Would this frame work well for hanging 2 child swings?

I do not believe that this particular model has drilled holes for side by side swings. I recommend the manufacturer. Check their website and see if they have something available. Hard to drill straight holes thru tubing but you ultimately could get it to do what you wanted if you had the tools and know how to install the holes properly on the frame top.

Yes, while they are small. You may need to anchor it down and even then, it's LIGHT... But a good frame. My 8 and 10 year old use it for climbing/swinging, but with regular swings, it wouldn't be heavy enough for them now... Hope that helps...

we put a 4' wooden swing on the frame,and me and my husband can both swing in it. thats about 375lbs including the wood swing.

Kayleigh,I wouldn't use this frame for children. It can definately withstand the weight, but its designed for low movement (think porch swings). I would be worried that with two children swinging back and forth the legs would eventually start to lift off the ground and could possibly tilt over.

I have a 4' porch swing attached, but if I had young children again or grand children, hint, hint...this would be an immediate consideration.

That is how I am using it, but I had to drill 2 more holes in the top and add 2 eyebolts for it to work.

I'm not going to say "no" because I think they'd be "strong" enough... however by using only 2 hooks you're basically creating a swing... If you picture something like a tire swing with 4 chains verses a wooden swing with 2 you can think of the stability of the former versus the latter. Any time you use only two anchor points on a pendulum you'd be creating two directions the entire rack can swing. I think for the best safety and stability you'd really want to use 4.

If you were hanging them on a metal frame I would say no additional rope as they are adjustable sides. However because it's going to be hanging from a tree branch I suggest you purchase he additional rope. Our swings hang from a metal frame that is 15ft above the ground and we have adjusted on swing to sit lower to the ground for our son and the other to be higher for adults. Any more questions... Don't hesitate to ask.

I have removed the existing swings and replaced them with 3 different kinds now. As my grandchildren grow, they like different things. So to answer your question, assuming you only need the two hooks, you are fine, in fact, the hooks that came with the unit are great. And as I am typing this, I looked at the glider and had to laugh as that is the EXACT glider I have used on my set. That is too funny, and children love that glider. Our neighbors kids come over all the time and use it. You will be really happy and the old swings are easy to remove and the new glider hooks right up :)

We put ours on a wooden swing set that connects to a kids playhouse. I think it would work with a normal "A" frame if you didn't swing too high in it. Hope this helps. Its a great swing though!

I used the brackets that were already on my swing set for this swing. I bought hooks from lowes and it attached easily. No issues.

That would work fine. The fibers are a little rough but the more you use it the more supple it will become. We used it for a tree swing

I hung my swing on a tree branch. You have to buy additional chain and hardware to hang it but if done properly, it works just fine. I tried using part of a rubber hose to protect the tree but this prevented the swing from swinging more freely. I had to remove the hose for it to swing properly.

I feel the tree branch is strong enough to support however much weight you will have on your swing , think it will work. You should be able to use anchors that come with it.

Hi Tresha - we hung it from an existing swing set. It could also be fastened to a tree limb. We got it for our son's first birthday -- it was a hit! Our little guy is small and I think it will fit him this year, but I would not recommend it for a older toddler.

The swing is 4 foot wide and can handle up to 4 or 5 kids at a time. It is very solidly built and I think can hold up to 600 pounds. We have had multiple adults and kids on at the same time. The biggest issue is whether you have a strong enough swing beam to handle the weight. It takes the place of where two swings normally would go. We placed it on a 12 foot swing beam with one additional swing on the end and it has plenty of room. We also used a 7 foot high swing beam and the swing sits about a 1 1/2 foot off of the ground with regular attachments.

I think they will probably work. Don't know how many you'll need, but I know these things are wicked strong. Are the frames for decoration or storage?

We have 4 bike on ours and it is not to bad. Our bikes are light. It would depend on how you hang them.

Yes. If you were thinking about putting a set on each side it will not work. The holes have a bit of a radom patten. If you flip one around the holes are mismatched. I would not recomend this bracket for any thing but light duty and NOT for any thing like a swing set.

The chains have a carabiner at the end so as long as you have something to attach those to you can use a swing frame.

We use a set to hold a swing and another set for a trapese bar. I swing with my son together so that would be about 180lbs on the swing. Not sure how much they would fully support but we've used them quite a bit with that much weight.

We built a regular swing set frame for the swing plus we added another kind of swing on it. It works well and my grandchildren absolutely love tghe swing. They use it constantly to play on or just read a book. It works great!
