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

Very pleased with these brackets. Very well constructed and heavy. If you are unaware, cut wood/lumber is not always the same size. Be sure to measure the ends of each 4x4 and 4x6 to make sure they are the right size. In my case I did and all pieces fit easily but snugly. Better yet, take one of the brackets with you when shopping for the wood so you can test at the store. Very happy with how they worked and everything came together.

I had the thing built in an hour

The legs are not a big problem. The 4X6 has to be ripped 6’ to attach the middle brace. Oh well.

Fantastic product!! A really great price for a high quality product. I was able to get this all done on my own in the course of an afternoon with very basic tools. Im really happy with the end result, its got clean lines, looks neat, and is incredibly sturdy. If you need a basic A-frame, you cant beat this. I did have to do a little rubber mallet banging and sanding to get a few of the pieces of timber in, but thats probably because the pressure treated lumber can swell oddly at the ends and Im glad they fit so snugly anyhow. Id definitely suggest doing the large cross beam first. After beating with the rubber mallet for way too long, I realized I could pick the whole thing up and gently drop it on its end on a piece of plywood to get the cross beam totally seated into the bracket. Im pretty strong, and I took pains to do it gently, so be careful if you take this tactic, but it worked like a dream. I also thought itd be easier to put the legs in starting with pushing in the one that would be flat on the ground first, but that wasnt so. It was easier to pick up the 4x4 and let gravity to a bit of the work to get it slid into the upward angled leg slot (with the bracketed cross beam laying flat on the ground) first, making sure to add a bit of upward force to it to make it square in the slot as I drilled my pilot holes and ratcheted in the bolts. I needed this A-frame for some large scale crafts projects that I do, so a 4x6x8ft cross beam is perfect so that I have just over 6 of clearance inside the legs of the frame. However, if youre doing this for swings, especially if its for adults or you just want some extra clearance, you might want to go for the 10 long cross beam. I hope my experience helps you along, Id definitely recommend this product with confidence!

I checked the dimensions of a 4x6 at both big box stores and they were all a hair too tall. Width was perfect. I took a skill saw and cut about 1/8” off the TOP of the 4x6 and was able to hammer the bracket on. The 4x4 legs fit with no modification, but was actually a little loose. If the manufacturer would make the bracket fit common available lumber it would go together without many tools. If you’re a competent DIY’er it’s no problem. You will need a friend to stand this up and move it around once assembled.

This made the job of building our own swingset a breeze. Outdoor playsets cost a small fortune, so we built one with these and this: TURFEE 3 Pack Assorted Swing Set, Including 1 Gym Rings Trapeze Swing Bar and 2 Pcs Swings with Plastic Coated Chain, Swing Set Accessories Replacement for Kids Outdoor Play, Playground- Green https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B09QH6XDXB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and this: Jungle Gym Kingdom Swing Set Hangers - 2 Heavy Duty Brackets with Locking Snap Hooks for Porch, Patio, Playground - Indoor/Outdoor Hardware & Accessories https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B015OXL2MW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It is all very easy to use and extremely sturdy.

Brackets were just what we needed to finally hang a handmade porch swing. The brackets are heavy duty and the 4x4’s fit easily. The 4x6 piece was a little more involved. Had to shave the ends a bit but probably was due to a lot of moisture from the treatment process. All turned out great.

I read all of the reviews and some of the reviews said that the standard 4X4’s did not fit. But I decided to give it a try anyway. I bought my lumber from Home Depot. Prior to installation, I did use a grinding wheel attachment for a standard drill to grind down (1) the ever so slight lip where the metal was welded and (2) the heads from the rivets that were used to attach the company name to the product. I wanted to eliminate any chance of the 4X4 or 4X6 beams getting stuck halfway into the slot. The end result was that the beams slid into all six slots with no problem. My two boys and I had the swing set built in three hours, and that included buying the lumber, calculating the length of the legs on the downslope of the lawn, cutting the legs to length, adding a 2X4 cross support to the legs and hammering in 18” steel concrete framing rods to make 100% sure the legs never lift up off of the ground. And I loved how the legs were angled back from the top rail, providing addition suppor to the structure. The brackets worked great. I recommend them 100%.

Good price , perfect for doing swing project and super heavy .

These brackets are exactly what I needed to quickly get a swing set together for the visiting grandchildren.
