Can you adjust the lengths? We have an angled branch, and will need to have one strap hang higher than the other to make the swing even.

There are no adjustments on the straps themselves but the way you hook it around the branch you could loop it over and over and over until you get it the right length that you need.

The strap isn't adjustable. We had a somewhat angled branch and we fixed the swing by using different length links to connect the swing set.

Unfortunately you can't unless you wrap the strap around a second time or just tie the rope higher on the lower level part of the branch.

i think you might be able to as it's a pull-through mechanism. whether it's even or not will depend on how angled your branch is and how wide (ie, circumference of branch) at both points, tho.
1330758
Yes. Leave the straps as the are and adjust rope to make swing seat flat. We also gave an angled branch. Kids lo be this swing.

There isn't a way to adjust the straps.....but could you adjust your rope/chain on one side to compensate?

Our branch also is very high and we purchased heavy nylon rope to give the extra length needed. Connecting that rope to the swing and adjusting to the desired length.

No, the straps are not adjustable. You really need to make sure that where you hang the bag is high enough. Measure twice, cut once.

Just a tip, I completely ditched the wooden rod (so I can't tell you how long it was....) and put 2 large S hooks on each of the top sides. This accomplishes the same thing. The swing sits high, and I thought of lowering it with chain or ropes, but my kids love it at that height. It hangs from a door frame in my house.

I purchased the hanging kit that was advertised with the swing. My son-in-law hung it on a tree branch with no problems. I believe you can adjust it so the swing will be flat.

Well, that's quite a question. You could try looping one end around the trunk or a branch then latch that end to itself. That could make the tie out too short. I'd suggest you get some screw rings (kinda like heavy duty mug holders) from a hardware store and use those in the trees for adjustable tension.

this is a good question. when I first put mine together I didn't realize that it could be adjusted. the hammock I had was all but touching the ground. so what did I do? I went out and bought another one. (stupid me) when I put the second one on that is when I realized that it is adjustable. play around with it and see how it adjusts.

I have got mine between 2 trees which are around 13 feet apart. With the attached chain links and tree hanging straps Algoma 7800 Hammock Tree Hanging Straps there is room to even extend it by another 2-3 feet. So you should be good.

I feel the tree branch is strong enough to support however much weight you will have on your swing , think it will work. You should be able to use anchors that come with it.

No i don't think so. I got this for a vacation house where it will hang from long chains. We took down the wooden swing that was always nearly bashing little ones in the head. But we have not hung the soft swing yet because my husband bought s hangers i thought were too flimsy. They are readily available, we just keep forgetting. And when you don't have the chain with you when you are shopping you coukd easily get s hooks that were too big to fit into the chain. Probably more than you wanted ti know.

Unfortunately, the swing manufacturer did not sell chain if you needed additional length. So I went to Lowe's and bought a similar size chain, cut to the proper length x2, with connectors/links. Then I sprayed it with a matching Rustoleum paint.

There is no rope with this swing. It has a large O-ring at the top that you attached a chain or cable to. We hung ours from a branch about 20 ft high. We attached a nylon strap ( bought through Amazon just for tree swings ) around the branch. We used a coated cable purchased at a hardware store for the "rope" and put a small length of chain at the end so we could adjust the height as the kids grew. We also purchased the Black Diamond swivel and carabiner clip as well. This allowed the swing to spin and the clip what attaches it all to the o-ring at the top of the swing. Enjoy !

The perimeter of the branch exceeds 36", so they won't go all the way around. I have screwed hooks into the tree, from which they hang. Seems to work fine,

You really can't.. I bought the accessory two straps that go over the limb first, and then attached the swing..

I said no and my husband said yes. He also stated that it depended on the strength of the branch and you could use the chains etc that come with it. I wouldn't use the chains as they would eat into the bark of the branch and eventually harm it. It is your swing and your tree so you will decide anyway. You got two versions with us.

You can adjust it. BUT, it's a pain in the butt to have a lot of extra strap material hanging. I'm 5'4" and I hate this trap for this reason. There is a small plastic clip that you are supposed to use to keep the extra length of material clipped, but the clip doesn't do a good job holding the extra strap and I just can't stand how messy it looks and feels. I wouldn't recommend this if you're my height (5"4") or less.

yes adjust the rope, right side or left sided, to make swing level, then clamp it tight with the hardware supplied with swing. I placed a level on swing when I hung it from the branch of my tree. 2 people are best. I did cut excess rope after making sure it was level
