Hello dear readers and the inhabitants of our site!
This simple idea will show you how to make a swing with an antique design that can be hung on the ceiling, or to build a regular stand for them with the letter - P or if your site has a large tree suitable for this structure. In any case, these swings will please both children and adults. For their manufacture does not need a lot of effort, and special tools. And the materials for which you can build them you can find for free in a suitable store (household, construction, etc.) Put a few pillows or make a soft seat to highlight your design, as well as sitting softly and comfortably on a swing.
- half of the pallet
- paint or impregnation
- hacksaw
- strong rope (rope)
- metal hooks for hanging
Step 1. Cut the wooden pallet in half so that it has both side planks. Remove the two extreme boards of the pallet at both ends of the structure.
Step 2 You can arrange the side parts of the structure with the boards removed so that you get pockets where you can put any things.
Step 3 Sand all surfaces of the swing to remove the top layer and the natural pattern of the tree was clearly visible. If you want, you can apply paint or impregnation (than emphasize the whole beauty of the structure of the tree picture) on the entire structure or only on its part.
Step 4 You need two strong ropes (rope) and their length depends on the desired height of the suspension. Attach the swing to the ceiling, holding it at both ends with a rope so that the rope completely covers the planks. Grasp one end of the rope, slide it under the bar and wrap it several times, take the other end in the same way several times wrap the opposite bar and tie a knot over them. Check the quality of the nodes again and tighten them. Now you can begin to install the swing already at the place where it will be located constantly. By changing the length of the ropes we align the swing horizontally.
- To make the swing more stable, grab the two ends of the rope and tie them to the bottom of the structure.
- Attach the long metal plates to the bottom with screws so as not to break the swing if several people are sitting.
- Use a rope of sufficient length, at least 5-6 meters, so that you can twist the suspension system well and secure it in a knot.
