Climbing Rope Swing Platforms Swings Reviews Summary

Installation

Pros:

• "This tree swing with its bright/happy colors was easy to install, is extremely sturdy, and was a definite upgrade to our backyard."
• "Easily installed - we just hooked it to a previously existing swing set hook."
• "easy to install."
• "The swing was easy to set up and hang."
• "No assembly required except to hang it."
• "It was very easy to hang."
• "This swing was very simple to install. It went right over the tree branch and secured tightly."

Cons:

• "The tree strap did not come in package like promised. **We had to do a makeshift holder around the tree.**"
• "Carabiner broke with my son on the swing in mid arc. Bought a $3 replacement that is much sturdier than the one they send."
• "We did run into a little trouble getting the rope out the bottom to tie a knot."
• "No instructions included! **How in the heck am I supposed to know how to install if for my grandchild?**"
• "The swing did not have the option to knot the bottom to shorten it like mentioned."
• "This swing was easy to install but we had to add an extra strap as the tree limb was pretty high."
• "Our only complaint is that when trying to tie a knot in the bottom to make it shorter, **the knot will slowly fall down to the bottom of the swing anyway.**"

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "This is not your Walmart rinky dinky swing, the rope is industrial and can hold some serious weight."
• "The rope is really sturdy and soft, which they commented on as well."
• "The rope is strong as are the plastic seat and climbing sections."
• "The rope is thick and sturdy, plastic is thick."
• "Really impressed with the overall quality of this item. **Appears to be well made, from the rope termination points to the hardware included.**"
• "Had this rope swing for a year now and **still looks brand new.**"
• "Everything on this swing is heavy duty. **The rope is very thick but also smooth and easy on the hands.**"

Cons:

• "The base is really small and slippery. The product is well made and easy to assemble but my 5 year could barely fit on it and she's tiny."
• "The design of the seat does not allow drainage and fills up with water any time it rains."
• "The seat and climbing discs are hollow and hold water. **Fire ants found it this summer and moved in.**"
• "The disc doesn’t stay flat and moves easily with any weight put on it so that you just slide off."
• "The kids love the swing. **I am bummed out because the seat has cracked at the seam after only a few months.**"
• "Although this product is strong and well made it is next to impossible to utilize."
• "Although I suspect plastic will fall apart over time due to being outside."

• "The swing is highly secure, moves safely and quickly in all directions."
