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.

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
