Advantages and disadvantages. the best play and swing sets

Now I have assembled two of these swing sets: one at home, 12ft wide, with 3 swings and one at my 87 year old grandmother's house, 16ft wide, with center support Holder, a swing bench for her and 2 children's swings. I will first address some of the complaints in other reviews that the mounts are too small for a 4x6 PT bar. Yes, the bar sits exactly as it should. Because of the process, and it's all about pressure treatment, they inject chemicals into the pressure wood to preserve it. Over time, if you buy lumber and expect to assemble it same day, you'll find that even boards tightly joined together on a deck will shrink as they dry, leaving β…›-Β³/¹⁢ inch gaps. You. However, there are a few tricks you can try. Light coat of vegetable oil or, while the wood is dry enough, try cornstarch. Then use a block of wood and a strong hammer. It's best to buy wood and let it sit in a sunny spot for a few weeks. You want a tight fit, it will be stronger and movement will affect hardware and mounts much less over time. It's a lot easier to tip it over when you're done. Buy sturdy swing hangers or have them made at your local metal shop. No need to cut the legs at an angle to the ground, they sink into the grass a bit leaving a solid trail. Also due to Covid delivery issues you may want to get some wood before ordering mounts. It was time to build grandma's swing, treated wood was almost impossible to find. Had to drive 50 miles to find a 4x4x8 for the legs.

Pros
