Is this swing big enough/sturdy enough for older/heavier children? Can extra chain be attached to swing for tall trees

I have swung on this swing before without any difficulty. I have a 17 year-old daughter, and she and her friends have been able to use the swing as well. We attached a very long (20+ feet) rope to the rope included and have never had any difficulty. This is my second purchase of this swing( we moved and left it behind for our renter's children). I would highly recommend it.

I would also highly recommend the swing. The rope included is very sturdy. I have even gotten on the swing myself to show my daughter how to use it (she is only 4) and had no concerns. Our swing is connected to a swingset, however, so I cannot comment on adding additional rope / chain.

Hello! The swing comes with the chain but not attached. Your inside project sounds fun! Good luck! :)

I think not. The chain holes are 56.5-inches, center to center. I attached the chains to eye bolts that are 52-inches apart, and it hasn't affected anything adversely. Visually, it's hardly noticed. I agree that this is a nice-looking, well made swing. We love ours. It's a good choice.

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...

The chain is made of a heavy gauge, I don't know the exact weight limit but I believe it would hold a lot. I can tell you it will hold an adult with no problem because I purchased this swing for myself to use as a tree swing. I use it regularly and I like that the lower part of the chain is coated in plastic making it a comfortable hand grip.

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 hung mine under my back porch roof.

We put ours in a tall tree. We also have it low enough that the kids can get on themselves. My husband used a tall ladder and additional rope to hang the swing from a sturdy limb.

I also have a tree swing, but it uses a different strap system. These tree straps depend on weight to grip and tighten around the tree trunk. A swing uses a horizontal branch which is usually smaller in diameter. I'll say yes as long as you attach the swing to both ends of the strap.

Yes my grand daughter loves this swing. this is very secure for a newborn she is now 8 months old and still uses it so it will fit him for a while. Good luck

We did use tie downs in our yard. If the child swings very high there is some lifting. If you use it on a terrace, you might be able to use sandbag type bags and place them on the base by the swings. The slide side should be heavy enough.

Yes. Mine is hung from an old swing set that is over 6' and I have plenty of chain left.

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.

The chain was maybe 5 feet long - on each side. It wasn't long enough for me to hang the seat from a tree limb that I want to use as the top of the swing, but it would have been long enough to hang the seat from a standard swing set bar.

The swing comes with chains. Any extra would have to be purchased at a local hardware store.

We have had two 175 pound persons on the swing for a couple hours. No problems feeling secure. Its very well built with strong bolts and chain supports. We assembled it in about two hours.

I can' t honestly say how many pounds this will hold but it seems very sturdy. My 20m old fits it fine and I could see it working for him for a while if he needed to. At least 3-4 years old. It really depends on the swing set or what you are attaching the swing to and whether that can handle the weight. There are also no hidden parts, everything is out the open so you can visually keep track of all the parts to make sure its functioning properly.
