Is it too heavy to hang from a gazebo?

Sorry i didn't reply sooner,but I think it would be too heavy. And unless it's very securely mounted, it will vibrate the hell out of your gazebo

We hung ours in our outdoor cooking patio and it works beautifully (covered). It bolts in, so you will need a drill. We did rewire it directly so it would come on with a switch.

We mounted it to our patio structure, no problems, no vibrations. Like TimmyD-007 mentioned, we used a stronger bolt. We also hard wired so we can switch them on easier. We have one in each corner. They worked so well we bought 4 for our business!

I guess it depends on how you mount it to the gazebo. It mounts with one large lag screw. This enables you to turn the fan in any direction you want. (I bought a heavier galvanized lag screw and didn't use the one that comes with the fan.) I have my fan mounted to the main beam of my deck. I would not try mounting it to anything smaller than a sturdy 2"X4". Hope that helps you some.

If it is what I consider a "standard gazebo" built of wood, it should be fine. Ours is bolted to a rafter in the barn.

As long as your gazebo is structurally sound, you should be fine. It weighs less than 15 pounds.

No, we have it hanging from a rafter in our garage. It is not to heavy to hang in your gazebo.

Actually it's not. The opening in the top allows air to flow throught nicely. Also if you wanted you could hang a ceiling fan. I have answered many questions about this gazebo. The most important advice that I gave is do not use a power screwdriver to insert the screws. They cross thread very easy. I am very handy and it took me 9 hours to build it myself. No easy task but we love it.

I would say about 5 pounds you hang something heavy and a wind comes up it might break

I would think it would be a problem. We get some wind in our area and it makes it difficult to view even when it's tied down secure. I usually wait to see if weather will allow me to setup. Hope this helps

I can't wait to hang ours on our porch. Large screw in hooks can damage trees. I have seen a a regular swing hung with thick strapping. An arborist may have a suggestion.

We have ours hanging in a tree and it's awesome! It does hang low, so if you're hanging it inside you would need a high ceasing.

It's not heavy at all. Hung mine using a regular nail and it's been up for months :)

we have this gazebo but we put cinderblock or paver stones to hold down the legs - this allows it a little play in case of winds - unfortunately these gazebos can get winder underneath and get damage - it does help to keep the screen open to let air flow thru - but I usu keep ours zipped -

If you are using the swing with the rainy day support bar and it is hard mounted the strap swing can hold over a 100lbs. If you are using any other support bar or are using a soft mount then it could be less

I ran a small nylon rope through the top supports to hook a small solar chinese type lantern. Dont think you would want anything heavier. I also ran 2 strings of solar lights around the interior of canopy. It's beautiful at night!

Yes you can, strong winds do present a problem,although we solved this by purchasing two sets of weights that are made to fit around the legs of the canopy. Each set consists of 4-5lb weights so we now have 10 lbs on each leg. One set runs about $35 and are available on Amazon.

I also have a hammock swing. In addition to this hook, I purchased a spring swing http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000I4FU6M/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 which hangs from the swivel hook and connects to the chain that came with my hammock swing. The combination makes the hammock swing the most comfortable seat in our gazebo. To answer your questions, you can adjust the height of the chair by determining which loop of the chain to hook into this swivel hook; longer for lower, shorter for higher. Enjoy!

We have our gazebo on the rooftop deck in Chicago (think windy city), while it is vented very well, in high winds it did start to shake and move, so we ended up screwing it to the deck and filling the hollow columns with sand (about 1 80lbs bag per column), the combination of the sand and the screws makes it rock solid. In the winter we take the canvas down so not to get snow build-up. If your not in as windy a place, you might just try the sand trick.

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.

I'm sorry, but I really don't know. I secured mine with some thin string to a gazebo-like structure. It held throughout our horrible winter with winds sometimes up to 35-45mph. Could you possible tie it up with long string to a nearby window?

Yes. It's a very nice gazebo. It sits on my mother's back patio and she loves it.
