- Well even when It is my day off I am still working! We bought these swings for our daughters and wanted to have them hang from the tree instead of a swing set. There are a bunch of ways to do it this is just the easiest plan I came up with to hang them. It went smooth and my daughters are having a ton of fun on them. Being a holiday weekend it gave me a chance to get this done for them and not a customer for once. I did go back and use different rope that does not stretch as much. They did come with straps to put over the branch but our branch was way to big for the straps to work. Thanks for watching and your support on my ever growing channel!
Glad I watched this before forcing my husband up into the tree.
Who knows how many lives this video has saved.
Glad I could help!
😂
Tying the weight to the end and throwing it over the branch was the big tip I needed 😂. Funny how some videos help with the EXACT same situation You’re in. Thanks!
Anytime! Glad i could help.
@@HANDYMANHEADQUARTERS what size rope and what type did you find was best?
@@andrewheck5270 amy rope that does not stretch!
Same!
Yes thanks for doing this except for I bought the belts that go around the tree I have a similar swing I bought at Sam's and it came with the belts that go around the tree it almost looks like a seat belt I needed an extension so I bought the 10-foot ones and I believe that they stay in place so that it's not grinding back and forth on the tree like a rope would because it's flat. We shall see thank you so much for this video I was trying to think of what I could throw over the tree Branch. Lol I have a beautiful family
Lord thank youuuu! I'm a single mom and bought this for my son's birthday, then immediately got intimidated. Bless you.
You can do this on your own! Just have to follow the instructions please ask if you have any questions!
@@HANDYMANHEADQUARTERS thanks, we got it thanks to you!
Just got grandon saucer swing, now to hang it!! I'm going for your method.
My only suggestion is try and use non stretch rope!
Nice work I have one on my kids play set arm .
Good job dad🇺🇲🥃
Thanks!
Whew! Thanks 😅this was my idea, I go to hunt how too videos & everyone just up on the branch tying the rope on.😅 they either all short trees or tall ladders. Idk, but im glad to know my brainstorming idea might work. Lol HOWEVER! I got the strap things to hang on the tree so im not sure I’ll be able to catapult those. Lol wish me luck!
Yeah, I wasn't able to put the straps on the tree! The rope ended up breaking. So my plan B I used aluminum chain.
Lol what did u end up doing ?
Thank God you made this video.
Thank you so much for this video!!!
Anytime!
Thank you!! This helped me a lot 😄
Anytime! Feel free to subscribe to my channel! It would really help out!
So, the rope that is on the swing is the type of rope you need to use because it is weather resistant and doesn't stretch!
Yes I agree!
Thank you!
Your welcome
How long until the friction of the rope rubbing against the branch (as it swings) tears the rope?
They came with two sections made for the branch of the tree then you tie the ropes into that. This branch is so high I couldn't use those.
You could use swing chain too.
I have the same question. My tree is too high to regularly inspect it. Just concerned abt not noticing when its worn.
About 3 days with 6 year old twins…. We didn’t have the branch straps… gonna have to go another route
Im more interested in that luscious green grass you have there. What are you doing to get that?
Fertilizing throughout the year, aerating, overseeding, cutting at 3.5 inches.
Thanks for the video. I just about to hang a swing to a tree, but those ropes won't slide down? I am just wandering if I need to put something to avoid ropes kept sliding around.
They do make tree straps to install first. But it becomes tough depending putting those up if its real high up. You need a tall ladder
