Depending on what angle they are mounted, if they are mounted where they hang almost straight down, you should get 6 to 10 inches of swing.

I am replacing worn-out hardware on a 30-year-old bench with the Rockler brackets here. Since these are different than my original hardware, I had to modify the bench to accomodate the longer brackets. My question - Should both brackets hang perfectly vertical to the points where they attach to the bench? The old hardware was connected so than the front bracket connected at about 7 o'clock and the rear bracket was at 6. This caused the bench to tip forward slightly when it swung forward. On the other hand, the 6/7 method provided a finite stopping point to the glider's swing. Since I don't have the original plans, I don't know the logic for connecting these brackets - 6/6 o'clock or some other...?

Can these glider brackets be used to convert a porch swing to a glider?
Scott

BEST ANSWER: I used them on a glider I built from scratch but the set was basically a porch swing attached to a stand. If you can make a stand it would be possible. As I recall, the instructions were pretty specific about dimensions and clearances so it shouldn't be to hard to figure out. Hope this helps.

What is the weight limit?
A shopper
on Jul 2, 2015
BEST ANSWER: Don't know what the actual wt limit is. These do appear to be very stury and shold easily support 300 - 350 lbs. however no one has the ability to tell how they should be configured as far as spacinf between the front and back gliders. If you put them in the position as directed in the instructions the glider will only have a short choppy swing. Not the comfortable "glide" you would expect. And no one at rockler can give you an answer or seem to be willing to find an answer to this. Just like selling an item but not being able to give specs such as weight support.

I used the gliders on a love seat. The two people that use it are just over 500 lbs. I believe the gliders are ok, it would be the wood and placement of holes that would be in question. So far there is no problem for that amount of weight.

I am not completely sure of what you are asking. The package is just exactly as the page pictures, four length of steel with a bearing on each end.
BTW If you off set the bottom back from center line you will get a bit of a rocking motion in the swing.

I am not exactly sure how much weight it will hold but I built a bench out of oak 4 1/2 feet long I’ve had four people sitting on it and it glides beautifully Enter an answer to this question.

I need these gliders with the hole 10.5" on center any suggestions?

BEST ANSWER: specific If you need these brackets, then you have only one choice, buy them,have a welding shop cut them and weld in a piece to get your needed length. As it is, the distance between centers is advertised as 7.5"
You can make a set out of wood, using something like the ones on Ebay (I would have given the link but Rockler blocked it ) and making the arms the length you need.

Jerry,
I'm not sure why you need a certain spacing on these if you are using them for a glider i just mount them where they fit, On the side of my gliders they install like this \ / not totally vertical. hope this helps.

Really like the glider hardware - glider was designed to use pivot hinges. I retrofitted the glider with the bracket hardware after the pivot hinges did not work. I highly recommend these brackets.

I used these glide bars on...
I used these glide bars on my first glider and they worked great. They were easy to adept to my plan which was based upon my comfortable proch swing hung by chains.The only problem was that the instruction said to hang them vertically. This made the glide back-and-forth motion to be too short only about 2 inches. I saw some other factory made gliders and home made ones and each one had the lower bolt pattern set in from the uppers by 2-3 inches. After I moved my bolts in by 2 inches then the glide motion was greatly improved and smooth like a swing.I will order again for the next project.

The glider brackets work well, were easy to install, and appear to be very sturdy for the long haul. This is one of my biggest misunderstandings to date. When our youngest son (18) said he wanted an oak glider swing, this was what I envisioned. As I was finsihing it he asked, "isn't it going to sink into the ground?". What he actually wanted was a throw-together for next to the fire pit. What he got should provide him a lifetime of enjoyment. I also threw together a jumbo rocker from 2X4s for the fire pit.

Modified some plans I found for an outside chair by reducing stock sizes, creating a fanback back rest, and sunray burst side panels to allow more air to flow through. The last modification was a platform and glider hardware to convert the chair to glider. Used a coat of Cetol 1 Cedar and (2) coats of Cetol Dek Finish Cedar in hopes of less strenous maintenance in the future. Dad got his chair early and it looks like I'll be making more of them!

Old style to new.
Not hard to install. I read a couple tips from other people on this site Put the top 5 inch's wider over all than the bottom . Example, 18 top, 13 bottom . this top and bottom is in the upright position. I actually went 16 and 11 because I coverted an old chair that had the old style you can't find any more and there was clearance issues. It actually rocks like a rocking chair, but real smooth.

Great product but it needs alternate sizes
Smooth quiet gliding however two things would help sell the product.
1. It seems to be flexible when bolted into place. The seat of the glider flexes side to side. With the dimension between the seat and the stand is so close, they can rub with extreme movement in the seat. Possibly expanding the dimension from bearing surfaces would improve this opportunity.
2, It would be desirable to have alternate sizes of length.

Brackets are fine; glider design lacking
The brackets do what they are designed to do, but they are too short to provide a good glide. Range of motion of the glider is only 2-3 inches. This is due mostly to the design of the glider. Would like to have seen a design which allowed more pendulum action with longer brackets

I had one problem with these brakets, one of the bearings was slightly loose inside of its race, which caused a little thump when rocked hard. It took some time to figure out where this thump was come from. But will buy more, hoping it was just a isolated manufacturing error. Other than that the brackets worked very well.
