150cm Black Mat Nest Swing with Swing Set Stand
The swing is very roomy, so could fit multiple kids easily. The Micro-Weave Polypropylene material (like trampoline matting) is waterproof, smooth and supportive. A lot of people prefer the smooth mat style versus the rope style.
The suggested age is 3+, while the child pictured is 3 years old and fell asleep in the middle quite safely. He was so comfortable, that this felt like the perfect bed.
The Stand: The powder-coated swing set stand is designed with sensory swings and nest swings in mind. It is a fairly large stand at 260cm wide by 206cm deep, so it is a multi-purpose stand that can hold lots of different swings.
Weight Limit: The stand has a weight capacity of 150kg (Suggested), 250kg (Tested) while the swing has a suggested limit of 140kg. So as a set, it's limited to 140kg.
Set includes: 1x swing set stand, 2x Mini-Straps with Carabiners & 1x Mini-Strap with Swivel (Total 3) and 1x black nest swing.
We have included an additional photo showing 2 pods on the stand for perspective, in case you wanted to hang other items from the stand. Additional swings can be ordered separately.
The Swing: The outer ring is padded for safety and comfort, while the swing uses 8 outer ropes rather than the usual 4 on smaller swings, for stability and strength. The tabs connecting the mat to the padded ring keep the mat taut, though the mat will stretch a bit after some use.
Weather Resistance: The stand is powder coated and the swing is made from Micro-Weave Polypropylene, which are both weather resistant. That means it can be used outdoors, though we'd still suggest not leaving it in the sun & rain permanently, to avoid fading.
Hanging: You can hang the swing from 1 or 2 hanging points. Hanging from 1 point will mean the swing can spin, while hanging from 2 points will mainly swing forward and backward, not spin.
Adjusting: The swing has adjustable ropes, so you can adjust to a suitable height depending on the age and height of the children or adults using it.
Accessories: The optional accessories are only offered for convenience, in case you want to have extra hanging locations in addition to the stand. The set already includes everything you need to use the stand and nest swing.
Why is this one so popular?
- The stand avoids the need for a suitable tree or installing fittings in your property.
- The stand is a good size to match with lots of our most popular swings.
- The wide and deep dimensions of the stand give it good stability.
- It can be set up in a play room, verandah, or yard, as long as there is space.
- The swing is impressively large, so it is popular with kids and adults alike.
Note:
Please follow the manual when setting it up. There is a trick that you should follow to get the swing together easier. In case you need more help, here is a video showing the final step.
Note for TAS, WA, NT: This item has a heavy item surcharge for orders to TAS, WA and NT. If this applies to you, please add the surcharge through the drop-down above the order button.
The set for a family that wants the biggest swing but has nowhere to attach hanging points to. The stand just requires a lawn, a covered deck or a large play room with about 2.6m by 2.1m of floor to spare. It suits children and adults together, rated to 140kg as a set, and because the stand is galvanised and powder coated and the mat is polypropylene, it can stay set up outdoors, although out of permanent sun and rain for the longest life. The stand is also wide enough to hang 2 smaller swings at once; see the extra photo showing two pods on it for scale.
Both manuals are on this page. The stand bolts together, then the nest swing hangs from the crossbar on the mini straps supplied: from 2 mini straps around 1 metre apart to swing forward and back, or from 1 centre point to swing in more directions or to spin. Set the height with the swing's adjustable ropes, between 1.2m and 1.6m, since the straps can be moved along the crossbar but do not adjust vertically. On grass, the optional spiral pegs stop the base lifting when the swinging gets energetic. Orders to TAS, WA and NT carry a heavy item surcharge, chosen from the drop-down above the Add to Cart button.
Safety and care for nest swings
- Hang the swing no more than 40cm above grass, sand, wood chips or a mat, with clearance on each side. It may be hung from a swing set, beam or a tree limb at least 25cm thick.
- Sit in the centre when swinging alone. Avoid standing, and do not jump on the mat, which concentrates the load on one spot.
- Do not twist the ropes, which weakens them. Avoid having them rub against objects, and check regularly for significant and worsening fraying.
- Assembly takes one or two adults. The 150cm swing is designed to be tight, so the final join needs a firm push; keep fingers clear of the joints when doing so.
- Recommended for ages 3 and up, with adult supervision.

Safety and care for swing stands
- Set the stand on a flat surface, clear of toys and anything a child could bump into or trip on. Grass or matting is safer than a hard floor.
- Double check that every bolt and connection is tight, then adjust the chain or straps so the swing hangs at a height that is easy to get on and off.
- The X-Stand, U-Stand and tripod are for sitting or gentle swinging. Strong swinging belongs on a swing set stand with a wider base. If the swing is rated lower than the stand, the swing's limit applies.
- Keep an eye out for sliding, leg lifting or tipping. Noting such would mean needing to take extra care not to swing overly strongly, and you may consider fixing the stand down, eg. our Spiral Pegs into dirt or grass, or adding weights to the base, such as Velcro sandbags from eBay.
- When spinning from a single point, put a swivel above the carabiners so the rotation is smoother and puts less force on the stand.
- On soft ground, peg or sandbag the legs; indoors, use floor protectors under the feet.
- The stands are powder coated for weather, but give them some cover over long periods outside, and bring the swing in when it is not being used.

Can the nest swing and stand stay outside?
Yes, the stand is galvanised and powder coated and the micro weave polypropylene mat is waterproof, so the set can live in the yard. We still suggest keeping it out of permanent sun and rain if wanting to truly maximise its life. Check the bolts, straps and ropes at the start of each season.
What is the weight limit of the set?
140kg, which is the swing's suggested limit. The stand on its own is rated to 150kg suggested and 250kg tested, but the lower rating of the swing applies. That covers an adult lying down or two or three children together, sitting or lying in the centre of the mat rather than standing or jumping on it.
How hard is the assembly?
The stand goes smoothly if you follow the prescribed order of steps in the manual. The nest swing is also easy enough, if you follow the trick mentioned in the manual: the mat is made to be tight on the padded ring so it stays taut, and the final join of the padded ring has a specific step to follow (building it as 2 semi-circles first, then folding them both upwards, spreading out the mat, then pushing them downwards) with fingers clear of the joints. Two adults make it easier, but it's possible with one.
