Here is a Close-Up, here you can also see the Bronze Bushing. The 5/8" forged steel bolt will hold 25,000 lbs. The rope is protected by a galvanized steel thimble. The horse shoe shaped 'Shackle' will hold 17,000 lbs. This Rope is 1" and is about a year old when I took this picture that is why it is turning color, exposure to the weather. The swing pivots on the Bronze bushing so there is no wear and tear on the rope or the bold eye or shackle.
Built to last and I won't hurt the vascular system of the tree, like tying a rope around a limb does.
