Fantastic video! Thank you so much for sharing. I'm a 51-year old who still likes to swing with two early teenage kids who need a higher swing set, and something like this is what I'm going for, that can host a variety of swing types.
Awesome video! I would love to see you add a mom and pop swing on there so yall could swing while the kiddos enjoyed swinging and spending time together! Your videos always make me smile and remind me of home! Thanks for that!
Great man of God, and a good carpenter too! Thanks for the video. I've been planning a similar build, but it's cool to see that it' been done and is working. There are actual washers made for carriage bolts, but they can be hard to find. I'll bet the kids have a lot of fun on that.
Awesome. Hope it works out well. Ours is going strong. We are going to be adding a playhouse and slide to ours before too long. Letting it cool down here in the south before we tackle that. Lol
This looks amazing! We have 4 boys and a girl. Want to get a set built before my husband deploys. Just wondering why you went with single post as opposed to A Frame, besides a smaller footprint. Trying to decide which will be better for lots of grown kids. Thank you!
Thank you. We went this way because we wanted that smaller footprint, so we didn’t have post we’d bump into and extra space we would have to mow/weed eat around. So far it’s worked great and we use it a lot, even the adults. Lol
@@ashleycrosson3761 not yet. It’s on our to do list for Spring. We actually bought a fixer upper and have been neck deep in that. But we are hoping to repurpose a wood structure from that house and convert it to a playhouse for this swing set.
After a year, how is this holding up? Has the amount of sway changed when a couple of people are using the swings in the same bay? Thanks for the great video.
Thanks for the comment. Actually, it’s doing great. We don’t have anymore sway, which was minimal, than we started with. We are actually getting ready to add a slide and tree house to the end of the it, which was what we had in mind when we made it.
Great video! I'm gearing up to build a simple 2-swing version of this once the weather warms up. I debating between using your 2-4x4 post setup verses a single 6x6 post for the primary verticals. After a year of use, do you have any thoughts on which would make a stronger vertical post?
Thank you. We feel like the two 4x4s still was the best way to go. It’s not swaying or acting as if it’s any different than the day we built it. We checked on 4x4s and 6x6s the other day for another project and the 4x4s were $16, while the 6x6s were $50+ each. Lol
How is it holding up? A lot of designs have wide legs front to back because that's where all the force from swinging goes. Is there any rocking or twisting yet with the two in one beams you did? Looks like a great design for me since my yard is sloped and math is hard, this keeps it kind of 2 dimensional, easier to plan.
Ours is holding up great. There’s a slight rock, but that’s been there since the cement dried. It’s definitely not worse, but it’s not much of one to begin with. We’ve used it a lot and several times have had a full load with teenagers and adults on it.
I’m not sure I follow your question. Are you saying one station, as in just one swing in between two poles and that’s all, instead of 3-4 stations like we have? If so, I’d say yes I think it would work fine. Ours has held up great so far. There’s been a few times we’ve had all teenagers on it and it has done great.
Yes, 2 posts and one beam…I don’t have the space for your 4 post/3 beam set up so I want to try it with just 2 posts and one beam. I wasn’t sure if tying all your beams and posts together made it much more rigid (no sway).
@@TheTrentTribe Taller the better! Have a look here on RUclips at some of the really tall swings.. You may not be wasting any board at all after having a peep, lol.
how many 50 lbs bags did you use in total and how deep what the hole you dig? I am trying to figure how the math. Will I need 10 bags for a 4 feet hole for both sides?
I think that’s about right. If I remember correctly, we bought 40 bags and used all or most all of them. That was 50 pound bags. The hardware store just delivered them on a pallet, which was great. Lol
We were trying to figure this out yesterday. It seems we were around $1000 for it all, but wood was more expensive when we did it. Probably quite a bit less now.
@@TheTrentTribe i've been delaying building something because wood prices. But the kits are all mostly 1 by boards and my kids will destroy that we need it sturdy I got 3 boys

Thank you! We’ve been on there a few times, but no video. Can’t wait to fill it up with more grand babies as well as our little guys. 😁
Good and easy to follow instructions. Thanks.

Nice!!!! cant wait to build one using some of your ideas. Thanks!!

I am about to attempt to do this project. Thanks for the instructions!
You’re welcome! Ours is still going strong. Hope yours turns out great!
Looks good. Swing set for the remaining littles and the Grands coming up.
Thank you. We are hoping it last for years to come. Good to hear from you.
Who's watching it in 2024🎉
This is fantastic! Did you ever end up adding in a playhouse?
Great video! Thanks for sharing! Question: For those 3' deep holes, how wide did you dig them?
10/10 ❤ loved it I sub
Looking good
Thanks!!
Could I get the full parts list for this?
Could i get a list of what you bought how long are the post and how much did you cut off?

@@TheTrentTribe ah, fun stuff! That'll definitely keep you busy and the kids!
This is great...do you have a complete build list including concrete etc..?
We do not unfortunately. But this one has worked great and still standing strong.

Wea are ready to see the new video of the slide and the tree house
@@TheTrentTribe what is the length of the 4x4s and how much did you cut off ?

Have you discovered if it sways a lot while multiple swings are being used?

do you have a material list and how far in the ground
Do you have a supply list for this??
8:44 safety squints! Lol
At least you have some coverage from your eyeglasses
What was the height you ended up with from the ground to the suspension hooks?
How tall are the two middle posts?
How tall did you go?
Would one station (2 poles) be as rigid as you three station setup?
I’m not sure I follow your question. Are you saying one station, as in just one swing in between two poles and that’s all, instead of 3-4 stations like we have?

@@stoweman34 gotcha. I’m guessing if you go deep enough on your poles, you’d be fine. I wouldn’t hesitate to do it myself.
Nice video. They need to be about 5 feet taller! Higher the support, the better the swing! The kids won't outgrow it as fast, lol.
That’s a good idea. Might have to add onto these with two sections that are taller. Lol
@@TheTrentTribe Taller the better! Have a look here on RUclips at some of the really tall swings.. You may not be wasting any board at all after having a peep, lol.
@@TheTrentTribe Don't forget your math! Centrifugal force + Weight of rider + height of swing = How much support you need to prevent sway.
Hey can i ask where you got the accessories from the swing itself etc
We got all of it from Amazon. Just search accessories and you should find tons.
Could you give me a list of hardware please.
How long are the spacers you used?
Basically just scraps, so most of them are 4x4 inch. They do the job so far.
how many 50 lbs bags did you use in total and how deep what the hole you dig? I am trying to figure how the math. Will I need 10 bags for a 4 feet hole for both sides?

@@tinyku that was the reason we didn’t go with a kit. Cheap wood that won’t last long.
Just did mine with 6x6 posts, and 2 2x6 headers. With Lumber, concrete and hardware, I was sitting under 600 canadian.
Still holding up? Getting ready to build ours….
It’s great! We’ve not had the first issue.
How much was this project?
