BETOOLL A-Frame 2 Brackets Swing Set Bracket with Mounting Hardware (Green)

These would have been perfect IF all of the openings were the correct size. We had to cut and sand down 2 of the 4x4s to get them to fit. We measured the bracket openings and 2 of the openings were off by about 1/8. Also the openings for the too beam were slightly off too. We didnt have to cut them but had to sand them and bang on each side about 10 minutes to get them in.

Great product, you will have to persuade it on with a big hammer, as it is very tight. Does what it is supposed to do after that. I would recommend this product but be ready to work to get it together, and hope you never have to take it off.

Simple to use and very strong

If you’re looking at this product you’ve probably spent some time searching for the right swing set and it’s either too small, lacking features or too expensive. That was my case before coming across this product and this was the right choice for me. Product is sturdy, at great price . Before I share what sizes I used, always consider the manufacturers recommendations. Blue is not available from the manufacturer but I really wanted blue so I spray painted it. Sizes used (this exceeds the recommendations) : BEAM – 4”X6”X14’ – HIGHLY Recommend sanding portion to slide bracket in. LEGS – 4”X4”X10’ This set up will end up pretty heavy so you will need some help flipping to stay safe! Understanding these sizes are larger than recommended I wanted to put the brackets to the test while achieving the most out of the Swing set for actual use. So far all is great! Even though my children are still young I wanted to challenge this to last long enough to have them grow into the large set-up. While teenagers and mom / dad enjoy also. In the picture is my 10 month old son, My wife, and my 4 year old son. This set up is able to handle them swimming no problem and feels like it can take plenty more! Still need to add the wood braces across the legs and have an additional project on the side but found time to sit and share this review. If possible I’ll try to update with more pictures later.

One bracket was a little bent had to straighten with a hammer. Before you put them on I suggest running the skill saw down the tall side of the 4x6 first. I had to use a sledge hammer and a board to get the bracket onto the 4x6. The 4x4 slid right in.

The idea of these brackets is nice but they arent practical. FYI if you buy them: The tags go on opposite sides. Meaning, the tag on one will face forward, the other will face backward. And they do angle out. So there is a right, left, front, back to them even though this is mentioned no where in the instructions. Heres my issue: I got it all put together despite the instructions sorely lacking, and it looked great. But it moves. More than Im comfortable with. About a month later I notice the wood is cracking. The top beam is bowed. And Im sure its from the movement. Ive had to ban the kids from their new swing set til I can figure out how to fix it. My issue here is that there are no specifications for brackets or stabilizers or anything. The ad leads you to believe that you can build a functioning A frame swing set using these brackets and the specified wood and that doesnt seem to be true. And the idea that a 40 or 50lb piece of wood could fall on my kids is enough for me to want to return these. Unfortunately, the return window is closed. So now, Im stuck with expensive brackets that Im not sure I can trust. And Im not architecturally inclined so Im not sure how to fix it or even tell if its safe once I do fix it. And considering how much money Ive spent on all of the pieces for this set, Im more than annoyed.

I like the product. The only thing I don’t like is they should have left a little more tolerance to be able to put the 4 x 6 header and the 4x4 post in the slots without having to sand or shave them slightly. Would have been very quick to assemble except for that portion.

Worked great and nice metal. Very sturdy and easy to put together. Had to shave off the top of the 4x6 as its a bit tight but I would rather too tight the really loose brackets. Would definitely buy again or recomend.

Wood had to be trimmed sanded a lot to make fit as holes in metal arent square.

Used these brackets for a 4 rollback swing A-frame support. They made the frame come together easily and seem to be very sturdy. Yet they dont appear as bulky as some others we looked at.
