DIY 🌳 Tree Swing (Ep 23)

Join us as we DIY a tree swing in our yard. We used some reclaimed wood for the seat of the swing. The only material we had to purchase was the rope, which was about $50 because the tree branch was so high up!

Selah is growing up so quickly. 😊❤️😊. ENJOY your new swing. ALL OF YOU! Blessings😊

Thank you, Debbie!

THE BEST SWING EVER !!!!! The best…the best !! We had 2 of those ❤️❤️. Oh the memories of swinging and swinging ! This almost makes me cry just thinking back on all the amazing memories of swinging with my best friend… siblings….🥰

[@ourdiyary]

It's gotten a lot of use already! It's also a nice little scene to see looking out my office window.

[@jemma50]

Now that's the *best* kind of swing! In playgrounds today, they have those rubber seats that hug your butt and are sooooo UNcomfortable. Safer, maybe, but not nearly as much fun! Good work, Rob! ♥♥♥ (Selah is such a cutie. ♥)

[@ourdiyary]

Yes! And this one looks way cuter. :)

[@jemma50]

@@ourdiyary Yes! 😁

[@robinwoods756]

My grandpa use to have one of these and I would swing on it everyday. I loved that swing it was so smooth to swing on and would go really high. Rob did a great job with this.

[@ourdiyary]

He did do a great job!

You have such a beautiful property! And such a handy husband!

Your kids will never forget the tree swing that 'Steppy' made! It will provide 100's of hours of pure joy.

[@ourdiyary]

We hope so! They played on it yesterday!

[@sharyn4271]

Great swing! Love the burning of the wood. A man can never have enough scrap wood! I recently bought an outdoor storage shed, needed shelves installed; my dad’s attic had just what I needed! 😊 Happy Mothers Day Lindsey. 💕

[@ourdiyary]

He's going to be so pleased that you are taking his side on the scrap wood! 😂

[@staciefreeman4396]

Wow, Domer family how fun is your new swing? It makes me feel like a kid again. Great job Rob, you really love your children and it shows. Hope you find some relief for the allergies Lindsey.

[@ourdiyary]

The allergies in our area seem to be worse this year than in others past. The kids love the new swing!

[@lesliejackson8188]

*HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, LINDSEY❣️💜😉 Great intro and camera work, Selah‼️🥰 Wonderful job on the swing, Rob, and I liked that you burned the wood for longevity protection of the wood itself. Not many Americans are aware of that technique; KUDOS‼️👌🖤*

[@ourdiyary]

Thank you, Leslie! We saw the wood burning technique in a video a couple of years ago and have used it a few times since then!

When we moved to so. IL from Chicago, our Dad made 2 swings in trees for us. We swang on them for years, until I was way high coming down and the rope broke. I probably fell 20' on my back. Knocked the wind out of me. No Dr, no ER...lol just pick her up dust her off. I also ran around the corner, fell through the open cellar door, bouncing off the stone wall on the way down. My Dad and Grandpa were down there in a split second. MOM 👩 screamed. No broken bones, no scratches. I think my guardian angel 😇 wears a football helmet ⛑ 🪖

[@ourdiyary]

Oh wow! Can't believe you fell from that high up and were okay!

[@peggynorton5535]

@@ourdiyary yep. My Dad just looked at me in amazement after I got my breath back. I was out playing baseball.

Awww Selah you're a natural. Awesome Job. Have fun Selah (Pauline S)

[@ourdiyary]

Thanks, Pauline!

[@chickadeeacres3864]

I was under the impression that you don’t have to varnish wood that has been burn treated. You could have saved yourself some time and expense. Still that’s an awesome swing. The challenge is always finding the right tree and getting up there.

[@ourdiyary]

You don’t but we wanted to make sure all the charcoal wouldn’t rub off on our clothes. 🙂

I can't seem to find a video that shows how you anchor the rope at the top of the tree without climbing it so that you are making the swing like you do with just a single rope on each side. I saw you throw it up and you had two strands dangling on each side but you end up with one strand. So I still don't know how to attach it at the top.

[@ourdiyary]

We threw one really long rope over the branch. The two "sides" that dangled down are the two sides of the swing (to hold onto.) Does that make sense?

[@Alexandra4JC]

@@ourdiyary Thanks for trying but if you threw just one long rope and both ends dangled didn’t the top end in a “V”? It seems that would make the swing spin. Maybe I’m just not understanding. I don’t know. But thanks!

[@10Wazza]

I came here to see the rope tying part u and iam totally confused right now

[@ourdiyary]

We were so confused too!

[@kanzensaimin2257]

What type of rope did you buy?

[@ourdiyary]

Ooh! I don’t remember! It was a thick stock rope from Home Depot or Lowe’s - Nothing special!
