Questions & Answers
The only problem I see is that the mounting screws are about three or four inches long, which means they'll go through your two-inch thick piece of wood and into whatever it's attached to. Due to the amount of stress, I would mount it to something that is closer to four inches thick. If you put 600 pounds on a swing, or anything close to that, it will generate far more force than 600 pounds as it swings or spins. I don't have the formulas with me right now, but swinging 600 pounds of dead weight from a height of 6 to 10 feet would generate closer to 1000 pounds of force. Because the hanger is rated for that weight, you should be fine as long as you install it correctly.
Yes, it is capable of doing so while also ensuring your safety.
It's fine to drill through drywall as long as you hit a stud on the other side; however, force on the anchor will not hold with just drywall.
The two holes' centers are separated by 2 inches. 25inch

My 6-year-old son and his friend (who together weighed less than 100 pounds) were the first to try out the swing when the bolt holding the hanger together snapped without warning, and they fell to the ground. They were lucky they weren't swinging too high or too fast, because they could have been seriously hurt. It's a great concept, but the materials aren't cheap. Totally let down!.
They also give you concrete bolts if you need them, which I like. The only reason I gave it four stars is because instead of a cotter pin, you get a key ring to keep the pin in place. Because the hole is small and difficult to reach, you must first separate the key ring before inserting it. If you want to stay the night, it'll be a pain.
It's perfect for my sling; I found a beam and got everything screwed in, yay!.
It doesn't appear to be capable of supporting 1000 pounds of weight. It will. Trust me. br>br>Attention: br>br>Disclaimer: I didn't use it for what it was meant to be used for. It served as a fulcrum for hoisting a 30-foot antenna tower with a 10-foot mast and a 19-foot vertical, as well as a few VHF/UHF antennas. It was bolted to 1/8" steel angle, with a 5/16" cable running through it, and it was suspended 8' up by a pair of ostensibly-innocent-looking ropes. heavy- brackets with a duty The brackets failed, so I say "supposedly. " Both of them, in fact, are rated at 600 pounds each. Despite being bent like pipe cleaners and breaking the welds on their own braces, this thing clung to life. br>br>If you have a swing that is suitable for regular use, I don't want to know what you're doing with it if it's a case for this thing and you're carrying 1000 pounds on it, but suffice to say the swing will fail before this.
So far, everything has gone well. I set it up with the swing about 8 inches off the ground. The installation is simple, and while a cotter pin would have been nice, the ring they use works well, and I don't expect to have to remove the pin anytime soon. br>br>Because I was concerned about the bolt breaking in some of the photos, I went an extra step. For the swing, I needed an extra foot of chain, so I bought a two-foot length instead. I also hung an eye hook from the ceiling near the swing. I connected the swing to the chain and then to the swing's anchor about halfway through. After that, I attached the last foot to the eye hook. My hope is that if the bolt snaps, as shown in other photos, the chain will still be secured, preventing the chain and other parts (except perhaps the broken bolt) from falling onto anyone's head. br>br>However, for the time being, we're quite pleased with the setup. It appears to be very solid, swings very smoothly, and makes very little noise; it appears to be very well made, and the anchor bolts are very thick and should hold the wood beam in place very well. I stood on the swing to see if there was any give or strange noises that concerned me. The weight of the swing and the children is also significantly lower than the rated capacity. Having said that, I'll be checking it on a regular basis; you can never be too careful with things like that.
CAUTION: It is recommended that you use the supplied connectors with caution. It's possible that structural reinforcement and bolt-style connectors are required. Trusting the threading of wood screws to support a person's weight is dangerous at best, and no way no how will it hold up over time. br>br>In my installation, I spanned two a-frames. frames made from a 4x4 piece The a-frame was fitted with a 4x4. four gusset angles and twenty-four gusset angles four screws for supporting the structure In addition, I sistered the closest a-. using four 3in structural screws to hold a 2x4 frame together After that, I used two 5in bolts, washers, and lock nuts to secure the bracket to the 4x4.
This was purchased to go with a disc swing that I had installed in my garage. Because the holes are too close together, predrill a hole before installing the bolts to prevent the lumber from cracking and the bolts from coming loose.
We are ecstatic with how sturdy it makes our swing feel. The house is so solid that even if it burns down, it will still be livable. We used it to hang a three-person swing from it. I would strongly suggest it.
