always nearly bashing little ones in the head. But we have not hung the soft swing yet because my husband bought s hangers i thought were too flimsy. They are readily available, we just keep forgetting. And when you don't have the chain with you when you are shopping you coukd easily get s hooks that were too big to fit into the chain. Probably more than you wanted ti know.

Personally, I would no as it may weaken the tree branch. Most if the tree swings I have seen have rope handles and something to protect the tree as it wraps around. Also, these are machine screws, not intended to drive into wood.

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.

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.

Yes it can. Ours was hung in place of a regular swing. We have had it 2 years on our community play ground and it has held up great.

Yes, ours is hung from a tree by a nylon rope. The rope is looped around the tree, then fastened to the hanger at the top of the swing. Works great.

I purchased the hanging kit that was advertised with the swing. My son-in-law hung it on a tree branch with no problems. I believe you can adjust it so the swing will be flat.

You could hang it from a swing set, but it is wider than most swing set seats. This swing has been a big hit with my grandchildren and great nieces/nephews (ages 2-12 yrs) and I have more than gotten my money's worth of use out of it.

We hung ours from a tree it swings. This is not a swing that can stand still it goes back a good foot and a half when swinging on it.I did have to stain it 3 times and then polyurethane it a couple times.

I don't think you can, the swing comes with 2 rope adt. I just put 2 ropes on the tree and attached the swing

It attaches by two hooks/rings. We have ours on a wooden swing set so there is no bar. You should be able to hang it from a wooden deck using strong screw hooks. Just make sure they're strong enough and securely fastened into the deck plank.

Honestly, I didn't really use it that much. My baby didn't like it as much as I liked it. Lol it's good if you have the space but I would probably just buy a smaller swing. The only reason I bought it because I knew about it back when I was home. I'm from the Philippines and this is how we put our babies to sleep.

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.

I think it would depend on the child's height. Some of the attachments may be too short. (Particularly the rope and rings) The swing should be okay though.

I can only tell you this: we have a wooden porch swing with the wooden cross bar it is attached to. For when our grandtwins are here, we removed the porch swing, attached these screws to the wooden cross bar and used them to hang the plastic swing for toddlers. Then when the grand twins return home (a long way away), we just re-hang our porch swing back on its hanger things. Hope that helps
