> 24 hourGreat product. Easy to install (I did it with a little help from my mom). Comes with everything you need to hang the glider, including the swing hangers themselves (I was not sure it would have those). No instructions come with it so you just have to use common sense and figure it out. I would say that some people may need some directions if they are not handy. You must have a large drill bit and drill for installation. It comes with the option of a bolt or screws. I used the bolt as my wooden beam is a 4X6 and it was perfect but if your beam is any thicker you will have to use the enclosed screws (4) to screw it to the beam as the bolt wont be long enough to go all the way thru anything any thicker. Honestly, we thought about just using lumber to make one of these ourselves, but by the time you buy lumber and hardware that is included here, you spend almost as much and it would be alot more work.

> 24 hourWork great for what they are. The end caps on the tubing are just barely tack-welded on, however. One of my brackets, one of the tack welds has already broken. All in all, probably not a big deal.

> 24 hourUsed to supplement a glider swing installation. Eastern Jungle Gym knows how to design and construct quality wooden swing set accessories. I am really impressed with everything I have bought that has allowed me (a 78 yr old grandmother) to build a double incredible wooden swing set for grandkids 12 and 3. I intend to add a tower/fort with slide in between the two swing sets to tie them together. I am having a blast.

> 24 hourThis is a must if you want your glider to glide correctly! This fits right over the beam perfectly. I have to admit, my husband didnt even screw it in (Im not recommending this). After much protesting, he proved to me that it wouldnt come off, even with hard swinging. It does squeak during gliding though, which probably wouldnt happen if it was bolted down. This bracket will last forever, and worth the price!

> 24 hourThese parts are heavy and solid, and they are easy to install, especially if you have a long drill bit. If you have a short drill bit like I do, it requires a little extra care with measuring where to drill the hole so the holes from opposite sides of the wood meet.

> 24 hourPerfect for our 2 person swing that didn’t mention it would need these brackets! We had for years but it wouldn’t work right and now it’s great with these brackets. Great purchase!

> 24 hourFrom a mechanical standpoint, this thing looks like it could hold a lot of weight securely, which is what you are primarily looking for in a glider bracket. HOWEVER - three points: 1) The box looked like it was reused 4 or 5 times over, and was not taped up very well 2) The claim hardware for mounting to your swingset is false. I went to my local hardware store and spent $10 on stainless steel bolts, washers and locking nuts. Also, no instructions were included. 3) There was some paint abrasion on the top of one of the brackets, which led to a little rust starting. I cleaned it up and spray painted it. At 8ft high, no one will notice and the kids just wanted to get playing. Just a note on installation: make sure your drill is straight and not on an angle, or else you can have some difficulties.
