HOW TO BUILD YOUR SWING SET In order to build this swing set you must purchase wooden beams. The A-frame brackets are designed to be used with a 4x6 top beam and 4x4 support beams. To build the swing set 8ft depth and 7.8ft height.
PREPARING THE SWING HANGING BAR • Measure and mark the 120” top beam for placement of the swings. Make the markings on the 4” surface of the beam. Mark each spot where a swing hanger screw must be installed to hang a swing chain on. See the diagram below for the measurements of how to place your swings in accordance with safety requirements. Dotted lines indicate where markings must be made. 12’’ 16’’ 8’’ 15’’ 8’’ 16’’ 25’’ 20’’ • Drill holes through the beam using a 3/8" drill bit.
ATTACHING THE TOP BEAM TO THE A-FRAMES NOTE: YOU WILL REQUIRE THE ASSISTANCE OF ANOTHER PERSON FOR THIS PART OF THE ASSEMBLY. 1. Lay the top beam on the ground on a 6” side, with the screw hangers on the side closer to you. 2. Stand one A-Frame on its side, with one beam flat on the ground and the other in the air. The legs should be pointing in the same direction as the swing hangers. (See Image) 3. Lift the top beam slightly and tilt it so that it can slide into the opening on the A-Frame bracket.
