How do I hang a swing from trees that have no low branches?
+5
I have lots of old hardwood trees but nowhere to hang a swing. There are two trees that are the perfect distance apart to hang a swing between them, but how and where would I attach something from which I could hang a swing?

You would need to add some sort of anchor to support the ropes/chains to keep them in place. Depending on the thickness of the tree you could try add some metal spikes just below the rope or chains.
WOW! 23 great grandchildren. Yep, you'll need more than one or they'll fighting over them.
Bury two sturdy poles in concrete to hold the swing!
