1. To make such garden self-made swing from metal we will need to get a tire, buy carbines and a hook, and also a metal chain. We will hang all this magnificence either on a branch of a tree, or we will acquire special strong belts and fasten them between trees.
2. The first step in making a garden swing of metal with your own hands in this way is to make a hole for the hook.
3. To the hook we will attach the carbine and already to it the chain.
4. Such hooks we need three: our task is to arrange them at equal distances, so that in future the garden garden swings from the metal do not slope to one side.
5. Well and further business remains for small: we fasten a chain and we suspend a ready design.

1. The dimensions of the garden swing from the metal are standard and usually the frame itself is much more durable than the seat. It is not so difficult to build it: these are two A-shaped welded frames with a baffle for stiffness, they are connected together by a pipe in the upper part.
2. Manufacturing of garden swings from metal in this case consists in search of garden chairs. Ideally, these are metal chairs, which can be welded to the frame. If you did not find one, you can always take a plastic one and fasten it with bolts.
3. It is important that it is the dimensions of the garden swing made of metal that match the dimensions of the seats. Next, we cut off the legs and fix the structure. If desired, you can remove the side parts and make one solid construction.
