> 24 hourOnly problem I had was the company mailed me a single bracket when I ordered a double. I was required to send the single back and received the double the next day. All the hardware and brackets are very sturdy. Completed assembly in about an hour. Both my sons and myself are very pleased. (4x6x10, 4x4x8). Don’t even try and make the legs 10’ it looks ridiculous. Hope this helps.

> 24 hourOnce assembled, this works great. I ran into some issues getting it set up though. It seems easy. Just slide the boards in and screw it on. The problem is if your board is even a little warped, it can be really difficult to wrangle into the sleeve, which tends to be pretty snug. I recommend 2 people for assembling this: one to hold the board up and the other to slide this on. Once the boards have been seated, the bolts go in smoothly, and once its assembled, it results in a good, solid swing set.

> 24 hourOpted for 10 ft 4x4s which gave me around 9 ft of clearance to remove my truck shell. Needed a way to remove my top. Straps for now. Will be using rope pulleys to then lower and store out of the way. Large swing on order for dual purpose use. Thinking about building another for the smaller kiddos.

> 24 hourUsed a sledge hammer and a block of wood to drive the brackets on to the 4 x 6 top piece but Id rather a snug fit. 4 x 4 legs slid in easily. I did add a 2 x 6 brace between the legs for a true A frame. Using pressure treated wood be ready for a heavy lift to get it upright and moved in to place. Im very happy with the quality and the end result. The only thing is where Amazon advertises that this is from a small business brand. Support small. When I got the box it says Made in China. Must be a small China business.

> 24 hourSo after reading through all of the reviews and comparing this to other similar products I found this one to be the best. Now as a woman was it easy.. not really but easier than expected. I used 4x6x12 for beam and 4x4x8 for legs. I purchased the lag screws for the belt swing anchors. Other than that.. this was a good experience for me and the children. I did have to tap the wood a little. The wood to me was just heavy and please have some help. Lifting this was incredibly difficult and Requires some strong folks. All of the lad screws and washers came in box. Being a little hefty hefty (LOL) I decided to see if it would handle my weight AND IT DOES! With this pandemic going on I really needed this. If you are unsure of buying the pricey 3500$ gym sets just get this, the children just want to swing. O yeah if you use the 8ft legs get extra chain bc I had to hop up on the swing. The wood fit in my traverse to. Now it took me 2 half days to put it together because I used hand tools. Dont be like me get a drill that is Fully charged. Overall I would buy this again and will be adding a rock wall soon!

> 24 hourUsed these in combination with a middle bracket to make a 16 A-frame swingset. Pros: + Durable paint and steel, holding up perfectly after a few months in the elements + Included GALVANIZED hardware - important! + Snug fit - I see a lot of people complain about it being a tight fit for a standard big box 4x6. I see that as a good thing because I know its not going anywhere. About 15 minutes with a hammer and chisel and youll be good to go, but Id also recommend letting your pressure treated wood dry out for a week or two beforehand to make it easier. Cons: - As others have said, regular 4x4s fit a little loose in the leg holes. I didnt use shims or anything, but I wish they fit a bit more snug. - Lack of documentation: A little time with an angle finder and some experimenting and I found that a 15 degree bevel and 15 degree miter will get your legs to sit more or less flat on grass. It would have been helpful if the angles for the legs were provided by the vendor. All in all Im happy with the brackets; for less than the price of a premade swingset we got to build our own custom one.

> 24 hourThe brackets were great. I bought and put them to use in May 2020. I’m writing this review two years later because the zinc coated lag screws that came with the brackets have rusted inside the 4x4 pressure-treated (for ground contact) legs and two have snapped off. I discovered it when I thought one had somehow wiggled out when I saw an empty screw hole. When I tried to replace it, I found that the old lag screw was rusted so badly that it had broken apart inside the leg . Since I couldn’t put a new screw in that same spot, I removed the other screws in that leg so I could flip the leg over (bottom to top) and put it back in the bracket. While taking the screws out of the leg, a second screw snapped off (also rusted through). Bottom line: take your lag screws and washers to you local hardware store and buy galvanized same-size screws/washers before assembly.

> 24 hourThe bracket is tight on the 4x6 beam. It’s best to use a rasp to file down the wood before driving it onto the beam. The 4x4 post fit easy.
