They come with screws. I used dry wall screws with a high weight rating though because I knew I was going to have kids hang on them. I have high gymnastics rings and a hammock from the ceiling with these.

I purchased four lag bolts/screws at The Home Depot, and installed in the ceiling. I think they are 3 inches long.

The most important thing to do is make you sure find studs to drill/screw into. Personally, I used Tapcon (blue) screws, but most screws that are at least 2 inches in length with some decent threads on them should do the trick. Good luck and happy swinging!

Screws. Do yoyrself a favor and DO NOT BUY these!! They are cheap doo doo!!. I bought two and threw them in the garbage. They make about as much light as a match!! One came on and would never turn off and the other one had a bad housing so you couldn't position the light as it just kept movin down!!

No use current screws. I use to fix china cabinet where glass needs plastic clip to hold in place and also for sun screen shades when wind breaks clip

Hi Suz. Just use your instinct... is very heavy so use strong and long screws. Is very easy at the end.

We hung ours in the garage for recycling. The screws are in the middle of the back bracket.

Large heavy weight eye screws from lowes or Home Depot, screwed into the ceiling. Seems it can hold 2 adults just fine. I LOVE this swing!

The ceiling screws are NOT included. they state to buy M10 bolts for the ceiling. You rarely will have ceiling/wall scres included in things like this because it depends on the type of material its going into.

If there is a nut/bolt place around where you live. I would try there. They will be a metric bolt/screw.

Hopefully your cross support in the ceiling is at least a 2x6. If you are lucky it is in a position that will work. Use lag bolts sufficiently big enough to support the swing and the person sitting in it or what ever you are hanging. You might need to put in a brace between the joists Which may not be aesthetically appealing.

They should slide with a little elbow strength. Tight squeeze. I never used screws if I remember. Good luck

that will depend entirely on how you hang them - if they are screwed into studs, they will probably be fine - if you are using molly screws, probably not

We had to return our swing hangers since our ceiling joist were not wide enough. Sorry cant help with that problem.

We mounted ours with some large eye hooks that we screwed into a carrying beam in our kitchen ceiling. The hooks do not go directly into the ceiling... you will needs something to hang them off of.

If you are using it in your house, find a suitable ceiling joist. I used a ny-glide swing hanger (found on amazon) then the rotational device and heavy duty caribiner.

That is how I hung them (about 2"), for a swing for my grandson, yes. These hangers are worth every penny, by the way. There is nothing cheap about them in build nor in price. I think they'll last decades, literally.

I used a concrete fastener (screw), just make sure you get the right size for the hanging hole. You can get it from any hardware store.

My swing came with chains. I prefer them over cables as you can shorten length easier. No mounting hardware. I picked two large eye hooks and used a two carabiner clasps, for quick release on stormy days.
