Can this swing be attached safely to an i-beam inside the basement of a house?

We used it as a replacement swing outside so assume it would work inside. It is large and my four year old still cannot figure out how to pump and swing on his own. Buy the glider brackets is a good idea.

Yes of course. But if your swing is used for several people and the total of weight is below 800 pounds , you are working in the safe range for that kind of part. Thanks. Tony Cordero Hc Mercantil industrial SRl.

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.

Dear Olga, it would help if you would specify the question. You can always attach anything to something, somehow. Otherwise, I don't see a difference between a branch of a tree and a support beam of a house, as long as there is no stuff on it. I could easily attach mine to a tree branch w/o extra hooks or slings etc. You throw it over, pull the whole thing through its own end, thats it.

No, because the upper deck supports half of the swing portion. But you could always build the whole thing except for the ladder, and then she'll have no way of getting up to the higher part. My daughter got this for her third birthday and could use everything safely without an issue.

Yes. I bought this swing and within a month it started coming apart at the seams. I would not purchase

I don't have this exact swing, but I have a similar one. I strongly recommed not using hardware provided, screws and ancors are insuffecient for the intended use of the swing. The anchor or threaded screw can come out of the ceiling during use and cause injury. I cut a 4x4 wood post and screwed it across the top of the ceiling joists in my attic and then put a 1/2 inch wide by 12 inch long eyebolt up through the ceiling and through the 4x4 post. Use flat washers and nuts on both sides of the 4x4 then tighten to secure it. We have been using it this way for over 5 years with no problems. Hope this helps.

I would imagine so. Frankly, the characteristics of the tree branch will have more to do with this than the swing. Is the branch strong enough? High enough? Do you have a good way of attaching it without harming the tree?

I suppose you could, but I don't think it would be as easy to use, e.g. to open it. So far I have not used the handle attachments; i use only the swing itself and the rigging seems safe. I put a gym pad under my swing to soften a fall, just in case.

Yes, as long as it can support about 10 lbs and may be affected by a good breeze which may cause it to swing

There is, I have used it from the 2nd floor of our townhouse to the basement. I don't think you will have an issue.

The steel beams are solid. I have my frame under a King bed and have had no problems. Frank

Should be able to as you are not putting more than 50 lbs on the pulley system and the two brackets are spaced enough apart that it should not be a problem ... assuming you get the anchor screw in the centre of the ceiling stud/joist. Also, you are not likely to swing the bike once up, thus likely will not torque the studs. Cross members will strenghten the set up and not really a lot more work for the peace of mind if it really bugs you ... hope that helps

I use mine in my basement. It is very stable even without the stakes. Bad shots are usually not a problem. Just stand fairly close and the only issue is if your shot does not get into the air. Grounders will bounce of the base. I have never missed wide though.

Yes it can. We used it for a baby swing and kept it in the middle position when we weren't using it.

Unfortunately, no. It would be too uncomfortable for the swings. Not too heavy.

I oriented the bolts down (bolt head and washer on top of the beam). The thinking was it would be safer if an older child jumped/climbed up and tried to hang on the beam, possibly getting cut by the unseen exposed threads. However, one could make a case for either orientation.
