If there are small children in the family, then the household plot without a playground is difficult to imagine. Sandbox, slides, and, of course, swing will make the stay of children in the fresh air more and more fun, and get rid of most troubles of their parents. If earlier it was to buy any object for the playground was an unresolved problem, then in our time there are a wide variety of models of various sizes and made from a large spectrum of materials. At the request of the customer, the manufacturer can mount the platform with an individual set of swing, slides and other children's "attractions".

However, it is worth noting that it is "pleasure" worth not a little money, so most parents prefer to make swing and slides alone. For this case, it is quite possible to use materials that are at hand without spending money to buy expensive parts. The process of making a swing does not take much time, especially since in now you can find a large number of drawings of various designs: from a simple suspended to a whole complex. How to make kindergarten swing do it yourself - hereinafter.

Children's swing suspended with their own hands

Such models do not differ in particular ease of use, but won in the speed of the construction and low cost of the materials used.

One of these models can be called "Tire on chains". For the manufacture of such swings, the old tire from the cargo car with a wheel of more than 19 "is suitable. It can be easily found on the nearest tire. For suspension, steel chains from stainless metal are used. Chains need to be taken with a safety margin of roughly twice. When splitting such a design on the chain links will be added additional load, which can lead to its rupture. And if an adult will ride on it, the likelihood of falling will be high.

Procedure for work:

1. For the mounting chains directly to the tires use ry-bolts. This is a special fastener that has on the ends of the eye. It is for them that the chain is cling.
2. Nut is screwed to the bolt, then the washer is put on and it is installed in the end-to-end hole of the tire. Then the washer is installed on the reverse side and the nut is screwed. Nuts on both sides are tightened firmly. Washers need to be used wide to reduce the pressure on rubber, which otherwise can break.
3. After installing the ry-bolts and fixes on them with the chains, the swing can be swallowed to the support. It can serve as a powerful branch of the tree, the pipe of the grape arch or the horizontal bar. Carabins are installed on the ends of the chains, and the swing to the support "for the removal" are suspended.

Another version of the suspended swing is also pretty long. It consists in hanging on a foam or polymer rope of the ordinary board.

To do this, it is necessary to take a conventional board with a length of 60 cm, a thickness of 30 mm and a width of 30-40 cm. In the corners of the board, 4 holes are drilled in which the rope is used. As a result, two pairs of the rope will be, for which the swings are suspended to the support.

Baby swing do it yourself from wood

If there is no natural support on the plot, it is necessary to mount it for setting the swings. Typically, the material for the manufacture of support serves a wooden bar. Its cross section should be at least 100x100 mm. In this case, the support will be able to withstand even the weight of an adult.

Support is collected from two racks and crossbars interconnected by "spike".

For better stability of the design to racks at an angle of 45 ° they attach kosinki made from the same bar.

When the design is ready, they dig three pits with each of the sides, let the racks and brazers in them and poured concrete. So that the tree is not rotten, before concreting, the underground part of the design is treated with mastic or bitumen.

Concrete is prepared from a cement mixture (1 part) and sand (3 parts). While concrete is not frozen, the design is aligned by level using wedges.

After installing the support, the tree is processed by an antiseptic and paint. Any type of swing can be switched to such a design.

Children's swing do it yourself from metal

Such a product has a more complex design and for its manufacture requires the skills of working with metal: cutting, welding, stripping. The advantage of the metal structure is its stability at relatively low weight, as well as durability - with proper maintenance of metal, it will last one generation.

If there is a special tool and materials available, you can try to make metal swings yourself.

For the manufacture of metal swing, you will need:

• Welding machine with a set of electrodes.
• Corner grinding with cutting and credit circles.
• Set of locksmith tools.
• Gas burner or pipe bending machine.
• Pipe Ø40 mm.
• A strip of a width of 25 mm.
• Two rolling bearing with an internal diameter of 40 mm.
• Armature or rolling Ø6 mm.
• Corner 25x25.

Procedure for work:

1. The first thing is made by the support of children's swings from the pipes with their own hands. For this pipe cut on the dimensional parts to cook the base from them. The latter will be a square, which makes the swing more stable and will allow it to be installed in various places, that is, to make more mobile.
2. For the manufacture of the base, the ends of the pipe segments are cut at an angle of 45 ° and welded.
3. When the base is ready, it is necessary to make racks. For such swing, the corner racks are best. They are made of bent at a certain corner of the pipe. The angle depends on the height of the swing and the distance between the end of the rack. The than the corner is more, the swing is more stable.
4. To flexing the pipe in the place of bend it must be heated. Do it with the help of a gas burner. The heated pipe bent is needed very carefully so that it does not cracked in the bend. The second support is made according to the template first. For greater strength of the design, the legs of each support are combined with a metal strip or a corner. With the help of the welding machine, the rack is welded to the base. It is necessary to do it carefully so that the racks stood strictly vertically.
5. Then we prepare the crossbar. Its length should be equal to the front base pipe. Cut the pipe along the length. Now the bearing must be installed on the crossbar. It is thanks to them that swing will move. Bearing must be chosen taking into account the diameter of the crossbar. So that the bearing sat onto the pipe, it must be slightly warm. It is necessary to do it in a container with boiling oil. In no case, the bearing can not be heated with a burner, it may cause the destruction of the closure.
6. When the crossbar is ready, it is welded to supports. Be sure to make sure that it is exhibited by level, otherwise the swing will be done. At the top of the design of the supports weld the corner or strip to stop the crossbar. The latter is entered into the landing socket and welded from several sides. This design will be guaranteed that the crossbar will not move anywhere.
7. Metal structures of swing is ready, you can start making seats. For this, the corner is taken from which the clip is digest. Inside the clip with the help of bolts, fastened with a thickness of 30 mm thick. The width of the seating should correspond to the distance between the bearings on the crossbar.
8. The seat is attached to the bearings with the help of a rod. It is welded to bearings and seat.
9. After the design of the swing is ready, you can begin to paint it. Metal is covered with one layer of primer and two layers of paint. Each subsequent layer is superimposed only after complete drying of the previous one. Wooden parts are necessarily covered with oil and open with varnish or paint.

Thanks to the stability of such swing, they can be stopped anywhere. For insurance, the base pipe is fashionable to attach to the surface with metal brackets or anchor bolts. For older children, so that they do not work on it "The Figures of the Higher Pilotage, it is worthwing in the limiter. Then, even with a special desire, the Sunshiko will not succeed. But, it is for the better.

Swing for rest

Such swings are perfectly suitable for resting the whole family. Unlike the above-described model, these swings have a big seat with a back, more resembling a sofa. The manufacture of the scene suspension itself, which is attached with the help of the reputant, is practically no different from what was mentioned above. The only difference is in the size of the support due to the large width of the shop. If a large load is assumed on the design of the support, the pipes need to take a larger diameter.

Procedure for work:

1. A bench for swing is welded from two metal rings, which are made from the corner. Two clips are welded at an angle of 100 °, which makes a shop more convenient for rest. After the frame of the seating is ready, wooden shields are screwed to it.
2. Before you hang it on the support, wooden seat, the back is sinking with foam rubber and leatherette.
3. So that on a hanging sofa can be resting in hot or rainy weather, you can build a canopy over it. For this, a frame of a profiled tube is made, which is welded to the drain designs of the support. Then the rubberized fabric or another polymer material, which does not let the water dresses the frame. Now the swing will be pretty comfortable even under the scorching sun or heavy rain.
4. After completing the work, the metal structures are painted. If the seat attach the crossbar to the carbines, it can be easily removed if necessary.
