Before a purchase I need to know a few things to see if it is the right plan for us. The length of this to see if it fits in the space I have. I’d also like to know the height bc I don’t want to build something that won’t give a good thrilling swing for my older kids. Does this design require tie-down or cementing? Seems like that is a good idea for most A frames? If so do you recommend the easiest/best brands for this?

Thanks
Mary

The swing set designed to be 8’7 1/2″ from the ground to the top of the beam. It needs to be low to make the tire swing safer. Yes it is recommended that the post are setting to the ground with concrete for maximum durability.

Brice,
Can this be made taller to support larger kids or adults, say, up to combine weight of 400 lbs.?

Mike,
Yes, you can just extend the post length to gain more height and it can support the weight of adults having fun on it.

Brice,
I’m having trouble getting a 6×8 18′ timber locally. Would I be ok with 6×6 treated yellow pine or cedar?
Also, on PD2 there is a mistake. In the lower left corner it calls for 8×8’s instead of 6×6’s.
