Giant Spider Web Tree Swing, Orange - Supports 400 Pounds, 40 Inch Diameter, Space for Multiple Children to Swing Together

9/23/2016Size of the black mat in photo is 4' x 6' for reference, I also included a pair of gloves and a rake.1) Set up was easy - did use 2 people, probably could have done it with 1 but 2 was way easy (if you have difficulties getting it to fully seat just roll it slowly on the ground, applying slight pressure, I found that once it was at a certain angle, it all popped together) Screw holes also lined up well for easy installation (no outside tools are needed, allen wrench was provided)2) Durable, we put this on our swing set for starters (have not yet installed a swivel, will try to update this review when I do) and kids are already LOVING it. My son (4yr) tried to sneak out last night to go swing on it some more. Stable, easy for the kids to climb on by themselves and multiple people can ride on it at a time (it is rated at 250lbs but safety ratio must be way higher, we had 300lbs with no problems other than our playset starting to creak but this tire didn't flinch)3) Multiple riding positions, kids have already tried "flying" (on their stomachs 3 of them right next to each other, 4, 10, and 7), sitting, laying down, sideways, you name it; and I rode it with both my kids on top of me (surprisingly comfortable).We've only had this for 24hrs but already it's the favorite item in our backyard. I plan on updating this review later on how it holds up weather/usage over time (I live in a hot desert, was 90+ yesterday)10-6-16 update:Note: it is NOT impervious to toddler bite marks ;) However, even with the bite marks it is still a hit. The net has finally settled into a permanent "sag" position (normal, if you've ever dealt with nets) and I foresee this as lasting a really long time (it has been used daily since we purchased it, it's even comfortable for ME to lay on!)I used  Eastern Jungle Gym Heavy Duty Tire Swivel  and used 3/8" Carriage Bolts (8" long) along with 3/8" nuts and 3/8" Tee Washers to attach it to my current swing set (built on a 4x6 beam). Works wonderfully.Next update I will attach another picture of it's current state.

Revision: BRAVO! A company that actually listens to feedback and uses it to enhance their products. My first review on this product was very good, but suggested some engineering changes to strenghten the product. Little did I know, they were listening! The company re-engineered the product and made some amazing changes to strengthen the design of this swing. As you can see in the new pictures, there is an eye bolt that runs straight through the frame now. Also, they changed where the ropes connect to the swing. Instead of going through the frame, as you can see in a picture of the old swing, the ropes are now attached to the new eye bolts and fastened with some sort of high pressure plastic piece. Not sure exactly what it's called, but it's strong and brillant. This is definitely a great swing with the highest quality and I have no doubts it will last for years. I have so much trust in it, that I decided to replace my 6 year old Poly rope with a new one before hanging. What a great swing and what a great company!Old Review:If this review was based on fun alone, I'd give it five stars! However, it's based on the product. So why 3 stars. I've had the swing for only 1 week and the screws that held it together, no longer hold it together. After continuous swinging, the threaded screws have stripped inside and have a permanent loose fit now. I didn't find that acceptable, so I took them out and decided to fix it the way it should have been made. I decided to buy some nuts and bolts. I drilled completely through the metal and tightened down the frame with nuts and bolts. It is 50x stronger than the threaded screws could have ever been. I only wish the product would have been sold like this. I've attached some pictures of the swing and what I did. With all that being said, this has got to be the coolest swing I have ever seen. Kids love it! And when I say kids, we hold youth events at our home and you would have thought it was a roller coaster at Six Flags. All the kids played on it and hung around it all night. It may be why the screws stripped and loosened, but it would have never happened if it was designed the way I fixed it. Stronger than ever now!

I bought this Spring 2017. It took me maybe 15 minutes to assemble. I also bought a four-inch, 1000 lb tree strap and an extra swivel to go between the strap and a length of chain I got from Home Depot. I can now put the swing up, move it, or take it down in just minutes. The swing is used constantly during the summer with nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and even adults. I would guess it has had 200+ hours of use and shows very little wear. It has been a huge hit with everybody!Updated 10/17/2019 -- I just took it down for the winter. It has been up middle of May-October the past three summers. It has gotten hundreds of hours of use from kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids. It still hangs level. The outer ring of foam is all intact. The center of the rope droops a little, but what do you expect after that much use? We've pretty much broken all the safety rules about how many people can be on this swing at once and it has held up. It is still the most popular item for kids ages 1-25 that come to visit the ranch during the summer.

Great swing for our 4 year old. Neighborhood kids like it too. It's easy for kids to stay on the swing, we especially like that this swing has a hole in the middle to put legs through, helps keep the riders more stable.Easy to put together, just connect the pipes and add screws to keep pipes from separating. Ropes were setup already, entire install took about 15 minutes, 5 of which were used to pick out the right branch.I also bought a swivel, which I highly recommend to allow the swing to spin freely.

Love this swing! All 4 of our children can be on it at once (2 to 9 years old.). It's definitely an attraction at our home.
