Indoor swing installation

18th Jan 2026

Looking for Trades to Partner on Indoor Swing Installations Hi all, I run a swing business and I’m looking to partner with reliable tradespeople (carpenters, builders, or experienced handymen) to install swings in residential homes. How it works: • Customer purchases the swing from us • We offer an optional installation package • If selected, we refer the customer directly to you • You assess the site, provide a quote if required, and complete the installation Most installs involve ceiling mounting into joists or beams, or advising on suitable alternatives where needed. This is ideal for someone who: • Has experience working in residential homes • Understands load-bearing structures and fixings • Is insured and reliable We’re looking to build ongoing partnerships rather than one-off jobs. If interested, please message with: • Your trade and location • Relevant experience • Your contact email or phone number • Indicative pricing or typical install quotes (if available) Thanks — looking forward to connecting.
