Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Enhance Your Stability with BETOOLL Brackets Bracket Mounting Hardware by Dean Love

NOT stable: Play Sets and Play Equipment

These mounts are a good idea but impractical. FYI if you buy these: the tags come from opposite sides. This means that the label is facing forwards on one and backwards on the other. And they deviate. So you have right, left, front, back, although this is not mentioned anywhere in the instructions. Here's my problem: I assembled everything despite the lack of instructions and it looked great. But it moves. More than I would like. After about a month I notice that the wood is cracking. The top beam is curved. And I'm sure it comes from the movement. I had to stop the kids from using their new swing set until I figured out how to "fix" it. My problem is that there are no specs for mounts, stabilizers or anything like that. The ads claim that you can build a working framed swing with these hangers and wood, but that doesn't seem to be true. And the thought of a 40 or 50 pound piece of wood falling on my kids is enough to make me want to get them back. Unfortunately the return window is closed. So now I'm stuck with expensive braces that I'm not sure I can trust. And I'm not architecturally inclined, so I'm not sure how to fix this, or even say if it's safe to "fix" it. And considering how much money I spent on all the pieces in this set, I'm beyond annoyed.
