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.

Unusual swing for two

 

If you are drawn to something creative, there are such original swings for two. The design, of course, is complicated, but, as they say, there would be a desire. But, like a small gazebo, it’s very convenient to talk face to face, swaying slightly.

 

 

 

 

Swing sofa on the veranda

 

However, why deprive yourself of pleasure at home. If you have a large porch with a strong ceiling, you can make a swing there, for example, in the form of a suspended sofa. Probably nice to take a nap in the fresh air on soft pillows
