Based FreeMan's answer, and the design of the swing, I think you could use some eye bolts through his "blocking" piece. Assuming you can find any that are long enough (and use large washers). | |

| Jun 19, 2023 at 19:09 | comment | added | FreeMan | @Erik changing the size of the hanger bolt could have other, undesired, consequences, like the bolt not being strong enough to support the swing. What is the minimum bolt size recommended by the manufacturer? I wouldn't go below that... | |
| Jun 19, 2023 at 17:22 | comment | added | FreeMan | It would be useful to all if the DV explained why. I don't give two hoots about the points, but knowing what's wrong with this suggestion would be good for me and the OP. | |
| Jun 19, 2023 at 5:34 | comment | added | KMJ | @Erik unlikely, because then the hardware is probably not going to be strong enough to hold up the swing. Attach two 4x4 or 4x6 boards to at least two or maybe even three joists at a 90 degree angle to the joists, then hang your swing from the pair of new boards. | |
