Eastern Jungle Gym Easy 1-2-3 A-Frame 2 Brackets for Swing Set with All Mounting Hardware, Green

Product is perfect for building a back yard swing set. I built it during the pandemic of 2020 as all the local playgrounds were off limits. The kids absolutely love it and play on it everyday now. The joints and wood beams took about an hour from start to finish to install. I used pressure treated wood from a local lumber yard here in the Northeast. I used (4) 10 foot 4x4 beams, and (1) 10 foot 4x6 beam. The 4x4 beams fit perfectly in the brackets, but the 4x6 beam needed a lot of wood shaved off. The wood was not wet and I stored it in my garage for over a week prior to installation. To make the 4x6 fit, I used a standard block planer and removed at least 1/8 of an inch off of each side of each end. Even so, I still had to used a block of wood with a shock-proof rubber mallet to seat the joints all the way in. After that, everything else was a breeze to install. Some have said the included zinc coated lag bolts are incorrect for pressure treated wood (true), but the lag bolts supplied with my kit were indeed galvanized, and definitely not zinc coated. The other notable tip for building this kit is to have a lot of help for installing the 4x4 legs, as well as a step ladder. Four helpers is ideal, but two sturdy adults can make it work. For installation, first install the joints onto the 4x6 beam, then a 4x4 beam on each opposing joint with it laying down. Bolt them in securely, then grab your help for lifting the three attached beams and hold them upright. For the other two opposing beams, have your helpers slowly tilt the assembly towards the angle that it will attach to the other 4x4 beams. Install the last two 4x4 beams and bolt in place. I was able to comfortably put two swings (one standard and one bucket), and one trapeze bar, with 15 spacing between each swing. The swing seats I used recommended 18-22 spacing between each chain, so I did 20 for both, and the trapeze bar was 18 of spacing.

This was easy to assemble and very sturdy!

I didn’t have any issues with wood sizes and or quality. I saw some reviewers comments and I was concerned. I bought my wood at the local home depot and everything was great.

There is another seller on Amazon that uses a very effective product title that leads you to believe that you are getting TWO brackets instead of one. Of course in that detailed description the seller clarifies its for ONLY ONE bracket, but its such a simple product, and the fact that most swing-sets will need two, someone like me might just hit click and buy. I was a bit shocked when only ONE bracket showed up. I sent that ONE bracket back primarily because I thought there listing was a bit shady, and instead I bought this set of TWO brackets. It comes with everything you need and includes all the bolts. The brackets are strong and produce a study platform for a solid swing-set. Im very happy with the product, AND it was cheaper buying this set of brackets then buying from the other seller. If this is what you are looking for, go for its a good quality product.

First two went on easy! Measured all wood and brackets everything lined up to what we needed. Got end and middle bracket on and four legs. We then continued they headed for the next half and she would not go in the bracket for nothing. We did have to trim the end down to get it in but before hand we had to get the outside bracket on first. Easy way was to get bracket started then stand up the pole and lift and drop. Gods hammer “gravity” worked best to get the end one on. Standing it up well that’s a whole bother problem. Myself 40 year old Dad and two daughters 9 and 11 trying to raise a 20foot long header with 12 foot legs on it was a chore for all of us. Tractor helped for the lifting with straps but we had to stack 4 big concrete blocks at each foot so the had something to press against to be able to lift. Once she was up she looked great! Kids then got overly excited! Had to buy 30” more chain for each chain length because it was built too tall for our swings we ordered. 12’ legs means add 30” to each chain to make them low enough to sit on. ~ThreeGirlsandDad~

Excellent fit and quality.

I have assembled two of these swing sets now one at our home 12ft wide with 3 swings and one at my 87 year old grandmothers house 16ft wide with middle support bracket, a bench swing for her and 2 kids swings. First I will address some complaints in other reviews about brackets being too small for a 4x6 PT beam. Yes the beam fits tight and that is how it should be. Due to the process, and its all in the name pressure treated, they force chemicals into the wood with pressure to preserve it. Youll notice over time even on your deck the deck boards you fit together snug will shrink as they dry out and leave you ⅛-³/¹⁶ gaps if you buy your lumber the same day and expect to slap it together its gunna fight you. That said there are a few tricks you can try. Light coat of vegetable oil or as long as the wood is fairly dry try cornstarch. Then use a wooden block and a sturdy hammer. Best case would be buy the lumber and give it a couple weeks in a sunny spot. You want a snug fit it will be sturdier and movement will affect the hardware and brackets much less over time. Otherwise drill pilot holes for the lags. Build it on a set of saw horses and it will be far easier to tip it up once you are done. Buy sturdy swing hangers or have some made at a local metal shop. No need to cut legs to the angle of the ground they will sink into the grass somewhat and give a sturdy footprint. Also due to covid supply issues you may want to source the lumber prior to ordering the brackets. When it came time to built my grandmas swing set treated lumber was all but impossible to come by. Had to drive 50 miles to find 4x4x8 for legs.

I built a swing for my wife out of an old swing we found on a neighbors curb. Four 4x4’s and a 4x6 fit well into the brackets. I am planning to use the same from for a swing for our kids one day. I like how you can customize whatever you want to build.

Great product to create a A frame for swing set. So easy to install. SOLID and came with everything needed (Except the wood). Have already bought 2 of these sets and would use again. I would recommend this product. No issues

So these are not the cheapest, but they work the best. I wanted to build a swing set for my daughter, one that not only she could use but that my wife and I could swing on as well. So I looked around at plans to build and settled on these brackets. I went to the hardware store and bought 5 boards, all pressure treated (one 4x6x12, four 4x4x8s), I bought the swing brackets from amazon here
