Eastern Jungle Gym Easy 1-2-3 A-Frame 2 Brackets for Swing Set with All Mounting Hardware, Green

Made my swing better then first got it. Very impressive

Awesome worked just as needed

Heavy duty and 4x4s worked well in them.

This product was a time and life saver. My son and I had the task of building a swing set for my grandson. At first, we were trying to figure out angles for the wood. We thought we had solved everything but when we tested the structure, we were not sure if it was sturdy or safe for a one year old. I remember seeing these brackets on YouTube and decided to check Amazon. Well, we ordered and a few days later, they were at our house. We assembled the swing set . Everything went well. I only gave it four stars on the sturdiness because I noticed when we were tightening the screws, the metal deflected a little but that’s just the grandfather in me. The parents were pleased and our grandson loves his swing

Went together easy and really sturdy.

So getting the posts into the brackets was likely the worst part. A couple went in smoothly, but the rest I had to sand down and plane away some wood and hammer on with a mallet to get them in. If your budget allows, I would recommend buying some decent quality galvanized lag bolts as the provided ones are pretty chintzy. I snapped one off and went out and bout some good ones. The two major complaints I have is that they should have formed these with a little thicker gauge material considering that A: they are expected to hold a 4x6 beam and B: you’re sinking 3” lag screws into them which causes them to distort a tad when you tighten them. I bought the center pie a as well and ran another 4x6 beam to extend it another 6 feet and am not super impressed with its sturdiness as well. However, all in all they are a decent product and I would recommend for a budget friendly option. We shall see how they hold up as time goes on.

The only thing keeping me from giving this product a 5.0 is that a heads up that the 4x4 and 4x6 posts arent always an exact size and to be prepared to shave the top 4 of the posts down in order to fit in the brackets if needed. In the end, it turned out amazing!

Setup wasnt toughest all. Seems pretty sturdy so far. Two things to consider. 1. Buy better hardware. Had one bolt snap off. 2. Shave down the edges of the 4x6. It makes it easier to slight these over it. The first side I had to beat in with a hammer and 2x4. Shaved the other side and it slid right on.

This thing is heavy duty and built to last. Made building our swing set a breeze!

Good price , perfect for doing swing project and super heavy .
