    You suggest using a 4X6 beam on top and four 10' 4x4 legs? Your brackets will fit that size combo? I may use a 12' beam on top to make the swings safer apart. I will use a cross support beam on the sides as suggested below. Some suggest cutting the 10' legs to 9' in order for younger children to hop on the swings easier. Or for permanent mounting, bury the legs 1' in the ground with concrete. Just make sure your holes are level and at the same depth.

    • @room2zoom236
      @room2zoom236  Год назад +2

      Yes, that is a very typical combo, and they do fit that. To have lower swings for the younger children you just put on swings with long enough rope/chain for the swings to be low enough for them.

    What degree are the legs set at with these brackets? How far apart are the legs at the bottom of a frame?

    • @room2zoom236
      @room2zoom236  4 года назад +2

      The angle between the legs is 60 degrees. The legs are about 11 feet apart at the bottom, if you are using 10 foot 4x4 legs.

    Are those green brackets 'from everywhere online' the Vevor brand ones?

    • @room2zoom236
      @room2zoom236  Год назад

      There are Chinese imitations of these brackets out there now but you don't want to use them. They may look similar at first glance, but then you'll notice that the leg portion of the bracket is much too short, the steel is too thin, and the angle between the legs is only 50 degrees which means your swing set legs will lift up when the kids swing. So the design is similar, but the functionality is not. It seems that someone just tried to make a cheap copy of the brackets with no real concern for whether their copy would even work.

    Did you use anchors to keep it secure on the ground ?

    • @room2zoom236
      @room2zoom236  3 года назад +3

      No, it does not need any anchors. The angle between the legs is great enough that the set will not rock. Which is nice, because this means you can move it around the yard whenever you want to. If your kids start wearing out the grass in one place, you can pick it up and move it and give that grass a break!

    Can I go with 4x4x10 for each leg instead?

    • @room2zoom236
      @room2zoom236  5 месяцев назад +1

      Yes you can, I assume you mean instead of 4x4x12 that would make a tall 10 foot high swing set. A 4x4x10 will make an 8 foot high swing set.

      @room2zoom236  4 года назад +3

      Yes, you can. If you use legs longer than 10 feet I suggest you add a horizontal piece across the legs, forming the typical "A" frame structure, for added stability and strength.

      You can go to room2zoom.com and purchase a pair, and another single one. You can use the third one for the middle, but yes it does splay out/angle out to the side a bit, but people do it.

      Great idea! I've heard of others doing similar structures, as an A-frame structure is a strong structure, and much cheaper to build that a traditional four-walls-and-a-roof structure.

    What is max weight???

    • @room2zoom236
      @room2zoom236  Год назад +1

      The weight limit of a swing set is mostly determined by the top swing beam you are utilizing--the type of wood, the thickness of it, the length of the span, etc. So it is difficult to answer your question. These brackets are made from much thicker steel than most brackets to make them much stronger.

    • @room2zoom236
      @room2zoom236  Год назад +1

      Thank you! You may have already seen in my videos that a really nice thing about these brackets is that they will fit a beam of any width (5 1/2" in height, but of any width) so you can go with a beam size that you think will best suit your application. In fact you can fabricate a beam of 2x6 boards, three of them being the most typical, but you can go with four of them for an extra strong beam. You can see my video for making the Scallywag Swing Set, which utilizes a longer spanned beam made of four 2x6 boards.
