Do you want to give your child a treehouse without having to build a structure? What about a Hanging Tree Tent? It arrives fully assembled and even includes lights!
Why Get a Tree Tent VS a Swing or a Treehouse?
First of all, multiple kids can play in these house-like tree swings at one time. Alternatively, the enclosed design helps soothe individual children if they become over-stimulated.
Not to mention, these cool swinging tree forts make a great spot to read a book, do homework or simply take a nap.
Also, many kids like building forts where they can play games with their friends. Hanging tents provide a fun alternative they they can use anytime.
Much like a tree fort, these tent swings have windows, a doorway and a roof. Plus, they offer more than just your standard swingset. These little hanging houses offer a fun and/or relaxing place for kids to hang out.
Futhermore, if you have a large tree in your backyard, you may want to hang multiple tree tents. Besides, they only cost about $90 (and that includes an inflatable cushion, air pump, string lights and rope).
You will need 2 more items, though.
1. Tree Swing Strap
First, you’ll need to hang the tree tent from a branch. I personally like tree swing hanging kits because they’re quick and easy to install. Plus, they support more than enough weight (1,000 lbs).
Alternatively, you can use a rope or strap and fasten the swing yourself.
Or, if you hang the swing indoors (many people do), you usually won’t need an additional strap. However, you might need a ceiling mount with swivel hook (supports up to 500 lbs).
2. Batteries for the Lights
Second, the string lights require 3 AA batteries, and these don’t come with the package. The good news is that the LED bulbs use very little energy and last a long time.
This Tent Swing is Like Having a Portable Tree House…
I also like these “miniature tree houses” because you can take them places. For instance, travel with them, bring them camping, to the beach or a park.
Plus, if you connect the swing to a low enough beam, branch or structure, you may not even need your tree strap. (The package includes a 3-foot long hanging rope with carabiner).
And whether you decide to travel with them or not, they easily move between indoors and out. Therefore, your kids can easily use them as a year-round swing, no matter what the climate is!
