Nice video, very informative. It's been a while since your swing was put up, and I wondered if tree movement from swaying in the wind had led to any wear on the cross beam bolt holes or any loosening of the lag bolts. I'm considering a similar setup between 2 large northern red oaks in CT, and they do sway with about a 1" movement (10 feet from the ground, moderate breeze ) with enough force that there almost certainly would be some wear after a season or two. So I'm thinking that the beam on one tree could be fixed with lag bolts but that I would have to design a support on the other tree that would allow for some sliding movement.
After considering one 2x6 to span 12 feet, then considered sandwiching two 2x6’s for added security I happened upon this video and was glad I did. Very sturdy, safe design. Thanks David….
Lol, well it certainly made the tiny picture bigger. However, yes a horizontal filming would have laid out more of a working visual lol. I was just happy that I could enlarge it to my full area of my phone. Lol grumpy 😡 bear
Thank you very much... I was trying to figure how I would do that between my 2 empty branches trees lol and indeed you are the only one to solve that problem!
This is exactly what I needed to help me hang a web swing between tree that are too far apart. Thanks a bunch!
Thanks so much for sharing. You're a natural!
Looks very sturdy! You gotta have those coffee breaks on cloudy days. The large washers were a good call.
Good video . Thanks

same project in planning stages, same tree species. Did you come up with anything? have you seen TAB 's from Treehouse Supplies?
Y-swing would have Been far easier. Good lord
Very nice
I would love an update! Anything you’d do different or change? I’m going to get my coffee while I wait ☕️ ☀️

Awesome tutorial...appears to be safer than a lot of the others...and such a cute smile for an added bonus lol 😎 Thank you
Turned out awesome man! Still holding up? Also, try filming sideways so it's a little easier to view! Thanks!🤙
Thanks!!!!! Well done
For your second video, you need to record in landscape and not in portrait.
I just stretched the picture bigger and voila problem solved
@@tinapowers6202 that's hardly solving anything

@@tinapowers6202 well, modern problems require modern solutions. Good job Tina!
I like how he said, " I get a coffee break." Lol
Great 👍🏻
