To prevent an indoor swing from spinning while allowing it to swing back and forth, the use of a single contact point is insufficient. The discussion suggests considering the installation of two hooks in the ceiling for stability. Alternatively, replacing the chain with a rigid rod or utilizing an anti-twist cable can effectively eliminate unwanted spinning. These solutions ensure that the swing remains oriented in one direction while still providing the desired swinging motion.

If you have only a single contact point and your connection is flexible (rope) then I don't see how that could be possible. Do you HAVE to have just a single contact point? If you can put one hook in the ceiling, why not two?aprilfresh31 said:I am hanging an indoor swing. The swing hangs from ropes and the ropes are attached to a single chain hooked into the ceiling. I want the swing to "swing back and forth" but I do not want the swing to "spin" around -- I want it to face in one direction. Is there something I can do to stop the spin if I only have one contact point in the ceiling? Something I can attach to the chain?
