How To make a swing with Wood Like A Chair? Help!

Polyester Rope: Braided polyester rope is probably the best rope choice among the synthetic ropes for a tree swing. It holds up well to the elements, provides maximum strength, and has little stretch.

Nylon Rope: While the strongest rope, nylon is susceptible to stretching and can be slippery for little hands to grasp.

Polypropylene Rope: This lightweight rope is the least expensive rope available. Polypropylene rope makes a poor choice since it deteriorates rapidly in the sun’s UV rays.

Natural Fiber Rope: These include ropes made from natural plant materials including manila, cotton, sisal, and hemp. While popular for rustic tree swings, natural fiber ropes are not as strong as synthetic rope, will rot over time, and can break without warning. If you use a natural fiber rope on a tree swing, be sure to replace it every year or two.

Metal Chain: While not as attractive as rope with a tendency to pinch small fingers, corrosion resistant chain is strong and holds up well to the elements. Chain should only be used for swings installed with eye bolts, and not attached around a tree branch.

Try this link for best results. If you don't have a tree that's strong enough. Buy 3 locust or red wood posts. Plant two uprights in ground about 2 feet wider than the swing you put up. Then put the 3RD one on top of posts. Use large nails or check for a metal clamp to hold them. Then drill holes in top bar for large I bolts centered and spaced for your swing. Use heavy clamps, S-hooks, or the hooks used by climbers to attach the swing. My grandfather had a porch swing that had heavy hooks on the back and side handles, had I bolts in top beam and used medium weight chain to support swing. Of course it was a two person swing. Had one on porch and one in yard. Put up a hammock by putting up one post and running other end through fork of tree. Used piece of inner tube to cover the chain and protect tree. They lasted at least 25 years(based on my life span there). Still standing when we moved and I know he put them up before I was born.
