Q:Is the hardware made of 100% brass?
Can you replace the chain with rope?

A: Hello Emmy,
The hardware used on the swing is marine grade stainless steel. If you decide to replace the chain with rope, make sure the rope is strong enough to hold the whole weight of the swing and the people sitting in it.
We don't have any pictures of how to hang the swing. There have been customers that have hung them from their porches, from swing frames, and trees. How you hang it will depend upon the location of the swing.
Thank you for the great questions!

A: Hi Emmy, you could replace the chain with rope [I would use at least 8-9mm climbing rope like Bluewater to be safe, but that's just me] and no the hardware is not brass.

Answer This Question
A: Hello Ace!
Unfortunately, Home Depot does not carry our cushions, but if you search the words "Yacht Club Swing Cushion - 55.5" x 18.5", you should be able to find a cushion that will fit the swing nicely.
Thank you for the great question!

Q:After the tops of the posts are cut, the blocks will be installed between the beams and the swing will hang on these two supports.

Answer This Question
A: Hello,
Since we are not experts with building structures, we suggest you reach out to a structural engineer to ask about which size beam you should use. We can tell you that the structure should be able to support a minimum of 500 pounds and possibly up to 1,000 pounds depending on how many people you have sitting on the Yacht Club Swing.
Thank you for the great question!

A: Hello!
Included in the chain kit are 4 eye bolts, 4 snap hooks, 2 S hooks, and 4 5ft. chains. The S hooks attach to the end of the of the 5 ft. chain so anything above the S hook is not included. This would consist of any attachment hardware including extra chain needed to secure the swing to a structure is not included.

Because I represent Trex Outdoor Furniture, I wasn't positive on this answer for you. I reached out to The Home Depot and was informed that you'll need to contact your local Home Depot. Each local store has different staff or contractors they use for their assemblies and installations.

A: Hello Ann,
I'm not sure if you can get it assembled at the store, then delivered and hung. That is something you will have to call and ask the Home Depot if they do. Jay Trex Customer Care Team.

Q:Can this swing be hung from a tree?
by|Apr 10, 2017
2 Answers
Answer This Question
A: Hello!
Yes you can hang your swing from a tree if you'd like. As long as it can support the weight of the swing and the people sitting on it. This is the same rule of thumb for anything that you hang the swing from.
Thank you for the great question!

A: Hi RD.
Yes, you can hang the Yacht Club Tree House Patio Swing from a tree branch as long as it will support the weight when you are on the swing.
The manufacturer does not warranty any faulty construction when hanging the swing. Only the parts of the swing.
The swing must be 18 inches off the ground and no more than 9 feet from its hanging point, as that is the length of the chain.
If you have any more questions you can always call Trex Outdoor Furniture at:
1-877-907-8739 M-F 8am to 5pm, EST
Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Q:What is the recommended minimum height above the floor to mount the swing hangers?
by|Dec 2, 2016
1 Answer
Answer This Question
A: We do not have a minimum height to mount our swings above the floor, it is entirely preferential for the customer. The recommended width of the hanging mounts is 68 inches. The chain can be adjusted to a maximum 9 ft porch height. The swing comes with 5 feet of chain. We do recommend that you hang the chain from a beam vs a rafter. Here is a link to some of the hanging information.
