Swing Tree
How can I make a tree swing anchored to an uneven branch swing straight?
I’m making a set of tree swings for my neighbor’s boys, but the swings keep getting tangled. I understand the physics of uneven swings, but don’t know how to fix this problem. I’ve heard that I can drill through the tree and thread the swing’s rope through a pbc pipe fulcrum, but won’t that a) hurt the neighbor’s tree, and b) be too weak? let me know what you think.
Bolting through the branch sounds like it will harm the tree.
Could do what is done for treehouses…in reverse.
If you cannot bridge over to another branch to create a level beam
Could try to protect the branch by putting a timber “pad” on top & a bevelled or blocked timber below for level.
Could make U bolts out of threaded rod & use plates to clamp them together …strap iron?
Eyeblots fixed to the bottom timber for the swing ropes.
Just for chuckles , the contractor who built my porch told me I should
use uneven length chains to hang a porch swing from the pitched roof rafters.
Great if you want to swing in a semi circle.
Best regards
