Double Rope Swing
Double Seated Oak Rope Swing
Some things are made for sharing.
Crafted out of splendid Kiln Dried Oak with added support battens to the underside, our Double Seated Oak Rope Swing is a statement piece made for friends and family. You can add your own bespoke inscription if you like to make it even more personal!
Our Hempex ropes are professionally spliced and prepared, and come complete with our simple to use no knots fixing kit to make hanging the swing as easy as possible. No complex knots or fixings to worry about.
The swing measures 110cm wide by 25cm deep, and 5cm thick (that's 94cm between the ropes), so it's ideal for trees, beams or any suitable structure - or one of our Sitting Spiritually frames.
Remember, you'll need add enough drop length to the rope to be able wrap around the bough twice.
Our hempex ropes are 16mm thick and measure 5m in drop each side. They're also available in 8m and 10m lengths if you need it. It all comes with our unique no knot easy to hang kit and full instructions.
The breaking strain of the ropes is 1951kgs each side

Finding Your Perfect Rope Swing
Watch as Sitting Spiritually founder Martin Young guides you through the key things to consider when choosing a rope swing. The type of wood, rope length, how they're assembled and the different ways of personalising your rope swing all inform the decision making process.
What makes our swings the best
Our rope swings have the credibility of our established brand, so much so that we are the only swing makers Licensed by The RHS. The National Trust have also bought our products for their gardens, and believe us, their testing & safety procedures are extremely vigorous, so what greater endorsement could you ask for?
Where others have the ropes spliced around the rope swing, meaning the wood may be prone to split over time, our ropes, which are made by a long established marine rope maker, are threaded through the rope swing. Our rope swings have strengthening oak battens underneath them adding to their stability and each rope swing comes with our unique, simple, no knots hanging system as standard.
The corners and edges of our rope swings are gently rounded, meaning a little one (or adult) will never get a painfully sharp knock.
I want to hang from a frame/ceiling/porch ?
If you would like us to build a rope swing to your own measurements? No problem, just give us a call.
Do you need a frame for your swing?
If you do not have a suitable tree or support in your garden we also offer oak frames to match your rope swings.
You could take a look at the Trilogy Frame which can hold two seats with three configuration options or the High Oak Frame which holds one swing.
"Since we hung our Wedding Swing in our oak tree, it has become a focal point for every photographer and newly married couple once the formal photographs are over. It never fails to capture the fun and joy of the occasion!"

How To Hang a Swing on a Sloping Bough
By changing the fulcrum point from the bough to the pole, you will improve it by approximately 60%. It involves two simple knots and any suitable pole. Note: click on the image to enlarge.
Step 1: You will need to climb up to the bough, and using these two simple knots insert the pole in each end.
Step 2: Move the pole up as close as you can to the bough making sure it’s horizontal.
Step 3: Here's how to tie the knot.
