Trapeze Bars and Gym Rings
Swing, flip, hang and spin: bars and rings that turn a swing beam into a tiny gym.
- Add-Ons
- Design to install
- Free estimate
Trapeze bars and gymnastic rings are small additions that add a lot of play. They invite kids to hang, swing, flip and practice tricks, building shoulder and core strength along the way.
We install them on swing beams and tower frames with strong hardware, set the height for the age of your kids and plan the surface below.
Bars and rings
A trapeze bar hangs from two ropes or chains and swings like a seat for hanging. Rings hang from straps and allow more movement. Together they make a beam a place for all kinds of play.
Heights can be adjusted as kids grow.
Safety considerations
Kids hang upside down and let go at different moments, so a deep surface and a clear zone are important. Spacing from other swings and from the frame also matters.
We choose hardware rated for the loads and plan the beam to take dynamic forces.
From first call to first swing.

Good questions about trapeze bars and rings.

Often yes, if the beam is sturdy enough. We check.
