How would you recommend hanging this swing from a tree?

I don't really know. We hung ours on our back porch using two eye bolts. Maybe if you looped two chains around the branch.

It's perfect for hanging from a tree but it may be smart to protect the tree branch from damage by putting a piece of rubber hose over that part of the chain that rubs against the branch when the swing is in motion.

Order the Single Tree Swing Hanging kit at the same time. The $22 is well spent protecting your tree branch and ease of hanging the swing. We have bought several for a variety of swings for our grandchildren.

I have mine hung on the porch as well but when I hang it in a tree I sling a piece of nylon webbing/strapping around the branch and then a rope down to the hook on the chair. In this way I can remove it easily and since it is not tied tightly around the branch it doesn't damage the tree. Also removing the strapping when not in use will help it last a lot longer than not. I have also used a piece of chain run through a length of old garden hose to protect the branch and it worked great but the heavy chain is not so portable.

You get a swing and a hanging kit separately - the hanging kit wraps around the branch and the swing attaches to the metal clips.

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.

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!

Hang it from the ceiling, but be sure to use springs at the attachment points, because of the vibration from the cheap out of balance fans they use.

You can hang it from a tree, or if you want to be creative, you could make a stand using PVC pipes.

I hang mine from a tree....but it can also be hung by a pole. Either will work!

We have it hung from an old metal kids swing set A frame, same as our last swing, and it works well. We have eye bolts and S hooks, then the springs and chain from the builder. Love it.

For safety sake, I would not advise hanging a swing from a tree. With a swing set you can utilize appropriate hardware for hanging your swing. We built our own swing-set using treated lumber...it is very strong and I don't worry about the connection hardware...it was designed for this use. It is much more difficult, I would think, to design a secure hanging system to a living tree. The tree itself may become the weak link in your system. Just my thought.

It's original intent is to be hung on a swing set, but you could wrap the chain around the tree branch and then secure it with the appropriate bolts.

The swing does require a sturdy branch several inches thick and solidly connected to the tree. It is important to hang the swing quite far out on the limb because the swing tends to slip out of a back and forth pattern into a circular pattern and could hit the trunk if too close. It is a very fun swing and our three grandchildren love it!

It's about 28" from the hanging end to the "O" link. From the "O" it's 31" to the link on the front of the swing arm. There are also 2 hooks to hang it by that are 7" long (didn't use). We put it on a 6' a-frame swing set and it was way too much chain. My guess is you could hang it from something about 8' above ground. Sorry it's not more precise, but the chains are doubled up on the hook and we're in the middle of a major ice storm here in SC. On another note, we have cushions for ours. Without them, the metal bars hurt my back and legs after 10 to 15 minutes.

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.

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.
