What would be the minimum safe dimensions to safely use the swings in a fenced-in yard?

For standard full-size swing sets (the metal or wood frame sets designed for older kids), manufacturers seem to say 3-6 feet in each direction (so add an additional 6-12 feet to the total footprint to determine the safe space). For this particular swing set, I never saw any recommendations from Little Tikes but you can probably get away with the lower end of the range...we for sure had only 3' to the rear and to one of the ends and it worked out fine. At the age this set is designed for, kids aren't yet swinging very high or wide or jumping off the swings which is when you definitely need to allow for more safe space. But be sure to stake it well into the ground because it will "jump" when 4-5 year olds swing on it. My almost 5 year old has nearly outgrown it.

I am not sure exactly what you mean? they swing like a normal swing would, we have a pretty big fenced in yard, so i don't know what you mean by safe dimensions. if you could explain more, I might be able to help.

The width is almost 1.5. and thickness is almost 1 inch. I stained it the color I wanted and put water protection stain on it. I live in Texas and it survived the hot summer. This is beautiful wood and I love my swing. Very well made and sturdy.

I bought our to fit a 55" wide porch swing. So it's probably going to be 7" too long.

Each chain is approx 67inch. The chain link width is 14-15millimeters, about 1.5cm. You could always add a larger clip style hook. The swing is very good quality for the price. Has held up well in the FL sun year round.

I cannot tell you a specific measurement, but they are standard galvanized chains that are typically found on swing sets. There is more than enough chain to connect the swing according to directions. In fact, while the swing only calls for chain to be connected in two places on each side, I had enough to really make a third length of if I had wanted to. If your concern is whether the chain is strong enough, I can attest that it is. I weigh over 300lbs, and have shared the swing with others without any problem. I felt that it was a very well constructed swing and it has held up in the grueling FL sun and rainy season quite well. Hope this helps!

Thank you for your question. The Expandable Swing Gate can fit into openings between 24 and 60 inches wide.

don't have measurements but they were on the specifications on the website. In any case it was larger and a bit flimsier than expected because my "swing" is oddly shaped.

Using Short Arm Side Clamps: Maximum Depth: 0.75" Minimum Width: 1.25" Maximum Width: 3.0" Using Medium Arm Side Clamps: Maximum Depth: 1.25" Minimum Width: 1.5" Maximum Width: 3.5" Using Long Arm Side Clamps: Maximum Depth: 1.6" Minimum Width: 2.25" Maximum Width: 3.5" The long dimension is more or less unlimited depending on whether you use the top and bottom fences.

I don't really have the measurements, but I can tell you that I used 2 of these swings as replacements on my swing set and had to leave some chain hanging over. For if I had placed it on the swing set from the first loop the swing would be sitting on the ground. Hope you understand this explanation.

I also agree with Erin with 6 ft. You will want enough room for swinging in any direction. I have mine hanging from a C stand, but wish I had a tree to hang it from.

That might be tight. 20 feet would be better. the hammock is about 8-10 feet long, and you want to allow enough line for swing time

It will depend on the length of the ropes that you used to hang the swing. We have 6 ft in front of the swing and 6 ft in back. With 3 ft on either side.

18 inches. You want the kids to be able to hop on themselves. It took my husband awhile to hang but that is probably more due to him than the swing.

I think you would have only about 20". 30", minus 8" door, minus 2" for swing gap = 20" Not a perfect but should be a good rough idea.

You're gonna need to tie it to a rope or chain. The ropes attached to the swing are around 3 feet long.

I would not feel safe with that kind of weight on them . I used them for a swing for my one year old son! I beleive it the size 1/4 in bolt.
