Get swinging!
I've not tried much swinging lately but used to do a lot when I was younger!
For a couple of years I've wanted to make a swing seat for summer. This is the Mk 1 bodged together. I just wanted to see how it would work. The Mk 2 I'll use some bigger wider timber, chains, springs and it'll sort of look like this in a frame Bespoke Curved Oak Garden Swing Seats UK which if it looks very similar I haven't copied it at all it'll just be coincidence!  Anyone else made a swing seat out there? Is there a good place to buy ready made cushions for one? (cream if possible)

Re: Get swinging!
You're going to forever be snagging your tights on the edge of that
 I like that. It's way better that the bit of old flooring board we had as kids.

Re: Get swinging!
This is just a rough 'un! I just wanted to see how it could be fixed.
The next one will be posh with no tights snagging!

Re: Get swinging!
Could you put a holder for the Pimms on the end somewhere?
 Very nice idea Rob .
