Description
Our 3/16″ Galvanized chain is specially designed to resist corrosion, making it an excellent choice for coastal areas. This chain meets all ASTM requirements and has a consistent bright finish. The chain is 4/0 Aught and Grade 30, with links that are 1 inch long and an opening that is ½ inch wide. You can use any of our S-hooks or Shackles with this chain. It’s important to note that chain purchased from non-playground manufacturers may lack quality control, and weak links and air bubbles have been reported. This product has an estimated lifespan of up to 5 years in optimal conditions and 2 years in harsh conditions, though certain factors may necessitate replacement sooner. With a tensile strength of 3200 lbs, it can be purchased per foot or in a pail of 250’.
This is for children 0 – 12 years old only. Adults should supervise children at all times. Do not allow children to use unsafely. Do not allow it to be used if damaged.
