  • My grandkids love our tire swing. It is hung from a large oak tree on a hill so they get lots of height.
  • Here is the hardware you need. 3 two inch U-bolts, 3 four and a half pieces of chain and a quick connect.
  • Placement of the swing is very important. Make sure there is plenty of room for those big circle swings.

  • Erosion was a real problem. Not to mention the dirt the builders brought in. Very sticky clay plus a ton of rocks.
  • This is what we had to work with.
  • We dug out and built these tiers by hand one shovel at a time! We took the Garden of Eden Film approach and brought in compost plus year old mulch to serve as a natural "covering". So we rarely water our garden.
