Introducing our 8 1/2 ft coated chain, with 4 ft coated in bright polymer colors, a perfect addition to any swingset that is sure to add a pop of color. This 3/16” chain is made with 4/O Aught and Grade 30 material, and features links that are 1” long with an opening of ½” wide. For use with this chain, we recommend the A6500 – A6550 5/16″ S-hook or the A5700 – A5705 – A5725 – A5730 shackles, although it is important to note that you may need to apply some force to get the shackles through the coated part of the chain. It is important to purchase chain from a playground manufacturer, as chain that is not quality controlled may contain weak links or air bubbles. With optimal conditions, this chain should last up to 5 years, however, harsher conditions may require replacement sooner. Each chain is sold individually.
