A:  It says 300 pounds

A:  310 lbs

A:  310lbs, but I've used it for tree trimming and I've definitely gone over the limit and it survived. It's not the most professional rope, but it's good for the price, and worth a try.

A:  300lbs

A:  Howdy dcwriter, A good idea would be to tightly braid natural cotton rope. This would keep the rope strong and not be bad for the dog. happy chewing, Coach Dave

A:  Howdy dcwriter, As you may have heard, using plastic or any other kind of man-made material could be bad for the dog if it ingests it. Most people I know buy 100% cotton rope and braid it. Happy chewing, Coach Dave

A:  No

A:  Thanks for the tip Coach Dave. Will try the cotton rope. Thankfully she doesn't eat the hose pieces. Still, the rope will be safer for her. I always worried that the rope would cut her gums so hadn't gone that route. I will now!

A:  Nope

A:  This rope should float.

A:  Yes, it does

A:  It does.

A:  This is a general purpose rope and should not be used for a swing, as it should not be used to support human weight or athletic equipment.

A:  I have used this for a backyard hammock and it has lasted 3 years with weather and basic wear and tear. There was a rip at one point and I managed to catch it before someone fell off of the hammock. I would chose a heavier traditional rope for a swing because it looks nicer and it's safer in your case.

A:  I would not recommend it, it won't hold up and someone will probably end up getting hurt honestly.

A:  Not for adults. I use this for a kid swing but do not trust it for adults

A:  The fact is that these ropes are not considered to be "life lines" for various reasons probably having to do with liability. The fact is also that i myself have used this exact rope on 2 different trees with myself, a 200 pound male, descending from 30 feet in a near vertical drop and never have i had any problems. The rope has a nice dynamic (stretching) quality which makes for a smooth ride so you don't take a hard hit off a steep drop. No one will guarantee that the rope will work for you on a swing, but what i'm referring to is my own personal experience.

A:  In my experience, no. It stretches significantly, even under the weight of my 4 year old. You'll see 2 phases of stretch - 1) initial stretch as you apply load (i.e. - sit on the swing) and then a 2nd phase where it will gradually elongate as you swing (known as creep). You'll start out ok but will be dragging on the ground in 10 minutes. I recommend Polyester Rope. It has less stretch and will resist UV and water rot better
