can this be attached to a swingset in replace of a basic disc swing, w/this particular rope?

Good morning, momof2girls. You could use this as an attachement to the swingset with adding additional clips to join the item. Thank you, Sarah W. | HearthSong Customer Service

Yes, but only if you have, or get, a clip to attach the metal on the end of the rope to the swing set.

No, you will need the attachment hardware for the crossbeam and then whatever length of chain necessary to attach the yellow chain to, which will depend on the height of the swing set. Both items are very available at any hardware store. Hope this helps.

It would be hard to attach this swing to a single rope. You really need two ropes spaced apart a similar width to the swing for it to work.

Unfortunately, no. There are two small ribbons that velcro to the back of the tree. So it's just there for looks. It does seem that you could use fix the swing to the tree with thicker string, and some of the spare screws that come with the kit.

As long as the tree is sturdy, shouldn't be an issue. You'll need to supply all the attachment hardware; chain and bolts to secure the chain to the branch. The swing only comes with the rope and hooks shown in the pic.

Suzanne, The swing does come with chains that can be removed without a problem and your rope can be attached to the ring that the chain hooked onto. I apologize for not getting back to you as I have been on vacation. Go for it is a good deal.Peter

I suppose in theory it could although I I've never tried that. I would think there would be better choices out there for a swing rope.

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.

The ropes are included as you see in the picture. It's well built and secure. We hung ours from a tree and had to use some chain to make it long enough. I would think the ropes would be long enough for most children's swing sets.

Yes, we replaced both of ours to make a very long swing from a large tree limb. Hint: Make the rope as large as you can (must fit in hole), because the inside of the swing does take in some rain and the larger rope helps keep it to a minimum. Easy to dump water out, just turn completely upside down and shake a little.

It will work, considering that some Rainbow sets come with a trapeze. One point of note is that this bar is 20" wide and the chains are about 18 1/2" apart. I mention this because some trapeze's are only 17" wide. If you are replacing an existing trapeze, you might check the chain hooks spacing in the top frame. It is best to have chains parallel or preferably slighty wider at the top to prevent swinging sideways. If you are using this trapeze in place of an existing swing seat, you should have no problem.

If the swing arm has something that attaches to a picatanny or weaver mount, then, yes u can attach this to a swing arm. You would first have to buy a dove tail to weaver mount, attach that to the NVD, and then mount the weaver to a swing arm.

Yes! I didn't need to purchase rope or hardware. We love this classic swing! It was used all day today, in fact.

The industry standard on swings is 125lbs. I would not exceed that guideline on any roped item

It should be fine. What the picture does not show is the chain on the end of the rope that makes it adjustable and easy to attach. I have mine attached with a carabiner.

I don't think so. You would have to drill two holes through the limb and probably would destroy the tree. Why not use a chain that has been wrapped to be smooth? I remember my Dad used to bring a chain that had a big ring on the end of it when we went on picnics. He'd throw the ring end over the branch and pull the rest of the chain thru it. Then you could add hooks to it to support the swing.

It came with hooks to attach to something else. If you have a swing set with eye bolts, the hooks could attach to those. We hung the swing from a tree so a rope hung down from the branch and the hooks attached to the rope. Hope that helps!
