This is one of the safest and easiest tire swings to make for your kids. Super cheap to make and saves you money. Other tire swings are made with chains, metal, steel hooks and brackets and all of those things can hurt your kids. They can pinch fingers, chip teeth (after all that money on braces) and some parts can loosen, fall apart and cause injury. On this tire swing, there is no steel parts exposed to harm your kids fingers, legs and especially their teeth. It's an all rope (almost) tire swing design. It's very strong, and will give your kids years of fun and play. This tire swing holds 3 kids and can take many years of fun and abuse.
● ROPE .... Visit a mountain equipment climbing store or Arborist store. It's worth the extra money to get good strong rope that's UV protected.
● TIRE .... Go to any car dealership or tire store and pick a good tire from their scrap tire heap for a few bucks or for free.
● PARENTS .... Everything wears down and will eventually fail after many years in the sun and elements outside. This design is way better than other tire swing designs but be vigilant as a parent to always check that your tire swing is in good working order and is safe to play on. Inspect your playground equipment on a regular or annual basis. Be smart, be safe.
