How to Make a Rustic Rope and Wood Tree Swing.
We have a nice sized oak tree in our side yard that’s been begging for a little rope swing. (Ok, so maybe it wasn’t the oak tree begging, lol.)
I did finally manage to “talk” my hubby into putting together a simple rope and wood swing for the tree. Once he started on it, he put the swing together in no time at all. I’m definitely very thankful he is good at this kind of stuff. (He’s also made me a picnic table, headboard for my son’s room and my little bubble fountain. (Thanks, honey!)

Would you like to make one too? (or get someone else to make it for you?) Here is how he did it:

Tip: these instructions are for a 24-inch wide swing. *To make the swing wider, just increase the width of your wood!
- 2 by 6 piece of wood at least *6 foot long
- 1-inch rope
- 16 3-inch screws
- 16 washers (Hubby says 2 by sixes are not really 2 inches, so he used the washers to make sure the screws did not poke out the other side.)
- Stain or paint (optional)
- (drill, saw other misc tools)

My childhood memories are evoked by the rustic form of tree swing. It’s good to see that it’s still available on this generation. When I came across treeswingstore.com, I saw some of this. I can image how delighted the children will be after using this swing.
Tree swings bring back so many memories for me! I needed my kids to have one. We actually made one and they absolutely love it. They definitely stand out from ordinary swing sets.
