Review on πŸ–€ Black Ring and Trapeze Combo Swing by Swing-N-Slide by Mark Green

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Sturdy seesaw

I have an A frame in my garden with a bench swing. There were two snags and a large tree a few yards from this point so I opted for a ring and trap combination rather than alternatives for my 5 year old son. Of course I could move the bench and put a regular swing on the other end, but I figured he'd like to hold on to the rings and push off the tree, and I was right. The kit includes two metal chains coated in plastic to prevent corrosion, a harness bar which to this day my son completely ignores, two strong plastic rings and four oval carabiner-like hooks to connect the rings and harness bar to the chains. . You can of course omit the rings or the bar if you wish. The hooks can be hand tightened and will probably be fine, but I used a wrench to tighten them more tightly. I love how you can set the trapeze higher but still keep the two chains connected. However, I don't really like how the harness is connected to these hooks. Because the hooks are so big, the bar hangs 3 chain links below where the hooks connect to the chains. I would prefer something that holds the trapeze bar more tightly to the chains so it doesn't move or wobble as much.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Outdoor
