You list your large swing as capable of 600+ lbs. which I guess is based on the rope strength. How about this swing ? Thank you-

i bought the large last spring, inside the box it has a note about it capable of i believe 400lbs. i wonder if it is the xlarge that can hold 600, and the tree limb is my concern.....the swing rope is nylon strands which have been it looks like twisted...the ends are threaded thru a hole in the plastic ring(i think it is pvc type plastic)...that is the only place i could see a concern.....they look like they would withstand a lot of weight. the only ones that use it is my 60lb grandson and I.....BUT it is really fun!! we both love it!

We have built one of the swing and slide kits and this large swing is one of the options we chose. Two of our grandchildren have been on this swing at the same time. My grandson is three and Spider Man is his favorite. He was a little leery of this swing until I shown him it was Spidey's Web. He thinks this is great. His mother has also tried it out and so have I. Its a big hit. We also laid a blanket on the base. This is very comfortable.

It seems extremely strong. The swing and the rope are both intertwined. .. I'm not sure if this answers your question or not?

I do not know personally if it holds 600 lbs but I know it will up to 300. mostly the children get on it. They will put as many as will fit on it and have a blast. my grandson loves to stand on it and swing. ours does not spin but it would probably be great fun if it did. definitely worth the money I spent as it is well used.

It depends on the hardware that you use to install the swing. I went to ace hardware and with the hardwRe I purchased it holds at least 250lbs.

I would also highly recommend the swing. The rope included is very sturdy. I have even gotten on the swing myself to show my daughter how to use it (she is only 4) and had no concerns. Our swing is connected to a swingset, however, so I cannot comment on adding additional rope / chain.

All three of my kids (120lbs, 90lbs, 50lbs) have been on the swing. The swing supports them very well, it's finding rope/wire/chain that doesn't break after a couple of weeks of crazy swinging. Of course a branch or structure that is strong enough is important too. It's a great swing, they love it!

I agree with many others. With my first child, the swing stopped reliably working around 16lbs. It would slow down and stop if his weight was at all unbalanced in the swing, so we packed it up. We now have a 13lb. baby and I'm already seeing it stop sometimes. I can usually restart it by turning it off and then back on again, but I think it highly unlikely that a baby over 20lbs. could use it for long!

Purchased 5' swing as a gift. I would say the weight limit would be 450-500 lbs?? made in the Amish communites of St. Ignatius and Rexford, Montana

My son was 18lbs at his 2 month check up. (Yes, he is huge) He is 3.5 months old now and this swing has slowed down CONSIDERABLY, even on 6 which is the highest setting. It is really starting to struggle. I wouldn't guess my baby weighs more than 21 lbs (a HIGH estimate) and so this swing would not last you very long. The weight limit on this swing is 25 lbs. I hope this helped put it into perspective for you. Maybe consider a Mama Roo? They seem to have more umph... Good luck!

Not sure, I'm not lifting anywhere near that. I'd be curious how anyone can hold on to a small rope and pull with 666 lbs (6:1 mechanical advantage - and there is no brake or lock on this). If you need lifting of more than about 200 lbs, you'll probably want a winch for the rope.

I'm pretty large 300+ lbs and I've used the swings and been in the fort. Haven't went down the slide. I believe the slide says 150 lbs but I've had friends closer to 200 lbs go down it.

I believe this swing could easy handle sixty pounds.Our granddaugher is nine months and about twenty pounds. This will probably work four or five years for her. Extremely satisfied with purchase.

Ours did not work. We had to add 18" chain link on each side. It was not a problem to do that and we love the swing!! We use it every day.

It depends on what you are trying to make. At The Home Depot you can get 100 feet of 7/16 inch rope for 20.00$ and it has a work load limit of 300 pounds with a break strength of 3000 pound so that should work for what you are trying to make, that is what i use for swings though if you are making a rope swing you will want it to be no thinner than 5/8 inch and with a break strength of 10,000 pounds. I use a 3/4 inch 3 strand rope from The Home Depot with a break strength of 12,000 pounds 5 years still holding strong. WARNING! Don't get rope from Lowe's.

The only rating specs I know are those in the product description. I've loaded the unit to probably 1000 lbs and the rope held. The biggest problem was how much the rope stretched - at least 50 percent.

Even though it is rated for 550lb loads, I wouldn't. The small diameter means that the friction from the swing could rub through it rather quickly.

The industry standard on swings is 125lbs. I would not exceed that guideline on any roped item

I have swung on this swing before without any difficulty. I have a 17 year-old daughter, and she and her friends have been able to use the swing as well. We attached a very long (20+ feet) rope to the rope included and have never had any difficulty. This is my second purchase of this swing( we moved and left it behind for our renter's children). I would highly recommend it.

I have had it for half a year and still love it. I am over 200lbs and have no issue with multiple family members swinging at once. Also, with three little kids, it gets jumped on a bit and I have had no issues. Remember it is 100% self assembly, so be sure everything is put together correctly and tightly and you should be good.
