Would we need these brackets if we are hanging it on a metal swingset?

I am not sure how these would go on a metal swing set. We have it on a wooden one.

Yes, you could put up a bracket, like used to hold up a bike, but framed door is the way to go. My child has outgrown their door swing and I shed a tear giving it to another young child's mother. We spent many hours playing with the swing before crawling and walking- great buy!

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

No, the brackets are used to install a footboard on a frame without mounting brackets.

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'm not sure if it came with brackets, but you could easily pick up some small brackets from Home Depot and secure it.

There are a couple of *tiny* little holes at the top of the plastic bracket. You'd need a needle small 's' hook or something like that and a string or chain to hang it from... but sure, it's possible.

Not sure what your definition of "regular play set" is. If it is a wood frame, most likely. If it is metal, no. I bought the bracket to add to my self built swing set (two 2x6's on A-frames), but with one 8' 2x4 it gives you everything else to do it yourself. I could have gone either way, I was in a rush to get it on there for the kids for Easter, so I didn't take any chances and bought the bracket set (a little pricey, but high quality and quick to install). I like both the swing and the bracket set. You don't have to be too handy, just be able to drill a few holes and bolt it on. If you have a metal (or plastic if they make them) swing set, I don't think I would even attempt it. Not sure what your definition of "regular play set" is. If it is a wood frame, most likely.

For safety sake, I would not advise hanging a swing from a tree. With a swing set you can utilize appropriate hardware for hanging your swing. We built our own swing-set using treated lumber...it is very strong and I don't worry about the connection hardware...it was designed for this use. It is much more difficult, I would think, to design a secure hanging system to a living tree. The tree itself may become the weak link in your system. Just my thought.

No. In order to secure to the swing beam, they must be attached with a washer and a lock nut. The metal plate on is in place to protect the hook and serves no other functional purpose that I can see.

The brackets on mine are metal, there is a plastic ring to protect your legs (I assume) from the hardware. They are right under the bracket, they serve no purpose other than safety though. It is very strong and steady. If it is plastic on yours I would call them, and complain. I wouldn't think plastic would last at all.

Fey offers the brackets as a separate kit. But make sure you need them. I could reuse the brackets that I already had.

No, these are used to add a footboard to a frame that doesnt have the brackets already to do so.

Don't know what a rainbow set is, buy if u have a wooden beam that all your accessories hang on then these should work. The inner brackets used for mounting slide from 0.0" to the very ends of the of the glider bracket so it can accommodate a wide variety of beams. However, it is up to the installer to make a wise choice for placement and whether the beam is strong enough to support the new accessory. I would say if this is replacing an old swing bracket then you should be ok. DISCLAIMER: IT IS ULTIMATELY THE INSTALLER'S CHOICE HOW TO USE THESE BRACKETS.

No, as long as there is something solid to hang the brackets on. I used lead anchors in stucco and the two boxes I installed are solid as a rock.

Well that a very tuff question. Because if I say one of the brackets . And you don't hit a stud. This would be very bad. I used both brackets an its still hanging. So for the money! I would rather be safe then sorry. Thats just me. Hope this helped.

We did not. But it will depend on how high up you tree branch is. We did order the swing hanging kit too. It protects the tree and makes the swing much easier to hang and move if you need to.
