We have hooks that are 4 feet apart but want a 5 foot swing. Would it be ok to have the chains slant and use the existing hooks?

It will be fine, however if your a tall person sitting on the end may be awkward. Hope this helps. My hooks were 4 feet 7 inches and it is fine. Good luck.

My guess is that it would work fine unless a tall person sat at the end of the swing.

As long as you have the hooks on the swing set you won't need anything else. This swing does sort of twist when it is being ridden. My 3 year old granddaughter doesn't like this swing very much. Hope this helps

The answer depends on how far apart the trees are. You will get about a foot of chain with a screw anchor that comes with the hammock. What I did was utilize two separate sections of chain wrapped around each tree secured with a bold to form a loop around the tree. Then extend the separate sections of chain to each end of the hammock hook and just hook into the tree chains at your desired distance. Buy the sections of chain based on how far it is between the trees. I found rope was not satisfactory as it stretched.

You could as long as you have some kind of mount on the tree. this just has plain chains on both sides made to connect to the swing with hooks or carbiners.

These are for a tire swing that has three chains. If you have a two chained tire swing you can use swing hangers. These mount under your deck and the chains of the tire swing attach to the swivel. You should not use this on a single beam unless you have proper bracing. You also do not want to have this next to any other swings.

I agree with Ken S response. I would add you may not have to remove the links but just connect at the link that provide the tighten the chains as desired.

Yes, the ropes and top hooks are included and already attached. You'll have to have something to attach it to. My little guy likes a BIG swing, so I mounted some Marathon swing hangers in my garage at 10', added 42" of chain, and hook the swing onto the bottom of the chain. He loves it and we can swing in any weather! The rope length between the swing and the included hook is approximately 48".

Our rope is 5.5 feet, but we put a knot in the rope to shorten it - so maybe it is 6 feet. The branch we used was low enough it didn't need extending, but if you do extend it I suggest you use rope from a place that sells rope for mountain climbers, not from a hardware store. I wouldn't recommend this as a swing that swings high on a long rope. Low and slow is the rule here, but we have ours hanging from one point and have a swivel on it so you can spin. I feel the width is such that a child cannot keep a good grip and seat needed for high swinging safely. And if more than one child is on the swing, that just creates more problems if swinging high.

My hammock has the support hooks 140" apart. If you measure your frame and the end hooks are more than 140" (11'8") apart, it'll workThe Amazon hammock comes with about 12" of chain if the frame is longer than 140"

The chains are very long, maybe nine or ten feet. It is simple to shorten them to fit your swing set. Or you can hook the excess up at the top.

The base plates are 3" x 2 3/4. If the direction if the swing is parallel to the joists some overhang would be ok. If perpendicular you would need sister the joists.

I said no and my husband said yes. He also stated that it depended on the strength of the branch and you could use the chains etc that come with it. I wouldn't use the chains as they would eat into the bark of the branch and eventually harm it. It is your swing and your tree so you will decide anyway. You got two versions with us.

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

For the regular swing we need 4 ft. My daughter swings it the full extent of the chain in front and back. The net swing is more of a relaxed sway and shorter range. Hope this helps :-)

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

Ours did not work. We had to add 18" chain link on each side. It was not a problem to do that and we love the swing!! We use it every day.
