How does this work with chains on the swing instead of rope?

We used rope and put it thoroughly plastic so it would not cut into the tree and then attached the swing! The swing should be about a foot and a half off the ground! Kids won't get hurt and our grand kids LOVE it.

You use the metal carabiner to attach it to the swing, so it will just attach through the chain. Our swings have a metal loop at the top and this attaches right through that.

That is about the correct distance. The chains need to hang straight down---vertical of course. The opening in our shade house is not much wider and it causes the swing to fit close. But it is O K. Wish the distance between the supports was wider. It is a nice swing and I'm pleased with it.

We hung ours to an existing wooden swing set. It comes with two snap hook connectors that connects the two black ropes together on each side. We had to add chains to each side to lower the swing down, because the black ropes aren't long enough to hang from the frame on our swing set. That might be the only thing you have to add. Hope this helps!

No. This glider will not work properly if hung from only 2 points, like a swing. It wouldn't swing very high at all, and the chains would really be in the way if hung like that. I don't recommend you try this.

Generally, swings work best when each leg is of equal length. If your tree limb is horizontal, it should work ok. Using a tree limb can be risky, as the limb may break. Also, girdling the limb may kill the branch. A strong, sturdy, horizontal limb, demonstrated to carry at least 5 times the weight of the child without signs of strain, and pierced by anchor hooks double-bolted at the top, may be effective. This does NOT imply any warranty or assurance on my part - use at your own (and your child's) risk.

I have a metal swing set and we had no problem hooking it up. It does come with the chain and it has D-rings which are used to hook it up. My kids love it.

Hi Glenda. Actually, we 'threw' the hooks over the stand. Works perfectly. We did not get any springs with either product, but this is what we did. We took the extra "rubber ~ plastic??" that was covering the excess chain after fitting it to the height off the ground that we wanted, and we covered the huge hooks with this rubber/plastic. It protects the actual swing frame and it protects the actual huge hooks. Hope this helps. Enjoy the swing !!! Gorgeous products !

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.

The swing doesn't come with the hardware to hang it. So, we used one of those metal clips used for rock climbing. We got it at a sporting goods store for ten bucks. This way the swing is not embedded into the tree, but rather hanging from it, which is important to us. We set our swing about 2 1/2 feet off the ground so that my 3 year old can climb in and out of the swing with minimal effort. It can be as low to the ground as you want. Set up was super easy once we bought the clip. The swing comes fully assembled.

The clips attached to the shade will attach to the chain, but from my experience, it will does not sit where it keeps the sun off the swing. Pretty useless.

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.

The swing comes with chains. Any extra would have to be purchased at a local hardware store.

The swing comes with chains and heavy duty springs. I purchased eye bolts and mounted them in the header. The springs easily fit them.

Don't worry about the swing . Worry about the pine tree. You may need longer chains. Pine trees are brittle,tend to snap.

It has metal hooks that can go thru mountings on outdoor swing set. But that's all it brings. However since we wanted the swing set higher off the ground so we didn't have to bend over to put the baby in we wrapped the rope over the wood on top and use the hooks on the rope themselves and its been up since we purchased the swing. My daughter is three now and i think we bought this when she was around 1 but my brother had his babies after me so he uses the swing easily for his kids when they come over still to this day.

It's perfect for hanging from a tree but it may be smart to protect the tree branch from damage by putting a piece of rubber hose over that part of the chain that rubs against the branch when the swing is in motion.
