Swing N Slide EZ Frame R/L Brace (pair)

Works great.

They are sturdy and made the project easier than trying to use bolts.

Used with the other angle brackets that they are designed to work with for the front and back support. If you look closely at the picture you can see that one in the shadows there. A little pricey but they help get everything tightened up and safely secured. We only have two swings on our swing bar and these are plenty sturdy and solid for the 4 x 6 to 4 X 4 joint. Like others have said, you will need your own hardware. For the angle bracket I used lag screws and decking screws for the small holes. For this we just went with lag screws. They have been in use for almost a full season of summer and winter and show no signs or rust or wear.

These braces are a little pricey. Sturdy, strong and easy to install. Sturdier than wooden cross braces and will last a lifetime.

We purchased these last year to go on a huge swingset that my husband designed and built himself. It holds 4 swings that are constantly being used at the same time so we needed a heavy duty brace to keep the whole thing from twisting and warping every time the kids use it. I'm incredibly happy to say that over a year later and they are still looking good and doing their job well! I would happily purchase these again. If we ever needed to build another swingset!

When we bought a swing set kit (hardware but no wood), we ordered the EZ frame braces also (two sets, one for each end). They were easy to use, and we think they made the swing set that much more sturdy. Worth the money.

I was worried about my home made swingset not holding up to my large frame, especially after a coworker told a story about his coming down on him and a trip to the hospital. I added these brackets as an extra precaution, and I am glad I did. The beam seems super solid now - I can hang on it and shake it every which way (I'm about 260#) and it feels solid as a rock. I can now feel confident about swinging on the set with my kids with no worries.

In the end, I built a very good swing set with this (and the EZ brackets, which are a separate item. I really think you need all four of these brackets, and four of the other EZ brackets as well.The directions advocate building the swing set on its side and then righting it. If, like me, you decided to make the swing set a bit taller than was recommended, this righting process probably won't work. I sank the legs in concrete, and the set is on a very slight incline. The first time I tried to assemble the product, the combination of a very tall structure (the legs were nine feet long to account for a foot and a half to be sunk in the concrete and a seven and a half tall set). This combined with the slight slope of the land resulted in a huge, heavy structure momentarily in freefall. When the thing landed, the stresses popped the heads off the screws and the entire thing went down as I ran for my life.So I bought everything again and started over. This time, I assembled the "A"s, then attached the cross beam to one, and then climbed a ladder and put the other "A" under it. The Assemble-and-then-Right method may work for a shorter swing set, but I recommend my technique for anything larger.
