Make your own swing & stand

The cheapest and easiest way of making a swing is to have one thick rope with a big knot, or tie a short piece of a branch or doweling, or an old tire at the end.

A stand can be made with 2 round poles, a cross bar, 2 ready mix concrete bags, 2 coach bolts and 2 eye bolts, all of which are available in most building material stores.
Dig two holes approximately 1,2m apart, from center to center (for one swing).
Check out the top of the poles, drill holes and bolt on the cross bar.
Drill holes for the eye bolts 500mm apart and fix them on with the eye facing forward so the clip will roll and not grind in the eye.
Nail two diagonal temporary supports on to the poles to keep them parallel while fixing them into the holes.
Nail a board (which is longer than the hole is wide) at a distance 100mm shorter than the hole is deep from the bottom of each pole.
Raise the stand up into the holes. The stand will now rest on those temporary boards you nailed on and leave a gap under the poles so there is room for concrete underneath.
Brace the stand.
Mix and pore in the concrete.

Check with your local council for regulations (depth and size of the holes and timber dimensions, height restrictions and so on) and permits. If there is no rules ask your local building material merchant for advice.

The baby-toddler swing can be hung, with the rope provided, (with the swing down at the lowest for a toddler) at a height of up to 2.3 meters. For any higher extension ropes will be needed. The child swing with and without trapeze bar can be hung from a height of 3 meters without extension ropes.
