Questions & Answers
Unfortunately, I did not hang the rings from the ceiling, but it is possible to do so. It must be fastened to a roof truss or a solid support in the attic or ceiling with anchors that screw into the truss or support.
I agree with the mounting method, but the product should include a weight bar that can be used on a regular basis. Ours is kept indoors in a house frame and has been tested at 300 pounds with no issues after five years of daily use with 100-pound children. A fantastic purchase!
Eye bolts from a hardware store can be used, but they must be pre-drilled. After drilling a small hole and screwing in the eye bolt, the swing can be hung from there.
It should be fine; just make sure you do it correctly and not into a sheet-like structure. rock. br>Hell, I (a 175-pound man) hang from two 3/8-inch eye bolts (not this bar) drilled into a common 2x4 (found in most homes) on a regular basis. So if you use a stud finder, mount it near another joint/wall, and drill the pilot hole a size or two smaller than the bolt, it should be fine for the kids.
Selected User Reviews For Swing-N-Slide Ring and Trapeze Combo swing Black
I bought this for my daughter's birthday in April of 2016. To begin with, the chain is too tight to fit the connectors on our Swing N Slide playset, as well as the carabiners that hold the rings and trapeze in place. Because my daughter was more interested in the trapeze than the rings, I decided not to put them on and instead use the carabiners to connect it to the structure. br>br>Well, it's been three months and the trapeze is already rusting in a straight line from the edge to the handle, which leads me to believe it's rusting along a seam and is becoming dangerous. br>br>This isn't the first time a Swing N Slide item has rusted before its time. One of our swing parts is severely rusted, while the other is completely rust-free. I'm not sure why some items rust while others don't, but I'm disappointed because I expected Swing N Slide to deliver better quality.
This was purchased as a present for my niece. I used to have one as a kid and loved it, so I knew I had to get one for her. She has developed a strong interest in gymnastics, which has been beneficial to her. It quickly hung on her swing set and is (semi-easy) to adjust. She has already overcome her fear of being turned upside down and is constantly doing so. The rings are just the right size for her to try to cram her feet into them, which makes me nervous, but she's gotten better. I'd buy it ten times over just to see her face light up when she saw the gift.
The chains are extremely light and short. Because the chain links are small and narrow, adding extensions is difficult. The ring on each hand is quite small. This item appears to be intended for a child of a certain age. My three-year-old can use it, but my ten-year-old can't because the rings are too small. The bar is also starting to rust after only a few weeks in a relatively dry climate.
Because the kids are never far off the ground, I'd rather give them multiple ways to grab onto something to make the zipline more enjoyable for a longer time; plus, holding on to these things prevents the rider from turning around and landing backwards. It's not really a safety issue; it's just more enjoyable to ride forward, and so far, it's been a good product. The chains and crossbar are both metal, but the rings are plastic. I hung on them in the basement during assembly to test their strength. My weight (200 pounds) was supported, but I didn't put it to the test for very long. There's no need for me to gamble.
I bought this to go with my daughter's swing set. I could tell this was a high-quality item just by looking at it and feeling it (the weight). It's a big hit with the kids and can be set up in just a few minutes with basic tools. Smooth handles and a trap bar are gentle on little hands while also being strong enough to support dad's weight. So far, swing and slide products have proven to be a huge success for me. Overall, it was a wise investment.
For Christmas, we bought our daughter a swing set from Toys R Us. The only thing missing from the swing set we chose were rings - Our little girl had a strong desire for this. These have been a huge hit with us. One thing that irritates me is that in order to raise the rings, we have a loop of chain that, due to the coating on the chains, protrudes a little. My husband suggested that we remove the coating, but because the children who will be playing on it are in the 4-year-old range, I am hesitant. We've decided to keep the coating for safety reasons rather than the minor annoyance of the chain protruding. The "extra" chain does not obstruct the children's use of the rings, nor does it obstruct the swing or glider on either side of the ring/trap combination. I would strongly advise!.
I planned to use one set for pull-ups and the other for back support. I ended up buying a third set to use as a "ladder" to climb up and hang from (I'm 50, LOL!). br>I've attached a photo of the three sets, as well as how I set them up.
Our basement has a swing that hangs from the rafters, and our kids use it all the time; however, they recently began fighting over it, so I went online to find another. Instead, I came across this. It went over extremely well. Not just with our children, but with all of the children in the area. It's a great way to keep the kids active during the winter months, though I'm sure it'd be just as popular if we played it outside in the summer. I prefer it inside, though, because I believe the kids use it more frequently. They go down there on cold, snowy days, rainy days, and nights when it's too dark to play outside; it's fantastic!.
