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

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!

The bracket itself is rather self-explanatory. In my opinion, no instructions were needed, so it fits that none were provided. At first glance, this is a heavy-duty piece of equipment. It seems to be very solid and well made. Ive already installed it on one end of our swing set beam. I feel confident that this will support our backyard swing set. The only complaint (which has been resolved by quick and excellent Amazon customer service) is that I ordered a pair, but only received a single bracket. That put a damper on our construction timeline, but not a big deal. Just teaches all of us a lesson in patience. Amazon is sending the second one to us for free with two-day shipping.

When these arrived they were sturdy and heavy duty!! I was impressed! Ive never built a swing set before. We did it in two hours with 1pregnant mom, grandma and grandpa...it went up so fast we were so amazed. No instructions, no video and no building experience. Im gonna get another set because things being what they are the cost is just gonna go up. Great product, Great price!

Used these in combination with a middle bracket to make a 16 A-frame swingset. Pros: + Durable paint and steel, holding up perfectly after a few months in the elements + Included GALVANIZED hardware - important! + Snug fit - I see a lot of people complain about it being a tight fit for a standard big box 4x6. I see that as a good thing because I know its not going anywhere. About 15 minutes with a hammer and chisel and youll be good to go, but Id also recommend letting your pressure treated wood dry out for a week or two beforehand to make it easier. Cons: - As others have said, regular 4x4s fit a little loose in the leg holes. I didnt use shims or anything, but I wish they fit a bit more snug. - Lack of documentation: A little time with an angle finder and some experimenting and I found that a 15 degree bevel and 15 degree miter will get your legs to sit more or less flat on grass. It would have been helpful if the angles for the legs were provided by the vendor. All in all Im happy with the brackets; for less than the price of a premade swingset we got to build our own custom one.

Added this to our large solar array for some outside fun. Used Home depot Prowood pressure treated lumber. Went with a 12 foot 4x6 that is attached to an existing 6x6 and the other end is supported by 12 ft 4x4s buried into the ground about a foot. The top beam extends about 32 inches through the a frame bracket for the trapeze. The swings are a little tight with the two swings and I should have went with a 16 ft top beam. The bracket slid right onto the wood with no issues. I was expecting to have to plane the wood a bit based on reviews but that was not needed. Took maybe an hour to assemble and dig my holes to get it level. Seems to support my 200 lbs at full speed swinging no problem. The 6x6 is anchored in several hundred lbs of concrete though. You probably want anchors if you are building a free-standing frame.

For what a metal swingset cost you can use these brackets and treated lumber and get 30 years for the same cost. This kit requires no cutting if you use the recommended lengths. you basically need a hammer a decent rachet and a 1/2 socket . 1 hour of time. 4x6 are not easily easy to come by I used two 2x6x10s for my top beam I glued the boards and sandwiched them. Its so heavy I cant see flipping it but concrete the legs inbthe ground would be wise

These are the best brackets you can use. I have assembled two sets for our house and the assembly is easy. You may have to shave some wood off of the beam but it is not that difficult

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

These brackets are great! Made putting together an A-frame swingset extremely simple. We bought the following from Home Depot: -12 ft top beam (6 x 4 pressure treated beam) - 4 x 10 ft side legs (4 x 4 pressured treated beams) Then we got swingset anchors for all sides. We went with the 12 ft top beam because we wanted to get as much space on the beam as possible. We got the 10 ft side beams because it gives more swing radius/height for when my kids get older. However, we could have easily done 8 ft beams on the sides. Once we had the beams, we sanded the rough edges to prevent splinters, then coated with stain/sealer before putting together. We did have to sand 2 of the beams at the end where they go in to the brackets. Id read about that from another review and glad I did. Beams are not uniformly cut and not exact, so just make sure you have a sander handy in order to get the ends in, if needed. The whole thing took less than a few hours total. I should note that we are newbies to putting swingsets together, but Id read another review from a rookie whod put it together herself in a few hours, which gave us confidence we could do it. Bottom line, if we can do it, you can too! Also, highly recommend a disc swing and horse glider swing (those are the two we put on this). My kids love them!

Made my swing better then first got it. Very impressive
