Tips:

• - Oak is the best option.
• - Inspect the branch on which you will hang the swing for cracks and signs of illness.
• - If you use chains, we recommend wrapping them in plastic pipes to prevent fingers from getting into them.
• - Check the reliability of the branch every week, as Using a swing can gradually destroy wood.
• - Before using the swing for children, try the swing on the largest member of the family.

Swing made of logs with double legs. Step by step photos

The author of the photo claims what did he make these fabulous swings for 3 days!!! Let's take a look at some photos.
1 photo: we have pine logs from 2-3 meters, with a diameter of 10-15 cm.
4 photos: mounting method shown. This is a threaded needle with a diameter of 10 mm. Having crossed the necessary logs in the right places, we drill a hole and, inserting a spoke there, cut it off with a grinder. We screw nuts with washers on both sides of the needle and tighten. Isn’t it simple.
6 photos: we see that the side posts should be symmetrical
7 photos: fasten the side racks. To do this, put the log on top and fasten it with knitting needles.
9 photos: to add strength to the structure, add two inclined stops.
11 photos: bench with dimensions. Frame: 5x7 timber, boards - magpie
The penultimate photo is the painted swing. In my opinion, a bad color. Do not forget to use special tools for processing when painting, so that the wood lasts longer.
Last photo: another bench for the child was attached to the swing. Why !!!
About the foundation. Then in the places of contact of the swing with the ground we pour cement into which at the same time we insert metal bases to which we can then attach our legs.
