Does anyone know how many swings can be hung from a 8 or 10 ft beam?

You could squeeze 2 swings on an 8 ft beam...10 ft would be roomy. If you want 3 use a 12 ft beam. Your swing hangers will be 18 or 20 inches apart, and you want 20 plus inches between swings.

I used a 12 ft beam and it fits 3 commercial belt swings perfectly. 3 swings on a 10 ft beam will be tight. You are only going to get 2 swings with a 8 ft beam.

Most designs leave 24" from the support members, 20" between swings and approximately 16" between the chains for the swing. Measure your swing to confirm the 16". These dimensions are conservative. I have built four large swings with these dimensions and have not experienced an accidental collision. Remember the higher the swing top crossbar the more fun it is to swing.

I got a 4x6x12 ft beam and I have 3 swings hungI'd say 3 is too many for a 10ft beam tho

I'm not at a place where I can measure, but I think they were like 4 feet. I added chains from the rings to hang from a swing set. The chains also let me adjust the height of the swing to satisfy different age of grand kids.

Hi Kristy ~ We have this swing hooked up to one eye hook on each side. We have two beams available, but it just needs one. :)

Manufacturer's Response: The Monster Web Swing will hang approximately 62.25" from the attached swing beam and should be a minimum of 18" from the ground.

Thank you for your interest in Fifthroom.com. Our zinc plated porch swing chains will hold up to 900#. However, the more important question is what you will use to support the swing from. It is very important that whether you choose a porch roof, swing stand or tree, that IT will support the weight of the passengers and the swing. Please feel free to call us at 888-293-2339, if we can answer any other questions for you....Fifthroom.com Customer Service

The swing is 4 foot wide and can handle up to 4 or 5 kids at a time. It is very solidly built and I think can hold up to 600 pounds. We have had multiple adults and kids on at the same time. The biggest issue is whether you have a strong enough swing beam to handle the weight. It takes the place of where two swings normally would go. We placed it on a 12 foot swing beam with one additional swing on the end and it has plenty of room. We also used a 7 foot high swing beam and the swing sits about a 1 1/2 foot off of the ground with regular attachments.

Good afternoon Beverly. Our All-Weather Resin Outdoor Swing does come with 4' hanging chains. Hanging hardware will need to be purchased seperately. I hope this information is helpful to you. Meghan - Plow & Hearth Customer Service

The swing I received was 11'6" each rope. I am positive, we measured it because we were hanging from a 12 foot branch.

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.

Yes. Mine is hung from an old swing set that is over 6' and I have plenty of chain left.

You get 2 5 feet and 2 4 feet hang rods so if you use 2 8 feet rods you will only be able to use 2 , however if you use 1 8 feet and 2 4 feet you will have 3 hang rods!

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 hung mine under my back porch roof.

I am not sure how long the chain is but we have hung the swing from a very tall oak tree branch. I don't know the manuf. recommended weight but I know it will hold at least 350 lbs. hung from a strong tree branch. Probably best to contact the manufacture for answers to both questions.

I can't measure right now, but I used 8' lumber for the legs and feel it is a little short. I had to take up a great deal of the chain (2+ ft.) on the trapeze bar to raise it enough for my 5 year old granddaughter to use it. If I have to raise it more the vinyl coating will have to be cut off. I would probably go with 8-1/2 to 9' legs if I had it to do over. I would install 10' initially, then cut to the preferred height (with help) once it is up and the swings are in place. You should gain/loose about 5" in height for every 6"change in leg length.

We have it on a typical swing set and there is no problem. So, like 8 ft. I'm sure you could go a little less, too, if you're swing set is shorter. Just make the chains shorter.

10 ft will probably work, but in may not be very sturdy unless you get some L brackets and anchor it to a wall. I have a 8ft ceiling and it holds well when set up next to a wall. A 10 ft ceiling will require you use the extra pvc pipe included and you will have a 2ft exposed pvc pipe showing. My cats love it and swing around the tree, the carpet is wearing, but I plan to wrap rope around it later.

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.
