Question 1

What is the angle of the wood in the brackets? I'm trying to figure out how tall a structure will be given a specific width limitation.

OOH!  Math is a painful subject but really simple if you have a calyoomalator and revisit Mr. Pythagoras' theorem and you will get the guestimate down right.  Roughly the slant(s) = 14 feet and the height will be = 12 feet (that is from the ground to the top of the horizontal beam.  Using the equilateral triangle for the example which all 3 sides are equal and proposed one side is = 2a, where it would be roughly about 14 feet then the height will perpendicular to the ground intersect the bottom side which divide two segments of a and a.  So if 2a squared = x + a squared, then 4 a squared = 3 a squared + a squared; one side of the equilateral triangle = 2a = 14 feet and therefore a = 7 feet and resulted of squared root of 3(7x7) = is roughly about 12 feet.  IF YOUR HEAD IS HURTING AT THIS POINT...JOIN THE CLUB!  So with the 12 feet as the height now you can figure out its radius for clearance of either side of the swing.  Try to lay all the cut pieces on a flat surface or just draw on paper and scale your model proportionally and I hope your headache is throbbing right now...because mine is thanks alot LT.

Question 2

Where can I find instructions? My brackets were delivered with no information.

Accepted Answer

Home depot has a entire 60 page pdf file you can download for free(google it)page 33 and 34 shows how to install. Just use deck screws 4 on each side 2 in the top. Drill hole throught top beam, put carriage bolt all the way through top and tighten down with lock washerand nut.

Question 3

if I wanted to make a 5 foot tall a-frame, how far apart would the legs be?

Accepted Answer

EZ frame brackets used on 8' long post will make the bottom of the swing beam at 7.5' high.

Question 4

Why is this sold as a single bracket when 2 are required  for each A-frame? That makes the seller limit of 5 really ridiculous.

Accepted Answer

EZ Frame Brackets are sold as 1. The way they are packaged.
