Finding the perfect tree to put this in was a little difficult for me at first, due to the way the Swurfer swings and the trees in our yard. Once I found a good spot for it, it was a breeze to install. I also purchase the tree hanging straps made by the same company, not required, but does make it easier to take down if needed. It is very sturdy and I'm not worried one bit about it breaking. It's built tough. My 2 girls, aged 6 and 8, absolutely love this thing. So much so that I'm thinking of ordering another one. They are on it for hours every day. Not only is it fun, but also is great exercise and gets them out of the house and outdoors playing. I wish I had heard of this earlier, it's so much fun and isn't expensive at all, especially after seeing the quality of the swing itself.
