has anyone built a 10 foot tall swing set using this kit

My vertical height to the bottom of the 4x6 main beam is 9 feet 3 inches. I used 11 foot 4x4s for the legs. One item of note. Although the swing works perfectly, the swings only sit 7 feet below the main beam. I had to bury the legs a little to lower the swing so my 9 year old can get into the seat, which sits 27 inches above the ground.

That's true but the ropes are pretty long and unless the swing set was way above the ground, it would not work too well. Ours is in a tree and the grandkids were thrilled with it when they came for Thanksgiving and gave it a great workout...very sturdily made.

I would not recommend adults using it. it is great for the small children but the wood is thin and too fragile. I do not expect this swing set to last more than 3 years. When I bought it I was hoping to get at least 5 yesrs out of it.

Not high at all (~6-8in?) Honestly, we removed the whole seesaw section. It seemed dangerous as kids were constantly landing on their own feet/getting their legs twisted underneath when landing.I have no other complaints about the swing set--it's been up in our yard a handful of years now, but we do not use that particular piece as I didn't like the design/set-up.

It would be difficult. It comes with wood blocks to attach to the swing set first before the drums. My husband says you could try U bolts to attach the blocks.

I haven't but it does have an overlay for that software that is included. So I imagine it would work out fine. The deck is totally solid.

It depends on the ten year old child. Some are small and of slight build. I suspect most ten year old children will not fit in this swing.

I used the shelf links and 10 foot pressure treated 2x4's to make a trellis. It worked great! Think outside the box my friends!

Yes. I was able to do it with mine. It's a lot easier if you use one of those seats that come with the rope and the hangers. (I didn't and had to do a little project to re-use the chains that come with the swing seat, not too hard either)

I suppose you could, depending on the soil type, but I wouldn't. The swingset needs to be planted in the ground at least 12-15 inches. A bag of cement for each of the 6 holes really is no extra work, and I believe is well worth it for peace of mind.

Yes, I used mine on a wooden swing set. The cross member was a 4X6 very sturdy.

My ten year old is pretty tall for her age...probably 5-2 and she still uses them, but she does have to bed her knees. The set looks just as good today as it did when I installed it years ago :)

It will work with a regular swing set. Have been using on ours for a few years. You just unclip the regular swing and clip this on where it was, adjust for heighth and your ready to go.

I have used both 8 and 10 foot sections, it seems the 8 foot is more than enough for children, but it is fun to have a longer swing pattern with longer legs, but you are right, it does make it difficult to get enough leverage to tip it up or down.

Yes. I would recommend getting the kit they recommend to anchor to ground. My husband (5'9" and 165#) swings all the time.
