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

These brackets are awesome All you need is the wood… 4x4’s and a 4x6 Very sturdy and heavy so have some friends handy A bag of bracket screws was missing and an email to the manufacturer was all it took to get a bag mailed to me Great customer service by Eastern Jungle Gym Co

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~

Solid product. Makes assembly of an A-frame set a breeze. Was looking for a way to replace the attached swing portion to my boys playground set because they were about to destroy it. This was a great choice and sure beats having to design and assemble the frame from scratch. Website recommends 4x4x8 for the legs and 4x6x10 for the top, but like many reviewers I upgraded. I used a 4x6x12 for top and 4x4x8 2/3 for legs (originally used 4x4x10 for legs but it was huge and I didnt want to have to grab a ladder to change the swings out every time; used a circular saw to cut them down to size with the help of my wife). At this height, my wife (~510) is able to change them out on her tiptoes. Such an easy and cost effective way to set up your own swing set - I will certainly be spreading the word!

This product works decent enough, however you may want to put in some additional support that I showed in the picture. After two years, the entire swingset moves away more than I feel comfortable with; so you can go by the hardware store and pick up some steel conduit piping, Cut into 2 foot lengths, hammer each end flat and drill a hole. Then mount them as a hypotenuse to the corners and it will stiffen up the entire swingset and make it way more safe

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.

Heavy duty and 4x4s worked well in them.

Made my swing better then first got it. Very impressive

Brackets seem very well built and are easy to install. I would definitely recommend these if you are looking for an easy, inexpensive way to build a solid swing set.

The attached picture shows the finished product. I have 5 kids with another on the way so I was building this with the intent for it to last a good 18+ years and that it would be big and sturdy enough for even teenagers to enjoy. Im only about a month or so into using this swing set, so well see how long it lasts :). This a-frame piece made setting up the swing beam and a-frame much easier than rigging something up myself. I did 10 4x4s for the legs of the a-Frame, so this is pretty tall (approx 9), and I was a bit nervous about whether this would be strong enough. I just added 2x6 boards across the a-frame for added stability and I think that is sufficient. Some other reviewers have remarked about the difficulty in getting this piece on the 4x6 swing beam and I can confirm that was the biggest challenge. For me, my swing beam is 16 long, and as it should, this piece fits snugly (although the rivets holding on the logo for Eastern Jungle Gym make it even tighter). But getting this to move 8 to the middle of the beam was quite a challenge. I ended up laying my beam across several 2x4s on the ground with this piece slid on the end of the beam, then proceeded to move the beam across the 2x4s like a battering ram into a post (and yes that was as hard as it sounds). Each time moved it a few inches along. Difficult, but it worked. My 4x6 had also spent a few days in the rain and had softened up a bit, so I think that helped too. If you get this particular piece (the 90 degree a-frame), just make sure your swing beam doesnt have wide variations in its dimensions and be prepared for some elbow grease to get this on.

If not for the fact that they do not provide any recommendation on hardware, I would give this 5 stars. When I received it, I looked it over and assumed that the holes lined up and I would be using through bolts. Just did not look close enough... Got the 1st leg into the bracket and just realized that it needs lag bolts, not bolts that will go all the way through. Very frustrated, because if they would just have this in a piece of paper in the box or in the description on Amazon, it would have saved me a trip to the store and a waste of a few hours. So, since they will not tell you what you need, I will. 02 quantity brackets.

I believe I used 5/16, check for yourself. swings, swing hardware Total cost is about $230 including these brackets and less swings & swing hardware. Swings will be $50 to $100 per swing depending on the hardware and quality that you choose. Once I got the correct hardware, install when easy. Having a 3lb or 5lb hammer to hit them all the way in was helpful. Some comments talked about the tight fit, I was happy for that, I want the fit to be tight. I have a impact wrench and this makes the install of each bolt probably 10 times easier. In the end, I am happy I chose these as it made the build go much easier with much less brain power required, no cutting of angles, etc. I have done it the other way in the past and this is definitely the way to go.
