Where you hang your Swing Seat will determine which fixture you will require. You may already have an appropriate fitting installed. Check if for security. It is not advisable to simply screw a hook into a beam, as with time the constant swaying and rocking will loosen the thread in the wood and the hook will then fall out. Children also tend to spin and twirl in a Swing Seat. This will unwind the hook and the result does not bare thinking about.

It is advisable to check all fixtures and fittings from time to time for any signs of ware and replace if required.

The Webbing Sling is ideal for a tree branch or can be used over a beam. The sling comes with it's own sheath to help protect it from the ware and tear of a branch or beam the addition of a piece of inner tube placed between the sling and branch or beam will also prolong the life of the sling. A stainless steel shackle is included. This is available for only NZ$ 18.50

You can make your own sling with a sturdy rope. Tie or splice the ends together and drape the rope over the branch or beam. Shackle the two loops of the rope together with the stainless steel ring. The addition of a piece of inner tube (or something similar) between the branch or beam and rope will help protect the rope from the abrasive action of the branch or beam. Like wise this will help protect the branch or beam from the rubbing of the rope.

Eye Bolts are available from hardware stores or builder suppliers and can be fitted into your beam. They come in various sizes and you should pick the size appropriate for your situation. It is also advisable when installing an eyebolt that you ens ure the nut is locked onto the thread. This can be done by: 1) A second nut tightened against the first nut. 2) A nylock nut. 3) Hitting the end of the thread slightly with a hammer. This will burr the thread preventing the nut unwinding.

Stainless Steel Swivel. When you want to face any direction the addition of a swivel is ideal. Also a very practical accessory to the Child's Swing Seat as kids love to spin around and  wind the swing up. This puts additional strain on the ropes.
