What do I need to buy at home depot to install this to the wood beams on my patio? I don't have the Step2 playground set. I just want to install it on an existing home structure. Please help!

There are some hooks you can buy that screw into the wood beams, and then you can hang the swing. When you go to home depot ask someone there. Explain about putting up the swing, someone will point you in the direction of what you need to buy. Thats what I did.

I hung mine under my back porch roof. If you buy two screw eye hooks, you'll be able to hang the swing. However, when I did that, I found that the swing wasn't low enough for me to lift my granddaughter into it; so I bought two 12" pieces of chain at Lowes and two carabiners (to hook the chains into the screw eye hooks). That worked perfectly, and my granddaughter loves the swing! The screw eye hooks, chain, and carabiners I bought are fairly heavy duty. Just make sure they fit together, and also make sure that the carabiners that come attached to the ropes on the swing fit into the chain links.

I bought this for my niece's baby, and we live in different states, so I'm not sure how they did it. I am forwarding your question to her. Also, Lowe's or Home Depot are always willing to help with questions like this. Good luck!

You will need two large medium to coarse threaded hooks to screw in, after starting pilot holes or two eye bolts with washers and nuts to place through drilled holes in your beam plus chain to place it at a convenient height. An associate at the supply store can help you with sizes according to weight, and will help you select a drill and bit for the holes or borrow this from a family member or friend. or you can order this right here at amazon! Good luck and have fun! Please remember to have the child attended at all time and make proper use of the safety features!

There's "swing hooks" that will install in the wood. I bought mine at WAL-MART

You would need the eye screws that go into a beam. Someone at Home Depot could help you easily and it should be pretty inexpensive. I would wait to get it though so you can make sure the swing clips for the screws.

It is your option to install your own shade or canopy. But I dont think they sell canopy for this type of item. As for my BZS.. we just place it beside a tree or under the tree to gain shade. just like Jeremy Y said. You can put a tarp on it, its up to you.

hi, if you have a wood swing beam this will work great!!! easily adjustable whatever the swing beam size is. my husband made our swing beam 16 ft long and 6 inches thick. this item is worth its money. unfortunately we had to return the item we hung on this but still kept these brackets for a replacement swing glider.

You can find the lumber at Lowe's or any other place that sells the wood. Lowe's cut the wood to the proper lengths for me. The amount of wood and lengths are in the front part of the directions on how to put it together. It tells you the screws and stuff you need to purchase also.Have fun.

It comes with the hardware to attached to an existing swing set, except for the wood. You will need two 2" x4" x20" pieces of pressure treated wood.

Im not sure, this one has an opening on the ends where you screw in to the pieces that go into cement to permanently install. So mine was permanently installed with concrete into the ground. Very stable. I did not save the directions. Is your deck wood? I would say there must be a way to do it but I would nit know how to figure it out. A beautiful arbor I might add, nice it's weather proofed too. Long lasting. :) good luck!!!

I bought a set of heavy duty anchors with the swing but ended up just using the screw anchors that came with the swing. We have the swing hanging on our porch and I some hard points built into the porch ceiling when we had the house built.

Hi Pensee, it depends on the area where its installed. I live on the west coast of Florida and the plastic inserts provided to secure the arbor were not strong enough to survive the tropical storm season here. I reinforced with 2x4 seasoned inserts mounted into a concrete base then hid the base with mulch to match the pathway. 2x4 inserts fit fine but you may have to shave about 1/8th" off to fit smoothly. The screw through the plastic and timber with gray deckscrews. from Home Depot. I painted the screw heads white to match but you can use plastic screw head covers also from Home Depot.

There are basic installation instructions and some short pieces of rope. You run the rope through the rings on the shade cloth and tie them off to the structure you plan to use. It really depends on what your location offers in terms of anchor opportunities. I drilled into solid wood beams at my house and then threaded a long eye bolt through and used a washer and nut to hold it tight. I used different ropes than came with it because I needed more length. It will stretch out and you will have to retie it a few days after install. That's normal. I did it after it rained too. I have had mine up all summer and couldn't be happier. Good construction. Good product. There are basic installation instructions and some short pieces of rope.

We love this swing. We had no problem setting it up with a couple of Caribinders You can get them at the hardware store they clip onto any eye hook in the swingset or a ceiling beam. Ours is actually indoors, since we use it for our autistic son. We keep ours about a foot and a half off the ground and it works great.

You can buy the required hardware at Lowes, Home Depot of Ace. As for the "plans", the product didn't include any plans, so I'm not sure what you mean by that.

For the actual assembly a cordless drill/screwdriver, rubber mallet and the stepladders were enough. Levelling the ground was another story, it has to be PERFECTLY level or you cant get it put together. Youll need a string level, stakes, shovel, rake etc. they recommend building a concrete platform which is probably more than most people buying a plastic shed would do. Its actually decent quality once assembled, and you definitely need 2 people. Good luck!

Just be prepared to buy some wood at Home Depot to add extra support - the 2 it comes with are cheap-o's!

My application was on a wood gazebo. I just scraped and wire brushed the loose stuff, then painted over with a normal heavy duty deck finish. Maybe you could just paint over it with a quality concrete paint.

4 places - if you have wooden swing set you need to purchase extender brackets!

You have to install a tube for the pole to be inserted into (below ground or floor level). It comes with what they call a "ground spear" which is hammered into the soil. I put a block of wood on top of mine and really worked to drive it into the soil. Pretty tough chore. I think if you wanted to use it on your deck you would need get a tube made up and mount the tube assembly below the deck surface so no one would trip.Sean
