DIY Patio Swing Rebuild

We found this patio swing on the curb and I decided to give it a makeover. This project was done in Summer 2020 and with lumber prices as high as they are now, you may want to hold off even on a project like this.

I have had 2 of these lying around for years but I always told myself I'd fix them but never knew how! Thank you for this!!

[@DaveOTech]

It's a fun project!

[@viopocol4906]

Mulțumesc ! Ești deosebit de talentat și bun ca împărtășești și altora

[@TruthMattersJ146]

Great job! I will be rebuilding mine soon. Thanks.

[@asondareyes5482]

Good job!

[@robinphillips8665]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I have a swing with moldy cloth on it that holds water. I was thinking about putting webbing on it until I seen your video. Wood seems like the way to go.

[@DaveOTech]

Swing is still going strong! No signs of degradation.

[@youarehere1251]

I would cut off the excess on each bolt and grind it smooth for safety reason, especially with small children. Good job.

[@DaveOTech]

Thank you. I agree, those bolt ends have to go. That'll be the next project I work on.

Thanks so much for the video, my husband re-did ours with your guidance. Could not attach picture.

[@DaveOTech]

No problem! Glad he could make it work. We're still using ours to this day, still holding up strong!

Nice job

[@DaveOTech]

Thanks! Just set up on the porch, still holding strong.

I love my swing

[@rajnikantlavingia8105]

Good job. I have the same swing. The.planks are 2x8

[@DaveOTech]

Thanks!

What was the angle you figured out to cut for the back pieces?

[@DaveOTech]

I do not remember. I bought a protractor from Home Depot and measured the angle of the metal, and used that.

[@kaci7789]

With configuration, does the swing lay flat?

[@DaveOTech]

Hey, mine does not. However it may be possible to do something and make it lay flat.

[@ulisesdiaz9672]

Could you please give me the list of materials you used and the measurements. From already thank you very much

[@DaveOTech]

Hi, the measurements depend on what you are attaching the boards to. I started out with 3 short 2x3s on the bottom. Then screwed in 5 1x4s across the 2x3s. I did the same for the back part of the swing. Use any wood stain to stain the wood, and then use polyurethane to seal it.

[@StockdaleJamie]

Any way to mod it to lay down

[@DaveOTech]

Hi, what do you mean by that specifically?
