When Dova first asked to get a platform swing for the yard, I immediately thought of this cartoon that always floated around the office. From Know Your Meme As a mechanical engineer with no marketing input but a tough customer, I was up to the challenge. Here were the requirements: Big enough to hold at least two people Can swing and spin Mounted between two trees in the yard Does not damage the trees (no drilled holes) Has to be fun fun fun!! Here's the swing that we ordered with the hardware (actual or similar) that we used (affiliate links - thank you!): Web Riderz Children's Web Swing, Black Ratchet Tie Down Straps, 1.5 in x 15 ft Straps, 5000lbs Break Strength, Moving and Securing Cargo, Yellow(2 Pack) The distance between our trees was 10 feet, and the circumference of each tree was approximate 5 feet each, so we choose a set of two 12 feet tie-down straps, which covers the 20-foot total length (distance between trees plus the two tree circumferences). Each tie-down strap will wrap around a tree and connect to the other tie-down strap in the center, so select a total tie-down length according to your tree distance and circumferences. Make sure the working load limit of the straps is over 2000 lbs. Marine Mooring 1/4" Eye to Eye Swivel 304 Stainless Steel Silver Tone This swivel is relatively inexpensive compared to a ball bearing swivel. With a little Teflon lubrication, it worked plenty well for this swing. Just omit this if you don't want to swing. Tri Surge Solutions, LLC. DBA Tri Surge Solutions 2 Pieces Stainless Steel 316 Marine Grade Quick Link Carabiner 5/16" (8mm) for Chain, Rope, Swing Cable Connector and Other Uses Use one pack of these 5/16" or comparable M8 quick links (2 links total). The hardest part is to figure out how high to install the tie-downs on the trees. As with most engineering projects, it's an iterative process. We must have tried at least 3 or 4 different heights! The bottom of the swing ended up just shy of 3 feet from the ground, fine for our kids to hop on by themselves. The tie down straps were mounted approximately 8.5 to 9 feet off the ground. First, wrap the long strap of the tie-down around the tree. Install one of the quick links in the webbing loop used for the hook and then pull the long free end through the link. Edited 07/11/19: Pull the free end through the sewn loop at the other end of the webbing. Just let the hook dangle there. This change was made to prevent chafing from the quick link (see comments), as webbing is designed to loop with itself. Install the ratchet part of the tie-down to the end of the long strap so that it ends approximately halfway between the trees. Do the same with the other tree and then attach the two ends using one of the quick links through the sewn loops. From the quick link in the center, attach the eye swivel and then the other quick link below it. Finally, attach the rings of the swing to the lower quick link. From the customer reviews of the swing, I made a few safety changes to the swing. The slip knots attaching the hanging ropes to the swing frame were changed to figure eight knots. At the top, tie-wraps were added beneath the rings to prevent the swing from tilting side to side. Here's the finished product: Let's see if it meets specifications: Big enough to hold at least two people - check! Can swing and spin - check! Mounted between two trees in the yard - check! Does not damage the trees (no drilled holes) - check! Has to be fun fun fun!! Oh yeah, we rocked it!

Starting a new project can be really exciting, especially when it’s something for your own backyard like making a swing out of pallets. I remember when I first decided to try my hand at it. It was a bit challenging at first since I had never worked with pallets before, but I learned a lot along the way. The whole process was a mix of creativity and problem-solving, which made it all the more rewarding when I finished. The best part about making your own pallet swing is that you can customize it any way you want. I went through
