> 3 dayGrate product. Was not a perfect fit due to the fact not all wood is cut to spec . Was able to easily get it on with a rubber mallet.

> 3 dayFits nominal sized wood better than other brands. Only issue is the lag bolts are very poor quality. They will break under moderate torque.

> 3 dayIf you use a 4 x 6 for the main post you will have to trim it about 1/8” to 1/4” on both sides. A planer or a table saw will work. It takes some effort but this was preferable for me because of how I affixed the swing. Running the brackets between a pair of 2 x 6 did not seem to be as sturdy but the makers state they use that method.

> 3 dayThese framing brackets made building our grandchild a sturdy swingset amazingly easy. They are heavy, strong, and easy to fit (after a little adjustment with a hammer and board scrap to flatten a couple of shallow dents, Quality Control might want to pay more attention to that). We used one 4x6x12 and 4 4x4x10s for a nice wide, and tall framework. That height is perfect for the double saddle swing height, and an adult height sling swing. We added extra chain to lower one of the sling swings, and the platform swing to small person height. It is popular! And strong enough for an adult or two to enjoy some playground memories. Suggestions: - Be sure to leave *at least* 12 between swings. - Install all of your swing anchors *before* you assemble the frame. - Make sure at least one end of each of your timbers will fit cleanly and snugly into the brackets, and mark it so you dont have to guess before assembling. (We used a flapwheel sanding disk on the angle grinder to adjust the ends of the top span, and one leg.) - We also used the angle grinder with sanding disk to rounding the corners a bit, all down the length of all four legs. (safer if a child happens to run into it) - Do make sure that you only drill your pilot holes half the depth of the lag screws, so they will tighten down well. - Have at least a couple of strong adult friends help to stand it up. - After erecting, move the bottom of each of the legs out to its far corner till it stops (there will be a little play, and you want to minimize that). - Check that there is no movement, by leaning/pushing on the legs in all directions. - Hang those swings, and call in the kids! (you may want to take a turn on it first, after all, you earned it).

> 3 dayThis product is super simple to install, all you need is a power drill. I ended up using a power drill to drill my pilot holes and a impact drill to drive the lag bolts but this could be done with some old fashioned elbow grease. My local home depot didn’t have 4x6x10’s so I had to settle for a 4x6x12 and use my miter saw to cut down to my desired length of 10ft. So if you want to avoid having to cut either see if the lumber yard will cut it for you or just find the 4x6x10. Anyways back to installation, a lot of people who have rated it bad state that the lumber they bought didn’t fit in the brackets and they had to spend all afternoon forcing the lumber or manually reducing the size to make it fit. Save yourself the trouble and wait to buy the lumber after you have received the brackets so you can take them to the lumber yard and verify they fit. After that you literally slide the the lumber into the brackets, drill pilot holes and screw the lag bolts in. I’d look at instructions on their website and watch a few videos on YouTube to see how other people built theirs so you can learn from their mistakes or successes. I decided to attach the brackets to the 4x6x10 first, then measured and attached all my swing hangers to the correct spacing while on the ground. I wouldn’t wait to do this or you’ll be doing this on the ladder measuring from below which makes things more difficult. After that I moved the 4x6x10 to its final location in the back yard, this step is also important, there’s no need to work in the hot sun if not necessary, do all this in your shaded garage then finish out in the yard. Next thing I did was lay the top support on its side and insert the 4x4x8s into the slots, drill my pilot holes and drive my lag screws in. You’ll need to do this 1 at a time and then flip the top support over and repeat on the side. I did this all on my own, the only thing that required the most effort was lifting it up on all 4 legs. It was heavy and a bit tricky but I was able to do it. If you have a friend have them help you. My daughter and son love it and honestly upset I didn’t build this sooner. Definitely recommend.
