150cm Black Mat Nest Swing with Tripod Stand

Important Note: Please check in advance that the stand dimensions will fit in your space - it's large.

---

The Stand
The tripod stand is large at 260x260x260cm (along the base triangle) and 240cm tall, so it's usually best suited to outdoors. The large size means that it can fit all of our swings, and the swings can then be adjusted up and down using the chain and carabiner. It supports gentle to moderate swinging, as there is about 1m from the side of the 150cm nest swing to the poles (see the below video for an example). It also includes 3 standard pegs so you can fix it down. The stand is power coated for weather resistance.

The Swing
150cm is the largest size of nest swing available in Australia, and stocked only by Heavenly Hammocks & Swings, so it's totally unique! The most obvious advantage is that while a 100cm swing is mainly for kids, a 150cm swing can fit adults too. Add a quilt and pillows on top and you've got a very relaxing place to lay down (we've tried it and can confirm).

The swing is very roomy, so could fit multiple kids easily. The textilene micro-weave material is waterproof, smooth and supportive. A lot of people prefer the smooth mat style versus the rope style.

Since the swing is hung from 1 point, it's also able to spin. Keep spinning to a reasonable amount eg. if you find the chain winding too much, then you might want to install a swivel below the top carabiner.

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.

Swapping Swings
The chain and carabiner system makes it easy to latch on and off any swings you like. Other swings that you might consider include - a hangout, a pod, or a wrap swing.

Other Details
The suggested age is 3+. The weight limit of the stand is 80kg and the limit of the swing is 140kg, so overall for the set is 80kg.

Set Includes
Tripod Stand (Including 2x Carabiners, 1x Chain, 3x Standard Pegs, 1x Rope) and 150cm Black Nest Swing

Stand Advantages:

• Very Large - It can fit all of our swings.
• Chain and carabiner system lets you adjust the swing up and down easily.
• Has nothing below the swing - safe from obstacles.
• The ropes keep the 3 legs securely in position. The ropes and stand can then be pegged down (3x standard pegs included. XL spiral pegs are optional.).
• Can be used for spinning. Though you might want to install a swivel if spinning excessively.

Stand Disadvantages:

• The stand has no feet on the poles, so if you were planning to use it inside, you might need to put something under the legs to protect your floor.
• Only for gentle-moderate strength swinging. If swinging too strongly, you'd bump into the poles.

Weather Resistance: The stand is powder coated and the swing is made from textilene mesh, which are both weather resistant. That means it can be used outdoors, though we'd still suggest not leaving the swing in the sun & rain permanently, to avoid fading.

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. That is in addition to the chain on the stand, which can also be used for adjusting.

Accessories: The optional accessories (straps or anchor plates) 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.

Note:
Please follow the manual when setting it up. There is a trick that you should follow to get the swing together easier.
