hi,
i want to put up a tree swing, in the back yard. I have someone that will put up the rope... but i can't find a seat. Anyone ever purchase one and from where?
I was also thinking of purchasing a piece of wood, drill holes, sand down edges and either stain or paint. Anyone ever do this? Is there a certain width the rope should be separated on the limb? I'm assuming that they should be the same distance as the wholes on the seat, but since i'm no wiz with physics, math etc... i need all the help i can get. I would like it to turn out to be a working swing. :-)
thanks...debi
