Garden swing is an indispensable attribute of a summer house or a private country house. They can be made for children or adults. Swing weight should withstand at least 300 kg. In the winter months they are not dismantled, so the material should be saturated with special antiseptics.
Installation instructions
Get the bars and boards for the construction of supporting racks with a shirt. Brus thickness 10-15 cm. Remove all sizes thoroughly, cut the boards according to the marks.
Choose wood from conifers, for example, larch.
The rectangular frame is connected by metal corners and self -tapping screws. The main rule of the installation, this design is made longer than the seat of the swing twice. In this case, stability and safety will be ensured by skiing children or adults.
The next step after the base is made, it should be processed with bitumen. Such a step will protect the tree from corruption and damage from insects. On both sides of the swing, fasten with two bars, the highest points of which must be connected.
The design consists of a lower frame, on the sides – two triangles. At the top, connect them with another timber. Thus, 9 bars took to make a swing.
The basis of the seat can be represented by two rectangular frames of any size you wish. The seat can cover plywood or board. It remains to attach the back and sitting with metal corners.
To hang a swing, you need to walk in the holes of the cables or chains, tightly fix it with special metal brackets. Hang hooks on the upper cross member, resolve the length of the suspended cables or ropes and strengthen the swing. It is recommended to cover all wooden parts in two layers with a water -repellent primer, then paint in two layers for external work.
Now you need to make a comfortable seat. Given that the swing is not under a canopy, it is better to wrap the seat with a thick layer of foam rubber, and dermantine, leather -saving or waterproof fabric on top. An old imported car chair is perfect for sitting. It will be very convenient if there are armrests in the seat.
