Eastern Jungle Gym Heavy Duty Brackets (Pair) for Backyard Swing Set Horse Glider Seat - Adjustable to Mount to Any Size Wooden Swing Beam

05-20-2014 Let me start off saying that this thing is BEEFY! It has sliding angles attached to the bracket by u-bolts, with self locking nuts. I installed this set on a 4 x 6 using 2 5 7/16 bolts, flat washers, lock washers AND lock nuts (i know overkill). I would recommend using 4.5 long 7/16 bolts as the the 5 long ones did nothing but make me wrench the nuts down further, my local hardware store didnt have 4.5 so I made due. This leads me to state that the holes drilled into the angles seem to be 12mm holes, as a 1/2 diameter bolt was too big, hence me using the 7/16. The install process was hindered by lack of instructions, but if your the type to install these yourself then the missing instructions wont be an issue. I used a 17 spacing from center to center as thats what the other accessories on my playground were spaced to. After spacing it out I measured approximately 7.5 of bracket overhang on either side of the 4 x 6 beam, squared the bracket to the beam, clamped the angles to the beam with a 6 c-clamp, then tightened the angles to the bracket with the u-bolts. I traced the angle holes onto the beam with a pencil on all four angle holes. Using a 1/8 drill bit I drilled a pilot hole from the middle of the marked hole on the beam as straight as I could to the other side. One hole came out perfect, the other one was just a tad off, so make sure you are perpendicular to the side of the and it should come out alright. I used a 7/16 drill bit and enlarged both holes with great results thanks to the initial pilot hole. I gently tapped the 7/16 bolts through the angles and secured it with one flat washer on the head side and one flat washer and a lock washer on the other side, finished off by the lock nut (again, overkill because of lock washer). Now, why only 4 stars? The brackets were not shipped with the attaching hardware that was advertised as part of the product, nor did it have instructions!!! As you can see from the first paragraph I had to purchase additional hardware to complete this install.

Very strong and easy to fit. I was going to use wooden brackets but so pleased I went with these, much stronger and easy to fit and adjust.

I purchased 2 of the same swing sets and 2 of the same gliders. I liked this kit so much on the first set that I ordered it for the second swing as well. We did have to add 2 pieces of wood to the swingset I purchased. This kit is designed to be used on a 4 x 4 piece of wood and the top beam of the swingset is only a 2 x. A piece of 2 X 4 and a screw and the bracket fits perfectly.

Very sturdy and well built, thick material. Easy to assemble and install and very gentle smooth glide for glider swing. A huge hit for the whole family.

Best Hangers Available! Strong, Sturdy, and Extremely Well Built! Installed in under 20 minutes. The only thing I bought was longer bolts to attach it to my swing set.

No instructions, had to search online to find out how far to space the brackets apart (found someone saying18-20). Also use a 3/8 drill bit for the bolts (again no instructions on that). Make sure you drill perfectly straight (sarcasm) because the u bolts you need to tighten dont provide you any margin for error. If you dont drill perfectly straight through the board you will need to likely remove the washers so you can get enough thread on the u bolt for the nut to catch on.

We picked this up a few months back to our daughters playground set. It was easy to install and is made from good quality heavy gauge steel. The green finish matched the rest of the hardware on our set and looks fantastic. So far its working like a champ and her friends love to come over and swing together.

These are great we were able to install them quickly and easily. They come with all the hardware.

A must for the swing seat

Work great for what they are. The end caps on the tubing are just barely tack-welded on, however. One of my brackets, one of the tack welds has already broken. All in all, probably not a big deal.
