Children's Oak Rope Swing - Medium or Large seat - 16mm rope - Loop & Splice

Great garden tree swing for kids or adults, Can be fitted to tree branch, pergola and also great as a replacement for the garden swing frame. Lovely rustic wooden seat with thick polyhemp rope. 

Seat size:
Medium - 45cm long x 15cm wide x 2.4cm thickness, great for kids, ages up to around 15..
or 
Large - 48cm wide x 21cm deep x 3.5cm thickness, more spacious size great for kids and will also fit most adults
 
Engraving:
Optional personalisation on one or both sides, in capital or lower case and even a little pic (as shown in images) I have a star, heart and flower as my standard images. Engraved by laser at approx. 2mm depth.
Simply write the text as it should appear on the swing eg:
1 side = THE OLD SCHOOL HOUSE
2 side = SHOOT TO THE MOON
or
1 side = (heart image) Chloe & Ben (star image)
 
The standard font size I use (as pictured above) enables 20 capitals or 26 lower case letters to fit, this includes any spaces or images. You are able to have more letters but note the text will be reduced in size the more you have.

Rope:
From 3 metres up to 10 metres each side, 16mm thick rope.
I use premium quality polyhemp soft touch rope which is soft on the hands and very hard wearing, its also rot resistant so can be left out all year round. The swing comes with the rope looped through the seat and hand spliced together giving a lovely characterful traditional look. Need more rope, no problem just get in touch for a quote.
 
To measure the rope length needed:
1. measure from floor to the hanging area/bough
2. minus the amount that the seat height will be from the floor, I generally recommend approx. 65cm seat height from floor for family use or so the tallest user can tippy toe while seated.
3.now allow for a additional length to go around the area 2 times and have approx. 50cm extra for fixing the rope clamps.
to calculate a branch circumference simply multiply its diameter(thickness) by 3.14.. Its always better to have too much than too little.

Fixing swing:
Supplied with 4 steel rope clamps (2 each side), simply wrap the rope around the branch or frame 2 times add the clamps then tighten up the nuts with a spanner.. Done!
If you would prefer to fit the swing with a knot that's no problem as in the box will be info and link to video on how to tie the 'swing hitch knot' which is very good also.
 
Finish:
The oak seat is finished in an external UV protecting refined oil which penetrates deep into the oak and provides long term protection while allowing the oak to age gracefully and develop a natural patina as it weathers over time. More maintenance info supplied in the box.
