Seeking tips about a backyard swing
Trees that size will not be harmer by screwing 1/2", 8" long eye bolts
into them. Predrill 1/2" pilot holes slightly angled downward and coat the eye bolt threads with wax/parafin (latex works, too. Raw latex is the natural "waxy" coating on leaves). 1/4" or 3/8" S hooks to attach the swing's chains. If you have some milkweed plants (Monarch butterfly caterpiller food = latex), rub the leaves on the bolt threads, if you don't have a candle handy. Sonny |
