How do you connect it to the roof of a porch? Also is the total weight it can hold really only 325 because my husband and I together weigh 375 pounds

It comes with a chain that attaches to the roof of the porch. You would have to install something for the hooks to go through. As far as the weight, I don't know. It seats two but I've not had anymore than about 275 on it.

One more answer, I just looked and amazon has the same porch swing springs and a heavy duty porch swing hanger. I didn't buy mine there but the springs are the same. They are optional but you will be glad you have them.

I tried to attach a photo of the hanging hardware but it would not let me. Sorry

Large heavy weight eye screws from lowes or Home Depot, screwed into the ceiling. Seems it can hold 2 adults just fine. I LOVE this swing!

You need to purchase a porch swing hanging kit from like Home Depot. They are long bolts that screw into a beam. They will say on the package how much weight they can hold. I think mine are 250 each (there are 2) and I bought porch swing springs (about $10 each at Home Depot). The swing chain has large hooks that fit into them. My husband and I are more than 400 together and we are fine. I think it's more about the strength of the beam you put it in. We have 2 swings (front and back) and they are both secured in heavy, weight bearing beams. Hope this helps (:

I bought two and they did connect together, but the top of the first doesn't line up exactly with the bottom of the second... my roof was sloping though so it was fine, but if you are doing a more square wall it might not work?

I have a patio in my back yard. I nailed a cross beam between two long parallel beams that hold patio roof. With chain or heavy duty rope, I tied the punching bag and hook over the cross beam that I nailed earlier. That should do it.

My husband ties it on the roof rack but also takes the excess and knots it to really secure it. We travel 6 hours to our vacation destination and have not had a problem with it.

It's pretty heavy for just siding, it really needs to anchored to a frame of some sort. Good luck.

Might be the ceiling hooks or chain strength, I anchored ours to the ceiling between the joists to center it on our windows using 4 ceiling hooks that will hold 50 lbs each. It looks good and I know my wife has about 100 lbs hanging or laying on it.

I used to double sticky tape to attach mine. It weighs next to nothing. The only challenge is the cord...it's very short, so you will have to run an extension across your ceiling unless you have an outlet up there.

Hi Nancy. The only thing I can think of is using weight bags that attach to the legs of the gazebo. I've attached a link to the ones I fould. I purchased this gazebo and bolted it to the patio and it is very secure. Holes are very small and could be filled very easly. Let me know what you decide to do.http://www.ezup.com/accessories/weightbag.shtmlAllan

I have moved my daughters 2 times since she got it. From one room inside to another. It is very simple, There are about 8 screws that hold the purple roof in place take them out then the four walls just lift and unlock from each other. So you'll have 3 roof pannels, and the four walls to relocate. The roof is more or less what holds it all together cause they sides can't unlock with the roof screwed on. Also keep in mind it has no floor like other people have mentioned so for use outside you'll want to build a plywood base or something.

I loaded mine with all sorts of luggage (suitcases,printer,fishing equipment) that weighed over 75# easily and it handles it great for 1300 miles. Your roof can probably only handle so much weight and is more of a factor. I wouldn't put over a hundred pounds on my Suburbans roof

It is made out of aluminum, and I don't know the strength. I would not put a 200 pound person on it. Again....I don't know the strength.

This awning is quite heavy and awkward to mount (need 2 or 3 people). I attached mine to the overhang of the roof, and the weight forced it to tilt forward. I had 3 L brackets made to support (and level) the weight of the awning. It worked perfectly. Please note: The awning (when open), will drop approximately 3 feet from mounting height.

The packet has two cross bars, the screws and four feet to attach them to the roof. The weight limit of each cross bar is between 50-75 lbs when pressing on top, or so the instructions said.

Unfortunately, we couldn't with the roof on. If you remove the roof, you can do it. I was disappointed in that, because I wanted to move it from the deck to inside the living room.

The rooftop crossbars will support 150 pounds. The information is provided with the description of the item on Amazon. Take the time to read the information!

The front porch area needs to be staked and tied down to stand out. It might be possible to tie it alone, but it may not be as stable.
