Can I hang this to a beam under our deck? If so, what do I need to buy?

I've hung our swing to our deck. Go to Home Depot or Lowes and buy the following two chains(note the will cut the chain to your required length), two eye hooks(to go into the beams), and two quick links.

I hung the swing in my daughter's playroom from the ceiling. I screwed 2 eye bolts into a stud in the ceiling. I used 2 carabiners to attach 3 ft of chain to each eyebolt. Then I attached the swing to the end of each chain.

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 would not mount it upside down. However you could build a simple framework for mounting to the underside of the deck. It is important to note the mfg. recommended installation is to burry approx. 1/3 of the base in the ground as this optimizes the base response. So if you do mount it underneath your deck in a framework, it might work okay. This might work similar to a shaker sub base unit that drummers use to give the thump feel of sub frequencies. Just make sure all attachment points are solid.

I would not just hang it with nails, I would use some clips, securely fastened, it is not light weight.

I use a sturdy support beam in my basement. I'm willing to bet there's ceiling mounts you can get in the event you don't have a beam strong enough

There are some, but it is obvious how to hang it. Just be sure your beam or balcony is a secure place.

I agree with the previous poster. You need a ceiling mount that will cradle it. It will not attach directly to many of the ceiling mounts on the market that bolt in.

the way my railing was on my deck I couldn't mount them the traditional way, I mounted under the railing, it worked great, but you have to be precise in your measurements, mark it well, have someone help you, they can hold. If you send me a cell phone number, I will take a picture for you and send it

Use the screws. Make sure that the holes you drill for them are squarely in the beam. I did not use the anchors

Sure, I hung mine using thin stainless steel cable. No worries, you just need to be creative on attaching them. BTW, these lights failed after about 6 months.

Not sure Todd I put mine under our deck but even then I just bought some strong chains to make it where I needed it to be. It works perfect. I didn't want to use a stand.

Our is hung on a deck from a beam on a wooden pergola. We used a swivel hook which adds about 4 inches. It is hung about 8 feet from the floor and we have a foot or so clearance underneath.

I would suggest pipe hangers at Lowe's or somewhere like that. They will go around the pipe and have a flat surface with a hole to mount the light to.

I believe you could. I mounted my outside near my deck and ran an electrical cord to it. It works great.

Mine is hung from the ceiling of a porch. Everything including hooks provided. Will need something substantial to hang it from.

You should be able to. Just make sure that you use the correct weight command strip to hang it.

I suppose you could hang it. Thick pieces. Probably need some framing for it just to be safe.
