Tools Required

Materials Required

  • 4x4 x 8 ft. Cedar-tone treated pine (4)
  • 4x6 x 10 ft. Cedar-tone treated pine (1)
  • 5/16 x 2-1/2-in. screw eyes (4)
  • 5/8 x 12-in. J bolts (4)
  • Pairs of swing hangers (3)
  • Swingset frame brackets (2)

Editors note: We used pre-fabricated frame brackets for this project. For the amount of time and skill it would take to build a sturdier swing set, they are totally worth the purchase. Also, this project does not include the actual swings. We encourage you to create your own or purchase separately.
