What kind of hardware do you recommend? Would like to buy before Christmas to be ready to put it up.

We hung our HugglePod outside from a tree branch. We used the 2" nylon strap and metal loop that came with it to wrap around the tree branch twice. We then connected a metal chain to the metal loop to lower the swing to the height we wanted and connected it to the chain with a quick link. That way we can unscrew the quick link and take the swing down or move it to another location when we want.

We were building our house, so we had the contractor reinforce the area on the ceiling from which we were going to hang it. In addition to that, we used a chain and appropriately-strong carabiners (rated for 300 pounds I believe). We've all climbed into the pod and it held up (probably a total of 225 pounds). I recommend getting some sort of design-like cloth to cover the chain if you're using it indoors since a chain is very industrial looking. It does swing quite a bit if the kids good around so it can damage the paint on the walls if they are close enough. Great addition to the kids room though.

I bought the strap recommended with the huggle pod---it has worked great in my big magnolia tree---even with the kids twisting the pod!

I'm sure if you contact the vendor and give them the the info on the item that they could ship you the hardware. You're not talking a lot of metal. It's only held by a few bolts etc.

Save your time go to lowes and buy a pre assembled one this one is hell to put together and is made with cheap metal. May not make it to u in one piece

you can mount the hardware under a round or square cutting board. a hard wood such as maple or yellow pine or a laminate wouldbe the best.

Go down to your local hardware store and tell them what you are trying to do - they will point you towards the right hardware. Briefly, you're going to want a HSS (high speed steel) or a titanium carbon-coated drill bit and the right screws. Make sure you're not exceeding weight specs (for the mount OR your wall)

I didn't face this issue, however, most any hardware store should have what you need for less than a reasonable price. If you prefer to wait, I am sure the manufacturers address and phone number is on the assembly instructions pamphlet somewhere.

The bed already had the hardware and the canopy frame. You can order a canopy frame I think.

It comes with more hardware options than you will need. Kind of a waste. So, don't worry about it. You won't need to buy any hardware and will wonder what to do with all the extra hardware.

my husband went to hardware and bought two L shaped metal brackets....attached to post on two sides....then to birdhouse with screws. perfect!

pretty big and pretty heavy; first thing, though; open it as soon as you get it, make sure all the nuts and bolts are in the package, because absolutely NONE were in ours; and they literally take off a week or two after Christmas, so forget getting it from the manufacturer (we went ahead and just bought 'em at local hardware store) - But it WORKS GREAT!

My BF and I assembled it, and we used the tools provided. The only other item you might want is the WD-40 that most other people seem to recommend. We didn't have any around the house so we didn't use any while putting everything together. It seems like a million pieces when you open the box and spread the contents on the floor, but if you follow the directions and look at the pictures you should be able to figure it out. Be prepared to spend about 2-3 hours assembling it. There were a few hiccups along the way trying to get some parts to fit together, but we figured it out.

Try making one of your own. Home depot screw 2x4 together REALLY well by sandwiching a bunch together with the strong side up, you can add risers as you go. Primitive yes, a bit heavy, but if the need is there and you can handle it you can find someone to make if for you. Line the top with stick on abrasive stair tread tape. should cost all of $30. if a friend does it.

I might be able to help. I put it together last December. I don't remember exactly what I did. Can you elaborate on what you don't understand?

Oh, geeze. I feel your pain. Ours had all the hardware but there were places where notches should have been drilled, but were inverted. It took 4 adults 6 hours to assemble ours. Had it not been for a full working wood shop in our garage we wouldn't have ever gotten the thing together. Be glad you didn't wait until Christmas Eve like we did. My thoughts are with you, best of luck.

Local hardware store will have concrete anchors to hang it. Would need to drill holes for it.

It does not come with any hardware. We screwed through the center in 2 spots & drilled into the railing. We put some stones, purchased by the bag, at the hardware store, added potting soil & flowers. We love the look. They have winter our storms, snow & wind. No problem

Sorry have no clue..... I would email the company, although you could probably find something in hardware dept at Home Depot.
