Build Your Own Swing Set - Step by Step

Here’s a unique DIY swing set idea. We will take you through step by step on how we did this. Make it even better and turn it into a family project.

Awesome video! I would love to see you add a mom and pop swing on there so yall could swing while the kiddos enjoyed swinging and spending time together! Your videos always make me smile and remind me of home! Thanks for that!

Fantastic video! Thank you so much for sharing. I'm a 51-year old who still likes to swing with two early teenage kids who need a higher swing set, and something like this is what I'm going for, that can host a variety of swing types.

Great man of God, and a good carpenter too! Thanks for the video. I've been planning a similar build, but it's cool to see that it' been done and is working. There are actual washers made for carriage bolts, but they can be hard to find. I'll bet the kids have a lot of fun on that.

Good and easy to follow instructions. Thanks.

Thank you. Looks great. I am going to build a swing for a 5’ seat for mostly adults (heavier people than kids). Will see how it turns out. Will use two 6” x 6” x 12’ posts, one on each side. Probably at least 80 lb bag concrete at base of each post. Hopefully no to minimal swinging of posts. 🤞🏻

Nice!!!! cant wait to build one using some of your ideas. Thanks!!

I am about to attempt to do this project. Thanks for the instructions!

Looks good. Swing set for the remaining littles and the Grands coming up.

This is fantastic! Did you ever end up adding in a playhouse?

[davidtodd]

Did you ever add on that treehouse? If so, i would like to see it.

Also, what was the height you ended up with from the ground to the suspension hooks?

Great video! Thanks for sharing! Question: For those 3' deep holes, how wide did you dig them?

[melissarose]

Could i get a list of what you bought how long are the post and how much did you cut off?

[lancebaker]

Great video! I'm gearing up to build a simple 2-swing version of this once the weather warms up. I debating between using your 2-4x4 post setup verses a single 6x6 post for the primary verticals. After a year of use, do you have any thoughts on which would make a stronger vertical post?

[ashleycrosson]

This looks amazing! We have 4 boys and a girl. Want to get a set built before my husband deploys. Just wondering why you went with single post as opposed to A Frame, besides a smaller footprint. Trying to decide which will be better for lots of grown kids. Thank you!

[typennies]

This is great...do you have a complete build list including concrete etc..?

[mohhkneekuhh]

Have you discovered if it sways a lot while multiple swings are being used?

[brianpolash]

do you have a material list and how far in the ground

[ogleo]

After a year, how is this holding up? Has the amount of sway changed when a couple of people are using the swings in the same bay? Thanks for the great video.

[zrobertez]

How is it holding up? A lot of designs have wide legs front to back because that's where all the force from swinging goes. Is there any rocking or twisting yet with the two in one beams you did? Looks like a great design for me since my yard is sloped and math is hard, this keeps it kind of 2 dimensional, easier to plan.

At least you have some coverage from your eyeglasses
