To install a glider for a swing set, you’ll need a bracket system and a swing beam. You can either install a one or two-seat glider to an already existing swing set or purchase a frame and glider packaged together.
Place the bracket on a wooden swing beam at the location you want the glider to be. Use washers and locknuts to secure the bracket to the beam. Put the beam in place at the top of your swing set and use a four-point hook-up to attach the glider.
While most hook-ups come with small openings to slip onto chain links, you may also use spring clip attachments. Swing set gliders also come with durable polyester rope or plastic-coated chains for suspension and usually include specific mechanisms for attaching your glider.
