Beautiful ! You made that look easy to do but I know you’re glad to be sitting and swinging! Just need a cold drink in your hand as you explain it all. Love the builds!

[@TKCL]

We love having these swings

[@NicoleHoltActress]

You make it look so easy!

[@joebufford2972]

The post in before the rock is absolutely a necessity and it gives you a place to relax while taking a break 😁 I like the way you made your own hardware to join the post and beams together. Now that you have your metal shop, there's nothing you can't do!

[@TKCL]

Thank you for watching

[@JoshMoore424]

I’m always shocked you don’t have 100X the views you do. You build beautiful things and do great instructions along the way. Wish I lived close to you - would definitely be my friend. Keep the great content coming!

[@TKCL]

Thank you for watching and the support

[@PJ-uv9fr]

Those line levels are invaluable and so are the post levels.., used them for years! Lookin good son, can't wait for the next vid 💜💜💜

Thank you for watching

[@kingwood4357]

Andrew you continue to amaze me with your imagination, design and build skills 👍

[@TKCL]

Thanks 👍

[@Thetromboneman09]

Never been THIS early. Love the videos

[@TKCL]

Thank you for watching

[@pampilgrim2274]

Hi, Andrew! Your yard has the look of a resort. I love it. It’s like a huge outdoor room since the fence is painted.

[@TKCL]

Thank you, we love having this space.

[@tapzotto]

So practical, and great-looking!

[@jeremiahs45]

Well built Andrew. I had better not show this video to my girlfriend because she will want a set up like those swings

[@TKCL]

We are on them right now 😉

[@marlenefilicevelasco5333]

Needs some comfy cushions..Ruger would love that!

[@TKCL]

Ruger has already been swinging 🤣

[@ASiembieda]

The black metal gusset plates are a great touch! Great job!

[@TKCL]

Thanks

Damn Andrew you are a beast!!! Those 6x6 pt post ...you are handling them like toothpicks !!!

[@TKCL]

Lol they were killing me 🤣

[@luim0924]

That looks so comfortable! Great job, as usual.

[@TKCL]

Thank you!

[@josephcampbell9239]

Looks good brother. Are you looking to add a small canopy over the swing to keep some of the sun off?

[@HalfPint75]

Love the build. Looks amazing

[@TKCL]

Thank you!

[@michellmorales6393]

Such a great idea can’t wait to try this ourselves

[@TKCL]

Now you need to make small end tables on post for drinks.

[@TKCL]

We do have plans for tables.

[@kevinmahon4460]

Another amazing project !

Thank you

You have to make me worry even on my birthday, don't you? You aren't so young as to lift those beams by yourself, you gotta mind your back, LOL Great idea, Tiff, for V shape! People can communicate and enjoy time together. That string leveler is an awesome gadget!

[@TKCL]

I do need to be more careful, Tiffany was grocery shopping that day so I went for it myself.

[@tiffanykelleyscountry]

Happy Happy Birthday 🎉 hope you had a wonderful day ❤

[@TKCL]

Yes happy birthday, shame on em for reading so fast I didn't see that 😬

That is the perfect tree off in the back ground there. Nice.

[@TKCL]

Agreed, we want all of this showcasing that tree.

[@AdamDeal-KF0PRI]

that tree is the trademark of the channel! we all hope it lasts a long time! like Andrew and Tiffany that trees been through alot on there property!

[@jefffrancis6824]

VERY nice !!! 👀👀

[@TKCL]

Thanks!!

[@bobflores]

Star gazing is always nice. Do you think they'll get much daytime use? Any plans for some kind of retractable shade for daytime use? Maybe portable shade that can be easily move for star gazing. Thanks for the video.

[@TKCL]

No shade panned just yet. These will definitely be used day or night in the cooler times of the year.

[@babybluesfarm8595]

We have springs made for swings on our porch swing, makes for a softer and smoother swing

[@rongray4847]

Hi Andrew, yes that fence is the perfect colour for your new space. Love the two swings and where you put them, I remember back when you got those swings. I sometimes spend hours trying to to figure something out and you have the answers so easy. Love the good solid timber’s your using are they 8x8? The swing frame is a gorgeous beautiful job. The metal brackets just finish it off nice. 👍👍❤️❤️🇨🇦

[@TKCL]

Thanks! Those are 6x6 posts, plenty strong enough for swings as most people use 4x4s.

[@5150cash]

Of course after I visit then you start making it so awesome 😔.... 😭😭

[@TKCL]

You're going to have to come back.

[@madampolo]

I thought you should have concreted in the posts but that would have made it hard to be able to take them out if you ever wanted to. It might be the camera but it sure looks like your fence needs a second coat of paint. You guys must entertain tons of people a lot of times. Your pool looks so good in the background!

[@TKCL]

I do plan a second coat, I am going to roll the second on because the spraying didn't give me the results I was looking for. At times we entertain up 16 guests.

[@DT95978]

Have you seen the Prazi beam cutter? Harbor freight has a Hercules version as well

[@TKCL]

I sure have! I haven't had enough jobs to justify it but it is on my wish list.

[@aztodd74]

Every time I see it I think of you all those giant posts you’ve been cutting.

[@b-lopez394]

Nice! You should have coated the buried part of the post with tar to prevent premature deterioration since you live in a high moisture area. Is the plan includes sun shade? It helps the swing chairs last longer from baking from sun.

[@TKCL]

No shade as that heavily interferes with recording light for future videos.

[@outsidewithrodney8240]

Awesome build. Is the middle bracket bent for the support beams?

[@TKCL]

Yes, it is. I had to do that.

[@garrettgardner853]

Where did the brackets come from? The middle is me looked bent already to the angle you choose.

[@TKCL]

Got them from Amazon and I bent the middle to my specifications amzn.to/4dRZiix

[@hrlee1141]

You certainly don't need a gym membership. Looking great grown up swings.

[@TKCL]

You got that right!

[@AdamDeal-KF0PRI]

Ms. Lee all he needs is the monkey bars! 😂😂😂

[@hrlee1141]

Don't give him any ideas. Can you just picture Andrew on Monkey bars?

[@aaronwilson1519]

Looks great! Why didn't you put rock in the post holes for drainage like you usually do?

[@TKCL]

Because I didn't concrete the posts in. They can free drain in all directions.

[@astikennel]

With the temperature that cooker gets, I feel the swings are a bit too close 🔥? .... I was looking for Tiffany to be out helping, is she not home now? But what a great quick build!

[@TKCL]

We both agree it's the perfect distance away. This day she was out grocery shopping for us.

[@astikennel]

@@TKCL Gotcha, as we all know camera angles and such do alter perceptions and since y'all are there in real life its all good... grocery shopping is a nightmare anymore, I take a tissue with me for my tears instead of using the receipt

[@BluePiggy97]

Hey Andrew, did you use any concrete or quickcrete in those post holes? Or was it just dirt…..is the dirt sturdy enough?

[@TKCL]

Just dirt, but I went 4ft deep. No issues, we had 4 people on the swings last night.

[@jonathangreenawalt5724]

How are you securing the swings for a storm?

[@TKCL]

Taking them down.

[@jonathangreenawalt5724]

@@TKCL There is a lot of stuff on the 'take it down' list prior to a storm

[@chrisavila2073]

You forgot to put stone in the hole so post is not touching the dirt and will drain

[@TKCL]

I do that only when I concrete a post in and seal it.

[@Corey-dy2cq]

Say you folks are in the country right? Why the need for a wooden fence just begging to be taken down by Florida high winds?

[@HalfPint75]

It takes some serious wind to take fence down. The weather in N Fl usually ain't crazy...... usually. 😂

[@TKCL]

It's to make the space feel like a room or extension of the home. That fence isn't coming down. I over built it specifically to handle high winds.

[@peterwalker7869]

And there is your first mistake. cutting the posts off. It is a good idea to put a slant on the top of the posts so water does not just sit there. but runs off. You don't need a lot. % degrees is all that's required. But then I see you are adding more stuff above so my comment is irrelevant in this case. Should have waited to the end of video before commenting.
