eswingEnjoy some club advice on how to get your son and daughter swinging. Good for them anf great for you.

We all love to chill out in our backyard and a swing is a great place to keep the kids  entertained  while you do just that.

Click on here swing_set to get  straight shooting tips on how to build that swing for the kids, you’ll get reputable advice  on:

  1. Choosing the measurements
  2. Where to begin
  3. Concreting the poles (if you’re luck you’ll have a tree)
  4. Swing measurements
  5. Attaching the swing

MORE TIPS:

  • If you’re child is a toddler or younger, you may elect to buy a plastic moulded  seat and rope set from a toy store: you’ll still need a tree or poles
  • Consider using a  rubber belt for the seat
  • Car tyres  attached to  rope also work a treat – go to your local garage/tyre outlet to save cash
  • If you’re near water,   go tarzan rope – add knots for added grip
  • Check knots and branch strength, do the right thing and try it out out with you in it first!
  • Once the kids have had a laugh, make sure you and your partner get a go
