Tarzan Tire 40" Spider Web Swing, Green – Tree Swing, Redesigned Tire Swing, Extra Safe and Durable, Swing with Friends, Easy Install for Swing Set or Tree

9/23/2016Size of the black mat in photo is 4' x 6' for reference, I also included a pair of gloves and a rake.1) Set up was easy - did use 2 people, probably could have done it with 1 but 2 was way easy (if you have difficulties getting it to fully seat just roll it slowly on the ground, applying slight pressure, I found that once it was at a certain angle, it all popped together) Screw holes also lined up well for easy installation (no outside tools are needed, allen wrench was provided)2) Durable, we put this on our swing set for starters (have not yet installed a swivel, will try to update this review when I do) and kids are already LOVING it. My son (4yr) tried to sneak out last night to go swing on it some more. Stable, easy for the kids to climb on by themselves and multiple people can ride on it at a time (it is rated at 250lbs but safety ratio must be way higher, we had 300lbs with no problems other than our playset starting to creak but this tire didn't flinch)3) Multiple riding positions, kids have already tried "flying" (on their stomachs 3 of them right next to each other, 4, 10, and 7), sitting, laying down, sideways, you name it; and I rode it with both my kids on top of me (surprisingly comfortable).We've only had this for 24hrs but already it's the favorite item in our backyard. I plan on updating this review later on how it holds up weather/usage over time (I live in a hot desert, was 90+ yesterday)10-6-16 update:Note: it is NOT impervious to toddler bite marks ;) However, even with the bite marks it is still a hit. The net has finally settled into a permanent "sag" position (normal, if you've ever dealt with nets) and I foresee this as lasting a really long time (it has been used daily since we purchased it, it's even comfortable for ME to lay on!)I used Eastern Jungle Gym Heavy Duty Tire Swivel and used 3/8" Carriage Bolts (8" long) along with 3/8" nuts and 3/8" Tee Washers to attach it to my current swing set (built on a 4x6 beam). Works wonderfully.Next update I will attach another picture of it's current state.

I bought this Spring 2017. It took me maybe 15 minutes to assemble. I also bought a four-inch, 1000 lb tree strap and an extra swivel to go between the strap and a length of chain I got from Home Depot. I can now put the swing up, move it, or take it down in just minutes. The swing is used constantly during the summer with nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and even adults. I would guess it has had 200+ hours of use and shows very little wear. It has been a huge hit with everybody!Updated 10/17/2019 -- I just took it down for the winter. It has been up middle of May-October the past three summers. It has gotten hundreds of hours of use from kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids. It still hangs level. The outer ring of foam is all intact. The center of the rope droops a little, but what do you expect after that much use? We've pretty much broken all the safety rules about how many people can be on this swing at once and it has held up. It is still the most popular item for kids ages 1-25 that come to visit the ranch during the summer.

I so wish I had this when I was growing up! Thoughtful and planned installation is a must! This swing should be installed by an adult who is aware of the capacities of all hardware and is willing to ensure ADULT supervision when in use. I take ours down and store when not in use. Fun for all ages when used with a spotter to keep riders safely seated and onlookers at a "SAFE" distance. I made sure I used rope and carabiners for the attachments that were rated higher in weight capacity than the Web Swing itself. Ensure that the area the swing can cover is free from obstacles or sharp objects as slips and falls are inevitable. Best installation is over soft earth, bark or grass. Be mindful that the rope attachment length will define how high above the ground the swing will get at its furthest point. Older, stronger children will require 'education' regarding safe use in addition to supervision in order to decrease injury risk.

Great swing for our 4 year old. Neighborhood kids like it too. It's easy for kids to stay on the swing, we especially like that this swing has a hole in the middle to put legs through, helps keep the riders more stable.Easy to put together, just connect the pipes and add screws to keep pipes from separating. Ropes were setup already, entire install took about 15 minutes, 5 of which were used to pick out the right branch.I also bought a swivel, which I highly recommend to allow the swing to spin freely.

The swing itself is 5 stars. We purchased it for our grandkids to use in our backyard. They love sitting and swinging together. It's a safe and fun tire style swing with room for 4 little kids. Also, it stays clean since the mesh doesn't collect water and debris. The issue is the swivel. I purchased a swivel to mount on our 'A' frame since it's not a tree application. There were several swivel choices, but since the 'A' frame cross beam is about 8' high I needed to limit how low the swivel would hang. The strap Swinging Monkey offers was out since that's for a tree. Since our 'A' frame uses the Eastern Jungle Gym brackets, we decided on using the swivel they offer. It's very noisy and creaky, but works fine. I just wish there were something better for this type of application.
