The actual swing rope would be attached via 4 holes in the corner of the

Would you be lashing the three logs to two lighter ones at right angles,
to keep them in one plane (g)?

That's a good idea - I have thinner ash (from the branches).

If so, a square lashing is what you
want, though you might find it hard to get the three logs acceptably
close to each other.


Touching isn't absolutely necessary - in fact having a gap would probably
help, allowing detritus and rain to fall through rather than getting
trapped.
