Item Description
Note 1: Stand pictured for perspective only. Stand not included.

Note 2: You'll find some optional accessories on this page. The weight capacity of the accessories may be lower than that of the swing, so do take note.


For heavy duty users such as schools or clinics who require the most solid option, this nest swing uses steel-core rope, chains and the circle is 10cm thick, meaning it can support up to 500kg compared to 100kg for regular 100cm nest swings.

It is made from weather resistant materials, and comes with thick 50cm galvanised chains and stainless steel carabiners, so it can be swapped between 180cm and 230cm tall.

Following is a summary of the main differences between the heavy duty and a regular 100cm nest swing:

Difference between heavy duty and regular nest swing

To get the most out of the 500kg weight limit, it's suggested to have an equally strong stand. Our stands are designed to match with our regular nest swings, so if using it with high weight, you may need to source a heavy duty stand elsewhere, or to have another type of setup.

Hanging
It can be hung from 1 point for spinning and swinging in every direction, or from 2 points to have it swing mainly forward and backward. The swing includes 2x 50cm chains, each with 2 large carabiners, so you can hang it with or without the extension chains.
Who it suits

For schools, clinics, therapy rooms and play spaces that need the most solid nest swing we sell. The steel core rope, the 10cm thick ring, the galvanised chains and the stainless steel carabiners rate it to 500kg, against 100kg for our regular 100cm nest swings, and the materials are weather resistant, so it can live outside. At 22kg it is heavy and carries a lot of momentum, which suits a supervised setting where nobody stands in front of it while it moves.

Hanging and setup

It arrives assembled, so setup is attaching the two 50cm galvanised chains, if you want to adjust the height, and clipping the swing to its hanging points. With the chains it hangs up to 230cm tall, and without them 180cm. The manual suggests two hanging points with the ropes angled slightly outwards, to swing forward and back; from a single point would let it swing in more directions or spin. The 500kg rating only applies when the hanging points or stand are just as strong. It is too tall for our medium and large swing set stands, so plan a solid beam, or a heavy duty frame that is tall enough and rated to match.

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. Keep fingers clear of the joints when joining the frame.
  • Recommended for ages 3 and up, with adult supervision.

Questions about this product

How is the heavy duty nest swing different from a regular 100cm nest swing?

It is built for heavier, more regular use: steel core rope, a 10cm thick ring, galvanised chains and stainless steel carabiners, and a 500kg rating instead of 100kg. It is also heavier at 22kg and comes pre-assembled. For a family backyard, the regular 100cm or 150cm nest swings are usually enough; this one is for spaces that need a higher weight rating and more solid construction.

Can the heavy duty nest swing hang from our stands?

No, it does not fit on our medium or large swing set stands, because it hangs 180cm tall even without its chains, which is too tall for those stands. Those stands are made for the height and weight limit of the regular nest swings. Hang it from a solid beam, or from a heavy duty frame that is tall enough and rated to match, since the lowest rating in the setup applies.

Can the heavy duty nest swing stay outside?

The materials are weather resistant, and a shaded spot helps but is not necessary. Check the ropes and chains for wear, lubricate the metal parts if needed, and keep the bolts around the middle net tight; they take a 5mm Allen key. Do not use it while it is wet, because the seat can be slippery, and avoid damaging the rigid tape over the ends of the seat ropes.
