Could this swing somehow be attached to a large tree limb?

It only comes with the chains shown in the pictures so you'd have to figure out how to attach it to the tree using other materials.

It's original intent is to be hung on a swing set, but you could wrap the chain around the tree branch and then secure it with the appropriate bolts.

I said no and my husband said yes. He also stated that it depended on the strength of the branch and you could use the chains etc that come with it. I wouldn't use the chains as they would eat into the bark of the branch and eventually harm it. It is your swing and your tree so you will decide anyway. You got two versions with us.

Yes it can. The extended piece seen on the left in the photo can be eliminated simply by using a shorter beam. I am using my extra length by attaching a rope swing.

We were not able to hang our swing on an existing swing set or any of our trees. It is big. We are going to have to build a frame to hold it.

Why not? I did, of course it's a good strong branch that will hold at least two adults in the swing. I threaded my chain through some tubing (plumbing) to keep the chain from wearing into the branch.

You would need to wrap a tree-protecting strap around the tree limb with a ring on it for affixing the swing hooks. Extend with a heavy-duty rope as needed to get the swing at the right height.

Our son has attached this swing to a very sturdy limb of a large tree. He had previously had a child's swing, the bucket type, on the hook ups, but this has worked very well and is sturdy enough for an adult.

I guess it's possible but you would have to screw the eye bolts into the tree branch. Not sure it's healthy for the tree.

I can't wait to hang ours on our porch. Large screw in hooks can damage trees. I have seen a a regular swing hung with thick strapping. An arborist may have a suggestion.

Wish I could help, but it did not fit our tree. My husband is going to have to build a swing frame. I can tell you it is well built and sturdy. I believe it states weight capacity. You need a very high place to suspend it from.

Our branch also is very high and we purchased heavy nylon rope to give the extra length needed. Connecting that rope to the swing and adjusting to the desired length.

Mine is hanging from a shade structure in the yard and I have become aware that we have to be a bit careful with our grandkids and even dogs walking in to its path. I dont think I would look it to a tall branch, say 15 ft or higher as it could be a real safety issue - potentially a lot of mass moving very fast. I am not sure how to attach to a low branch with out hurting the branch?

yes, but I would recommend something with a shorter blade height so you can fit it between close limbs (only applies if they are still on the tree). One of the collapsible hand saws are great for this purpose

I don't think you can, the swing comes with 2 rope adt. I just put 2 ropes on the tree and attached the swing

I wouldn't doubt it. Load it balanced and should be fine. Even the extended arms are pretty sturdy. Add a clothes line on a tree and you're golden.

It's perfect for hanging from a tree but it may be smart to protect the tree branch from damage by putting a piece of rubber hose over that part of the chain that rubs against the branch when the swing is in motion.
