Good heavy swing will become an excellent decor element on the country site. They will probably come to taste and children, and adults. Moreover, the process of their manufacture is quite simple.
Step number 1: Start
The main criterion for the construction of the swing was their "carrying capacity": they should freely feel three adults, not very small, people.
The angle under which the back of the seat is attached, was determined by experimentally, after a long study of ready-made swings and benches in parks and squares. Width and height depends on the length of the legs, these parameters are individual.
Step # 2: Back
Initially, the framework frame is made, in which the bars are connected under the selected angle (this will be the back of the back). Elements are fastened with glue and screws for a particularly durable connection.
Step number 3: "Skeleton"
To give additional stiffness of the design, we attach additional edges along the back and seats. Thus, the form of future swings is formed.
Step No. 4: Seat
Before you start attaching the planks, check the length and order of their location again. This stage is simple, but the work will have a monotonous and scrupulous. On both sides, holes are drilled on both sides, with which bars are fixed on the frame.
Step No. 5: Armrests
After the seat bars and backs are fixed (in the same way), it's time to attach armrests. Their design is quite simple, but they are fixed with bolts, therefore, with a great desire, in the future they can be easily replaced.
Step No. 6: Staining
Cove the swing is necessary composition designed to protect wood. It may be impregnated, olifa, lacquer is fundamentally, the main thing at this stage is the quality of work. And the work will have to be painstaking: the bars need to be scratched from all sides, very carefully, because from how qualitatively they will be covered with lacins, their service life depends. The swing, installed on the street, will be exposed to adverse factors (precipitation, wind, pests), so the defense should be high-level.
It can be used in the form of sprays, they are applied faster and easier, but also the consumption of such funds is much higher.
Step number 7: installation subtleties
Additionally, the bottom is strengthened with a metal profile. Perhaps this step is optional, but the safety margin does not prevent.
The finished design is fixed on circuits from two sides below the desired angle. Naturally, beams or rafters, on which chains are attached, should be ready to withstand such a load.
