Using salvaged pieces from the old swing, we made copies and templates for future builds. This is one of two pieces for the lower swing support.

Another shoot of us using old parts as a template. We decided to beef the lumber size up for our build. 

Once the pieces are cut, we used a small round-over bit in a trim router to ease all the edges. 

Once all the pieces were prepped, assembly began with the swing frame.

Installing the eye bolts to the swing frame. We went with heavy duty swing eye bolts verses zinc platted eye bolts.

After adding the chains, we simply hung the swing on the frame. We're very happy with the results!
