2 gobaplay Swings for Swing Sets
Before getting into the gobaplay Swings, note that these Swings can be purchased individually if you already have a swing set or as a part of your gobaplay Single Swing Set purchase.
A positive about the gobaplay Swings is they are compatible with most outdoor swing sets , so even if you have an existing swing set, you can add one of these swings to your arsenal without purchasing a frame. You can also hang the swing from a tree with sturdy branches!
You just need to make sure there are either one or two hooks on your swing set if choosing to attach the swing to a swing set. Each gobaplay Swing comes with 2 carabiner clips which helps with switching accessories on a swing set.
