tree to tree, give it a little slack, and drop the swing chains about
10 or 11 inches in from each tree.

a strong gust of wind and someone's going to get a face full of tree trunk.



Those ain't 59"-61" in diameter. Circumference, maybe.

The floating beam idea in my last post will work fine with those. As
close together as the trees are, I'd put the chains for the seat a
little further apart at top, than at seat level, to reduce chances of
somebody getting their arc cockeyed and hitting the trunk.
