          Answer This Question

          A:  As an engineer I would not recommend attaching the monkey bars on bottom side of the wood. This would put all the load through only the bolt head which could over time cause the head to pop off or the Monkey bar hole to expand /bend. The bolt and bar are not intended to be loaded that way! Placing bars on top allows the metal bar rather than the bolt head to carry the load.

          by|Mar 10, 2021

            A:  Yes, I have them attached on the bottom and have been solid for 3 years.

            by|Mar 12, 2021

              A:  I am not an engineer, but based on experience, I think these bars will structurally be able to support plenty of weight if mounted on the bottom of a piece of wood. However, you are relying entirely on the connection made by the screw into the wood. You might want to consider upgrading to a bigger lag type bolt to ensure that they don’t eventually back out.

              Great monkey bar set!
              I purchased these to create indoor monkey bars, attached to a basement ceiling. The picture showed them to be a bit gold, but they were actually a nice yellow color. The kit is just the bars and screws, so you'll need to provide the framework for them. They've been used for about 3 weeks, but seem Overall, I have 3 very happy little boys! That makes me happy, too.

              A good component to a full assembly
              This is not a full assembly. You need to provide the frame and much of the hardware. That said, it's a great bargain. The monkey bars appear to have a very good powder coating on them which should last many years outside in the weather. They look similar to the bars used on structures on school playgrounds etc. The mounting holes are slotted so there's some forgiveness on the 23-1/4" dimension on the instructions. You will need a post hole digger to dig the (2) 18" deep holes to set the 4x4's. The wood-loc washers are included with the kit. They're very useful and something that HD or Lowe's doesn't carry (at least in my town). Be aware they're NOT 3/8 which is probably the most common carriage bolt size. Instead, they're 5/16 which is a little smaller than I'd like. I ended up using 3/8 hardware because my structure will see some hard use. Because of this I had to source my own 3/8 wood-loc washers which wasn't easy. The instructions specify 12" bar spacing but I found this to be a little too tight. I instead went with 13" but you could probably even go a little more if you wanted to. Spacing them out a little more like this really covers the length of an 8' long 2x6 very well. The top ladder rung was too low for my 6yr old to be able to reach the bars. I had to change the spacing of the rungs slightly but I was still able to cover the elevation with two rungs. Other than the above, I pretty much followed the instructions to a tee. You really can't go wrong if you're willing to break out some tools and make a project out of this. If you're not a DIY'er you will probably need someone to help you. Then again, I mounted mine to a custom structure so it was probably a little more involved than mounting it to a Timber-Bilt play set.

              This product was simple to install with great instructions
              Ordered monkey bars on line and picked up at my local store which was quite convenient. They came with instructions on how to install and build full monkey bar to attach to swing set. Bought lumber and hardware when I picked them up and had my Granddaughter swinging in two days.

              Damaged
              Product came in damaged, I contacted customer care and they wanted the product # on the exact piece. I sent them images of the pieces in the box and out of the box but still wasn't enough. Poor service, poor quality, not what I expected.
