Maybe make a letter H, with a very long center
|--------------------|
between the trees, out of two by sixes. Lag bolt them on, so
you can trim the boards as the trees grow. Hang the swing
from that.

Or use two big screw eyes, and a cable. But, since the trees
are only about five feet apart, the boards are a better
idea.

Let's say I have two large trees in my backyard that are
about 61" apart
and 69" and 59" in diameter. Unfortunately there is no
branch for a swing
in the perfect place higher up between them, in fact the
lowest branch is
on the other side on one of the trees, and it's about 20
feet high (I don't
think my ladder could reach it even if I wanted to).

Is there some way to affix a rope, maybe about 15 feet high,
between the
two trees so I can string a swing from it? What's the best
way to do this
without harming the trees and not have it slowly slip down?
I thought this
might make a neat summer project. Thanks.
