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

Excelente, lo utilice para guindar un columpio Wind Rider Swing, quedó muy fuerte y seguro.

These Eastern Jungle Gym Glider Horse Brackets are made of welded, heavy gauge steel. They are nicely finished to eliminate welding splatter and sharp corners. They are, if anything, overbuilt for the purpose as are the other Eastern Jungle Gym swing components we used. I cannot imagine that even very active children could stress such heavyweight parts. The painted finish is smooth and generously applied. The paint appears to resist abrasion well. I was prompted to comment on the brackets because I had read a number of comments by other reviewers stating that the u-bolts they received are not long enough. The comments piqued my curiosity to the point that I contacted the company to inquire whether there is, or was, a run of short u-bolts. They assured me that they were not aware of short u-bolts, but they were aware that some folks apparently experienced problems. They did say that it is not necessary to remove the u-bolt nuts during installation, only loosen them enough that the top beams can be centered on the swing beam. I can confirm that the u-bolts I received are perfectly sized for the purpose. When tightened properly the bolt threads projected one thread past the nylon lock-nut insert. Be aware that the brackets do not come with installation instructions, and that might cause some problems. I found the installation self-explanatory but, since I installed the brackets after the swing set was erected, it was a bit more challenging. If possible, install the brackets (and swing hangers) before raising the swing set. The brackets I received came with through-bolts that require drilling accurate 90 degree holes, as do the swing hangers. It is certainly easier to drill accurately on sawhorses down on the ground rather than up on a ladder. (Some reviewers state that they received lag-bolts to secure the brackets. Makes me wonder if they might have ordered brackets from another manufacturer.) Overall these brackets (and all of the Eastern Jungle Gym parts I have used) have far exceeded my expectations. (I represented a number of manufacturers of various kinds of finished steel products over the years and have a critical eye for quality.) I do think that an instruction sheet should be included with the brackets or available online, particularly since removing the u-bolts might cause problems. Id also recommend heavier packaging and some padded packing material to keep the parts separated in shipping. That said, the parts arrived in great shape and were easy to install. The acid test; the grand-kids love the swings and accessories. Try as they might, the swing-set stands rock solid and secure.

I ordered these to hang a glider, but these are very heavy duty and Im sure they could be used for something much heavier. Im very impressed with their quality.

Works great on our rainbow playscape and much cheaper than the cost of rainbow. Very sturdy and holds the weight of 2 kiddos ages 6 and 7. Easy to install.

Its fine but we did not need this and should not have spent that much money

Very strong

Good stuff

These parts are heavy and solid, and they are easy to install, especially if you have a long drill bit. If you have a short drill bit like I do, it requires a little extra care with measuring where to drill the hole so the holes from opposite sides of the wood meet.

It holds up nicely. Perfect for our horse swing. Study construction. Easy to assemble.

Used to suspend a glider on a very old swingset. Easy to install and Easily fit the old set.
