We've got it screwed into some reenforced jousts in our ceiling, and with the screws used it would probably take about 200 pounds, though Jer and I aren't going to try it out!<br /><br />We also have a platform swing and plan to get several more swings that we can switch out depending on what play or therapy we're doing. Fun!<br /><br />~JessJesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306757421878995110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2406669952841224025.post-41221079674063295512010-03-23T23:34:20.285-07:002010-03-23T23:34:20.285-07:00very cool swing and one that I've never seen a...very cool swing and one that I've never seen after parenting a child with special needs for over fifteen years!

Just some place to hide from the rest of the family with a good book. <br /><br />Who doesn't like a swing?<br /><br />One of the home renovation shows put a swing in a child's room. They located the rafter boards in the ceiling and put a couple of lag bolts with eyes through them. Then they tied off the rope through the eyes that were on the ceiling side. I think you would have to have access to the attic above the room though.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11801767533658151987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2406669952841224025.post-24605768492210029342010-03-23T09:09:02.757-07:002010-03-23T09:09:02.757-07:00I love the swing!

What a great place to relax, have fun and get vestibular stimulation all at once!<br /><br />Was wondering if you could post how you have it mounted in the ceiling. We have a Wingbo for Emma and I have it mounted in the doorway but we are looking to move and I want to mount a swing in her future bedroom....if it all comes together. Would love to see how you have this mounted in the ceiling.Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13259709507156454270noreply@blogger.com
