Can this net be shortened to attach to a shorter swing set?

It could be shortened, but you might end up cutting off one of the rows of steps. It's a black nylon, and we trimmed the ends and then heated them with a lighter to melt it so it wouldn't unravel. And it could go at a different angle--we put ours at a bit more of a slope than in the picture. So far it's been great and my 3 year old climbs on it.

Yes it can. The bottom portion of the net is anchored to a piece of lumber you furnish. You could cut the bottom end of the cargo net to the length you need and then attach the lose ends to the board.

It could be shortened for a shorter swing set. Obviously making sure it is very well secured to the wood base as a shorter ladder would be a priority and possibly a challenge. The intended use I had for this ladder was as unique ladder to the upper bunk of custom made bunk beds. ultimately, I decided my son was too young to climb it regularly and went with a different ladder. Good luck.

Not easily. I had to creat more angle because shortening was not best option

You could bunch it to take up the extra two feet-won't be taut against any wind-folding won't work since you will lose the side ties

My rope is much too short as well:( The thickness is approximately 3" in diameter. I don't know what we will do to make this rope longer. I really don't want to tie another rope on because it will look terrible and may not hold. May have to return swing.

I do not see an easy way of either shortening or extending, unless you have some small jumprings available, looks like these are all sealed. But w/ some 2mm jumprins, I thin would be easy if you had a way to cut a link out.

The metal sides have bent ends for attaching the wood ends that you make yourself , so no you cannot shorten

I believe so. The height is adjustable so you can make it shorter if it is too tall.

Not without some effort, no. If you're looking to attach a short lanyard or something it would probably fit, but won't be "free swinging".

I don't believe it would be long enough. I guess if you would attach something to extend it, it would work though.

I just looked at mine, and there are actually opening in the mesh along the bottom that would probably allow you to attach the laces. I wouldn't recommend cutting, as you would ruin the integrity of the net and it may cause further unravelling.

Yes it comes with nylon ropes attached to chains to adjust the height so as long as your metal swing set has a steel hook where the chain can slip onto you should be good ...just be aware this product is of poor quality and even worse customer service so if it tears up like mine did in just on a year you will get no assistance and would have to buy another swing again.

I do not think so, I was replacing the swings to the current swing set we have. If you used a tree you would need one of those hooks that make a complete circle.

Not unless you are willing to pull the 4 corner poles apart. Would have to also move plastic end plugs to the 4 shortened pieces.

Not if you have the existing hooks on your swing set. All the hardware you need comes with it. Very easy to assemble.

Not that I know of, but I dont know why you would need to. There is plenty of tension as the bars are kind of springy. I love this net - it's very large!

Yes, but only if you have, or get, a clip to attach the metal on the end of the rope to the swing set.

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

No, but it is long so if you wanted to make it shorter you could put a knot in it.
