Set up a children's swing safely

A swing in the garden is ideal for endless children's fun. The attachment is the most important thing, so that nothing can happen to your little one. Here's how to do that.

1. If you race have ground anchors as a fastening for a Children's swing to recommend. Especially if you have a rental apartment with garden use. Because you can easily get these ground anchors out of the lawn.
2. To fix such a ground anchor, you have to turn the rods into the ground. Half a meter deep can withstand up to 135 kg and is therefore certainly sufficient for your children's swing.
3. When you have twisted the poles into the ground, all you have to do is pull the pull rope to get it into position. You can then load the ground anchor directly.

4. The safest method is to cast wooden or metal swings with metal anchors in concrete. To do this, dig 4 holes at the ends of the children's swing.

5. You can either screw the concrete anchors into a wooden frame swing or place the beams on the anchor and then screw them together.
6. If you have a children's swing with a metal frame, the frame bars are usually long enough to sink part of it into the ground.
7. Get 4 10 liter buckets from the hardware store and place them in the dug holes. Now place the scaffolding poles in the buckets and pour concrete over them. There should be about a hand's breadth of space above the buckets, up to the surface of the earth.
8. Now you can fill the holes with soil again and green them. In this way, you can dismantle the scaffolding again at some point without having to make a lot of effort.

Whichever variant you choose, have fun swinging!
