Wooden swings are the delight of children. They used to be made by just hanging rope from a strong tree branch. Now they can be custom made and contain a variety of accessories.  The wood used in building a wooden swing set is of the best quality designed to withstand the rigorous play of children and the elements of weather. The best wood to use is cedar, but pine and redwood are also used. However, pine has to be chemically treated in order to last and redwood has to be stained annually to maintain its colour.

Wooden swings are constructed by heavy beams in the frame and are anchored securely in the ground. The swing hammers are attached through holes drilled in the wood. The galvanized hardware is recessed in the wood to prevent any protruding hooks or screws from causing any accidents. Children can swing happily and the parents know that they are safe.

Many people choose wooden swings for their backyards as they are environmentally friendly and are a pleasant addition to the outdoors. They suit any style and colour of d?r, even though they can be stained or painted. They are very strong – able to hold approximately fifty pounds more than metal swing sets. They can also be built according to a set of plans or factory made. The lumber required can be easily obtained from any lumberyard and ordinary tools, such as saws and hammers, are all that are needed. The lumber can be purchased already sawed and drilled for easier construction.
