First off, the swing hanger itself is great. It's heavy duty, and well coated to avoid any rusting. It comes with lag screws that can be used for a quick installation.However - here is the problem:Problem 1:The lag screws that it comes with have a cheap zinc coating on them - this would probably be fine if you are drilling into non pressure treated wood for indoor use. Given that this is meant for a swing set though, chances are that you are attaching the mounts outdoors to pressure treated wood. Pressure treated woo is highly corrosive and requires hot dipped galvanized screws/bolts to avoid corrosion. I initially installed the swing hangers with the stock hardware, and found that they started to rust and corrode after only a month.Problem 2:The lag screws are not a standard size, so you cannot simply swap these out for 1/2 hot dipped galvanized lag screws that you can get at Home Depot or Lowes. The holes in the swing hanger are too small to fit 1/2 hot dipped galvanized lag screws. So essentially you are forced to replace these almost 1/2 screws with 3/8 size hardware.Recommendation to the customer:If you are mounting to pressure treated wood, I recommend throwing out the hardware that comes with it, and replacing them with 3/8 galvanized bolts. I used bolts instead of screws because I had to size down and wanted the extra security of a bolt. Additionally, I already had the holes drilled for the almost 1/2 size screws so i could not use a 3/8 size lag screw.Some recommendations/ideas for the vendor:- Adjust the size of the holes in the swing hanger to accommodate 1/2 galvanized screws/bolts- Include galvanized hardware or don't include any hardware and tell the customer the size and type of hardware they should buy (likely galvanized if using pressure treated wood).
