[@serrincroft7771]

Came for the DIY, stayed for that relaxing narration. Thanks for the video!

[@chrishelbling3879]

"The little springy things..." Well put. Bravo on your fabulous project.

[@markmalin6466]

I think I napped a little on this video. His commentating is so chill. Great video.

[@jeffuhl763]

Nice video. I like your design. Narration was great...especially the swinging at the end!

[@DarkStoneCastle]

Thanks, buddy!

[@d.j.stangegfx2400]

Excellent work!!!!!! Doing one for by my fire pit and been googling- think I'll use yours.

[@je9794]

You are awesome... great video and your swing looks beautiful. Informative and entertaining. I've also reset my inner narration voice to yours.

[@evanbrown2896]

Great video! Got the idea for an arbor swing in my head today, and this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

[@Jessica3020]

love the video commentary, very funny and entertaining.

[@DarkStoneCastle]

Thanks

[@ajrollan5304]

Thank you very much, your voice is also very soothing

[@EDobbers]

Love this!! Saving for a DIY project!

[@bayarea4085]

ive been looking for something simple and cool...you are awsum....please make more videos...

[@saraettl9111]

I like this design! (and your nice chillaxed accent LOL) I want to make a swing set using this as the base structure. I feel like I could build this!

[@dustinhendon]

how tall were the 6x6 posts?

[@marianocastillo7347]

Where did you get the green hinges for the swing?

[@russellnolan3524]

sounds like the bob ross of amature wood working

[@spal6858]

Nice job! What size support beams across the top?

[@vpfyi5525]

Wowwwww great job 👍🏾

[@BEOBIGEVILONLINE]

Good job.

[@lookatmynutsandbolts]

Nice job! Thanks for sharing.

[@21jersh]

only one view angle of the completed work. looks great though.

[@michelemoncrief4604]

Love this video and design. How long are the 2x2s that you put on top? Thanks!

[@femineity]

GREAT VIDEO! Thanks for sharing! Now if only I could do something like that! I have great, GREAT neighbors next door and they have an above ground pool with a deck that happens to be smack dab up against my fence so YUP! You guessed it! No privacy in the Summer AT ALL! They have a direct view right into my back yard. I was looking to have an Pergola/Arbor built, something very simular to the one you've so beautifully built for your swing (which I never thought of doing, a swing that is) and I wanted to make a trellis by placing Lattice just on the upper 3rd of it and maybe train some flowering climbing plants of some sort to block the view from above. I've been looking on the www for someone to make and install it for me and my mom but they are way to expensive and many of them are just as you said, flimsy and not worth the money they want even if I had it to spend! I don't know, maybe I'll try making one myself. I haven't any carpentry skills (or electric saws and such so I guess I'll have to rent those) and my messuring sucks balls too so...I don't know. Wish me luck and thanks again for the video! It was quite helpful!

[@allensmith284]

Great work!

[@castano00]

I know your video is a couple years old but was wondering approximately how much did the Pergola cost you, not counting your swing. This was a great video probably something that I will want to do.

[@DarkStoneCastle]

I'd say around $500, not including tools or swing itself.

[@unwelcomemotivation]

LOLOLOL love the narrator, sounds like theo von

[@holmanbuchanan9406]

What size carriage bolts were used?

[@biggiesmalll]

Looks great! Is it as solid and sturdy as it looks?

[@DarkStoneCastle]

Extremely sturdy.

[@mmehta413]

Hi, nice video! What size are the beams/wood that go across from one pole to the other? Thanks!

[@KSBirring]

Started to dig the holes today, what kind of pressure treated wood did you use for the posts and main boards? Thank you and awesome video.

[@DarkStoneCastle]

Just whatever they had at Lowes. Just your standard pressure treatment.

[@fandrewperri]

Great instructions and far more enjoyable with the swear words.

[@yashesvisharma4810]

This is great. What was the original length of the 6X6? and how tall is the swing hook from ground? Thanks!

[@DarkStoneCastle]

+Yashesvi Sharma The 6x6's were originally 12 ft in length. Top of swing hook (where it meets the wood) to ground is 7ft 3in.

[@yashesvisharma4810]

Thanks!

[@okekeou]

Great work. Pls what is the distance between the inside edge of the two posts? And also, did you use 2x12x12 or 2x6x10 boards? I will appreciate your response. Thanks. I am looking to build one myself

[@DarkStoneCastle]

Distance between the inside edges of posts is 6ft 11in. I think I had planned for it to be 7ft but was an inch off. Used 2x10x12 boards.

[@okekeou]

Thanks

[@Dinonuggets90]

nice...where did you get the bench/swing? ??

[@DarkStoneCastle]

Think we got the swing on Ebay...It was the same one they had on theporchswingcompany.com but for cheaper price.

[@Dinonuggets90]

Thank YOU sir

[@chewningwitmer5806]

You can use woodprix plans and plans. The best plans and very detailed instructions. You can learn a lot from them and do it yourself.

[@starrstewart7083]

Woodprix has very good and accurate plans.

[@easterstedman236]

I did the same with Stodoys :)

[@IFuzzyWuzzyDoodle]

Good instructions but would have been more enjoyable without the swear words.

[@scottcarlson3470]

wahhh

[@oscargarcia521]

Such a debbie downer

[@chrisdewoody1529]

Shit on that

[@guysix]

It was a rather unnecessary , call me a Doug downer. Nice swing set though.
