The trapeze bar truly added to any gymnasts’ dreams. It is extremely strong and easy to install for any swing set. The children were truly excited to see this piece installed. It was 100 times better than the original rings that came with the set. The change is thicker and coated with a blue safety plastic, the crossbar is thick and smooth (no sharp edges), and the rings are of high quality steel like the bat and vet smooth. Extremely pleased with this purchase.
